I'm depressed

Applying to College
1

<p>It's not one of those "Oh I got rejected from every school threads." I actually have a fairly good selection of schools.</p>

<p>Well anyway, I got accepted into my top choice (Wash U) and I thought it would be my dream school. Solid academics, great food, and excellent people. I got invited into multicultural weekend, and I had a lot of fun and met some of the most interesting people in the world.</p>

<p>But after the weekend was over, I got really really depressed because a lot of the kids I met were going off to other schools like Stanford, Harvard, etc. I know it's silly, but I couldn't get over the fact that many of the funniest, brightest, and most unique individuals I met my entire life I will probably never see again (Sorry for my incoherent grammar, I didn't get any sleep last night). </p>

<p>And to make it worse, when I got back my parents told me they wanted me to stay in state. After the whole Va Tech shooting, my parents got really mad at me and thought I was insane (Because I like video games and guns) and they wanted me to stay in state so they can have a close leash on me. I really have no idea where I belong now, and I feel like my idea of a dream school is being ruined.</p>

<p>Again, sorry if my stuff doesn't make any sense, I'm too depressed right now to think well.</p>

<p>Hmm... That sucks. </p>

<p>Really bad actually.</p>

<p>In my personal opinion, I think you should still go to WashU no matter what. You seem to have done everything right, its a very reputable school. There are loads of people with interests in videogames and guns, that shouldn't be a catalyst to all the progress and hard work you put in to getting in to your dream school.</p>

<p>I think, and again you don't necessarily have to take my advice whatsoever, because i don't know you, but if you can prove or talk to your parents about your mental capacity and maturity with your hobbies, AND of your elation of the multicultural WashU experience, they might reconsider.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Up until the second to last paragraph I was really mad that you were complaining. Oh, that sucks. If I hadn't been denied by every single school outside my state I would be in a similiar situation. You might be able to convince your parents. Maybe I'll get off the wait list at Wash U and see you there.</p>

<p>Daniel you got into Dartmouth! There isn't anything that WashU will give you that Dartmouth won't, and I would argue that there is alot that Dartmouth will gve you that WashU won't!</p>
