golddw- congrats to you too! and good luck with uchicago. i guess we’re both on the same boat.

isnwta- neither schools accept the common app. st johns has a unique application process. there is no application fee. you need to submit two teacher reccs, secondary school report and write a few essay-responses to 3 or 4 questions (along the lines of: why st johns, describe your reading habits, whats a significant experience you’ve had). the essays are the most important part of your application. when you apply to the college you have to specify which campus you’re applying to. i chose annapolis because i’ve got east coast pride. i like having all 4 seasons and being near the atlantic ocean. once you’re a “Johnny,” or a St Johns student, you’re allowed to switch between the two campuses. I hear this is really a blessing since living with the same 400 people on a tiny campus can become stifling.
