There's not one person who's receiving their admissions letters in the following two weeks who hasn't expressed some sort of self-doubt to me or on their blog. It's going to be a rough time.

Let me just say that whether or not any of you get accepted, you will look no different in my eyes than before. You're all unique, intelligent, compassionate, and hard-working people, and you all deserve to go to whatever college you want to, whether or not some admissions committee makes says so based on some numbers and a cheesy essay.
