If you applied to your first choice school Early Decision you should be getting some mail this week! I am sure you have already been stalking the mail man every day anticipating an acceptance letter. I remember getting my early decision acceptance right before Christmas my senior year of high school. I could not have been more excited!
When you apply early decision three things can happen: you can be accepted, you can be rejected, and you can be deferred.
If you are accepted, congratulations! You deserve it! You have worked really hard for four years and not you can celebrate all of your hard work. You can go through the rest of your senior year without having to worry about any more college applications.
If you are rejected, keep your head held high and carry on! It really is not the end of the world even though it might seem like it right now. Make sure you send out the rest of your applications immediately, and remember that there is another school for you out there.
If you are deferred, all hope is not lost! There is still a very good chance that you will get in. Right now it is important for you to send out the rest of your applications and finish out your senior year on a strong foot. Your first choice school will want to see that you have maintained your good grades and followed through with all of your commitments.
Whatever the outcome ends up being trust that your college search has served you well and remember that you will eventually end up at the right college or university.
