Admissions Advice

How happy/mentally healthy are you at your ivy/selective university? (please please be genuine!)

I know that every college is different which is why 3+ responses would be helpful. As someone who goes to a really selective high school and is already struggling a bit with anxiety, I feel like this is a really under-discussed topic. Thanks in advance! :)

I think you might have better luck if you watch some youtube videos on Ivy students.

I found them very useful.

If you can find a group of like-minded friends, it makes attending a rigorous school easier.

The ones who seem to struggle are perhaps less inclined to get involved in clubs, Greek life, and leadership positions.

99% of the CV audience are High School students versus college students. If there are still college students on here, remember that not very many have attended IVY schools already.
