:::::::::tapping Wendy on shoulder:::::::::::: excuse me, but what is this "I never really thought that any of these schools would give me a second look anyway" comment about?
My friend, if I had half the amount of intelligence and strength of character that you do, I'd be thrilled with myself. I know that is nervousness talking, so you're forgiven.....lol.
You are such a talented person - it is THEIR loss. Like SundaysChild said, when one door closes, another one opens. You will have your chance - this I believe. And it will be even better.
I have such faith in you, Wendy. Please believe in yourself.
