No oos elite private gave me need based aid. I’m so grateful to have been selected as a Woodruff Scholar, but I can’t help but think about what doors Yale would’ve opened for me. I’m thinking of reapplying to Yale, Brown, etc. for my masters if I go the business route, or my MD if I go medicine.

Can someone help me feel better about my decision? If you choose to answer this, thanks, I really need it lmao😭. I still can’t believe I turned down a once in a lifetime opportunity!?

Edit: after further introspection and reading of comments, the once in a lifetime opportunity is clearly the Woodruff Scholarship. We have got to stop giving false impressions to our children about ivy leagues being the only key to success. The search for prestige is one hell of a drug.
