To all those who are applying

<p>After seeing a lot of people depressed by the comments they get from other people, I feel obliged to say the following...</p>

<p>First of all, Don't worry if people here tell you that you don't have a chance at a school. Admission processes are not that well-defined, it is basically trial and error. If you let their comments degrade and/or depress you and you don't apply, there will be no trial, error, OR success. Ignore them, and apply. That is the only way you will know.</p>

<p>Second, people here are only giving you their opinion. So take it that way. It is not set in stone, and may not even be accurate! If you want real advice, go to someone qualified to give it, like your counselor or teacher.</p>

<p>Third, there are some people here who come here only to flaunt their high scores. Don't let them get you down. If you do, you are only helping them succeed in their attempts to do so.</p>

<p>Fourth, I can't stress this enough, JUST APPLY! Do it and don't ever look back. Application processes are random, unpredictable, and universities want to keep it that way.</p>

<p>Lastly, Thank you for reading this, and I hope it helped you in one way or another. I offer you my most profound wishes for success in your academic future. </p>
