Super nervous about Ivies and Stanford, but being waitlisted at UChicago was encouraging. I hope all of you get into your dream schools, and even if you don’t, know that you’ll end up going somewhere that will make you just as happy! Plus if you’re nervous about acceptances, just remember that all of the admissions officers are real people that are looking at you as a real person too, so you’ve probably got a much better shot than you’re letting yourself think :slight_smile:
