This is a general question, so please feel free to answer however you would like.
I got accepted to an undergrad program, transferring from a community college, that I don't feel like I am qualified for, and am totally terrified of either being driven into the ground, or laughed out of the department. I don't see how I could pass up the opportunity, but my brain keeps telling me I would be so much happier at one of the lesser known or less respected schools I got into.
Do you have any advice for convincing yourself that you are working amongst "fellow human beings", and not people who you will never be as good or smart as? Did you feel any unnatural or lingering nervousness when you heard you got accepted to Julliard, and if so, how did you overcome it?
P.S. I got into a Musicology program, which I understand is different from Performance, but I feel like we are all studying and love music, so the advice should be the same for both right?
