Test optional probably didnāt help me with some of the more competitive schools. I was fortunate to get a lot of acceptances before all the more competitive school results started rolling in. If it had been the opposite I would have been severely stressed & bummed out!! Any rejection is still disappointing, even if you knew a school was a long shot. I thought I had a decent chance at GW (Villanova, Holy Cross), but knew there was stiff competition & unpredictable especially this year. I applied to WAY too many schools, but I guess it was a good mix/balance, and i have some great options. I have one more unlikely schools outstanding, AND SYRACUSE, but should switch to focusing on my options vs waiting.
Good luck to everyone still waiting, and congratulations to those who received acceptances!!!
