<p>I still have 7 essays to write! …which is another reason I shouldn’t be on CC right now…</p>
<p>I have 6 apps to do…with about 18 essays ( a bunch of short answers, but still) left. Just the essays left really—</p>
<p>a bunch of them overlap–like the big personal statements, and whats most improtant extra curric, but still its obscene.</p>
<p>northwestern and penn app are the worst.</p>
<p>Get to it. Good luck.</p>
<p>Yeah, I still have lots of stuff to do.</p>
<p>I can see it now… the moment we get accepted all of the colleges in the US will announce a “universal college application” with only one essay and one form to fill. :)</p>
<p>i feel the SAME WAY> i put them all off til break in case i got accepted to Yale. … and that i didnt makes it that much harder to want to do them </p>
<p>anybody eles think that cornell’s short answers are the most absurd prompts of all time?</p>
<p>Haven’t seen Cornell’s, but UVa’s suckass big time. This winter break is horrible- I hate that I still am doing college apps. :(</p>
<p><em>Throws sad confetti for pity party and passes out invites to everyone who has posted so far</em></p>
<p>Iplayoboe, my love----There were no short answers for Cornell. what are you talking about?</p>
<p>Um…NORTHWESTERN application SUCKS. Have you read the essay prompts!!! They’re REDICULOUS!!! AHHHHHHH.</p>
<p>yeah Cornell’s are annoying!</p>
<p>there are two extra short answers for cornell…</p>
<p>on the “supplimentary essays” page.
they are “essays” … limited to 250 words each.
and they both $uc<</p>
<p>You know…common app WAS a good idea…until each college decided they needed a supplement…</p>
<p>3 apps left. . .4 essays or so. One is due January 10th, so I can procrastinate for that one. But a few are due the 1st. . .I’ve gotta try and finish tonight.</p>
<p>iplayoboe- do u have to answer the 2nd short answer for Cornell…it says if u’re undecided…</p>
<p>only have 1 app completed…the 8 that are left are just waiting for their essays; which are done…just not done done…</p>
<p>ivyboy05, you’re exactly right. Why be a part of Common App in the first place if you want another essay, two more short answers, and an additional school report also?</p>
<p>Yeah, seriously, whoever invented the concept of Common App supplements should be shot.</p>
<p>beat repeatedly with a blunt object and stoned, personally, its a more communal activity to punish said suppliment creators, and i want to throw the third stone.
shooting is so… singular.</p>
<p>i agree with ivyboy… i hate the northwestern essays!!! i mean COME ON, how do they expect not to have totally cliche essay responses from those questions?? ugh, i’m mad. all i have to write now is northwestern and pomona (reinvent your high school. even worse!!) and i reeeally don’t wanna.</p>
<p>hehe, here i thought i was done with apps and then i see all the financial aid apps i have to fill. can’t I just send them a sticky note that says I am 17 and I have no money? but then they need to know everything about my parents…grrr</p>
<p>haha! a sticky note! what a great idea. </p>
<p>im 18, i have 147 dollars in my wallet. would you like them?
thats all i have. </p>
<p>silly parents earning money…</p>
