<p>I plan on applying to about 13 schools… (not including safeties) Is that too much? Lol. Well, it depends on where I get in early action too…</p>
<p>(From first to last choice: MIT<3 Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Boston College, Notre Dame, UChicago, Fordham, Northeastern, SUNY Binghamton and SUNY Stony Brook)</p>
<p>I have waayyy too many reaches… Oh well</p>
<p>If I get into MIT EA though, it’ll knock off a TON of colleges though. :D</p>
<p>You better put a safely in there: “Always have a safely.” repeat after me: “Always have a safely”. And wat is MIT? Michigan, Minnesota something?</p>
<p>My list of colleges:
UNC Chapel Hill
UNC Wilmington or Charlotte
Wake Forest U
Davidson U
Duke (Maybe)</p>
<p>@Descuff I’ll apply to safety depending on how my EA goes… If I get into even 1 EA then I don’t need to bother with safeties… But for safeties I’m thinking Union and University of Buffalo…
And omg, you haven’t heard of MIT? D: This saddens me. ):</p>
<p>Yeah,13 schools is a bit much if that doesn’t include safeties. But if the supplements are short, then you should be fine. I’m applying to more or less 13 as well, but that includes safeties!
Only two though :/</p>
<p>@Descuff
There are junior level AP courses. The sophomore AP course is US History. The junior ones are Calculus (AB and BC), Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Biology, Art History, (European History, Psychology, and English Language will be new for next year). Senior year there are all of the previous, Italian, Spanish, French, Mandarin, (not sure if German is one), Physics, and English Literature.</p>
<p>I am not sure on how many colleges I am going to apply to. I think I will apply to 13. Out of those, 1 is my top choice, 5 are “I’ll pick those over the rest if I don’t get accepted into #1, as I wanted to go to them at least some time in my high school life”, 4 are “Meh, they are okay, and if I don’t get a good deal from the others, I will go”, and the last 3 are “I really do not want to go here, but I should have some safeties just in case”.</p>
<p>bored2tears, you really should have safeties you wouldn’t mind going to - because if all else fails, at least you won’t hate the next four years.</p>
<p>@descuff i am lucky especially since by that time I’ll have my car. I’ve finished all required classes except English and social studies. So it’s possible I’d be getting out earlier I I chose to drop probability and statistics and psychology ( depending onthe math teacher- I have a bad past with the teacher that is supposedly teaching it and it isnt 100% that AP psychology will be offered at my campus. So it’s possible I could have 3/4 classes instead I 5/6. </p>
<p>As for the # of colleges isn’t 13 a lot? My guidance counselor said 8-10 and 10 being on the high end. Especially looking at it from a $$ perspective at 50 a piece per app 13 is 650$ o.O</p>

Honestly, me and my top choice is just like my friend and Princeton. If we don’t get in, we will be miserable wherever we go. I guess the 5 that come after my top choice are more of safeties. But I can always add in Penn State and Rutgers as my safeties (Rutgers, I easily can get in to. My guidance counselor worked/works at Penn State, and he said that he can get me in no matter what.)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s a terrible mindset to have. You will most likely not be miserable wherever you go, unless you keep that mindset. Princeton is great, but so are a ton of other schools.</p>
<p>That’s really sad to hear. I don’t have a cookie for you, but maybe this’ll help: <a href=“How to Pronounce Onomatopoeia - YouTube”>How to Pronounce Onomatopoeia - YouTube;
<p>@bored2tears Aw 
Princeton’s great (although my least favorite of the Ivies), but there’s tons of other schools that are great too…</p>
<p>The only way I’ll end up ‘miserable’ is if I get rejected from all the schools in my top 8. Lol.</p>
<p>I’ll be soooo bummed if/when I get rejected from MIT though. :(</p>
<p>Same. I love all of my top 8 schools, and then there’re a few I’m still on the fence about.</p>
<p>I hope we all end up at our first choice. >…< Lol, if that was even possible…</p>
<p>Or at least one in our top 5.</p>
<p>Why does everyone think I want to go to Princeton? I said my obsession with my first choice is the same as my friend’s obsession with Princeton. I don’t want to go to Princeton, nor will I apply there. My friend wants to. :P</p>
<p>And don’t worry about my mindset. My high school is crap. As much as I hate it, and tell myself every day that it will be a bad day, it never is. I like being pessimistic. When I think that everything will be extremely horrible and then it doesn’t end up being horrible, it seems so much better. (It is hard for me to explain this outlook in words. Hopefully you all understand what I am saying).</p>
<p>That doesn’t seem very healthy. But whatever works for you… </p>
<p>I’m so upset no one picked up on the amazingness that is the PronunciationManual I linked!</p>
<p>@bored2tears oh! Sorry I misunderstood… And I actually understood what you meant about the pessimistic thing… Expect the worse and hope for the best, right? </p>
<p>And I saw the video retrohippo. 
it made me literally ‘lol’</p>
<p>Watch the other ones!</p>
<p>Lol I did, I liked the darkness one. lmao. And Aeropostale… XD Although the top comment on Aeropostale was funnier than the actual video…</p>
<p>“Somewhere a foreigner is failing his english exam”</p>
<p>XD</p>
<p>hahaha.</p>
<p>There’s a comment on one of them about how we’re laughing at a disabled kid. Oops.</p>
