This is a stressful time for seniors who are still waiting to hear back from the schools where they applied. Interestingly, college admissions officers are also nervous. They are trying to figure out which students to accept and how to guess with today's economic times which students will actually attend if offered the opportunity.
For the younger students, this is a good time to remind you that colleges are keeping track of every contact and interaction you have with them. They want to know that you are interested and that applying to their school is something you have investigated and feel like it would be a good fit. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that you should call a school multiple times a week - that would definitely get on their nerves, but they want students who are truly interested. You can show that by meeting with their admissions representatives when they come to WKHS or to the Columbus area, participating in "optional" interviews and essays, and visiting their campus.
The reality is that there are no guarantees in college admissions and if you will get accepted or not is always a guessing game as colleges do their best to get as close to their target number of new students with their acceptances. Even though this is stressful, it really will all work out in the end.
