<p>Please Chance Confused Girl? </p>
<hr>
<p>Hi, I'm just really nervous because I'm not sure whether I'm applying to too many schools that are out of my reach, etc. </p>
<p>I also want to know whether it would be more beneficial for me to apply undecided to some of the reach colleges, because I want to double major in business and history, and I know a lot of the colleges I chose have strong (aka competitive) business programs. </p>
<p>Please help me? I really am confused...and nervous... thnx</p>
<p>By the way: what schools do you guys think would be a good fit for me?</p>

Posts: 13 Oh by the way, I will be the first to graduate from college from my family. My dad went to MIT but dropped out due to an explosion of issues (serious illness- almost died, parent death, family business failed...pretty much got the short end of the stick)
