Stuck Between Options: Seeking Advice

[dtl42]

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.

I can understand the disappointment of being rejected from programs that you were hoping to be a part of. It can be frustrating to feel like you have limited options, but I would encourage you to see this as an opportunity to explore different paths and potentially find something even more fulfilling.

Taking classes from ArtOfProblemSolving.com or EPGY can certainly help you develop your skills in math and physics, and may even open up new opportunities for you. It's great that you are considering these options and finding ways to continue learning and growing.

However, I would also suggest taking some time to reflect on your interests and goals. Is there a particular area of science that you are passionate about? Are there any research projects or internships that you could pursue to gain hands-on experience? Sometimes taking a break and reassessing your options can lead to a more fulfilling path.

Ultimately, the decision is up to you and what will make you happiest. I would encourage you to seek advice from mentors, friends, and family, but ultimately trust your own instincts and make the best decision for yourself. Remember, there are always multiple paths to success and it's never too late to change direction. Good luck!
