<p>To all of you who got bad news today, </p>
<p>I was in your position last year when I got wait-listed from my favorite school. I was absolutely devastated. From the time that I visited the campus to the time I got my letter, I had managed to convince myself that this was THE place for me. Although I got into some other places, nothing else mattered at the time.</p>
<p>After I cooled off from that, I began to think sensibly and decided to go to a private school in my area. I could NOT be happier. You're probably thinking, well, maybe she didn't love that school like I did. I did, haha I wanted to go there so badly. But here, in my second year of high school at this private school, I can honestly say I am glad I ended up at home. </p>

<p>I checked the forum today because its march 10th and my heart sunk a bit when I thought about how all of you are feeling at the moment. </p>
<p>to those of you accepted: CONGRATULATIONS!</p>
<p>to everyone else: you'll be fine, this may seem like a huge deal now, but things work out for a reason, especially with this. This doesn't make you an inadequate student or kid.</p>
