Dear Students:
Thank you so much for sharing the news you're receiving from schools—I love hearing from you! Just remember that school results are NOT a reflection of your worth as a human being and if you don’t get into a particular school, please don't take it personally because it has no reflection on your hard work or creativity.

Having said that, if you DO get into a school you're really excited about, then feel free to take it personally and know that it is a reflection of all your hard work and creativity.

Basically pick which ones to take personally. Y'know, like in life.
