I’m so excited right now I could cry. On Monday, I got an email saying that I had been accepted into the program I had been waitlisted for! The next day was a family day where we got a bit of information, and today was our first day of orientation. This has been my dream for so long and I am so over the moon happy right now. This was my #1 choice, and also the only program out of the 6 that I had applied to that I got into.

I’ve applied to 6 different programs. It’s incredibly competitive where I live (SF Bay Area) and so far I have been rejected by 4. Yesterday I got an email informing me that I am #18 on the waitlist for my local community college. They said my application was highly competitive, and to go ahead and start getting my paperwork ready in case they reach out. This is so huge for me, as this campus is only 10 minutes away from my house so obviously my #1 choice just for convenience sake. It’s also one of the cheapest programs I applied to. Everyone is congratulating me as if I’m already in, and telling me to stay hopeful. I’ve been struggling. I want this so badly, and I am so anxious about not ending up in the program. They said they would be accepting waitlisted students up until June 20th, so I have over a month of living as a ball of anxiety
