<p>What is your reach/top choice school? What will you do if you don't get into your reach school(s) and it is your absolute first choice/you were obsessed with getting in?</p>
<p>Mine would probably be Yale but I'm not even sure if I'll apply since I don't think I'll have a shot whatsoever, so next would probably come Dartmouth/Brown/Cornell. And I'll probably get rejected from all 3 and go into a bout of spiraling depression...</p>
<p>How about you guys?</p>
<p>Go to my safety, or maybe one of my matches, I dunno. Top shot is prolly the University of Arizona atm.</p>
<p>If I don't get into Brown (or any of my other reaches), I'll go to my state flagship and try to transfer next year. (To either Brown or Cornell) ^_^</p>
<p>I always feel bad that my high match school isn't HYPSM. But then again, Vanderbilt isn't exactly a reach for me, as I was more pragmatic in my college selection approach.</p>
<p>If rejected, I'll be really sad for a week.</p>
<p>And then go to Emory or FSU.</p>
<p>If I don't get into my reach, I will say "Oh well."</p>
<p>And then go to UC Berkeley if they accept me. Hopefully they do. Cuz I'm not quite sure what I'll do if they don't.</p>
<p>I only plan to apply to one school: IU-B. And it's a super safety. I shall not get rejected. If I do, well, that won't happen.</p>
<p>I'll be really sad and probably just not go to college for now and take the most rad gap year evaar.</p>
<p>Eat a live kitten.</p>
<p>If I don't get into my reach, I'll go to a safety, probably with a decent scholarship, and enjoy myself there. It's not like reaches are the be-all and end-all of a college search.</p>
<p>Be miserable for a while, take a really cool gap year in which I cure cancer / start multiple condom factories / implement innovative social programs in third-world countries, and apply again.</p>
<p>i'll DIEEE</p>
<p>I'll be saddened, but then remember medical school only cares that you kick ass at academics, not where you go. Plus, UF isn't horrible, so I wouldn't be all mopey. I'd be done a year earlier too.</p>
<p>I have Tulane to fall back on and I love Tulane so uh..I don't really care :D</p>
<p>I think I'm lucky in that I love EVERY single one of my schools and if I don't get into Brown/Emory/Rochester I wouldn't feel bad at all.</p>
<p>I was already rejected from my top choice. I got over it after a few unusual activities, such as: shooting my rejection letter with a pellet gun multiple times, blasting the same letter with a potato cannon, drying the remains and folding them into a paper crane, and then casting that crane in over-catalyzed resin to give it that nice destroyed look. After that I went surfing and to fencing class; that pretty much calmed me down.=)</p>
<p>I wont care at all.</p>
<p>I'll probably burn the rejection letter and just go to a school I got accepted into that I actually like...</p>
<p>Not even going to bother transfering in the next year because I hate starting over.</p>
<p>I'll be pretty sad. My farthest reach school (Cambridge) is entirely different from every other school to which I'm applying, and I've wanted to go there since I was little. But if I were rejected from my other reaches, like Yale, I'd be okay with that. I think I'd be sad about being rejected from MIT. I really, really want to have the chance to take 18.02 with Professor Denis Auroux.</p>
<p>armageddon- Oh wow! Do you mind telling us what school?</p>
<p>And hmm, I'm not sure if I would want to transfer in. I'd probably hold a grudge against the school. Maybe I shouldn't even apply to my reach since I know I won't get in, that way I can happily transfer at some point.</p>
<p>Lol. If you didn't get into the school, it wasn't within reach. :)</p>
<p>if i get rejected from MIT, I'll trashtalk to school for a month, and go an Ivy League. Then, if it is Harvard, laugh at all of the people at MIT.
And if I don't get into Ivy League, hello to CalTech/Cornell!!!</p>
