I'm so scared

<p>With all this college admissions and school, I haven't been focusing on my studies enough. I applied to 11 schools because of my financial status, and I need the best deal. My GPA before senior year was 3.813 uw. I got 1 B my soph year and 3 B's my junior year and all A's my freshman year. I'll end up getting like 2 A's and 5 B's on my midyear report though! I am freaking out! I have two AP's (Calc and Econ). The college I applied to are pretty tough: Michigan-Ann Arbor (on Nov. 17), Wisconsin-Madison(on Nov. 17), Case Western Reserve, Miami of Ohio, <em>Washington in St. Loius (ED II)</em>, Tulane, Northwestern, UPenn, Cornell, OSU, and BostonU. I am depressed.</p>

<p>I know I am doomed...I'm gonna go hurt myelf now</p>

<p>Vinzzy, you need to talk to someone NOW. You are in the same situation as many, many kids, my son included. His first quarter grades were abysmal, and I don't mean 5 B's either. You may need some hand holding and micromanaging during this stressful period of time. Talk to your school psychologist, favorite teacher, counselor, friend, parent about this.</p>

<p>i agree with jamimom...</p>

<p>And not to be negative, but you might want a few safeties. All of the schools you listed are tough and it seems like you might have just made your list based on the USNews rankings. Just my two cents!</p>

<p>OSU and Miami are safeties because they are in-state, and plus I didn't list a few of the local colleges. It seems that I'll only get into my safeties now...</p>
