Forget a “dream school.” Have many choices that you love.

Do what you love in hs.

No chance threads. I tried and it sucks.

Don’t be on CC a lot. This place can be poisonous. I was here so long that I became nearly crazed and was angry/bitter at the school I’ll be attending come fall simply because I wanted my “dream school(s).”
Just don’t.

Don’t become an HYPSMCYTSVZKDLDN hivemind. I applied to Ivies I didn’t like for the name. Don’t.

If you’re URM know that, despite what EVERYONE says, it doesn’t cover up a crap app (rhyming ftw).

Don’t pad your app. It’s pathetic. Be genuine. If you get rejected, so be it.
