So I'm only applying to two schools, and since I wasn't eligible for any waivers, I can finally apply to one tomorrow because I have the money. I know I'm going to get into this school (they accept 84% of their applicants and EVERYONE gets into this school around here), but I still feel uneasy. I'm applying to another school in Jan, but I'm underqualified for that one. I'm overqualified for the school that I'm applying to tomorrow. The school that's a perfect fit for me - it's 6 hours away, and my mom definitely isn't having that. She's never lived more than 20 minutes for any of her kids (it's just me and my brother), so 6 hours is tough. If I get into the school that's a bit of a reach for me, that's 4 hours away, but I'm gonna stay there for 4 years. The school I'm underqualified for? I plan on attending it for 2 years, and then transferring to the school I really want to go to, the one that's 6 hours away. Hmm.

Why go to a school that you're overqualified for? Push yourself.

Pushing myself is even applying to the school that I don't think I'm good enough for. Do I deserve to go to this school? Yes, very much so. Do I look good enough on paper? No, not compared to the president of NHS who scored a 2290 on the SAT.
