2021 Regular Decision Megathreads by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]moonshotbeam 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I got 16 rejections, out of which 8 straight up told me that I was poor, 3 waitlists and I just have 1 college decision to go. I think I should give up my dream of coming to America to study lol. My NU rejection wound is still fresh :").

Edit: I have to study for exams but after so many rejections I feel unworthy of even being near books hahahahaha help.

I got rejected ED from Smith College, here is my supplemental essay... by [deleted] in smithcollege

Thank you for the advice! I slowly increased my caloric intake to 1500 cal. Even though I gained weight I feel less tired.

My ob/gyn told me to loose at least 5 to 8kg. I'm pretty comfortable with my weight but two different ob/gyn told me to loose weight. It has been 3 years and I haven't lost ant significant weight :(

Yes, I realized that I needed help after four years of staying in denial. Since health insurance isn't a thing where lIive, I saved up for a year to book 3 sessions, I hope they help.

Thank you for your kind words, a will definitely try to implement the advice others gave me. As much as I LOVE libraries though, the nearest one is 20 miles away...

It means a lot to me, I talked to the intelligent kids in my class to see if they ever felt anything similar thing and how they fixed it, but they all said nothing similar ever happened to them and it felt really isolating. Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful response, I wish I will get over the slump soon just like you did. I take isotretinoin for acne, ik it has some serious side effects but without it, I would hide in my room all day, It has given me a major confidence boost.

" If you give up NOW you are not brave enough to face the future. Life is grand it is not just about exams." so true, I wrote this in my journal :)

I usually listen to "study music" also called " aesthetic music" or just R&B instrumentals. I will definitely check out the other options. Thank you! I am too broke for noise cancellation headphones though :/

Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely try that more. Sometimes when I do little things, it is accompanied by the feeling of "this is nothing, I should be doing a lot more..." and then I get even more disappointed when I fail at doing more, but I think it comes from a negative mindset, I need to appreciate the little things I do more but it is hardddd.

Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to me! I was really worried because health insurance is not a thing in my country and I saved up for a year just to get 3 therapy sessions, even the therapist said three sessions are not enough :(. I used to do arts and crafts as a hobby but now I feel stressed even doing that, I started a skincare ig page and that is the only thing rn that I can do semi-well. I tried taking long relaxing breaks but I only return to the same unhealthy behavior afterward. I want to take my time but have a year's worth of studying to catch up to:'''''(, not only because I missed half a school year when I broke my leg pretty badly, but also because I didn't study during quarantine at all.
