I've been spending way too much time on sites like this the last several months.
Once in a while someone will say something like, "Don't worry about it too much, business school isn't the end-all and be-all. You shouldn't let it define you, I have a great job and if I don't get in anywhere it's not that big of a deal." Which is all warm and fuzzy and great, but isn't that like telling someone who wants to compete in the Olympics, "Hey it's okay if you don't qualify for the Olympics. You don't need the Olympics to validate your discus-throwing skills. You can always go in your backyard and play with a frisbee and know that you're really good at it."
I mean, I didn't spend the last seven months of my life slaving over every little piece of my applications for something that would "be nice to get, but not necessary." At this point I feel like investing so much time in this process has made it so I HAVE to get in or the world will in fact end. Where I am accepted will in fact dictate my future. It will define me. If I don't get accepted somewhere, I might just disappear. My roommates will come home and find my clothes and shoes on the couch, with a stack of open mail on top of them, right where I was sitting before I completely stopped existing.
Anybody else feel like this? This is passion baby, you ad-coms listening? I really want this!!
