…georgetown top 10 applied for ucla epstein program, was waitlisted applied for BU public interest program, was rejected

…though, I would probably be sitting on the Harvard waitlist (if I’m lucky) until August, and it just wasn’t worth putting my life on hold. Best of luck to all; you will get through this.
