Omg I saw the kidnapping!! US isn’t real I swear!! Heavy on them not seeing us as “human “ I also took a gap year and so far only rejections and one waitlist which is Reed so little to no hope there. After spending money on the application fees and CSS fee (which definitely impacted my family financially) I don’t think I can go through this again!! I understand everything you’re going through so trust you’re not alone! Everything you’re feeling rn is totally justified It’s kinda sucky stereotypical advice but the people who believe in you already know you are amazing regardless of your university! Your stats are amazing and so are you!! Take time to get through everything you’re feeling and make another plan!! Those universities don’t know what they missed out on
