<p>Just how confident are you getting into your Dream School honestly?
For me, I don't even bare a chance right now, truthfully. Sophmore</p>
<p>I waiver.</p>
<p>One day I think I'll get in easily, the next I think I don't have a chance in hell.</p>
<p>Same here, I doubt myself everyday, especially considering my dream school. Being on CC too long depresses me even more. I hate to think about it. Other days I tend to find marvelous things about myself and my chances. For now, I just have hope.</p>
<p>I hate it when people say "Of course you'll get in" and I have nothing at all to say to them. They just have no idea about the competition out there.</p>
<p>I think I have about an average chance of getting into my dream school, but an average chance at an ivy still isn't very good :(.</p>
<p>"I hate it when people say 'Of course you'll get in' and I have nothing at all to say to them. They just have no idea about the competition out there."</p>
<p>I get the same thing all the time, and I feel the same way.</p>
<p>i third (?) that opinion.</p>
<p>It seems like a trend to differ by days. Sometimes I feel like I have no chance and I'm just kidding myself. Other days I feel confident. However, I like to keep things positive and optimistc!</p>
<p>Yeah, the people at my school don't understand. "You can go anywhere you want with a 33!"</p>
<p>Well, I'm hoping for the best, expecting the worst. (That won't do me any good if I don't start on applications though!) lol</p>
<p>same here. sometimes I'm uncertain, other times I'm confident. usually I'm confident though!</p>
<p>People think I can go anywhere with a 29. When I tell them that I am going to retake it, they think I'm crazy. I got tired of explaining to them how hard it is to get into elite colleges, so now i just accept their cluelessness.</p>

<p>This sums up how I feel.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure (85-90%) that I'll be accepted to my first choice... my second choice, though... I'm 85-90% sure I'll be rejected.</p>
<p>Well, my dream school changes by the day.
So I guess my chances do too.</p>
<p>I'm one of those people who are really wavering about it, too. Like, I look at my scores, my rank, my ECs...and I think that I've done a really good job these past four years. And then I come on here...and I feel like a loser! Haha...I mean, I have a 2150 SAT and my friends think I'm ridiculous for retaking it.</p>
<p>I think it really is just such a crapshoot. Like, if you look at the decisions threads for the elite colleges, a lot of "average" candidates can get accepted while people with 2300+ SAT and Intel worthy research get rejected. There's just no way of honestly finding out until that decision comes in the mail.</p>
<p>Reality only exists in the eyes of the beholder...</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm very confident about getting to my dream school, but I'm not so confident that I can afford it.</p>
