Just go to a state school like a normal person.
- maybeiambatman 7y agoWhat an absurdly unhelpful comment. There's nothing abnormal about you Ryan. I hope you find something interesting and educational to do. I'm excited to see where you end up.
- craftinator 7y ago"There's nothing abnormal about you Ryan". What a horrible thing to say to someone! That is equivalent to saying "You are not unique in any way Ryan".
- glitchc 7y agoNothing unhelpful about the comment. There are some excellent state schools: Georgia Tech, Penn State, UMass, Virginia Tech, just to name a few. The education is top-notch, the rest is indeed what you make of it.
- WaxProlix 7y agoI actually sort of agree; it comes out that he did, in fact, get in to a number of schools and he concedes that even if he'd gotten into one of his desired schools he would still have written something like this. It might make sense to do this kind of thing as a personal reflection or inducement to growth, but the article itself makes the author seem mostly self-aggrandizing and smug. But I was a real shit -- probably worse, honestly -- at 18, so who am I to judge the form that this reflection takes?
- akhilcacharya 7y agoYeah, a part of me agrees because I did it and never intended to go to an elite school (I was never good enough!) but at the same time it's still a more constructive way of handling rejection than I did so I can't really complain.
