im 17 and a HS senior.
1)i went to a conference the other night called "40 colleges that change lives".now it makes me feel like if look at any other college than the ones on that list, i am making a mistake. how do i get over that thought?? i know that that list was made by one person(loren pope) and their opinion, but i still feel as if those are the best colleges and i have to go to one of them.
2)i have done well academically in school, straight A's,etc. Its been hard work and the whole time i thought "i am doing this to get into a good college". lately, i realized that a good college is different for everyone, its not just UCLA or Berkeley that will define a great education(im in cali). So if I am looking at a small liberal arts college that accepts people with lower grades than me, i feel i shouldnt apply there. i feel i have great grades, and that i should only go to a college that i got into cuz how well i did in HS. I know its a wrong way to think, how can i get over this?
