Nobody really reads these, so I guess I can speak freely.
Expain this to me: how do you get amazing grades, make the university's dean's list, but still be not good enough for a college of pharmacy? I mean, seriously, what more can I do? Am I not tall enough or something stupid like that?
So, every year I drive myself to the breaking point, all nighters and working friday nights. Not to mention another ten grand in debt. For what? Some high and mighty ******** who says, without any remorse or hesitation, nope, not good enough. Be sure to pay us again next year so we can shoot you down again.
Do I need to mention that I despise these people? That should be obvious. A fatalistic person would say that this is a sign to redirect my future. The thought has occurred to me, but I don't think its a good idea to change course everytime an obstacle pops up. I've been there, done that, and it didn't work very well. That's how a technologist ends up working in a call center.
Incidentally, to all those pyromaniacs and arsenists who might read this, any teletech, nextel, or sprint establishment should be dealt with in your own unique way.
But I digress. I guess the moral is, keep your options open; broaden your possibilities. Then at least you have a better chance of grabbing something good out of the lot, as opposed to blowing a fortune on a single application that was decided before you sent it in that it was going to be rejected.
