ACK! What if I don't get accepted anywhere?!

This nightmare I had recently was prompted by my classmate who applied to only one school as a transfer student. He had applied to SJSU’s Global Studies online program and right before he was supposed to find out if he got accepted, they told him they were shutting the program down. What should he do?

Anyway, I have these recurring nightmares that I apply to every possible UC and CSU in the state and I don’t get accepted anywhere. Realistically, I plan to apply to UCLA (1st choice), UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, and CSULB.

In the situation of not getting accepted anywhere, what is one person supposed to do? Keep doing the CC thing? Are they able to apply elsewhere in a year or something?

Inquiring minds want to know…
