<p>You’re not alone. I know I kind of commented on this in the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/965248-yale-2015-scea-hopefuls.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/965248-yale-2015-scea-hopefuls.html</a> thread, but the best thing to do is think positively. You will end up where you are meant to be. My mom says to “put it in God’s hands.” Seeing as I don’t exactly believe in God (or at least its Catholic iteration), I find hard this hard to follow. However, I am not atheist; I believe that there is something bigger guiding us. Additionally, you should never underestimate the power of thinking positively. No matter what, you will probably attend a great university (possibly Yale), and call it fate, God, or whatever, it will be where you are meant to be. If you need something tangible, a reasonable (no more than 2 hrs) of SAT prep or essay writing sometimes works, but don’t go overboard. Don’t let this process consume you; the college you attend is not representative of your self-worth.</p>
<p>Sorry, I got preachy (again) and religious (not me), but I do believe that it’s the truth. I hope this helps. PM me if you want.</p>
