I have all 7 options, including change of major. I may not be admitted for CS tonight, but I don’t see any reason why I would be rejected for Accounting (my second choice). Nobody from my school has ever been rejected from Purdue with a 30+ ACT and 3.9+ GPA according to Naviance, and I submitted a ~4.5 and a 1460 SAT/34 ACT (not sure if they saw the 34 though)
Get off the internet, turn off your cell phone, get away from any screens, and go out and do something fun tonight! Whatever the result may be, the die has been cast; so there’s no need to get worked up over things.
I think that colleges wait until safely after school and extracurricular activity hours to post decisions such as not to distract kids from their studies/activities – I’m sure high schools appreciate that. Just a hunch.
Thank you for that true reference. I appreciate you. It is nice to learn from someone who knows. There is so much to consider with the decision of the “right” school; money is almost always the bottom line. There is a lot of work that has to be done if kiddos really want to be somewhere. Scholarship apps, work, consideration of loans (if it’s that important to them), etc.
All, there’s a fine line between having fun with the tea leaves and internalizing unneeded anxiety. If you feel yourself becoming increasingly anxious, do as Gandalf78 suggested and get offline. Eat a snack, go for a walk, read a book, and check back at 5 pm. You will get through this but the suffering is in the waiting
