<p>I got into a top 30 school and there’s no way that I’m going. I’ve dreamed about going to a top-10 school since I was a kid and even though I got rejected from the ones I wanted to go to, I won’t have any ‘what-ifs’. I know where I stand in the grand scheme of things and I honestly couldn’t be more proud. Even if I wind up going to my state uni (the lowest ranked of all my acceptances), I can walk away from all of this knowing that I did wind up with a great acceptance. Always try, otherwise you’ll never know. </p>
