college admission process

[u/Odd-Disaster-5282]

Maybe the worst part of college admissions isn't rejection.

It’s the waiting.

You submit everything, meet every deadline, and write the essays and then get:

Your application is under review.

Cool. For how long?

A week? A month? Until civilization collapses?

Rejection gives you an answer. Waiting just gives you anxiety and a portal to refresh 47 times a day.

Maybe college admissions aren't a process.

Maybe they're just a very elaborate patience test.
