Dear College Applicants,
I think it’s around Early Decision/Action time, as well as time for everyone to finish up college applications, so I just wanted to share a few tips on how to go about this process.
1. Try your best to stay calm. No matter what, at the end of this, you will end up somewhere.
2. If you’re dream school costs too much, don’t sacrifice everything to go. A degree is a degree. Get it, then maybe look into your dream school for grad if you chose to do so.
3. Your first destination isn’t necessarily your final destination. You CAN transfer schools if you don’t like where you end up.
4. Make sure you’re comfortable with your decision. If you have a feeling you wont like it there, don’t succumb to pressure from anyone else. No one knows you better than you know yourself.
And for those of you who didn’t get into that dream school:
Your worth is not determined based on who chose to accept you. All of your accomplishments in your life cannot not be projected into your SAT scores and GPA. It’s their loss. You will do great things and thrive anywhere. It’s not about where you go, it’s about what you do there.
