There was a really nice similar thread on TSR (UK version of CC) for students applying to uni in 2015, so I thought maybe I’d start one here - just a place for us to vent, ask desperate questions, share stats/what we’ve done/how much we’ve prepared/how much we’ve NOT prepared, and in general, try and take a little of the craziness out of this whole application system. CC can be a kinda stressful place sometimes, just trying to create a judgment-free space 
About me: I’m an international student, applying to US (early), UK and local universities at the same time as my national exams this year, so it’s all gonna be pretty crazy, but I’m sure I’ll get through it
Feel free to share about yourselves!
