To those who didn’t receive the news they wanted, I know it must be tough. The college admissions process is so unpredictable. Sometimes I wonder how I was accepted when some of my peers were rejected. This rejection is not a reflection of who you are, it just means you were not able to convey how awesome you are in your application. I KNOW you will get into an amazing college and you will have the time of your life!</p>
