So Senior CCers....how are you?

Are college apps going well?
Has senior year been a blowoff year?
What are you looking forward to the most?

and...that's it I guess. Good luck for college and I hope that all goes well!

I'm finished with every app except Brandeis'. I've already been accepted to 2 colleges. I'm ready to leave high school. We got our cap & gown order information today. =)

College apps are going much slower than I thought they would. I still need to write several essays...so much to do so little time. This year at school has just been INSANE! I'm just looking forward to 2nd semester when I can relax....no more tests, no more college apps, no more essays...it will just be perfect.

Senior year is the most stressful so far. My classes are bull and I don't learn much if I'm not in Calc or Physics. And my senior project is just one road block after another.

This has been my easiest year in school, even though all of my classes are weighted. But apps, sat subjects, and all that good stuff take forever! Luckily I've already submitted 10... Only 4 more to go!

Why do people apply to so many schools?

I'm just applying to a range of schools, I know it's insane. But I cant really even count hpsm as regular reach schools, they're too much of a crapshoot. So really I'm only applying to a solid range of 10 plausible reach, match, and safety schools. And a few of them are to make my mom happy=)

AP Literature. No matter how easy my other classes are, I'm still going to be stressed as every night I have to analyze a poem...

This Senior Year has been BS. Like all of it. I'm only applying to four colleges, so I'm not that stressed about them. My grades however are suffering. I know I have to do better, but I don't know how! Then I had an epiphany in Physics realizing it is the exact same thing as Calculus. Just want this to be over, and be in my future college. I keep hearing from adults however that college is just like high school. I hope not.

The college application process went by really slowly at first, but after I sent in my first 2 or 3, the rest just fly by. I'm almost done with the 4th and have 3 more to go, and they're already partially filled out thanks to the common app. But the year at my school a been really weird for me. I usually pull 2 or 3 B's a semester. Last year I did that with 2 APs, but this year I have 4 APs, and so far all A's... Idk how I'm doing it. It seems as if I'm busier then ever with XC and college visits, and it seems like there's a problem with my car every dang week, but now I'm just rambling haha. So far it's been good really. The perks of being a senior are great. Just saying.

@VanAleXX You just reminded me I have to go get my license before I leave for college. This stress will be the death of me.

I haven't even started my college apps yet... well, I do have around 60% of the commonapp completed, though.

Senior year has been complete stress and pressure (mostly from myself).

I'm looking forward to finishing HS altogether, and going to college so I can start really working towards what I want to be in life.

December really is going to be crunch time for me. I'll have to gather my SAT scores, apps, HS transcript, and my DC transcript from the community college and send them.

Some of us are paranoid. Before I had the 2 acceptances, I was terrified I wouldn't get in anywhere. My original list had 12. Now it's down to 8.

I think we can all agree that we're so ready for college!
