Waiting for college admissions decisions is a boring and stressful time for students, parents and counselors - basically anyone involved in the admissions process.
The results will be out soon so don't stress out. Results tend to come between March 15 and April 15. April Fools day is as good a day as any to receive your college letter
Here are some things to do to pass the time
- DONT PANIC or STRESS OUT - At this stage there is no benefit to getting excited.
- DO Not call the university - Harassing the admissions committe or getting someone else to call on your behalf is not going to have any impact. Actually it could backfire if you annoy someone too muc
- Stay confident. You are smart, hardworking and generally awesome - You will get in to college. For fun invent a fictitious university."I got into 'Belle and Sebastian University.' It sounds good just to say it.
- Write Thank You notes - you should have done this already for the teachers who helped you with college - but everyone likes being appreciated. This will be your last few months of school - thank all the teachers and staff you can.
- Spend time with friends. You will be miles away from your best friends in a few months - hang out together and enjoy
- Learn something for fun - like photography, cooking or a new language.
- Dont let your grades drop. You studied too hard to screw up in your final year.
- Check out if your preferred colleges have days to host accepted students. You may want to visit campuses before deciding
- Get your funds ready to pay a deposit at a great university. One semesters fees typically.
There you go- this should keep you busy for the next month.
I sense a celebration soon.
