What are your plans if you don't get in anywhere?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I've applied to 13 schools, among them 1 or 2 can barely be counted as safeties. I estimate that I have roughly a 5-10% of not getting in anywhere. I am sure there are others out there like me. Thus, for fun, I raise the question. What will you do if you get rejected EVERYWHERE?</p>

<p>I would:
1) Try and score the best I can on my IBs in May. </p>

<p>2) hitchhike across America (Kerouac style or something) working jobs and studying to get perfect SATs all around. </p>

<p>3) Apply early to Stanford or Yale. </p>

<p>4) Apply Regular, regardless of admission decisions to Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Wesleyan. </p>

<p>the countdown to April 1st has begun...</p>

<p>Hypothetically (since I’ve all ready been accepted) I’d go to my community college.</p>

<p>If I hypothetically got rejected from community college (which would be unprecedented and documentary-worthy) I’d probably find a job related to my major and try again next year.</p>

3

<p>well, cry…
then i guess local community college and transfer in to local state college
(i live in a college town)
all the while dealing with massive guilt everytime i look at my parents.</p>

<p>just a guess :)</p>

<p>that’s what safeties with rolling are for</p>

5

<p>Become the modern Johnny Appleseed.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>this. I’d just go to my safety with rolling admission school and probably take on some debt. I’d rather not go on a gap year. It would be like summer break but forever, I’d be the most unproductive person alive.</p>

7

<p>I’ve already been accepted to two schools. But hypothetically I would apply to those state schools with rolling deadlines.</p>

8

<p>Dissolve into a puddle.
Oh, and take up hard drugs possibly.</p>

9

<p>I’ll go into crimes and become the godfather (Vito Corleone)</p>

10

<p>I wouldn’t do anything, “I’M NOT PART OF THE SYSTEM!”</p>

11

<p>I would become the greatest rapper there ever was.</p>

12

<p>Make a living off hot dog eating contests.</p>

13

<p>Work at Hollister for the rest of my life.</p>

<p>But that’s highly improbable. I’m already into my two safeties.</p>

14

<p>Ugh, this is a possibility for me. I don’t know what I’d do. I have a list full of reaches (all my safeties are domestic and depend ONLY on my final exam grade). Is offing myself an option?</p>

15

<p>start my own college.</p>

16

<p>

^ Sign me up. </p>

<p>I think I would probably end up at a CC and then transfer to a UC. :(</p>

17

<p>I’d end up having to go to South Harmon.</p>
