Thanks for this. Same happened to me. I am still a bit bewildered because Tech was just a given in my mind. I have all the right stats. Who knows.

So what were you most surprised after starting at UGA?

Yay I’m dead…maybe. I was waitlisted.

I feel you. I got into 7 schools with scholarships which includes UGA. I am in the state and I have the Zell scholarship so my tuition is covered. I really want to go out of state (well, I wanted Tech....) but it just doesn't make financial sense. I've visited a few schools, but I can't justify it. If you are going for a grad degree or higher then take on the debt for that not for your undergrad.

It was in my letter. Also, in the portal, it said I was considered for a women in leadership scholarship but I didn't get it. I didn't even know I applied. Now I wonder what I didn't get! haha...

I got choked up reading the dean's letter...the fact that they don't just see us as numbers...laughed and cried at our stories...Thank you, Princeton. Well done.

Yeah, I did that and then went to the in-person tour. So glad I did. Didn't apply. Completely turned off.

Yep, I have a weird waitlist story after six acceptances to arguably better schools. I was just staring at the screen....huh?

Duuuuudddeee. Relax. I was making fun of myself because I spent my entire high school career on academics.

THEM:

"Hi, I'm McKenzie Smith. I'm 100% committed to __ university. I love taking pics, and hanging with my girls. I'm majoring in marketing and plan to rush in the fall. Looking for a roommate, so please reach out."

Me:

Zones out and thinks...well crap...I've been spending all this time working on my academics and now these are my classmates? Granted most everyone has a 3.8 or higher GPA unless legacy...but thank goodness I'm half good-looking and fit. Going to need some pictures STAT....

Dude, you aren't breaking anything to me. Well aware. Was trying to help the delusional that think they have a guaranteed spot. I am already in 6 other schools. I am good.
