Hi Beowulf. I understand that it's surely stressful not to know if you'll can go to the college that you like, because of money. Hope that you'll can go. But about the fact that someone will be accepted with less efforts, I suggest you to really try not to let this upset you too much. It's surely annoying...but if you obtain your success, this is the important thing, not of and how other people obtain it. In my opinion. You have however your success, and you'll have more satisfaction than those who struggled less. So, try not to let this upset you
I really really hope that you are taken. Let us know!
