@damonfromchi said:
"I feel like people only apply to all these schools to boost their ego/narcissism, like why waste all that money applying to every school? For likes on Twitter?"
@KiddEnT said:
"Congratulations. I've never understood the significance of applying to that many schools.. I had my top choices and was set."
@JackieDaModel said:
"Why is everyone so pressed that this girl took the time to explore every possible opportunity in a world where people receive little to no success without a fight due to systemic issues. She applied to all in hopes to get in one, don’t worry HOW she did it, worry about yourselves."
