So I got rejected from both programs I had lined up and applied to. I have a few options, but was really hoping you guys would have many more.

I could take two classes online from ArtOfProblemSolving.com, they would help me prepare for math olympiads and contests, and I would certainly enjoy them.

I also could take a course from EPGY, whether it be a Physics or Math, but either is appealing.

Another option is to just relax, but I'd feel guilty about doing this.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Try to intern, or get a job. If not, volunteer.

Experience isn't really an option anymore it seems, especially if you wind up having to get a job after college.
