<p>Yea but how much more different is it to think you have an acceptance in the bag from a school like Carnegie Mellon, Notre Dame or Duke than an ivy. I mean this admission game is as fickle as it can get but it doesn’t mean you can’t hope for the best. </p>
<p>Hahaha I think that’s my problem, I’m too optimistic.</p>
<p>I’d rather not get my hopes up. Shattered dreams…ain’t nobody got time for that. xD </p>
<p>Like, I don’t even tell people irl what my dream school is.
“What school are you going to?”
“Oh, I’m going to Hahvahd. <em>smirk</em>”
…
<em>gets rejected</em>
How awkward.</p>
<p>Well there is being optimistic (I don’t know what the future holds for me but I’m hoping for Harvard) and then there’s being straight-up arrogant (I’m going to Harvard and I have my first semester books on hold at the bookstore) lol</p>
<p>I’m guessing they mean University of San Francisco California or something… D: (Google can only help for so much). I would post here, but I’m only really waiting on one decision soooooo nahhhh.</p>
