This is a fantastic "inside view" of an actual admissions committee meeting at Amherst College. I would hope that any senior feeling low about not getting into a school would feel better by listening to this clip. It truly demonstrates that not getting into college isn't anything that you should take personally or lose sleep asking, "why?" Most of the time, there is no "because." It's a process that's neither fair nor objective most of the time. And it's completely beyond your control. What is in your control? For juniors: choosing where to apply. For seniors: choosing which school is lucky enough to receive your deposit on May 1.
