<p>Gracie- it is all part of the learning and maturation process, these stages of grief/regret/whatever people feel... It's just not right to ask someone to put so much of themselves into an application, have it been for nothing and then just say "Grow Up"... everyone has different things they value differently in their lives, and what might be trivial for some people could be important for others. I respect the fact that you attend CalTech, but please be more positive in the future in regards to the responses of all these students (myself one of them) who didn't make it to somewhere they truly had their hearts set on.</p>
<p>We'll all get over this, just some faster than others- and that's okay :) </p>
