Thank you for the advice! To clarify, I’m sure my LOR and essay are good. I wasn’t really thinking of them in terms of grading like a C or a B. I think I wrote really good essays and I feel like I have really good relationships with my teachers and counselor. I just figure that every other student applying to these schools feels the same, and in the grand scheme of things they’re probably not as good as I think they are, so I kinda knocked them down a bit from how much I personally like them.
Also I LOVE UMass Amherst so I’m not worried about ending up somewhere I don’t want to go, more so just worried about how bad rejection is gonna feel. Its just a nerve-wracking process and it’s easy to get myself worked up, even though I know that I’d be very happy at UMass
Anyways your right, I need to take my mind off things by doing cool and helpful stuff. Gonna finish my apps up this weekend but for now ima go Christmas shopping and maybe make cookies. Thank you again!!
