Was I reaching too far?
I’m an intl student and mostly applied to top liberal arts colleges. I just received a rejection letter from berea and it was like one of my safest options. I really thought I would get in based on my comparison of Berea’s average GPAs and SAT score of like 1250 but now i’m doubting i’ll get to any school. I applied to Amherst, Bowdoin, Wellesley, Wesleyan, Smith, Skidmore and so on. I’ve got a 3.9 unweighted GPA. 1430 SAT, 1460 if superscored. 35 points in IB but was the best from my class and my ECs are pretty normal but I demonstrated depth in sustainability and environmental issues with a litter cleanup initiative and a recycling program. I’m kind of very worried I’ll get rejected from every other school too.
Edit: Berea was not a safety, just “safest” in the US. I still have pretty good backup in my home country.
Also, thanks for your support <3
