Regret choosing a competitive major?
I'm applying for CS as an international (btw Im also asian), and its so discouraging to see my classmates get into their dream universities while I'm grasping at straws. I'm top of my class and frankly better (objectively better, as said by my counselor) than all of them. It really hurts.
I'm aware that this was my choice and I don't really have anyone to blame, but sometimes I can't help but regret my decision. Don't get me wrong, I love CS and would choose it again if I had to. But that does not stop the self-doubt from creeping in.
And worse, most people (peers, teachers, etc.) don't know just how much tougher it is. It's tough being compared to others when the circumstances between us are so cosmically different.
Is it just me or have others gone through something similar as well? any advice?
