Stanford

The deed is finally done. My Stanford application has been submitted, signalling a close to a year of constant preparation and a month of intense essay revision. Yet strangely, the attendant emotions were neutered; to be sure, I felt a sense of relief and happiness, but nothing close to the rapturous euphoria one would expect. Anti-climatic, to say the least but probably understandable, given my growing pessimism about my admission chances.
