<p>Is anyone facing a realization that they are probably going to end up attending a college that they actually aren’t crazy about–whether it be because you got rejected from your top choice, or that this place was originally a top choice, but now you aren’t as crazy about it as you used to be?</p>
<p>OR, possibly, because some significant personal change has taken place in your outlook or ambitions since applying to said college?</p>
<p>[or any other reason]</p>
<p>Oh, and for future reference: I never applied to Columbia. Can we please NOT resurrect that dumb thread I started? This really doesn’t relate.</p>
<p>I used to be afraid of not going to Yale, and the thought killed me. Then, in belligerent retaliation, I began looking at other schools. Soon enough, I came to love a bunch of other schools almost as much as Yale, and now I’m perfectly comfortable. I’d be very happy at Cornell, Chicago, George Washington, and Michigan, to name a few (although I’d go to Yale over any of them any day).</p>
<p>The trick is to either be crazy about a bunch of schools (like me!) or none of your schools (like my friend, who got into most of her schools and still doesn’t care haha).</p>
