Sometimes, the admissions process can be touchy, people often compare themselves to their peers around them which can often be misleading. The most important thing to know is you are going to end up where you need to be in the end, even if it may not be the college you expected to end up attending.
Visiting colleges is very important when applying, and more importantly when you get acceptance letters back.
College acceptances don't define you ... College is a time for growth, so once you find out where you're accepted, reach out to kids from other schools once you get your college acceptance. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself.
After all of the stress of application season and right as the celebration of acceptances starts, a denial can hit you like a jam-packed moving van full of dorm supplies. Your grief after being denied from your dream school will likely follow the pattern of any other form of grief. Look out for these signs in yourself or any close friends that might get that sickening, thin envelope of a denial from a dream school.
I want to talk to you today about choosing between your college acceptances. This is a very big decision that a lot of high school students have to make around this time.
If you were accepted to 2 schools or 10 schools, you have a choice to make of where to go for a higher education for the next four years. This choice may be easy, or the hardest choice of your life. Let me start by saying no matter where you go, it’ll be a good fit for you. You were accepted by the school that’ll soon be your alma mater.
