<p>don’t be discouraged. there are so many fine schools out there with very high acceptance rate. focus on what you want and where you think you can thrive. are you better suited for a large state school, like Florida State, Indiana or Arizona. do you need a smaller school with a more nurturing environment, like any one of scores of small liberal arts colleges with high acceptance rates (e.g., college of wooster). would you prefer being at a historically black college, like several schools. in other words, focus on what is important to you and where you think you can thrive and develop and then look within that.</p>
