Fear of not being able to get in...

<p>Um...is anyone feeling this horrible dread? I mean, I can think of at least one thing that I could have done to make my application better. I did very little community service outside of the National Honor Society, and oh my gosh...</p>

<p>I've been feeling this dread since I hit send on my applications and it's getting worse. I have horrible visions of myself walking through my safety school...</p>

<p>Deep breaths. Remember that there’s nothing you can do about it now, it’s out of your hands, and wherever you get in (and you will get in somewhere, probably many somewheres) you’ll go there and be happy. There’s no sense worrying over things you can’t control. Just try to relax and think about thick, happy envelopes.</p>

<p>I have a similar fear every once in a while–but I’ve found that throwing yourself into something you love to do and that makes you feel confident about yourself can dissipate those feelings. When you’re busy doing something that you love, those worries take care of themselves between now and march =)</p>

<p>I felt the same way as I finished my apps, then calmed down, I’m sure I’ll be a basketcase in march</p>
