I am an incoming freshman at Purdue studying Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology and Women's and Gender Studies going for pre-med and pre-public health. I was wondering if I could get some advising from people (rlly need it)? If I can pm you I have a bajillion questions lol
my senior yr was horrible for me i would say because of the way i was being treated at home genuinely drove me insane. prior to my senior year i had the go big or go home mindset and so i only applied to extreme reaches and my two safeties. the one safety i really liked i didn’t get into their honors college for and while people may say it’s not a big deal every single person with a pulse and semi good stats from my school had practically gotten in. and i don’t mean to sound obnoxious but i definitely think i had the stats to get in. anyways while going absolutely crazy because my parents wouldn’t let me leave my house for anything wouldn’t let me pursue extracurriculars forcing religion on me not letting me see my friends all these things i started feeling so much regret. now i just want to get far, far away be happy and pursue my true ambitions. and I know that if i had made a more balanced list I could have gotten good merit money at a good school. (1520 sat, top 10% good ecs). now I’m committed to my safety school that is close to home and i just feel so depressed. like I’ve lost all motivation I don’t know what to do im so lost and depressed and nothing feels right. i already feel like I want to transfer. I am doing premed and pre public health. could anyone give any advice i really need it i am just beyond lost right now. in the worst mental place ever. i looked into rolling admissions but they’re practically all closed now. i wish i applied to schools like umiami that give good merit aid. I am kind of thinking of transferring but only if i get good merit aid and im also lowkey scared of my academics suffering or the way others will view me.
I have an unsafe living situation and I really want to get out of state. For my own personal good. I mean I genuinely think I am going to end up taking my life being in my current situation any longer. I had a really unfortunate application cycle (pretty sure my parents tampered with it someway through my school counselor) and got rejected oos everywhere and only got into my safeties. Long story short my only waitlist is umich but the acceptance rate off the waitlist seems so daunting. Do you think emailing my regional ao with this updated piece of information could sway anything. I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to guilt trip, I really do have good stats (ex:1530 sat) but I’m feeling so desperate because I’m struggling so much.
