I am so sick and tired of being pushed around, and having people determine my future.

Frankly, I doubt anyone outside the small sphere of US college applicants will
ever understand the degree of competition to enter the top US unis, and the amount of work we put into applying, for that matter. Do you think a simple "I'm sure they have their reasons for doing so" justifies the decision? This is SO MUCH MORE than just filling in an application form and waiting for the result. I really loathe people who take my efforts in applying and my achievement for granted.

Look at your system! No wonder everyone is deserting you. You reward mediocrity; you expect conformity to your rules and you heap scorn on those who are different, yet unique in their own way. My cousin once told me that you are a sick and mutated bunch. I could not understand her then but I think I finally get it now.

You really are sick, twisted and mutated.
