<p>That’s nice 
I can’t wait for freezing winters either!</p>
<p>Me > wasting time whole day, studying for APs, obsessing over Michigan.</p>
<p>Hehe… are you using all those Barron’s books and all? I just read 1 book and got a 1970, so I highly recommend you get that book…it’s a pretty fun book too… + solving those sample tests from the blue book = 2200 atleast for you 
I was too lazy to solve practice tests</p>

<p>@poly: which AP’s are you taking?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hahaha it’s not that cool you know :)</p>
<p>It is, it is 
… for someone coming from a place thats at 40 C right now :@</p>
<p>40 C! Yeah, here too…horrible.</p>
<p>I’m writing only AP Chem and AP Bio.</p>
<p>No clue what the temperature here is.</p>
<p>Hey, I have Up Your Score! I’ll read it sometime soon.</p>
<p>That sounds really nice S33D- I deicded on Carleton over Emory also on the prestige grounds since i too will be going to grad school and the college experience at carleton is way better then Emory.
Carleton doesn’t have too many alumni connections which Emory has but that doesn’t matter when you have grad school in mind,.
i’ll be spending winters in boston too. Minneapolis is around 2 hours non stop from Boston.</p>
<p>I have absolutely nothing to do- no AP tests , no entrances absolutely nothing. Its nice cause i can complete my sleep obsession of 12 hours/day right now but i guess it will wear of after this month.
But i need to start doing some ‘productive’ things too!</p>
<p>Yup exactly. The whole picture changes when you are going to grad school for sure I am probably gonna come to Minneapolis first in August with my friend who is at UM, see how cold it actually is (whenever I call him he is shivering :p) then leave for Sackville. Is Carleton in Minneapolis itself or somewhere close by?</p>
<p>Are you guys gonna travel heavy or light? I am thinking of shipping most of my stuff directly to the uni and travelling with just 2 bags… I don’t know how expensive that is gonna be though.</p>
<p>@tetris: up your score is awesome.</p>
<p>S33D, </p>
<p>Not fair to compare your canadian college to williams, at least not w/r/t number of Rhodes, since Canada has its own, and the competition is, I suspect, a bit less rough, no?</p>
<p>I was not “comparing” in that sense, just putting it in perspective. But yes, the competition must be much less.</p>
<p>Carleton is a 45 minute drive from Minneapolis. I am spending August in boston and will arrive at carleton for their weeklong international student orientation starting september 3. The term starts from 15th september and all other freshmen arrive on the 10th.</p>
<p>how much stuff do you have sid that you need to ship it?
all i am taking are clothes and since i’ll be doing my winter shopping there itself, I think all the clothes plus other stuff i want to take will come into 2 large suitcases.</p>
<p>^Wow somebody was up early :)</p>
<p>Actually i wasn’t up early- i didn’t sleep lastnight- lots of packing and other stuff to do- i go to Andamans in a few hours - see you guys after a week!</p>
<p>Oh awesome! Bon voyage and have fun!</p>
<p>Hey guys…had a lot to catch up on since I wasnt on CC for some days.
Anyways, I am a Presidential Honors Scholar at NYU which makes me eligible for for some financial assistance!!yay!!
But I still am a part of NU '12!!!</p>
<p>Anyways lucky you shreya!
Andamans is a brilliant place!!</p>
<p>And hey tetris-I have some awesome books for SAT 1 and SAT 2-so if you need any help, I will be more than happy!</p>
<p>Hmm, actually I dunno how much stuff it’ll be… just clothes and stuff only… I just assumed since I’ll be away for a year it’ll be a lot :p</p>
<p>Enjoy your trip :D</p>
