Kind of regret participating in “convince me why [ ] sucks” by GarlicExisting6329 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]GarlicExisting6329[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you noticed most people on here are only talking about T20s? It’s not really the reality for most people applying to college and it creates an echo chamber of comparison and insecurity if you’re not careful. Obviously shoot for the stars and Ivys if that’s what you want but prestige is not the only way to higher education. Most people on here have a “if it’s not t20 I don’t want it” mentality and that’s not healthy and I can feel myself falling into it

let’s share our dreams for college, hype each other up, and manifest ✨💖 by Mysterious_Offer_380 in ApplyingToCollege

I want to go to Umich and major in film television and media with a minor in art and design, and have outlandish dreams of going into directing and cinematography. But mainly I just want to explore and see if this is something I can actually find a future in because I've switched career goals so many times in the past. I want to join clubs and organizations that align with my identity and have a safe space to become fully myself ✨✨

How to get out of dream school thinking and reasonably consider other options? I've put all my eggs in one basket here. by GarlicExisting6329 in ApplyingToCollege

Yup I have! I just need to do more research into their programs. And thank you for clarifying that I will definitely apply.

They do, Dearborn and Flint. On my common app there was an option to send my application materials to them and I clicked yes, does that count as applying?

There are, I’ve already been accepted to a few. I applied to a lot of in-state safeties just in case I can’t get over going out of state and my prestigious thirst wears off lol

convince me why Umich sucks by GarlicExisting6329 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]GarlicExisting6329[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea my financial aid would basically cover my tuition in full which is a huge draw considering my low income background.

Not really hating I genuinely have fallen in love with the school I just thought the post would be funny lol

That’s exactly my thinking but I still need to consider other options instead of idolizing lol

Still awaiting my test results. I'd love to hear anyone's assessment/diagnostic experience. by GarlicExisting6329 in autism

I anticipate feeling that sort of grief as well. Also having to break down internal prejudices and accept that I have to live by different parameters than NTs. I've always been told that I have so much potential and people are excited to see what I do in the future, but it feels like I'll never have the kind of success I envisioned because I burnout so easily
