So this week, you found out you were either done with the process and celebrated, or that you have a few more weeks to go and then four more months of agony. If you were accepted into a college you want to go to, you have both my congratulations and my envy. If you still have to go through the process, you are with me on the long haul. This week, I'll share with you two articles I found on The New York Times: one fascinating, the other hopefully reassuring. Maybe they will put you at ease with this arduous process.
Boola Boola, Boola Boola: Yale Says Yes, 4 Times
So maybe you applied to Yale early. You got in, you didn't get in, or you were deferred admission. Here's a story that will either induce scorn or leave you smiling a little (but only just a little). It's a story of quadruplets, who were all accepted into the prestigous Ivy League institution and through Single Early Action too. And they're still not sure if they want to attend. How's that for interesting? The title, by the way, comes from the fight song of Yale's football teams (perhaps you've seen Mr. Burns on "The Simpsons" singing it).
Here's an old op-ed by David Brooks from 2004. The college application process has changed much since then, but the message still applies. Take the article as comfort food. If this whole getting into college or getting rejected business is stressing you out, you'll need someone to tell you that none of it matters. In four years, you'll forget about all the places you didn't get into, just as now, you've probably forgotten the whole deal about getting into a Specialized High School. You'll realize, who cares? Mentioning your SAT scores in ten years will be just as socially distasteful as discussing your SHSAT score now.
Hopefully, these articles have given you some comfort amid this grueling process. There's no question you'll get into college, and then, many years later, you'll ask yourself what you got out of worrying about it. If you make the most out of your life now and in the future, it won't matter where you go.

You may have about this bright young designer Alexander McQueen, the title British Designer of the Year won knowledge four times 1996-2003, and you can hear about his innovative head scarf. Even if I use his tactics of shock and controversial unconventional in its parades and luxury, as the faithful catch-all, especially in this busy dead agrees true. I have no idea why the series are calledHigh end replica handbags believers. It might be of high quality so that the bag is tolerable to the seasons and years to come, or it could be a real confidence in the fashion and personality. Anyway, I love this bag Alexander McQueen very much.
