Why are so many people angered when they dont get into top schools?

<p>Ok so sorry if I come off as being completely conceited or snobbish, which I probably will, but WHY??</p>

<p>So many kids are getting rejected from top schools (stanford, georgetown, Ivy league X, etc.) and they are in histerics about it. Seriously. Im talking sub 700 satii, less than 3.7 gpa 3 aps and 2100 superscores. Throw in maybe one activity and something like national honor society. GROW UP. Im not even kidding. Many kids that have been working till 2 am for the past 4 years are getting rejected while you go off to some party instead of studying. You expect to get into a top 10 college, really???</p>

<p>Do you not see that the 25th percentile is 100 points above you for sat's and that taking precalc senior year is not "most demanding"?? </p>

<p>I have no problem with wanting to succeed but please, keep it real.</p>

<p>//end rant.</p>

<p>They’re ignorant or feel entitled.</p>
