Seniors: anybody else starting to lose hope?

<p>I have 9 schools to hear from… argh.</p>

<p>I have 10 schools.</p>

<p>I have 12.</p>

<p>I applied early/priority for most of colleges, so I’ve heard back from all but one.</p>

<p>But good luck to you guys!</p>

<p>We’ll need the luck/magic/sparkly star dust.</p>

<p>Don’t lose hope. I was stressing out about even getting into my matches, but I ended up receiving a likely from Penn yesterday. Everything will work out for the best.</p>

<p>^And if it doesn’t, you can always transfer. :)</p>

<p>Transferring takes money and time. Sigh…
but, true, it is an option.</p>

<p>God I love knowing where I’m going and that it’s the perfect place for me. GO BLUE! Big win on the hardwood today too.</p>

<p>I really wish I had applied to more reach-y schools.
I got accepted to two schools EA that I liked and a deferral.
I should have seen that and decided not to play it so safe for RD.
Not so much. Now I’m waiting to hear back from my dream school, and a bunch of match-y places I don’t care about anymore.</p>

<p>I believe in God’s miracles!</p>

<p>Well I have 8-9 reach schools to hear back from. But applying to Cornell and MIT with a 2130 SAT is a bit daring haha.</p>

<p>I lost hope in this whole process a long time ago…</p>

<p>I am still waiting on 3 schools including USC which is the only one where rejection looks very possible.</p>

<p>I was going crazy until I got into my first school. I have no interest in going there, but it was wonderful to be into one. Now I have three to choose from, and am still waiting for six. I think the best thing to do is try not to think about it. There is nothing I can do anymore to help my chances so I just have to forget about it.</p>

<p>I know someone, who was rejected from 4 schools and deferred from another. They only have 2 more to hear from. And they aren’t freaking out yet. I would be beside myself in anxiety.</p>

<p>YES.</p>

<p>2350 SAT. Student Body President and other great ECs.</p>

<p>Losing scholarships left and right.</p>

<p>No likely letters/any other indications of acceptance from my first choice college.</p>

<p>It’s going to be a long month.</p>

<p>Things are going to get so anxious in a couple of weeks. I wish one of my top schools like Duke or Rice had EA because I definitely would have applied early. All of my schools have ED programs only so I couldn’t apply early anywhere, and this waiting process has been killing me.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! I’m sure we’ll all get some piece of good news in the coming weeks.</p>

<p>The fact that a ton of people on CC got Penn likely letters Friday made me feel a lot worse. I have 0 likely letters. I’m pretty sure I’ll love my “safety” that I already got into though. It’s a pretty respectable school, I’m in the honors program, and I got a ton of merit $$ so if I end up going there I definitely won’t feel deprived in any way. I’m visiting a week from this Saturday and I’m so excited! Hopefully once I visit, I’ll really love it and not be so nervous for March 26th-April 1st.</p>

<p>I, too, wish I would have applied EA to Chicago. Too lazy, sadly enough. So now I’m freaking out about this year’s depressed RD acceptance rate. </p>

<p>Applied to 9 schools, already got accepted to two (one of which hasn’t sent me a letter, but my unofficial transcript loaded today, which according to other neurotic CCers means I’m in). Chicago’s decision on Friday will have…interesting effects.</p>

<p>Oh, and FA determiners just look at my family’s baseline income and decide that my EFC is an amount that will make my family declare bankruptcy. ■■■.</p>

<p>I wish I had applied to several places EA instead of Yale SCEA… I also wish I had applied to more safeties. Right now, the only good place I’ve been accepted to is Emory with some merit scholarship money. I really like Emory, but I’m also hoping for more options (and financial aid). I also have gotten very, very little merit scholarship money from my safety (???). I’ve been rejected for pretty much all the other merit scholarships I’ve applied to. Up until now, I’ve been pretty relaxed about the whole process, and the past few years, when people have been asking me if I knew where I was going, I would nonchalantly reply, “I won’t know until around April 1st.” However, as April 1st approaches closer, as I start to hear back from some colleges, as people around me start getting likely letters and loads of merit scholarship money, I can no longer stay in my “I’ve done my best and whatever happens, happens” mode. And it sucks. </p>

<p>At least I know I’m not in it alone. =)</p>

<p>I’m becoming anxious too. My fallback is going to VCU for English/liberal arts (I was accepted), so that’s the worst thing that could happen… The best thing would be getting into one of the music schools/programs I applied to and studying contemporary vocal performance/songwriting/recording industry in a big city. Wouldn’t it be loverly? Yes. Am I confident that I’ll get into at least one if not multiple pop/jazz/industry programs? Yes. Is it the end of the world if I don’t? No, I’ll just spend a semester or two on my liberal arts credits and apply to music schools again as a transfer student. It’s all perspective =D</p>
