Do you ever feel discouraged when your getting ready to apply?

Have you ever felt this way, and at the end you actually got accepted somewhere? Im looking at 5 universities im going to apply for and maybe 3 community colleges, even though im currently attending a CSU. im almost done with my pre reqs. but when im getting closer to apply i feel very discouraged almost like its unrealistic to gett accepted anywhere because any school for nursing is so competitive, and hard to get into. My first semester in college i got all staright A's and comming to the end of this semester im looking at staright A's as well, im a freshman, im always ahead doing research of colleges, already been studying for my tease test etc. Academically im good standing. but i dont know why i put my self down alot. have you ever felt this way and at the end you suprised your self and got accepted somewhere?

I felt very discouraged as I was applying to nursing schools late last year and earlier this year. I felt that I wasn't competitive mostly because of my grades. I applied to two private schools, one public school, and one at a community college. In the end, I got into all but one of the programs. I'll be attending a program at one of the CSU's in Southern California. Sometimes, you'd be surprised that you are actually a competitive applicant! You won't know until you get that letter! Good luck to you!
