Your college acceptance or rejection is not - I repeat, not - a judgment on who you are as a person. In today's New York Times, Frank Bruni pretty much says everything I tried to say yesterday to students who were not accepted into their "dream" school, only he says it so much better. "Your diploma is, or should be, the least of what defines you," he states, and "You're diploma will have infinitely less relevance to your fulfillment than so much else." Amen.
Even if you are not a senior in the midst of acceptances, rejections, and wait lists, this is a very good article to read. Students and parents: please take a few minutes and listen to what he has to say.
