Applications and Stress...

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>My application process was very relaxing until October 4. I filled out my common application, wrote my essays, set up my teacher recs and got ready to send. On October 4, I finally applied ED to Colgate. But now that the application is no longer in my hands, I'm really stressed out! I feel like there is no longer anything I can do to change my chance of admission (which there isn't) and that is literally keeping me up at night. The wait until December 15 will be the longest ever...</p>

<p>is anyone else having a similar experience, and if so, how are you dealing with it?</p>

<p>Just find something to keep your mind off it.</p>

<p>I'm more stressed about getting them in..</p>

<p>Sigh, whatever happened to the plan of doing essays over the summer</p>

<p>My stress is similar. I've so far sent in my apps to my two safeties and now I'm freaking out that I won't even get into them. I feel like the fact that I can't change what I submit means that I'm automatically going to fail.</p>

<p>That said, I've been pretty successful and finding other things to take my mind off of things. Read: 7 other applications, tons of schoolwork, and SAT IIs.</p>

<p>Same! I have a bunch of other applications to keep it off my mind, but it's still driving me crazy.</p>
