<p>I'm having second thoughts on the colleges that I'm applying too and I feel like I should be applying to different schools and that I'm scared that I'm not going to get accepted anywhere. I'm sending out my applications tomorrow and I have so much anxiety over it. I also feel like my essay isn't good enough, I wrote about my grandma teaching me how to draw.</p>
<p>-I'm applying early decision to SUNY Geneseo
- Regular decision to Uni Delaware, Uni Rhode Island, SUNY Oneonta, SUNY Binghampton, and SUNY stony brook</p>
<p>My SAT score is terrible, 1570</p>
<p>My GPA is a 3.75 unweighted, my 48 out of 371 I've taken AP science courses and accelerated math, I'm in science honor society, kickline, soccer, dance, a community service club, and class council. I also volunteer at a nature center and am starting to volunteer at a hospital. I want to major in Biology.</p>
<p>Besides geneseo I feel like I haven't really found a college match for me and I'm just applying to the rest of the colleges just to apply somewhere or because its cheaper becasuse I live in NY</p>
<p>First, take a deep breath and relax; I feel the same way, BUT YOU WILL BE FINE! Thinking about this too much might make you want to apply to 15+ schools, so before that happens, I advise you to take a week off from college nonsense. Give yourself 7 days to recharge and breathe in fresh air to cool your mind; watch netflix, play an instrument, sing songs, SLEEP, etc. Many seniors have been fretting for months without taking a break, so I recommend you taking one now before it becomes detrimental.</p>
<p>thanks so much! I’m just scared I’m missing out a college to apply to or that I should apply to a few more out of state. I feel as though my essay isn’t that great either and I don’t know how to improve on it before I send it out to Geneseo tonight.</p>
<p>I’d talk to your counselor if you really want to look at more colleges for regular decision; otherwise, 6 is a very nice number for your college list! Don’t change anything major on your essay now! Second doubts are very misleading and are a product of anxiety. Trust your instincts, and just submit it. Make sure to submit soon too (do not wait until 11:30pm) because a lot of students may be submitting late and that could be cause for technical difficulties…a frenzy of which you do NOT want to be a part.</p>
<p>Check out Wheaton (MA), Wells, Elmira, Alfred, West Chester ¶.
Your essay needs to start with an anecdote that takes the reader right into the “action” you’re describing, make him/her experience what you experienced (with sounds, smells, feelings, sights, etc), then use this anecdote as being a revealing piece of who you are, and explain how this moment is important or pivotal for you, and how you’ve changed since.
Geneseo is within reach. Good luck!</p>
<p>If you mean 1570 out of 2400, I would have to say that I think Geneseo and Binghamton are reaches. If it is 1570 out of 1600, you are most likely in.</p>
<p>If you are 1570 out of 2400, you have a long shot at Oneonta , depending on the individual scores, ie. verbal, math , writing.</p>
<p>I also think it is a long shot at Stony Brook if you are 1570 out of 2400. 1570 out of 1600, yes, a possibility.</p>
