<p>Fallen so in love with a school that you can't even stop to think about other schools and what you should be doing in the probable event you don't get into afformentioned school? </p>
<p>ahhhhh.</p>
<p>Yup. But a rejection to a summer program associated with the school brought me back to reality and I became more level headed. I still love the school, but I won't be as devastated if I'm rejected since I've learned to love some of my other top schools.</p>
<p>Yeah, I have no backup plan either, but top 10% rule in Texas guarantees me a place in that college.</p>
<p>No.
For the record falling in love with a school sounds pretty hilarious lol</p>
<p>btw, i'm curious to the OP (and others but especially op) : What is your top school?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>I've dreamt of this school since the first week of my sophomore year. In my freshman year, I had a 3.34 GPA. Now, at the conclusion of my sophomore year, I should have around a 3.8 I probably won't get in to my dream school, but I can at least keep on trying. As long as I have the possibility of going there, I have no reason to give up.</p>
<p>invoyable- its rice university</p>
<p>I fell in love with West Point when I did my first round of college visiting before 9th grade.</p>
<p>Well:</p>
<ol>
<li>My freshman grades were horrible</li>
<li>Didn't become captain of a varsity team</li>
<li>Can't do 8 pull-ups</li>
<li>Found ROTC is a much easier way to become a second lieutenant</li>
<li>Forgot to contact my senators</li>
</ol>
<p>I guess I'll shoot for University of Florida or some decent out of state school.</p>
<p>Well, it's pretty easy to fall in love with Rice. Have you visited? Beautiful campus.....</p>
<p>Never really fell in love with UF, because the dorms are like purgatory. Then again, my parents own land 12 miles away from campus; all I have to do is set up a mobile home and utilities and I'm all set.</p>
<p>Plus, how can I not be a Gator? :p</p>
<p>haven't visited, but seen pictures and read up on it. It seems like the perfect school for me! Just have to work my a off and pull up my 3.7 uw from sophomore year</p>
<p>liist, being in florida, UF is one my list if i don't get into my top choices. but the size of that school and the number of students...its daunting</p>
<p>^ I agree. That's one huge thing I'm worried about UF. I wouldn't be too excited to go there because of the size but there's a huge possibility that I'll be there anyway.</p>
<p>yup, with berkeley. it was more like an obsession. luckily i got in, or else i would've felt like an idiot.</p>

<p>Lemme guess, you have your mind set on one school (aka Rice, you say).</p>
<p>My advice is to apply ED if you are really sure. Try to emphasize your interest with the school. If you are rejected/deferred, you have time to move on and focus on your other applications.</p>
<p>I had my heart set on a school and applied to ED, and I was deferred. This dampered my spirits somewhat, given the ambiguity of the results. However it gave me a reality check, and after I was rejected I was able to focus on some other schools. So no matter the situation, you will always find a resolution. Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks! my school is really small and doesn't send alot of students to top schools so whenever someone dares to apply to a great school, my guidance counselor blabs all over campus as a way to motivate the other students. haha its..almost comical but so embarrasing if you don't get in</p>
