Agree with @BKSquared! You are not defined by tonight’s outcome. You are smart, witty and have enough perserverence anf fortitude to thrive wherever you land.
@Happy4u Thanks. I may be smart, witty, and have perseverance, but it looks like all I’m missing is a small loan of a million dollars.
^Apparently you need to add a keen sense of humor, which IMHO will take you a very long way on its own merit.
I’m biting my nails and there are still a couple of Ivy days left for our turn.
Good luck @HKimPOSSIBLE
Just blasting to ABBA Hits at the moment.
(Specifically, “The Winner Takes it All”; kind of my favorite song)
Hope your train finds a station today HKim
Now if we could just pipe “Take A Chance On Me” into a few admissions offices…
“I Have a Dream” works well for today I think.
@books4life Thanks
@aquapt Haha hopefully.

“26 percent from lower income backgrounds” - no words of no-income backgrounds. Breathes in heavily
@Otterma They’re all cycling through.
Please tell me you didn’t mention ABBA on your applications? If so DACA was not the issue.
We are pulling for you!!!
@Nocreativity1 Told Princeton one of my favorite songs is “Thank you For the Music” for how important being involved in music for me. Twas a short take question in the Common App.
Edit: For my Stanford short take, I did a subtle diss on music many of my peers listen to…" poop diddy scoop, scoop diddy whoop" - probably was a bad decision on my part idk.
Who doesn’t like ABBA?
@pittsburghscribe my admissions officers
Alright you caught me I secretly listen to “Dancing Queen” but I digress.
And don’t second guess your decisions. You were honest and true to yourself. It will work out!!!
I have my fingers crossed for you. I am so hoping for good news for you tonight.
Thanks, everyone!
Oh my god, I feel like I’m going to get a heart attack - 15 minutes.
Breathe HKim, just breathe. Thinking of you, sending good vibes.
