2. Yale
3. Columbia
4. Princeton

My friends are dreading college apps, too. I think they're going to be the ones finishing on Christmas day.

I think I was a little too excited. I'm finished everything I can finish for now. I just need guidance and teacher recommendations, transcripts which my school doesn't give out until mid-Sept, and one college app, which doesn't come out until Sept. I also read over my essays every now and then to see if I would change them with "fresh eyes."

The supplements for the two colleges I'm applying to that use the common app haven't been released yet, so I still have to do those, too.

I should probably add that my college list is the same, except I'm no longer applying to UVa. (Sorry for the multiple posts. I would edit to add, but I'm on my iPod.)

^Tap on your comment on your iPod to edit.

I have so many essays and supplements to write. It takes me on average 6 hours to write one school essay. Imagine these -_-..

Nevertheless, I've started early. I refuse to rush at the last minute.

^I'm not on the app. I'm online, and I can't go on the full website to edit because the full website doesn't work on my iPod for some reason.

As always, my list has changed. I'm applying to...

USC
Loyola Marymount - early action
Rice
University of Washington
And 3 CSU schools.

I honestly think this is my final list haha. If I don't get into LMU EA, I'll probably freak out and start applying to some other schools.
Yay 2012!

@grammar Oh... that sucks :-/. Hope it works eventually.

You guys have nice concise lists of schools.. I wish I could narrow it down from about 20, but not too much lol. I like having options .

I almost wish I had more schools on my list because I only have five, but I'm really picky about things like field experience as a special education major. I am applying to all my schools early action, though, so I should know if I need more schools by the end of the year.

@Rose Haha, same here. I started at the beginning of July. So far, I have one (kinda) down and OD to go lol. I've been making a lot of revisions. Although, it's my Common App essay, so it's expected that this one will take a little longer than the others.

Don't get me started on the EC short essay though... that's another doozy in my book haha.
