Another time, another year, another admissions committee.
Every time I feel hopeless over the last few days, I’ve been saying this story to myself:
Warren Buffet applied for his MBA at Harvard, and he was interviewed. But the interviewer and the university quickly dismissed him.
They said he was "good, but not stellar".
Not Stellar?
This must’ve been one decision Harvard would have regretted for years, nay, decades!
Because this not stellar candidate became the first self-made Billionaire.
Sometimes, they can’t see beyond what they know.
Irrespective of the decision, I think every single person who has articulated their short and long term goals has great potential. Do not let social/eduational validation stop you! Now is not a time to lose hope, if anything, the next phase becomes a time for demonstration!

I hope this helps someone on the group dealing with uncertainty, as I have been.
