One piece of advice for accepted students: While life experiences, backgrounds, and interests may vary across your peers, the common-thread is that everyone must overcome personal challenges in order to succeed. Comparison is truly the thief of joy; instead, I encourage you to pursue your own interests and search for common ground.
