<p>I've been obsessing over my dream college WAY too much. I can't stop thinking about it and I've become so attached, not only are admissions a crapshoot but it's a complete reach for me. How do I pull myself from being so attached so I'm not so heartbroken when I don't get in?</p>
<p>do what i do: expect to get rejected but hope like hell that you don’t. try your best. If dreamU doesn’t wan’t you, you don’t want dreamU.</p>
<p>Research other schools. The more you research, the more likely you are to find other schools just as good or find something school #2 has that school #1 lacks.</p>
<p>I am in the same situation basically. I found that all I can do is be a realist and recognize that I will probably get rejected. Find other schools that you can love as well.</p>
<p>Have you visited schools yet? There are other fish in the sea.</p>
