” and you WILL find the right match.”
Sorry, let me clarify this line. True, you may have your heart set on one school. And for no fault of your own, that school may not be willing to take you.
But there is always a plan B. It may not have the exact profile you had in mind, but there is always another school that is within 90% of what you had hoped for.
And the last 10% is for you to strive for. If no other reason, than to rub the loss into the face of the school that turned you down.
I have had the pleasure of doing this a few times, and let me tell you, it feels 10 x as good as the hurt I felt when I was rejected.
Success is the best revenge. And its not even counted as nekomah!
