<p>Haha, I read the title of the thread and was like "How did they know?!" I've been accepted to my in-state safety, but I'm still super nervous for the upcoming 2 months. I got the letter from USC saying they're no longer considering for the big Trustee/Presidential Scholarships, which kind of stung, even though it was not an outright rejection.</p>
<p>It's so ridiculous b/c I purposely picked schools that I would be competitive at so that I could avoid this feeling in the spring. Guess my plan didn't work out. :(</p>
<p>Yea, schools that I had previously marked as reaches have now become impossibles. My matches have become reaches. And my safties have become matches, which doesn't bode well since lots of people get rejected from matches. I wish I applied to like...a super safety or something. =(</p>
<p>It would actually be a bit funny if I didn't get in anywhere. Sure, funny in a terrible terrible way, but still funny. I'd have to make a shirt to celebrate the moment, something like: "1480/1600, 3.9, but not good enough for college"</p>
<p>Yeah, akiirah, Wellesley EE is really important for me too! For the same reasons you listed, as it basically determines whether I have a shot anywhere else. I haven't gotten into any safeties...I was rejected from the one medical program I thought I would get into for being "overqualified".</p>
<p>I so feel like that! infact i was so scared of not getting in anywhere that i applied to umass amherst! but after i got accepted by UIUC 4 days ago, i have become more chilled.
I still feel i won't get into many of my reaches but atleast i am going to college!</p>

I just got back from Cornell and had an interview for Columbia. I love Cornell sooo much and now I feel like I have zero chance of getting in . It was my worst interview because it was before I knew much about it.
<p>I definitely feel the same way, to the point where I've started shopping around collegeboard.com for schools that are still open to transfer applications! (Unfortunately I'm an Acting/Musical Theater student and most of the audition dates have still passed...) I've even considered changing my major so I can apply to more schools! Haha! I'm freaking out here!</p>
<p>haha, whats funny is that Im the opposite of most people here... I feel like I applied to way too many super safeties (I even revoked my admission to one because I just didn't like it) and applied to no reaches... When I applied, I had 2 super safeties, 2 safeties, and 1 match... Dang, shouldve put in more matches and reaches. But I guess its great, cause I've already heard from all of them except one safety</p>
<p>Same here- I have no safeties. The applications seemed so remote until I was contacted about my first and only interview a couple of hours ago.</p>
<p>I think only 1 out of my 6 will give me an interview because they are smaller and will be less likely to have alumni in my area (at least this is how I explain it to myself!). This is really frustrating though because I am not a typical student and I feel like my situation cannot be explained through a form.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have no safeties at all like me?</p>
<p>so i was recently freaking because i didnt apply to any safeties (well i thought i was a sure in at 2 of the schools i applied to and am now starting to reconsider). my application for one really non-competitive in-state isnt complete (they keep losing all my information). i mean yea everyone gets in but they gotta have all your stuff first. i just received an application for another in-state that i was not considering but its looking so good right now i decided to go ahead and fill it out. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>i mean dont get me wrong... i love my safties.
it seems like my safty schools will be more fun (party wise) so if end up at one of them, i guess it was meant to be haha</p>
<p>what are you guys safties? and what are your reaches?</p>
<p>"...I have 2 safeties, but like neither of them..."</p>
<p>If you wouldn't be happy attending a school, it isn't a safety. A safety is a school for which you're in the top 25% of applicants statistically AND you can afford to attend AND you'd be happy to attend.</p>
<p>I feel the same way. My safety has a 75% admit rate and I'm top ten in my class, yet I feel I'll be rejected. =/ It'd suck to since my aunt and mom work there and I'd get free tuition there.</p>
