To rope or not to rope

[Anonymous No.15471394]

I’m so ashamed of the school I have to go to in the fall.
I tried so hard and worked my ass off, and I couldn’t even make it into a top 20 university.
Meanwhile my retard classmates are getting into UPenn, Duke, MIT, Caltech, Princeton…
What the fuck do I do? I can’t live my life like this. How did it go so wrong??

The school you go to doesn't matter as much, what matters more are your publications and the money you'll make in the future. That determines your reputation and lifestyle ease as an adult

>The school you go to doesn't matter as much
i feel like this is only true for schools like HYPSM, Duke, Berkeley, JHU, Caltech, Penn, and if you go anywhere else people will just subtly assume you're retarded.

Also the more painful thought is that hundreds of AOs looked at my application, and thought I was so unlikely to succeed in life that I wasn't worth the trouble of admitting me.

that's not necessarily the reason. don't beat yourself up over speculation. just accept the situation as it stands and make the most of it by pursuing what interests you, or if you don't quite know that, try out different things.

You could have had a little bit of nigger in you and the one drop rule is still culturally relevant, I am like 6% spanish (white hispanic) but so fucking white. I got into UCI with a 3.7GPA and a couple clubs I did nothing in.

[Anonymous No.15471587]

OP what you have to realize is that nowadays literally the entire world is applying to every good US school. They’re faking tests to get in too, they literally have no moral qualms about doing so either, they think you’re a sucker if you wasted your time to get in honestly. You know in the early 90s that even Harvard has something like a 20% acceptance rate? Shit I went to school in the mid ‘00s when my school had a 28% acceptance rate and now it’s sub 20%. Sorry OP, you got screwed by a combo of wrong time wrong place and also I’m not sure why politicians aren’t putting some restrictions on foreigners so US families can get ahead, but there’s no stopping it. US is basically a place where the government and ngos try to get you in just so they can exploit you to support the people coming kn behind you. Total Ponzi scheme

bro you are so much luckier than me.
the best uni in my country is only top ~550th in the world and i dont even live in a shithole like serbia or moldova.
i bet your uni is instantly in the top 300 just because its american
atleast 6 years of uni are free here

youll still be able to apply and get into jobs. people in your country will consider your uni impressive even if it isn't. look at SK, for example--seoul university is pretty shit when compared against other world unis, but getting a SKY degree = set for life in korea

If you cared so much about getting into a top school then you have psychological pathologies around your attitude towards prestige/social signalling and even if you got into a top college those pathologies would follow you and you would still suffer. Focus on finding what you genuinely like since I assume you spent most of your high school doing things mostly for status and to get into a good college.

As for other people you just gotta deal with it. Retards getting in over you, psychopaths getting in over you...just fuck it all. When you get older your social circle and environment will change so much that your perspective will simply not have that much room for high school bullshit. So the pain doesn't go away but it fades with time in the sense that you get annoyed you spent so much energy on it.

In the end it's your personal capability that matters the most. No institution can give or take that away from you.

You got into a fine university, 2 thirds of the country doesn't even go to college. Sometimes stuff just randomly screws you over, accept failure and just be happy when you get a nice 6 figure job (you probably will) because on your deathbed school is hardly going to be what you think about
