<p>My point is that we spend lots of time obsessing about Admissions Committees’ role as gatekeepers and adjudicators of who is and is not worthy. But from their standpoint, that’s a pretty minor aspect of their job, and not a part they particularly like.</p>
<p>And I agree with jessiehl 100%. Resentment towards classmates hurts and undermines them, and really hurts and undermines the resenters, too. Much better to concentrate on appreciating the opportunities you have, and planning how to exploit them, than to stew over why Peggy got into XYZU and I didn’t.</p>
