avtrox, that’s what CC is for. Many, many,many posters here have been down the same road.
My son found himself in the same place - he was in love with Georgetown. He ended up at Penn, and has never looked back (Though my wife found his rejection letter stashed away in a dresser drawer). Along the way, he was accepted at many other great schools. I know it’s difficult, but trust that you will end up where you are meant to be.
