<p>This is one of the funniest, most delusional topics I've ever read on any message board. </p>
<p>Getting rejected from one of the most selective universities in the world is equatable to the inner hell that war veterans suffer for their entire lives, huh? </p>
<p>Anyone who seriously feels this way has led an extremely sheltered, isolated experience and has never confronted serious tragedy in their lives. </p>
<p>I'm going to assume that most of you aren't dirt-poor Chinese international students who study like crazy for 18 years so that they can make it to an American university to provide for their families and avoiding a low-paying, back-breaking nightmarish job for the next 50 years of their life. </p>
<p>Rather, you're upper middle class, well educated, well sheltered domestic applicants (I was one last year) who got accepted into plenty of other quality universities. </p>
<p>Crying over rejection and actually making posts about it on a message board reminds me of the time I broke down in tears over losing three action figures at the ripe old age of four.</p>
<p>Grow up.</p>
