What if I had worked a little harder throughout all four years of high school? Then I would have made it into the top 20% of my graduating class. As of now, I'm in the top 26%. It's frustrating knowing that I'm only one percentage point away from being in the top quarter.
I also wonder what life would be like if I were a girl, or if I were born at an earlier time period.
True, we can get into better colleges with higher percentage points. But we will just need to move on and work harder next time, and a little more determined in the future. Same goes to you, the OP
