Please pull yourself together and start to move forward. Start by changing your screen name. People who have been accepted at WashU, BC, and NYU are most definitely not losers. Not getting into your dream school is a painful disappointment, but don’t it that derail your life. And be realistic - nine out of ten people who apply to Brown do not get in. I know several outstanding students who did not get into Brown this year. It happens. And you know what? This isn’t the last time you won’t get your dream. You know what else? Life has a way or working out just fine anyway.
You have worked very hard in high school and have accomplished much. You’re almost there - just hold on a little longer and you’re done! I’ll second the suggestion of others and say that if you can’t snap out of this, and soon, by yourself, please talk to a counselor or therapist as soon as possible.
Get in a good habit. You will have disappointments in life. Those that can work through them an march
on are the successful ones.
My youngest wanted to go to the same Ivy as his older brother but did not get in.
He moved on immediately and IMO ended up at a better school school.
Be excited, I know people at WUSTL, and have only heard great things…don’t get down.
Disappointment is tough to handle, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience with it. Be sad, be mad, then work on getting excited about your choices (which I agree, are awesome). Go to the forums here for those schools. Go to accepted student events if you can.
If after all that you still aren’t feeling it, pick one and ask to defer a year or reject them all, take a gap year and re-apply next year.
Don’t neglect the school work though. You’ll need it for any of those options. TO take an offer you already have you really only need to pass/do decently. To reapply next year you need more than that.
Look into the future, imagine yourself working at a job you went to college for. Imagine being in your cubicle. Look around you at your colleagues. Can you tell where they graduated from? Now imagine one of them graduated from Brown. Is he/she in a better position from you? I bet not. You will be doing the similar tasks, earning similar salaries.
College is just 4-6 years, but after college you will be working for 3-4 decades. Where you graduated from will only be in conversations for the first few years. After that it will be about how well you do your tasks.
