As many of you are nearing the end of the application season and entering a period of waiting -- to be followed by a flurry of acceptances and rejections and often another long period of waiting -- I wanted to wish each and every one of you the best of luck. I hope your plans and dreams for furthering your education will be fulfilled. While wishing that our applications pay off, I hope we all can also keep in mind that there are many kinds of success and lots of interesting paths in life, many of which we haven't discovered yet. Best wishes!
