<p>Please don’t sell yourself short. You can do it! I know plenty of kids who test well and bomb out in college. If you work hard and believe in yourself, you can do anything!</p>
<p>Just make sure you do apply to some “safety” schools, but again, not selling yourself short. Unfortunately, those tippy top schools just look at the numbers and don’t give many deserving students a chance to even enter their ranks and give it a try. I think it really stinks, and I know many students, like my son, who were rejected as undergrads and won’t even apply for grad school at schools that they really want to go to and could probably even gain admittance based on their undergrad experience. So, if you don’t get in your dream school for undergrad, don’t cross it off as a possible grad school option.</p>
