Hm…is it just me or are the younger members on here like…putting more pressure on themselves than necessary? They’re all “How can I get a 4.0, how can I get a 2400 SAT, should I apply to more than the twenty schools I’ve already applied do, how good of chances do I have at Princeton, Haaavard, Yale, darling?” Seriously lol, I feel almost like an underacheiver, though at least I’m not quite as stressed out. Like…I applied for two colleges, period. That was it. Nothing overly special, just University of Dayton and Xavier University, Ohio. Got into both. On scholarship. I mean, yeah, I put pressure on myself to get a 1300 on my SAT (out of 1600) so I could get a dual program for Med School admission, but I didn’t get the 1300…I was 30 points short. Which was good because once I explored other areas I decided med school wasn’t what I really wanted after all, and I wasn’t locked into something I was going to hate.
