Did I shoot too low?

OP there were reasons you applied as you did in the fall. You had a clear first choice. You have gotten some good feedback here. Maybe your friends are getting acceptances, and talking them up at school? Maybe the novelty has worn off, and you are itchy to move on (senior year), or someone says a thoughtless comment that makes you wonder “what if.” As posted in #14 you have had this news for several months – maybe you are restless? Your wonderful news seems anticlimactic after the exhilaration of all those standardized tests, apps and essays, college visits, etc? I will make a prediction: in 4 months, it will no longer be an issue for you. You will be wrapped up in graduation, then on your own for the summer. In 6 months you will be so wrapped up in your new life, you will look back and laugh at your own second thoughts.
