I feel like I won't get in ANYWHERE.

Applying to College
81

<p>Yes I too am in a horrible situation. I applied to 2 safeties, 2 matches and one reach. I was rejected from one of my match schools! I’ve given up on my reach school (even though I won’t hear back until April) and already sent in housing for my 2nd choice. </p>

<p>I would say its better to have your confidence be lower so that you will be happier when you get accepted or be less sad when rejected. I was too confident about my match schools, and when I was rejected from one of them it was like a slap on the face bringing me back to reality.</p>

<p>Trust me, its better to be insecure than overly confident.</p>

<p>im a sophomore and i feel like I won’t get in anywhere</p>

83

<p>Sophmore in college or high school?</p>

84

<p>Um…they’re probably in high school. I don’t think many college students suffer from the anxiety quite as bad as us high schoolers. : )</p>

<p>And getting into a good grad school isn’t as competitive as undergrad.</p>

85

<p>anyone have any info on mental illness rates among college applicants?</p>

86

<p>College applicants are most likely more insane than your average Joe, I bet.</p>

<p>So…36 days until I get rejected from all of my reaches. Yes!!!</p>

<p>A thread after my own heart :smiley:
I’ve already been rejected by one of my reaches and am waiting for decisions from 4r, 6m. No safeties at all. UGH! And I’m an international seeking aid.</p>
