<p>I really like the color scheme of the UCLA hoodies (sky blue and yellow)</p>
<p>The store only had UIUC hoodies, not surprised, but still. I want a Michigan sweatshirt (I love their font and logo). I also want NYU, Ohio State, and Syracuse.</p>
<p>I live like 200 miles away from OSU but we have an entire Ohio State merchandise aisle in our Wal-Mart.</p>
<p>@satanonymous (and anyone else who cares)
Princeton review and McGraw hill each offer a book containing some useful stuff. They had so many college applications- essays, formal tests, extracurricular activities, and anything else that they put in the application. Then they put where that person applied and where he or she got accepted/denied/waitlisted/ early decisioned. “They” refers to people who submitted their applications years after graduating from college. Really useful to see where you are in relation to other applicants who got accepted.</p>
<p>What are those books called?</p>
<p>Just took my first ever SAT today!
Didn’t finish the math, waited 15 minutes for everyone else to finish English.
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!</p>
<p>@dukehopeful great! Thanks!! I’ll definitely take a look at some of the books</p>
<p>Hi guys,
I was wondering if you could look at my EC’s and recommend some things for me to do this summer, relatively inexpensive. I am interested in Law and Political Science.</p>

<p>One of them is called “College Essays That Made a Difference” by Princeton Review. It’s not really worth buying, but if you were willing to (like me) spend two
Hours at a book store, you could read all of it. It says it’s about the essays, and it is, but it is so much more.</p>
<p>@Rashel maybe look at some precollege programs at local universities and colleges that have programs in your majors/interests because if you can commute that will cut down some costs also see if they offer scholarships or aid. Look into more volunteer programs as well, for example where I live there’s a camp for special needs students and a lot of my friends volunteer there and they love it. There always seems to be volunteering available which is very inexpensive.</p>
<p>@Rashel I agree with what JDancer said, but I also think you should try looking for an internship, if its possible for you. My friend interned at a Law Library in the next town over and took the bus there for his working days. Do you live by a University?</p>
<p>Took the SAT for the second time on Saturday. Felt a lot more comfortable than before. Hopefully got the 800 on math to improve my super score, ideally also got 2300+.</p>
<p>Hangoosksaram, both have good stuff and show strong commitment! Congrats on doing so well at ornithology – I personally hated it when I did the event in '11. </p>
<p>Rashel, also good stuff. I third the internship/precollege/college classes. If you can get an internship part time somehow and maybe take a class in polsci/law at your local CC or audit at the university and get a LoR, it might be helpful.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m so.so.nervous. I’m counting the days until the end of the week…I really think my nerves will snap or something.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you SAT takers! Been there, done that 
I know how stressful it is but you’ve done your best and you can’t really do anything else now…so just chill. </p>
<p>If anyone cares about book recs, I highly suggest
- The Blue Book tests and if you ask nicely, I can send you 6 tests from the prep course
- Direct Hits
- Erica Melzer’s guide to the SAT Grammar.</p>
<p>Rank #8 w/ a 98.6980 W.</p>
<p>I don’t know how my rank doesn’t suck.
My UW average for first semester was a 93, and my weighted was a 96/97 or something.
The val & sal both have like. 103-105ish.</p>
<p>Anyone taking SATs again in June?</p>
<p>anyone taking SAT subs?!</p>
<p>I’m taking Biology, Chemistry, and Math II in June.</p>
<p>oh what are doing as prep for bio?!?!</p>
<p>I’m in no ap class, so… 
We’re not going that fast in school either. we’re still in the beginning of genetics. 
you think i an catch up by may? june?</p>
<p>Lol anyone else want to comment on my EC’s? I’d really appreciate any input!</p>
<p>This week and next week, and then spring break arrives for me. Which sounds like a good thing, except teachers are really cramming us with information and tests right now, not to mention we have an English term paper due next Thursday. In fact, I think I have more homework tonight/study hall tomorrow morning than I’ve had all year. And I just remembered I have to spend my entire Wednesday evening working a Spanish Club event. </p>
<p>Man, I’m starting to feel like many of you guys who have the busy schedules.</p>
