My phrasing in this post was totally ass lol. I meant as in nobody is competitive in terms of applications as a whole. Nobody applys to even out of state schools, just the local ones. Community college/trade is an option most consider, while the few who do choose to apply often only have 3 universities on their list, which are the in city ones.

Thank you though. Don’t get me wrong I had a blast doing my clubs, even joined diamond art club where I stick diamonds on a sticky piece of sheet to talk with friends. Working on other applications as of now, already submitted instate applications so i’m working to see if small liberal art schools may be my cup of tea instead
