<p>I understand that it's sad to be rejected...but there are too many people in the world who don't have access to running water, shelter, or adequate food, and who every day are threatened by war. There are far more people who never see the inside of a school building of any kind. Every one of us in this thread has the priveledge of attending college - so what if it's not MIT? You can get a good education anywhere; it's all what you make of it. Life goes on.</p>
