[quote=Anonymous]Your "middling" SATs put you in the what, 90% percentile? Give yourself a break. Yes, the preparation and exposure gained from elite prep and high-end public schools probably gave some of your classmates an edge but plently of kids from "rural" high school and elsewhere negate that with hard work and determination... over time. Gladwell and others might have advised you to be big fish in a small pond with respect to your college choice, but what's done is done. You've seen the mythology of the Ivy world and the reality of it (yes... some kinds are super bright, super ambitious and driven... some will be amazing successful, etc.) Take that exposure you've gained and translate it into some confidence and focus for yourself. If you got through those rough seas, other stuff in life will seem like a piece of cake. [/quote]
