Disclaimer: Clearly I am not RIB or affiliated with Fox so no suing. I also don't own the song or movie I got the song from.
I didn't get in.
That sentence wound in an infinite loop through Kurt Hummel's brain. He didn't get into NYADA.
How had this happened? He did amazing in his audition. Carmen Tibideaux herself said that Hugh Jackman would've been as impressed as she was.
How had Rachel made it in when she'd choked twice at her audition and practically stalked Madam Tibideaux?
It made absolutely no sense.

Kurt wandered through the halls to the auditorium. He needed to work through his anger and sadness in the only way he knew how, song. Kurt stood in the center and imagined that it was a Broadway stage. Thousands of people were there to see him, and not Rachel. He would be the star for a change.
Kurt readied himself, and set up music. He had chosen the song "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from the movie Burlesque. He'd watched the movie the night before and it had resonated in him. It felt right for him.
Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there's just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I'll get up again
Don't count me out just yet
He wasn't down for the count. He may have stumbled a little but he'd make it to New York and he'd get there through his own merit.
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me
Through all the hell he'd been given for the last four years, he'd stayed strong. He may have been the breaking point but he got right back up.
They can say that
I won't stay around
But I'm gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me
You don't know me
You don't know who I am
Don't count me out so fast
He'd stood up to bullies, accusations of cheating, and transfers back and forth. He'd stood up and he was stronger for it.
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I'm down now
But I'll be standing tall again
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of
Kurt thought to himself, you haven't even begun to see what I'm made of.
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
No no
I'm not going nowhere
I'm staying right here
Oh no
You won't see me begging
I'm not taking my bow
Can't stop me
It's not the end
You haven't seen the last of me
Oh no
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me
So he didn't get into NYADA, there were other schools. He could go to Parson's it was one of his top 3 college picks, and he'd been accepted. He even had a scholarship for most of the tuition cost. His portfolio was extensive. He loved fashion; it was something he was good at. He loved that it was an art form that you could take with you everywhere.
Fashion was also something that Rachel couldn't compete with him over. It is one thing that he would always be better at. She could have her Broadway dreams, he wouldn't begrudge her that. He had dreams too. Fashion had been his dream before glee club and it was still his dream now. He realized he had allowed Rachel and Blaine to pull him in with their musical dreams. He knew very well that even if he did try for musical theatre he'd only get the bit parts or the stereotypical parts. He knew this and accepted it. His own worth didn't lie on the whims of the theatre sect. He was the master of his own destiny.
