<p>I've been pretty relaxed about college decisions for the past few months. I've kept the "come what may" attitude, and haven't stressed much.... but now as the decision date approaches I'm starting to feel the heat. </p>
<p>Maybe it's from reading too many CC stats that are higher than mine, I don't know. I'm starting to get worried, which is weird for me since I am a pretty calm person.</p>
<p>Stressed seniors, unite! O.o</p>
<p>Don’t let the stress get to you, it’s not going to improve your condition at all. Give it your best, that’s about all you can do. It should be enough ;)</p>
<p>I’m so anxious!! The last week of March will either be the best week of my life or the worst.</p>
<p>I feel the same way OP!</p>
<p>I’m starting to feel like I applied badly…whatever. What is done is done, and I only have to wait about three/four more weeks to know.</p>
<p>I get how you feel smile, but that was pretty hyperbolic.</p>
<p>Honestly you guys, there are a lot worse things than can happen than getting rejected from your first choice–or your fifth, or half the schools you applied to, or even every school you applied to. Try to have some perspective. People all over the world are dying, people are starving to death, people are living under oppressive regimes–and you’re going to college in the US. Just chill.</p>
<p>^The whole “children are starving in Africa” bit really does not make anyone (or maybe it’s just me) feel better. It really just makes me feel worse because then I start thinking about all of the horrible things in the world. Then I feel guilty for worrying about my own peachy life.</p>
<p>Yeah I feel the same. When I was applying, I was like “maybe I’ll get into at least one of these great schools!”
But now I feel like I wont get into any of the good schools…</p>
<p>Thats alright, I’ve been crying for the past week. I have prepared myself for every possible rejection.</p>
<p>I hate suprises.</p>
<p>…and this is why all current juniors should apply places early. When I start panicking, I just keep telling myself, “The worst that can happen is Chicago. The worst that can happen is Chicago.”</p>
<p>I got into my school early, yess.</p>
<p>glassesarechic, I did apply to my stateU and I thought I would love to go there b/c they gave me a full ride and everything and now I sudde4nly don’t want to go there. I applied early but now i want the ivies more… (sighs)</p>
<p>I really wish I had applied to more reaches and less “match” schools. My parents didn’t fill out any fin aid estimates until after I’d applied and now I’m realizing it’s between the reaches and safeties anyway.</p>
<p>I wish I had focused more on applying, but even if I had, I would still think the same thing, so I guess it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>I really, really, really wish I had applied to Chicago EA. I just didn’t want to do the essays but in hindsight it seems pretty dumb.</p>
<p>^Me too!! I was just kicking myself for it, too, lol.</p>
<p>I applied early to MIT, Columbia and Case Western (had no supplement essays), even though Columbia was my nominal second choice. Got into CWRU which is a pretty good school but deferred from the other two… I just had so many people say “ZOMG what if you get into both” (now seems like a pipe dream obv) that I never really thought about not getting into either.
Edit: cause Columbia is ED obviously</p>
<p>Yeah, I know what you mean. I applied to Stanford, and would’ve done UChicago, if Stanford wasn’t restricted. :(</p>
<p>I would have done UChicago but I decided I wouldn’t want to go to the place “where fun goes to die” and I applied ED to Brown. In hindsight, I would still definitely pick UChicago over my safeties so I should have applied EA. I didn’t apply RD to Chicago either…</p>
<p>Seeing people get likely letters on this site makes me feel even worse :(. I found out people started getting likelies from my 2nd choice school.</p>
<p>I wish I had applied to Yale EA. I didn’t even end up applying anywhere early.</p>
