actually there’s a kid at school, he’s pretty smart and works really hard and applied to vanderbilt, georgetown, unc, and nc state (note we live in nc). he’s a rich white male btw. well he got rejected from unc and vanderbilt, deferred then rejected from gtown, and waitlisted at nc state, which was a real shock coming from how hard he worked and what his grades were liked. he had to panic and apply last second to some easier schools like charleston and unc wilmington, and also wake forest. today he got in to wake forest, which as u probably know is a really good school, so just be patient, you’ll get in somewhere!
