I am honestly lost as to what more I can do. I've spent 2 years at CC working towards the dream of a T25 acceptance, only for it to get crushed. I've done as much as I am capable of doing. I've started multiple clubs, won multiple awards from my CC, won multiple STEM awards, community service, high GPA, made amazing friends, and more.
I know that these colleges are super competitive to get into, and that they don't owe me anything, but still.
Thankfully I have been accepted into my safety, which I am grateful for to be in that position, but I thought my hard-work would pay itself off more.
Only 5 more colleges to go.
