<p>Drugs. My Yale Antidrug.</p>
<p>i don’t get what an antidrug is</p>
<p>lol, have you not seen the commercials?
an antidrug is basically something that prevents you from doing drugs. For example, my antidrug is… basketball.</p>
<p>ohhh ok i get it noww lol</p>
<p>ahhh 24 more days<33333</p>
<p>Yayy Yale is winning so far! Bulldogs are awesome! :D</p>
<p>@ 2010 emily: haha i got the coca cola semi letter in the mail today too! your link didnt work for me though? supposedly they list the semis from each state…is that it?</p>
<p>darn I shouldve applied for that. was the application extensive?</p>
<p>ug. </p>
<p>has anyone else given up trying to lie to themselves by saying that its about what you do when you get into college, not where you go? </p>
<p>because i’m self - confident and happy, and yet i still sort of feel like my self worth is tied to this application</p>
<p>i feel like 100% of my self worth is tied to my application. :[
it’s like all i live for these days</p>
<p>since I pretty much screwed up my essays by writing them several hours before the early deadline…if I get rejected then I can console myself by saying that I would’ve definitely done better with better essays. even if I probably would’ve gotten rejected anyways. haha.</p>
<p>^aww don’t worry about that too much. lol you literally wrote everything hours before the deadline? or ru exaggering a little?</p>
<p>I finished my first essay in the morning, started the second one shortly thereafter and finished editing it at 11:00pm. procrastination ftw :] even though the second one turned out atrociously lol</p>
<p>aww geez. i wonder what percentage of applicants do their essays in the same manner</p>
<p>northcountry yeah, the link just lists the winners from each state. The application wasn’t bad, but the next phase is more extensive. But at least I have Thanksgiving break to work on it.</p>
<p>pigs - me too. probably not a lot, although I do remember seeing frantic threads popping up on nov.1st from people like me freaking out about their essays. can’t remember if it was on the yale board or not though
I know some ppl that finished their essays in august and submitted their apps in september…</p>
<p>i finished my essay the early morning before i went to yale (oct 19) for a student interview (also found out that i write best from 2-4am :)). </p>
<p>i feel as if writing the essay closer to the deadline instead of September is beneficial because you find a lot about yourself in the first few months of senior year. if i had written and essay and submitted in september, i dont think it would be like poorly written or anything, just less personal.</p>
<p>but that might just be me. i guess it also has to do with the fact that i got to go on a kairos retreat before the app was due.</p>
<p>that’s true…maybe the optimal time for college essays is around mid-october. close enough to the deadline that you feel some pressure, but far enough away that you’re not in freakout mode yet…
I just think 1 hour before deadline was a little much for me lol.</p>
<p>lol, I’m one of those people who wrote my essay, a long time ago and didn’t apply until the last week.</p>
<p>I finally got an interview call today out of the blue! I’m really excited & nervous & don’t no how to prepare !!!</p>
<p>If anyone has any advice/tips/suggestions from their SCEA interview, I would appreciate it 
Also, has anyone had to discuss current events/news/opinions on issues? Should I be able to speak on these topics?
( I know there’s a separate interview thread, which I browsed through, but I wanted your opinions!)</p>
