<p>... that I'll regret not applying to certain schools. And I have so much time until end-of-the-year deadlines, I just feel like I'll feel absolutely horrible if I find I don't want to attend any colleges except ones I didn't apply to D:</p>
<p>Irrational thinking possibly and costs have racked up quite a bit. But has anyone else had this feeling? Like, essays are finished, could be easily tweaked for another college; teacher recs can easily be assigned (on common app); etc... just a little work for some supplement essays possibly...</p>
<p>Are these super reaches? Would you be able to afford these elusive dream schools if you got in? right now you have been working at this like a job, and tht job is ending. It happens to brides too, once they bought the dress.
Go on the websites of the schools that you have already applied to and fall in love with them again. Trust yourself that YOU chose these great places.</p>
<p>It is hard to give advice when I don’t know anything about your credentials, the colleges where you applied, the colleges you are thinking about applying to, and what you are able to afford. The best advice I can give you under those circumstances is if there’s a chance you will have regrets about NOT applying somewhere, don’t let a couple hundred more dollars stand in the way. Better make sure you can get recs, etc. sent before the deadlines at these additional schools. Good luck.</p>
<p>I had/have this problem as well! I’m still in the process of college apps, but I can’t help but think that there are other colleges out there that I’m not applying to but would love. I slipped up on my “final” college list and added one more, but that’s because I think I would be a perfect fit. There’s another that I would like to add, but I know I have to stop somewhere due to finances (SAT score reporting is soooo expensive!) and time (supplements…ugh - I can barely finish the ones that I’ve got). So I guess you have to be flexible and compromise, yet set a limit somewhere.</p>
<p>Ah, tell me about it. I’ve spent over $200 in score reports alone. I would absolutely love to attend any of my top few choices, but there’s a sizable chance I could be rejected from all of them. I was thinking of adding Brown, but then again, if I did get into to any of my top six choices, at the moment I can’t see myself choosing Brown over any of those choices… so yeah</p>
<p>And Brown wouldn’t be financially better than any of my top choices… but then I suppose part of this irrational feeling is that I may find in a few months that I end up liking Brown much more than I do now… at the moment I can’t see that happening… but thus the odd and possibly ridiculous thread created here</p>
<p>Yeah…is Brown any easier for you to get into than your top few choices? That would be one of the only reasons I could think of, is to have a top school that is more realistic for you that you like. If you don’t have them already.</p>
<p>But really…we can’t know which colleges are going to accept us and out of those, which ones we’ll want to go to. I think as long as you have enough matches, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>It should be a bit easier than my top choices, but it’s still a reach. I think I may though, and just pay out-of-pocket for the extra fees to avoid begging for any more money from my parents for college, haha. </p>
<p>I agree, I’ll be fine. Just wanted to know that I’m not crazy… at least in CC world.</p>
<p>Ah! I totally feel the same, keellota. It felt like I had a HUGE list a few weeks ago. But now that I’m finished, I feel like there’s these two that I will regret if I don’t apply. Haha, good to know I’m not alone.</p>
<p>Yeah…I think that’s a good strategy. I paid for my SAT score reports from CollegeBoard because I just felt so bad about asking my parents for yet another $100.</p>
<p>I had this feeling too. I applied to wayyy too many matches. There’s no excitement for me to get my acceptance letter and whatnot. I wish I applied to more reach schools, like maybe…UChicago or Northwestern. But I had already spent enough on transcripts and sending SAT/ACT scores.</p>
