Final Letters

I received my final letters from colleges. One was a no and the other was a maybe as a transfer student (aka if I went somewhere else first for a year). And from the third (a college in my state) I was given the option to be wait listed. I chose to be waitlisted.

Oh college, the stressful process is coming to a close! EDIT: In the end I was accepted to the college in my state but I have chosen to go to a school in VA. It was the one I wrote about in my last post "Finding a college is like finding true love"

Got Accepted!!!/ Writing A College Essay

There is nothing like that feeling of getting accepted to your first college. I've gotten into two. Both, I applied to early action. You finally feel better. You can breath a sigh of relief. Someone wants you. Somewhere there is a college that wants you. It's such a good feeling. Because honestly, you are putting yourself out there. But the only part of you that makes you you in your application is the essay. You have to pop out a killer essay. You have to try to find something to write about that no one else will. It's tough. But make a list of everything you could write about (believe me, there will be a lot) and then write mini essays about each topic. Then, when you are done you'll realize which topic you like the most.
