"When I was a rector, I used to give this piece of advice to all freshmen. Father Malloy said it: 'Don't confuse your self-worth with your GPA.' You are not a failure if you do or do not go on to Harvard Medical School. Don't let others' standards define you. You must develop your own standards to determine what kind of human being you want to be. Ultimately, you are the only one whose standards you must satisfy."
