College advice/question... please help!?

So I'm applying for this pretty high-ranked college in a neighboring state. It's relatively close, though, and it's the college I really really want to go to.





But, my worst enemy since grade school is also applying there. I don't know if she is applying early decision or not, (because I might be), but I don't want to end up with her again. I really can't deal with her anymore.





We have almost identical credentials and such (GPA, standaradized test scores, extra currics, etc). Is there a really good chance that we will end up in the college together?





Note: Almost 22,000 people apply to my college and only around 4000 are accepted, so is there really a good chance that both of us (from the same school and with same credentials) will get accepted? Or will they most likely decide between the two of us? We're both great students.





I would really appreciate some help!

Just a personal opinion...if this school is what you really want, don't base it on anyone else. College is such a growing period, you two may not be the same people by the time you leave there. There were a few people I hated from my class trying to get into the same school that I did but I didn't even think twice about them.





It's your life and time to get over the concept of "worst enemies" and do what you need to do without worrying about the silly stuff. There's such a big world outside of high school and if you drop your dreams for something so trivial, then you're never going be able to grow up as a person.








Besides, even if the person got in, it doesn't mean they're going to go there. The college is going to look at you individually, not based on where you come from. You may both get in, you may not but you'll never know unti you try.
Reply:Honestly I don't know why your worried. College is not like high school. Most campuses have 20,000+ students. Even if you both get accepted you might never even see her. Chances are you wont have the same major or be in the same classes. You'll have your own circle of friends and hangouts that will have nothing to do with this other girl. I would suggest you forget about this other chick and focus on your own application.
Reply:When you go to college, you make new friends and enemies. If she's there, you might not even see her... You'll make new friends and realize that your feelings toward your "worst enemy" won't be as strong anymore. Apply to that school! Who knows? Despite similar credentials, you never know who will get in and who won't. You don't really know everything she has on her little high school resume. So don't worry about it. Just apply and pray. ^^
Reply:Well, there is a chance...but I wouldn't worry about it. I mean, it's not like you're going to a community college where you're bound to run into her atlease everyday. YOu guys might cross paths but who cares? Don't give up your dream just because she is going there. Don't accomodate her and don't worry about her. I love having enemies...I mean, I don't hate anyone but I love being hated on because that means that someone spends their time thinking about me and wishing they can be me...hehehe! No, but seriously girl, don't sweat it. Leave all that high school drama at graduation. Their is far more things to worry about in life after you graduate than your high school enemy. If you see her around school, just smile and wave. That'll inimidate her and let her know that you're not afraid of her and your the bigger person! Good luck and I wish you the best! :)
Reply:Yes, there's a chance. Do it anyway if this is the best place for you. This is about your future. So go for it. This person is not part of your future. You'll mix in with a whole new group anyway.


Never let another person have influence over the best decisions for yourself. Good luck, and study hard!
Reply:Make application to the school along with applying to your second choice. Await the results. If you both make it then you have to determine if you are going to let your education and the rest of your life be determined by one other person.





If you do that is quite a bit of power that you have given this person over your life. You will find out in life that there are folk who are very difficult to deal with and for some reason they are put right smack in the middle of our road. You can turn around and walk away...but somehow or another some other person will take their place.





If I could suggest to you that you simply just ignore this person from this point on in your life...concentrate on your life and no matter what this person says or does just let it flow over and wash away...I think you will be the better for it.





Good luck to you.
Reply:Yes, there is a likely chance that she will get accepted if you do. However, it is very unlikely that you will ever see her. It's not like high school where you see people in the halls and such. Unless you somehow magically end up with some classes together (unlikely, again) I think you'll be fine. If you do have class(es) with her, transfer. There is no reason your college experience should be unhappy because of her. Good luck!
