<p>Colleges like H and Y have about a 3% admit rate for the RD round. Plus you’re an international applicant, the most competitive pool extant. I think you should be resolved that yours (and most others’) chances are next to nil. 1) you can’t change what’s been done 2) worrying won’t improve your chances 3) worrying over something that is +97% likely to occur seems like a waste of energy/emotions when you can be so productive these last few months of your HS career. Do you think you’ll destroyed if in September you’re not going to be stepping onto Harvard or Yale’s campus? </p>
<p>If you’re anywhere near competitive, then there will be a good handful of schools that will tripping over themselves with offers. You’ll be fine. Stop worrying. Get ready for your adventure in Sept. So what if it’s not Cambridge or New Haven? You think that’s all there is? Been there, done that. Life is fine with or without it.</p>
