Additional Information:
haha results were disappointing albeit expected from the nature of my application. it does make my heart turn a little to see the people i grew alongside with since a kid all go to successful schools and me being left behind (not that the schools i got into aren't good, but are objectively on a lesser level) and the only person i can blame is myself
