<p>To all who were accepted, congrats and I’ll see you in Boston! To those who were deferred, consider it a gift and an opportunity to show why you should be accepted. To those who were denied, you still have accomplished amazing things, and, as my grandmother always liked to say, “there’s a pot for every cover, but its your job to find the cover in the cabinet.”</p>

I applied for music composition & technology, and had to submit a portfolio along with my application. I felt as though it was strong, but maybe the SATs are what got me deferred. This was my top school too… Oh well. We’ll see what happens in March! c:
