What worries you most about trying to get accepted at a well-known, respected college / university?
E. Other





I already applied to and attended college, so I may not be your target audience, but my main concern was different from those you have listed.





I had so many people who believed in me throughout high school and who thought I could do just about anything - teachers, parents, friends, you name it. I was terrified of applying to top schools and then getting rejected by some or all of them, and having to face these people. I wanted to live up to everyone's expectations, even though I knew I wasn't everything they believed me to be.





In the end, it all worked out, but that was honestly the most worrisome part of the whole process for me.
Reply:not going to a state college. univiersities and private universities are better. going to community college is ok, but im going to make sure i go to a university and not a state school.





another worry is getting a degree in something im going to need for my job. it would be a waste of time to get a degree in pychology, then work in a human resource, or be a private banker. then youd have to go back and get a finance degree or a human resource degree
Reply:C, most definitely. It was the sole influence in my choice for a college.





Money talks. College is a business. Bitches.
