<p>Hi, I can relate to your situation a lot. I took APs and honors all throughout highschool, and due to financial issues and a few rejections I will now be attending my states public flagship university. I too thought that all of my hard work was for nought, especially because UIowa guarantees admission to the top 50% through a math formula. </p>
<p>I agree with Rileydog that all of your hard work in high school will help you get ahead in college. </p>
<p>Good luck dragonfae9, do research on the schools you did get accepted to and try to get excited about them, it helped me.</p>
