Okay so to give some background I have posted before one time about Lafayette college but I am totally freaking out right now. So I would say my top three schools are Lafayette, Colby College and Connecticut College. I would absolutely consider Colby a reach like 100% but I had the most amazing Alumni interview there and I just love the school so much so I applied. I have gotten into all of my safety schools so far : UCONN, Umaine honors, UVM and Marist College (w/ merit) however I am still waiting on eight schools and I just feel so much pressure to not only go to a prestigious school but just to go to one I really love. I am still waiting on: Vassar College, Davidson College, Lafayette, Conn, Bowdoin, Colby, Wake Forest, Brandeis (free app). Honestly, I know Bowdoin, Vassar, Davidson and Colby prob won’t accept me and I understand that but what if I get rejected from all of them? I can see myself at all of those schools and I love each one in a different way so I would be happy to go everywhere on that list really. However I just can’t help freaking out! my stats are 31 ACT did not submit SAT, class rank top ten percent, Gpa is like a 3.4/3.5 unweighted and a 4.3 or 4.5 W I have submitted music supplements to all of these schools because I love to sing and I would say my extracurriculars are ok I did have some weird circumstances with a special program I used to be in but I included this in my commonage. Any advice would be so appreciated and so sorry for this long-winded post!
Just a short time remaining. Stay focused on school, friends, and family. You’ll be going to one of these great schools in just a few months. Enjoy the now. Enjoy the gift of youth. Enjoy time with people who love you and won’t be seeing you as often in the near future. Sounds like you’ve done a great job and already have some great choices. Good luck!
This is precisely the reason you applied to back up schools. You will not be shut out, you already have wonderful options. Your stats are very good, try to keep calm and have faith all will work out as it’s meant to.
Which of the schools that you have already been accepted to do you love? It’s realy important to have a safety that you would be happy to go to. You have some schools that you’ve already been accepted to that will provide you with a great education and a fun college experience. Focus on what you have rather than what you don’t have right now.
I truly can’t understand why you are freaking out and super nervous. You have been accepted to three colleges that you must have liked, or you wouldn’t have applied, right? You will not be one of the kids posting in April who didn’t get in anywhere, because they didn’t apply to any safeties.
You might not get into any of those schools. They are hard to get into for a reason. You should view this as “I will be lucky if I get into more schools. If I do, it’s a bonus.” As opposed to “I ONLY got into three colleges and I am a failure if I don’t get into more.”
What schools did you get into?
Are they affordable?
Only a few more days for the others…
