un jour le bonheur vous trahit

I've been rejected by Harvard and Columbia; I'll hear back from Stanford tomorrow afternoon but I'm not hopeful at all.

Edit: I've also been rejected by Brown. Ah well.

Another edit: Make that four rejections; Stanford rejected me, too.

So much for trying not to disappoint my family. But I really shouldn't be complaining as I do have some nice choices as is. Really, there are many many many worse things that could be going on, and there's no point in wasting my time over things that I can't control anymore. I should stop making such a fuss about this.

Last edit: So overall, I'm deciding amongst Wellesley, USC and Scripps.

P.S. Sophia, thanks for the Victoria Holt novel; I could really use it. Hopefully I'll start it this weekend.

I'm so sorry to hear that honey. You totally deserved to get into Harvard and the like. But I'm sure that wherever you go you will do fantastically well and enjoy yourself.
Hang in there and chin up! :-)

P.S Did you apply to Cornell?

Alas, I didn't. My cousin and I made an unofficial agreement to apply to different universities to avoid rivalry. As she's a New York resident, she decided to apply as the tuition is lower for in-state students. She was waitlisted at Cornell.

Thanks! I'm not too disappointed now after overreacting earlier; I'll probably end up going to Univeristy of Southern California where they're offering me a very nice scholarship. I plan on going to grad school with the tuition I'm saving, so I have another shot at going to another university in the farther future :)
