I promised myself that a rejection from Vanderbilt would not break me. I expected a spot on the wait list, but it was still frustrating to receive. I know that this is a fantastic way to test my patience- something I vowed to work on this year. However, it also feels like a slap in the face. Why interview me only to put me in this position? Did I blow the interview? What am I missing as an applicant? These are questions I know better than to ask, but will continue to wonder. All I can do now is focus on my hail-mary interview for Northeastern coming on Friday-- truly a shock, because I messed up in my application to their school. Anyway, if that doesn't work out, hope for an acceptance from Quinnipiac. Quinnipiac is in gorgeous Connecticut, very near to Yale. I know that it is competitive, but so am I. Maybe starting with a BSN won't be such a bad thing. Taking my time would probably be the best thing for me. If Quinnipiac rejects me, than I will know for sure that time is what the doctor ordered. I will make the best of my time, studying for the GRE, accruing volunteer experience, and working out with my gorgeous, intelligent, and sweet boyfriend. It could be worse, right :)
