Applying anxiety help

I'm in my third semester of undergrad and getting ready to apply for fall 2018. I was told by a counselor from one school to apply to their program for the upcoming spring semester (i just did) which has made me think about applying even more and I'm TERRIFIED I'm not gonna get accepted anywhere. I have a 3.5 GPA as of last year (I got a 4.0 last semester tho), I work full time, I volunteer at the ER every week and I'm a part of clubs. I've gotten all As on my pre reqs so far except one B but I'm terrified. Does anyone know what I can do in order to try and calm my fears? I want to do nursing more than anything. It's my passion and I'm so scared of not getting to my dream.

    What you described sounds AMAZING. I don't think you should worry at all because I know people who have gotten into very competitive schools with minimal extra curricular and a 2.75 GPA. You sound like the PERFECT candidate. Schools look for people with grades like yours and with a background like yours. It puts you ahead of the game compared to others because of experience and it shows dedication as well. That's something the school will definitely focus on. If you're still worried you can call up an adviser and discuss your fears because they will tell you what I just told you. Best of luck on getting into the nursing program!

    Thank you so much! This made me feel so so much better, thank you! I'm currently in chem and algebra so I guess that's why I'm stressed because they're not my best subjects but I just have to keep studying.

    I was certain I wouldn't get into either program I applied for - but I got into both (and your stats are better than mine were). I honestly have no tips on how to manage it. I ate all my feelings, and I don't recommend it.

    Thank you! I think waiting is all I can do, honestly. I'm glad you got into your desired programs! :)

    I'm in the same position right now actually, so I understand! Good luck in your remaining classes!
