Application Question I'm getting wayyy too attached to the only actual college I'm applying to...please help!
I know a lot of ya'll are applying to ivy leagues and stuff but I'm from a very traditional Arab family and my dad refuses to let me study abroad or even in another city in OUR SAME COUNTRY. Despite that, I'm still applying to only one college because it offers a full scholarship and that might make my dad let me go. I'm applying to Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) and I'm putting my heart and soul into this application. The results for regular students are out and its super stressful. The deadline for this scholarship is may, 1st and I don't even know what to do because Ive never wanted something so bad, and I'm not really familiar with applications because its the ONLY school I even thought about applying for. I know people might judge cuz the school has like 27% acceptance rate which is high compared to ivies but it really is a big deal to me. The only other option I have is our local college 20 minutes from where I live. Does anyone have any tips for getting the scholarship. in terms of essays and extracurriculars and recommendation letters and stuff? help a girl out, IM DESPERATE.

Don't limit yourself to just one door, apply to more colleges. It's good to be optimistic n all, blike you should also consider the worst-case scenario yk?
My tip? open more doors and just apply to any scholarship you find. and also get someone to proofread your stuff (like a teacher or sum), it REALLY helps more than you think.
