How do I keep my hopes down for my top choices? I don't want to set myself up for disappointment.

Hey everyone,

I am blessed to have received a few IIs which all hit my goal of being in-state and within reach of home. One of my IIs is to my dream school. It's an amazing school, I have a great community there, including one of my closest friends, and I can't stop thinking about getting in and how my life would look in the future.

I just fear I'm setting myself up for disappointment. It's definitely a reach school, if not far-reach. I'd be below average on MCAT and probably bottom of my class in GPA.

I pretty much haven't told anybody except my immediate family and closest friends because I don't want to get anybody's (including my) hopes up. This one school changed my whole goal for this cycle and now I feel like I'd be disappointed if I went anywhere else even though I've gotten some amazing IIs. How do I stay grounded and thankful for whatever comes (if anything)?
