You and tens of thousands of others might be competitive, but you will possibly not get into your top choices. That’s the way the game works. You may well have lost. You aren’t excited about Emory, why did you apply? You had safeties, but what about your matches? It’s not either tippy top reach schools, or safeties, with hardly anything in between, especially with Tulane.
You should have put more effort inot match schools that you liked and had a good shot of getting into, and it seems like you didn’t. Sorry to sound harsh, but at least you have colleges to go to. Come back to this board in early April and you will see a few posts enititled “I didn’t get in anywhere.”
