well some schools use the same question every year and the common app questions are pretty general. Brainstorming won't hurt at this point either....

@thefranchize9
yeah that's true. I just started brainstorming. Are you doing interviews anywhere?

@dplane
Oh ok. Well I read everything since the beginning of this thread. I just forgot about it cause we were talking about questbridge and colleges and etc.

Oh by the way to all people that are applying to questbridge for the college match you should check out the thread for it. But a big thing that caught my attention was somebody was talking about that there have been people that have been a finalist but didn't get into any of the schools that they put on their list versus other who weren't finalist and applied RD and got into t the school of their choice. So you might want to check it out

i got a 2030 on Sats. I'd rather not talk about my Math 2 score (really really low). I plan on retaking in October and also taking English Subject test.
