Does it ever hurt to have a plan b? And who knows, maybe one of those colleges will become your number 1 choice. You never know, and besides, why turn them down?

I mean no it doesn't hurt to have a plan b but I'm really hoping for Mississippi State University.

M State! Good choice! I'm guessing you're looking locally? What program are you looking at?

nursing

Mississippi State IS known for its good nursing program. Have you looked at Alcorn or Robert Smith University yet? (As safeties)

Hi @katelynn_ni2021,

Waiting for 1 college to connect when others are asking you to connect might sound logical to you. I think it depends on whether the other colleges are on your hit list. If they are, then by all means connect to them because that will just increase your chances of getting accepted. But if they are not on your list of colleges that you wish to apply to, ignore those requests after double-checking that you are not interested in them.

But what if they are in a different state? I mean I graduate in 2026 but I still want to look at colleges. Am I starting to early?

[🎤 AUTHOR]@katelynn_ni20212 years ago

Yes, they are in different states. No, it's not to early. you could always look and see your options and what'd they'd be. Good luck on looking!

Hello to answer your question, accept them anyway as your opinion might change about the specific college you are waiting for.

Well, I kinda am trying to wait for Mississippi State University. But I might accept one of them I have anyways.

@forever_silent2 years ago

I understand, you can always research the college before accepting as well.

[🎤 AUTHOR]@katelynn_ni20212 years ago
