<p>Tangosmom, yes I get it. However, having an acceptance at a good school should help a lot.<br>
Casablancama, why did your parents let you apply? Perhaps they were hoping for a full scholarship. Have you applied to enough schools overall? No matter how good one’s credentials are, there’s a lot of chance in the process, so it’s best to apply to some schools where you are pretty likely to be accepted in addition to the reach schools. It’s all very stressful!</p>
