<p>I’ve applied early action to University of Chicago and Georgetown university and am now working on my apps for Barnard and Swarthmore. I have safeties lined up but these are my top choices, UC is my dream school. I’m so nervous and waiting for the results of my apps are already killing me. What’re my chances, and what’re some tips for calming nerves while I wait for those letters in December?</p>
