I'm basically a nontrad, I've received secondaries from UCLA, UCI, UCSD, Kaiser and Stanford. But I'm feeling paralyzed by fear to the point I'm feeling like giving up cuz I hate rejections :/ Before college a took a fashion design class that summer to see if fashion design is right for me. When I found out it wasn't, I quit during the last week of the 3 weeks course. And since the final grade is based on the final project, I got an F. Never would I forsee that I could to haunt me. I'm writing my secondaries now but this past mistake is haunting me. My final GPA due to the F, which I know isn't bad. Should I be worried about this F that's before college? is secondaries a good sign that I shouldn't worry? should I be prepared for why I got an F in that fashion design course pre freshman year? also, if you guys have any idea for school list, especially those that recruit LGBT students and favor nontrad that'd be great <3 many thanks
And also, thank you for listening. As a nontrad I have no one to bounce these ideas off with, so these anxiety tends to balloon in my head too. so any input from y'all is appreciated very much <3
