How do you guys think I'll do???? I'm very nervous because I really want to go to Penn but I know the acceptance rate is so low. I've really tried to make myself a desirable student but I know I can only do so much and a lot of very qualified students get rejected all the time. It's stressing me out so much! I need an opinion from someone other than my mom, who believes I'll get a full ride to the university of my choice, no problem. I'm afraid I'm going to give myself a stroke, I think about college so much. Please help me out!
P.S. Idk if this helps, but I am planning on possibly double majoring in Creative Writing and a more practical science. Know any other universities with good cw and science programs that I might have a shot at???
