<p>if you get rejected to all the schools you wanted to go to, and you realize that you despise your safety options, what would you do?</p>
<p>i KNOW, i already said i was being paranoid! :S ;) thanks.</p>
<p>take a gap year? or go to one of your safeties and plan to transfer asap</p>
<p>but that's why you try to find safeties you really like and wouldn't mind going to</p>
<p>If you despise your safety option, y did you even apply there?</p>
<p>Tell me the college you applied to, and what state you live in ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, it's really not worth applying to a safety school unless you know you're going to enjoy your experience, that's what I did, especially since I had eight reaches so I had to have an escape plan which was actually a very strong school, though since I was in-state I knew I was getting in regardless, so yeah, just make sure you're happy with every place you're applying to or else it's not worth applying there, so..</p>
<p>There is no answer to this question other than you're stupid for choosing safeties you dislike or you don't have a wide selection of safeties due to abysmally low stats, which, in most cases, means your lazy and stupid (being lazy is stupid, hence both) or have a mixture of complications beyond your control and you did your best.</p>
<p>woah there sephiroth. No need to be so harsh.
besides, i dont think he applied yet.
It's summer. If he already applied, he probably got his result.
If not, then he has some serious thinkings to do.</p>
<p>Not being harsh since he obviously hasn't done this yet. I'm just saying what it most likely is.</p>
<p>"have a mixture of complications beyond your control and you did your best."</p>
<p>That is the part that removes the harshness, atleast I think it did.</p>
<p>But college admissions is harsh so bring on the harshness, though let's no be too mean ;). But yeah, get a nice mix [though obviously I didn't do that] and good luck with everything :D</p>
<p><em>clears throat</em> SHE, thank you, said she was being paranoid...and I am just making assumptions, faintly remembering a thread which they've described a student being rejected to all his schools....now that I look back, I think this college app thing is getting to me too much. Of course I'll pick safeties that I think will be appealing to me, but it is very possible that I will not like what I see, despite the image of the safety school that I had thought of before.</p>
<p>But thanks for all your inputs :] appreciate it</p>
<p>don't be so openly mean, sephiroth, calling the OP lazy/ stupid, unless you want me to call you a loser for having a video game villain as your handle.</p>
<p>It's not paranoia, it happens to lots of kids. Type Andi's son into search and read. Make sure you have a real safety.</p>
<p>i would enlist</p>
<p>....huh? YA10 what are you talking about? enlist in the army?</p>
<p>well yeah he asked what would i do... and i gave an answer.</p>
<p>oh...
why is everyone calling me (the OP) HE? am I that ambigenderous (yes its a word!) :S i don't know if i would ever fight for US. even if i was a he.</p>
<p>well your konadian so i dont see why you should :P</p>
<p>:] good call. this column seems to be very active right now, dont you think?</p>
<p>I think anyone found in that situation would actually learn more in that one year than in any other year at the college of their dreams. </p>
<p>Regardless of what you do, the object is to make the most of it.</p>
