<p>I also felt overconfident and applied to like 14 schools. so far, i’ve only been accepted into my safeties and have had 2 waitlists, one at jhu, the other at nu. i’m waiting on more rejections/waitlists from a few ivies and stanford. at first, it hurt a lot and lift seemed to suck. but in the end, its only undergrad. u’ll have more chances to get into the schools u love, either through transferring or applying for grad school. don’t take these rejections personally, some of the decisions that top colleges make don’t make any sense at all. You were probably just as qualified as the next person for admission but they could only choose one and maybe flipped a coin or something. Just be proud of yourself for working so hard in high school and on the applications. And if your not satisfied with the school you end up going to, try again and work harder on a great transfer application. Don’t let Tuesday discourage you from continuing to do your best and trying hard to succeed.</p>
