Nothing Matters Anymore

<p>It's weird how nothing matters anymore. Decisions are made, letters are printed, envelopes are sealed, lives will be forever changed. I find it funny how people still ask others about their chances or whether or not they are strong candidates. The admissions game is a tricky one, a puzzle within a puzzle that only you can solve. But by this stage in the game, the puzzle has been solved, and soon enough its answer will be revealed. I too, am playing this game, plagued by uncertainty and doubt, as it does many others-waiting, hoping. April 1st cannot come soon enough, the nights are long and the days unbearable. We see happy classmates knowing where they will attend college, most of them applied to public universities content with their choice-nevertheless they have the satisfaction of knowing they were accepted-they were chosen. I know whatever answer this game holds for me, I will accept it, because I know in my heart that for the past four years, as have most of us, I've been working my ass off and know full well that there is not one thing in the world I could have done differently. The minutes are ticking for that life changing April morning, but Nothing Matters Anymore.</p>

<p>yeah, itz an helpless situation where u cant do anything abt it... :eek:</p>

<p>except maybe save the president's life or something and get awarded your country's highest honour suddenly..... :D</p>

<p>I'm confused, is it just Harvard that is done with apps (and where has it said that it's done in the first place?) or is it every Ivy?</p>

<p>unless you're waitlisted =D</p>

<p>I think it's a tad bit extreme to say that lives will be forever changed. Well, I might get into Harvard or not and, if this should happen, I might go there or not. But my life is my life, either with Harvard or another place - my future depends on myself and not on some red-eyed, bored admissions committee. I think there is an implication for many people that you are going to be a loser in the big game if you don't get into Harvard....NOT.</p>
