[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully you’ve been tempering expectations all along; if not, start now. All of the schools have a lot of really good applicants for not very many seats. Many times, who gets in is a function of their attempts to balance a class. They can think of it like an orchestra— you can be a truly fantastic violin player but that doesn’t matter if what they need is a cello. So much of it is just luck of the draw and of who else happens to be applying. It’s not a condemnation of any particular student. And, if you do get in, don’t think that this makes you better than someone who didn’t get in because again, much of it is luck. [/quote] Thanks, PP, excellent analogy.[/quote]
