<p>Hi, Ive submitted all of my apps, and now im gonig through a phase where Im actually think that im not getting in anywhere excpet my safties. Lol does this happen to a lot of ppl</p>
<p>its happening to me i'm going absolutely insane</p>
<p>i am too...</p>
<p>but i'm just trying to keep myself busy.</p>
<p>i keep getting anxious, and everyday i check the mail, hoping that someone will have sent me a decision early.</p>
<p>i'm kind of freaked out.</p>
<p>actually, it happened to me BEFORE I applied, when I got insecure and applied to about 60 schools.</p>
<p>yea it's no exaggeration. i come here to lessen my fears hoping for good news from somewhere, but CC i think inevitably adds more stuff to worry about. oh well, kinda like an addiction? it's really soothing when you do it, but i'm sure it's unhealthy :)</p>
<p>I have faith that things will work out in the end.</p>
<p>Haha, frankly, school keeps me too busy to have post app fears.
Woo whee, weekends are no longer Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but just one big long extended blur of a Friday night, to be picked back up on Monday morning. I don't even know how many days in a row I'm pulling an all-nighter now.</p>
<p>it happened to me today. in fact, sometimes i fear my safeties will waitlist or reject me and i'll havta defer a year...</p>
<p>Children, children, RELAX!!! Make yourself a cup of tea or hot chocolate, read a good book (try something written before your grandparents were born), eat well, exercise, take the dog for a walk, and get lots of sleep (you all need at least 9 hours). If all that fails, turn on the tv and watch a "Date My Mom" marathon on MTV. Hopefully that will make your life seem fabulous by comparison.</p>
<p>The admissions gods will shine upon you. If you are disappointed, remember, it's not where you go, but what you do when you get there.</p>
<p>I worry more than I won't be able to pay for them.</p>
<p>yeah, i'm scared i'm not getting in anywhere either...if one school sends me a rejection letter, then what if all the other schools send me one for the same reasons? I want my dreams, not my safeties.</p>
<p>60 schools, wow, and I thought my 20 was a lot!</p>
<p>I've actually started to think I'll get rejected from my reaches & matches. Then, my safeties will see right through me and say "She's so overqualified, she'll go to an Ivy anyway" and reject me too.
It's because I only applied to six schools :/</p>
<p>six schools is a good number...i'm applying to seven</p>
<p>i think applying to a smaller number means that you either really know where you want to go (like applying to one - like my dad did) or you just really know what you want in a school.</p>
<p>a friend of mine is applying to 23 schools and it makes me question whether she actually knows what she wants.</p>
<p>i get the same feeling...</p>
<p>HAHA. </p>
<p>Sorry. I think it's funny how you think your safeties will reject you because they think you're overqualified. </p>
<p>Besides, your safeties won't do that. Colleges always consider yield rate when deciding how many students to admit. They know that if they're going to get highly qualified applicants who will most likely venture off into different universities, they're going to take that into account. </p>
<p>Anyway. I can't believe some people apply to over 20 schools on here. It's appalling...GASP. It's also a big dent in your wallet.</p>
