<p>Perhaps this doesn’t sit with me well because I’m a senior who has just finished applying to college - and I know that a lot of my personal life was shared with college counselors through essays and guidance counselor recommendation letters - I’d hate to think that an entire office of people is laughing at me because I was “naive” enough to believe that a 2000 SAT and 3.8 gave me a decent shot at most schools bar the Ivy League. Hrumph. </p>
