<p>I have 5 schools in mind. I don’t expect the list to change in any way either. UW-Madison is my 1st choice, but I’d be OOS and it’s way too expensive, and unfortunately they are pretty frugal when it comes to giving $ to OOS students. The other 4 all rank about the same for me, with UMN-Twin Cities maybe edging out the other 3.</p>
<p>I’ve got 5 schools as well, but they all seem great to me-- I hope I get rejected just so I don’t have to pick between them.</p>
<p>^ srsly?! -_-… not commenting further… </p>
<p>Any internationals?
What are YOU choosing from?</p>
<p>@agreat Be careful of what you wish for.</p>
<p>
That would be the best problem ever (to have to choose your favorite school). I’d be happy at any of the 5 schools I have on my list already</p>
<p>I’m thinking of just applying to Carnegie Mellon ED so I can be done with apps early.</p>
<p>I’m wary of applying ED anywhere because I need financial aid… I don’t need THAT much but still I need some. EA/PR/EE to all the places for me!</p>
<p>Had a pretty good day today!
- Got my first 9 on an AP Lang essay (our teacher has only given three in her career)
-Found out I’m nominated for Boys’ State, although I won’t be continuing with the interview since I’m going to be busy this summer
-Our vball team destroyed our opponent, so now our record is 10-1</p>
<p>This week:
4 tennis matches against 3 private schools and a top ten in the state public school, and I have to play 3 singles and 1 doubles because 3 guys will be out.
2 band concerts and I have a duet with the altos that I have yet to master
Junior exit due
40 page scrapbook with 150 words per page (Spanish) about what sociologists say about my family and another type of family (adoptive, homosexual, etc.)
ACT in an hour
The usual chemistry homework- a lot
Read the great gatsby in two days and write 10 rhetorical analysis pages for Friday. Read 120 pages of AP statistics textbook.
An easy due for a scholarship contest.</p>
<p>I have junioritis-
The inability to find the energy to do everything that needs to be done.</p>
<p>^ I would die.</p>
<p>For me:</p>
<p>Got accepted to girl state!
Got accepted to my biomed internship!!! :’)
My AP essays all recieve 9’s. I’m a happy kiddo 
Spring Break is next week
I get to see my gramps tomorrow <3
Taking the SAT this saturday!!</p>
<p>BUSY BUSY BUSY</p>
<p>Wow, I feel like I live such a simple life now. My week includes:
- School off yesterday (In Chicagoland we get Casimir Pulaski Day off)
- Snow day today
- After school Spanish Club meeting tomorrow
- A LOT to do on my English anthology project
That’s basically it, since I’m not in any sports in the spring. Ahh, the life of a student at a poorly ranked public school.</p>
<p>My schedule is no where near as bad as you guys but:
I have to study for my AP Latin test on Thursday, memorize the first 11 lines of the Aenied before the 27th, and plan the competition my latin club is hosting on the 23rd.
I also have to study for my pre-calc test tomorrow. its not too bad except for the fact that my godsister may be coming to live part-time or full time at my house and she would be sleeping in my room and she’s much younger so i may have to change my study schedule around to accommodate that</p>
<p>@000Chet,
I like u already… 
Only person I feel I can somehow relate with in this forum… lol
srsly, I don’t have all this sh**t</p>
<p>@2200andbeyondXD
Haha glad we can relate. The good thing about this place is that it keeps me in my place. Compared to 85% of my school I’d be an “overachiever,” but here I’m basically your average slacker.</p>
<p>SRSLY?! THAT too! Dude, I am like one of the very the first in my school and am looked at as some kinda genius I swear. I can seriously think of a few who would worship me for my SAT score, for example… And here I am: the slacker… As a matter of fact, I am just the rowdy student in class, but my school has this thing of ''once sth, always that thing"… And I have been a nerd for long enough that now whatever I do, I get away with it… lol
kinda sad though…lol</p>
<p>I think we’re going to get along pretty well. :P</p>
<p>I definitely share that “nerd immunity” thing too. I was really shy and quiet my freshman year, but since then I’ve gotten a lot more obnoxious, especially in Spanish, where it’s just a complete circus. But yeah, my friends get in trouble and I don’t, because I know how to butter up a teacher and seem like a good kid before letting loose.</p>
<p>HAHAAHAHAHA… same here! I talk AALL the time, and yet RARELY get yelled at… not to mention get a punishment… lol… ME?! punishment? teacher wouldn’t have the heart… lol…
They tend to get REAL easy on the grades too…
Tangible proof: I think I literally failed my Computer term exam… yet got a 91 cuz I told the teacher I’ll make her a project cuz I hadn’t taken her “final notes” which are practically everything… Note: I never submitted that project… ehem…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not if you go to a Chicago Public School. 
</p>
<p>I had school yesterday.</p>
<p>January SAT makeup test scores are up.
2240!
Not bad at all, but I will have to improve if I want to compete with all of the overachievers on cc ;)</p>
