<p>I know you've waited several, hectic months to receive a decision notification from the Admissions Committee wanting to learn where you will end up at the end of high school graduation. The decision has come and your not happy with what you have read.
For reassurance, do not feel depressed that Columbia accepted others and not you. Wherever you end up after graduation, it was for the best, not the worst. God has a great plan for everyone, it is just your job to help make his plan work and live up to it with no regrets. So please cheer up, not everyone goes to Columbia let alone Ivy League schools. In my opinion, I believe you should focus on state schools or local colleges, do very, very well and apply to the most prestigious grad, law, or med schools in the nation because post college schools are the determining factor on how successful you may be in your career. Again cheer up, wherever you end up was surely for the best.</p>
<p>Now, here is some incentive for those waitlisted: write a very persuasive letter/essay to Columbia stating why you still genuinley want to attend there institution; re-emphasize the positive impact you would have as an addition to the student population; and reiterate your interests, passions, and the beautiful aspects of what makes Columbia right for you. If the admissions committee cannot find a spot for you later on, once again wherever you end up after graduating high school was surely for the best. God has a great plan for everyone.
In closing, I wish everyone the best in their future endeavors.</p>
