I’d like to thank every single one of you for your comments and helping me feel better about all of this.
(I’m not sure what the forum rules are and I don’t know where to find them so I’ll just tag each one of you in this comment)
@wildcat1313 thank you for your kind words and I’ll try and think on the positive side about my acceptances. <3
@StressssedOut my mother was just telling me on the car ride home how random things are and they could choose someone with the same credentials as you over you because they play an instrument the band needs or are a goalie for soccer, etc. etc. I hope you get good news from the rest of your schools.
@MYOS1634 I still have 3 or 4 answers left, but they’re all low acceptance schools and I know I won’t measure up just like I didn’t for these ones I’ve been rejected from. My budget is very small, I don’t have a large college savings account, barely even a small one. I’ll have to ask my mother about the NACAC list, I’ve never heard about it and she probably knows what it is. By stats, I’m not sure what you mean. My mother mentioned taking a gap year to go travel, but I could tell she was kind of joking, I’m worried that it would hurt me when I reapply to these schools that already denied me.
@sevana2020 I think I’ll probably end up going to a school in the University Of Maine system and reapply to my favorite schools and see what happens.
@preppedparent Thinking about all those spots that are already filled really frustrates me, just because I’m not a star athlete or a super whiz… Thank you for your kind words <3
@SweetCaliforniaWeather-12 I’m sorry about your rejection <3 I hope things work out for you
@Publisher I’ve been accepted to Wheaton, Suffolk, Ithaca, University Of Maine at Orono, and University of Southern Maine. The only thing that appeals to me at the Maine schools is that they’re still in my state and I’ll be able to see my family. Ithaca I know more about and actually like, they have a good study abroad program with lots of options. I like their location, they have a major in writing which many places didn’t have. I’m just waiting on the financial aid from them. Suffolk isn’t an option because they want me to pay 20,000 or maybe even more a year, a can’t remember because we already ruled it out as soon as we saw that. University of Maine schools I’ll get half off because my Mom works for the system, but I’m just not in love with those schools like I was the others. Wheaton, I don’t know anything about.
@mrjsmom I’m sorry about your son, I hope he gets into a school he really loves. Thank you for your kind words <3
@gallentjill Thank you for your stats and advice and if I think of any questions I’ll be sure to message you.
@HCPP20 It is unfortunate that being a Maine resident worked against me, because I most of all wanted to stay in my state for college so that I could see my friends and family more often. It sucks that geo diversity may have played a part, even in a small way, to some of my rejections.
@Seekwise Thank you for the well wishes and your success stories you’ve shared with me. I would have liked to go to Bowdoin, not just because of my mom, but also the closeness to home and the beautiful area, and what I’ve seen first hand of what a great school it is.
@ACollegeHopeful3 I’m sorry that you got rejected to, I hope you have an amazing time at your school, make lots of friends, and earn more achievements to put on your next apps!
@Wisdom2share Of course some of what drew me in to these schools was their big name, I knew that it would help me when looking for jobs because in the publishing world it isn’t easy to start from no where. I’ll try and look at some positive aspects and make the most of it <3
