<p>Is anybody body else going crazy over getting accepted? Honestly I'm scared *****less of the whole thing. And I haven't even applied! My math SAT is too embarassing to even post, but the rest looks good (I hope). Sometimes I feel I will get rejected from every colllege in America.
=( Did anyone feel like this and get in?</p>
<p>It seems there are 2 types, those fearing they won't getb in anywhere and those who think they'll get in everywhere.</p>
<p>Just make sure to apply to realistic schools.</p>
<p>I'm freakin' out. I don't know where the hell I want to go and I'm not even sure if I'll get into the places I'm half-way considering. I've only gotten into MSU so far, and that was way in October. Since then, I've been doing...nothing.</p>
<p>I alternate...some days I'm sure I'll get in and some days I'm sure I'm not good enough</p>
<p>bobby100, i am one of the former :(</p>
<p>I was just thinking about this all day today! I have no idea where I'm applying, UT-Austin is my no-way-I-can't-get-in (Texas top 10% rule) safety so that's good I guess, but the rest of my list is all over the place. I'm probably applying like 10 places and it would be kind of embarrassing if I only got into 1 of them. Right now I'm kind of freaking out thinking that I will get flat-out rejected or waitlisted at nearly every school on my list, even though my stats are above average for some of them. </p>
<p>I am also such a procrastinator. And I know I should be working on my applications instead of on CC, but it's so much better freaking out together than freaking out while attempting to write an essay.</p>
<p>I feel that most of the people on this site will get into a decent, above average school. I mean seriously, we spend our time posting in 'college forums'. We are the ones who really care about getting accepted. We know what kinds of things colleges are looking for. The majority of everyone else thinks that being a math club member and being in an advanced language with a 3.0 gpa will get them in to wherever they wish.</p>
<p>I'm on the alternating bandwagon as well. Some days I feel great about my chances...others not so much. Thus far I've only applied to my ED school--at this point I haven't worked on any applications other than that one--if I get deferred in two weeks, I'll be a busy and ****ed man.</p>
<p>I am freaking out. Last week I made my final list, but am considering adding one more school that I can't stop thinking about. The thing that is REALLY starting to worry me is the applications. I didn't realize how complicated some are and how many essays I will have to write. I have an EA school due in 2 days, and I am still working on my essays! School is also getting a lot harder, and my ECs are consuming more of my time than ever. I am just really excited for next semester!!</p>
<p>My friend had a dream last night where all of our friends got rejected everywhere. It was very depressing to hear about. Incredibly unlikely, but if it happens, we can make a lot a money off of her magical gifts instead of going to college. :)</p>
<p>i definitely go back and forth between feeling like i'm a sure shot and knowing that i'll get rejected everywhere...I totally agree with Islav, though. it feels like i've put so much time and research into the entire admissions process that i can't NOT get in somewhere. that's what i try to tell myself on bad days.</p>
<p>may be that's why we need to diversify our college list between safeties and reaches. Don't underestimate yourself and yet don't think too highly of yourself either.</p>
<p>Islav- I feel that most of the people on this site will get into a decent, above average school. I mean seriously, we spend our time posting in 'college forums'. We are the ones who really care about getting accepted.</p>
<p>I totally agree. I feel like (at least I hope) that most people on here reflect the "higher end" of the admission pool.
On the other hand, I'm still freaking out about getting in too. I applied ED to my top choice and so far i've done no work on my other apps (bad idea, I know) I keep trying to start the supp. essays for the rest of my schools but I have no inspiration :-/ Murphy's law though: If I do the rest of the apps, I'll get in ED.. better get working!! :)</p>
<p>I'm freaking out over getting into UMich. I'm praying I get accepted...soon cause the wait is killing me. Scared ****less too cause my friend with decent EC a 3.7 and 31 ACT got deferred. Then again, UMich accepted another friend of mine with a 3.5 and 27 ACT with decent EC (and 2 alumni parents). And since I have a 3.6 and 31 and alumni and good EC...who knows :(</p>
<p>I haven't started my apps for my RD schools either...because partly I still don't know where to even apply RD. I have one school really. All other schools are more prestigious than my ED school and thus harder to get into.</p>
<p>I'm not so much freaking out as I get random pings of sadness when I think of what life would be like if I didn't get into my first choice. It's not the rejection I fear, I just found the most perfect school for me in every single way. I know it's an unhealthy attitude--I can't help it!</p>
