On EU membership, Spain would have blocked Scotland's application to join the EU, or at least tried as much as they possibly could. It's possible that Scotland could have joined the EU by now, but pretty unlikely.On currency, at the time if the 2014 indy ref, the SNP had no clear position on what currency to use. Around 2005, they favoured the Euro, in fact Salmond went as far as to give a speech claiming that the biggest factor holding Scotland back was the pound sterling. Now I have a sneaking liking for him, but that was a pretty low thing to say for party political reasons. But as the Euro crisis rolled on, the SNP understandably cooled on the Euro being the ideal currency for Scotland. That left them with proposing, rather reluctantly, to share sterling with the rUK. But of course the rUK would tell Scotland that while they were free to use sterling, the interest rates would be set without reference to Scotland's needs. The SNP blustered and whined about unfairness whenever the UK government pointed this out. For some reason, the obvious third alternative, a separate Scottish pound, was scarcely ever mentioned by the SNP. But that would be expensive to set up, and would require substantial reserves to back it, and would require working out Scotland's share of the UK's nation's debt, especially as RBS was the biggest casualty of the banking crisis, and was bailed out by the UK taxpayer to the tune of many billions of pounds.Finally, on economic health, the SNP now agree that their forecasts relief excessively on oil and gas revenues. With the price of oil down substantially over the last 4 years, their economic fortunes would have waned. But having said that, ironically brexit may give Scotland a slightly better economic future, if it goes badly for the UK, an independent Scotland might pick up some companies relocating. Edinburgh in particular might benefit.So overall, Scotland would be tied to sterling without any control over it, not yet a member of the EU, and would be having to implement their own Scottish form of austerity to make the books balance. Worse still, they'd have lost their biggest get out of jail free card: it's all the fault of Westminster and perfidious Albion!

Not knowing your credentials, I will assume you were at or below their admission standards: keep in mind the very, VERY low admission rate for these schools and also keep in mind that they have different requirements from year to year for special admission cases: representation for foreign students, athletes, legacies, ethnic groups etc. that may cut off otherwise well qualified candidates. Columbia’s admission rate was 6%…Cornell’s was 13% (keep in mind Cornell includes some state schools). That means 87–94% of the HIGHLY QUALIFIED candidates who applied were rejected.What were your SATs? your GPA? APs? what were your extracurricular activities? did your credentials meet or exceed the admissions standards for the schools? Were you realistic in your applications?NOW, I hope you had enough common sense to realize that even qualified applicants get rejected and you also applied to some of the MANY high quality schools that are equal to or just below the academic level of the Ivies. Google: Little Ivies, Patriot League, Public Ivies, Southern Ivies etc. for a listing of some truly excellent schools that can give you a comparable education. I would say any school listed in the top 50–70 of US News and World Report National Universities and top 40 of National Liberal Arts colleges will give you some excellent options.There are many reasons why you got rejected by all 8. It does not make you any less of a good candidate for a top school. I know the Ivies have an amazing reputation, but there are some 4,000 colleges and universities in the US, so looking at the top 200–300 schools still keeps you in the elite company of the best schools. Keep in mind that the best non-ivy schools are just as challenging to get into, i.e. acceptance rates for Stanford-4.8%, U of Chicago and MIT-7.9%, Amherst-14%, Georgetown-16%.Apply to some good schools whose admission standards you exceed. Be realistic in your approach to this process. There are many happy, successful people in this world who did not go to an Ivy League School.Take note of this info I got off the net (and note only 3 of the schools listed are Ivy League):15 COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY ALMA MATERS OF TOP-PAID AMERICAN CEOSHere is a list of 15 universities and colleges that serve as alma maters to 18 of the highest-paid American CEOs.-Lists current/ recent CEOs of American companies who completed their bachelor’s degree at an American institution of higher education.-CEO candidates listed here appeared in the top 20 of one of the “top CEOs/ execs” lists, including AFL-CIO, Equilar/ NY Times, and http://FindTheCompany.com- Schools are listed in reverse order based on the 2013 compensation of a top-paid CEO who graduated from a bachelor’s program there, starting.
