I probably don’t know what I’m talking about, but please consider this:
Your chances to get into these schools is very unpredictable.
This is my first year applying and I have never gone anywhere but public school, but admission truly hinges off a lot of uncertainty. Being self motivated is what I think is the most important part. Just prepare to see the results and know that everything will be fine no matter the decision. You should be proud of just finishing applications. For me personally, this has been a year in the works. Don’t let a decision define you.
With that being said, lock in.
