For the past months on top of the never ending assessments, a new thing was introduced. Applications. Not any random application, it was 'THE APPLICATION'. Today, many would view it as the application that all high school has prepared you for. Then it seems like the whole world boils down to that one application.
I understand there is a process of choosing top tier students, everyone would also aspire to be one of these students. Then it comes to the question, are we simply pushing ourselves beyond the limits to simply reach the grades required of us. As students we stress out, drop dead like flies solely to achieve to that top 10% of the class.
Moving away from this idea, the supplements themselves are frustrating to complete. I can give leeway to submitting a personal statement in their different formats and what not. The additional supplements are draining. Only having a few I have nothing to complain about, but I feel the emotions of stress as some friends go on essay marathons for their colleges.
Lastly on an other note, we all have to keep it in perspective. Applications are not life and death. We will go some place, somewhere, sometime. The suspense continues to drive many insane for others seeing the package in the mail or the email is a sigh of relief.
