this happens sometimes… not THAT often, but relatively often.
i think about the schools i applied to and then realize (i did realize this while applying) that they’re all reaches, and i may not get into ANY of them.
for me, personally, it’s either state school (hopefully full scholarship) or all out (my reaches (ivies+others))
i’m really afraid i’m not going to get into any college other than my state school.
okay, yeah idk. does anyone else feel like this sometimes?
<p>same here, except my "safeties" are a couple of UC's. I'm more stressed these days, though, from fin aid and scholarship apps.</p>
<p>i keep my expectations low so that i'll be able to handle rejections easily, haha.</p>
<p>oy vey.</p>
<p>Yea, I sure do feel that way sometimes. First it was the apps, the essays, the resumes, and now the profile, the fafsa the interviews ... STRESS, STRESS, STRESS! </p>
<p>And to add to it, it seems that lately I doubt myself, my choices and my chances more than I'd like to admit.</p>
<p>I'm starting to think that maybe CC has something to do with it, in my case anyway. Before I found this forum I was happier with myself, and a little more secure about which way I was headed. Not super-confident or anything, but atleast I wasn't double and triple guessing myself all the time. But after reading a gazillion posts from people who had amazing scores, GPAs, & EC's and still doubted themselves -- I started to wonder on what planet I had been living on for the last 4 years. If these people think they can't make it --- there must be no hope for someone like me.</p>
<p>Sorry, just had to vent!</p>
<p>I don't like feeling this way, and I do try to take it with a grain of salt most of the time. But I have to admit that the closer we get to April, the harder it is to control the anxiety.</p>
<p>i'm liking post-app stuff
cuz u really can't do much anymore. and it doesn't matter. i can't wait for midterms to end (my grades won't drop horribly of course. i just won't stress <em>as</em> much)</p>
