        Yay for community colleges with transfer degrees for automatic admission!

          Don't lose hope yet. If you are really worried about it, try applying for other colleges if the deadlines are not already exceeded. Oh, and you'll hate college even more when you're actually there (at least that's my story).

            Don't sweat it. I got rejected by my first choice even though I was over qualified (there was something weird going on with that, but the DOD won't tell you why you were rejected). Ended up getting accepted into all of my other schools and went to my third choice (due to a full scholarship offer). Honestly its pretty good. As long as you do what you like to do in college and make some awesome friends it really doesn't mater where you end up, it will all end up being the same anyway more or less.

                Don't worry about it. I applied to five schools, got rejected by four of them. I ended up at my absolute last resort safety school, and while I was bitter at the time, I ended up loving it. I'm still here, almost two years later, and I can't imagine myself anywhere else.

                No matter where you end up, go in to it with a positive attitude and you'll end up happy.

                          Tufts was my brothers number one school. He got rejected, with a 1450 on his SAT. I guess that's what you get for not turning in homework...

                          If that's one of your safety schools though... what's your number one pick?

                            i got into 3 safety schools, *and* tufts.

                            my first choice was olin college of engineering, thats out the window. now my top 2 choices are cooper union and caltech, both of which waitlisted me.

                              I applied to one school, just one. Stupidest decision of my life.
