<p>I agree with Quidditch. I don’t want too many reaches. I just eliminated a match, so now I’m about to eliminate a reach. Goodbye Cornell. I probably wouldn’t like it that much anyways…it’s not near a major city, which is a must on my list.</p>
<p>My problem is that I don’t have any resemblance of a dream college, so it’s hard for me to narrow down my list. So far my only limiting factor is engineering.</p>
<p>@TinnyT: yeah I got kind of discouraged after seeing a lot of people get rejected from lower reaches… this year was kind of bad in terms of college admissions. </p>
<p>@TheKongo, do you have the resources to visit any school? You don’t necessarily have to visit all schools you are slightly interested in, just choose one in each category (i.e. rural, suburban, urban OR large, medium, small).</p>
<p>I am so stressed out about college applications and ap testing brb dying</p>
<p>I don’t want to have a dream college in mind because I’ll be crushed if I didn’t get in and I’m horribly indecisive. So, I have a bunch of colleges that I really like and would love to go to any/all of them. I only have 2 reaches, but I might weed through my list again and then there will be only one.</p>

<p>I play the viola! but I absolutely love jazz, Gershwin and Brubeck are my favorites.
I also sing A Capella, anyone else out there similar to me?</p>
<p>I have block schedules.</p>
<p>It makes the day go by faster.</p>
<p>Are you guys doing any summer programs? Which ones have you been accepted to? I’m trying to find a good summer residency program right now, but most of them seem to cost $7,000-12,000+.</p>
<p>Working on finagling an internship atm</p>
<p>Volunteering at a library, working, hoping for girls state.</p>
<p>The July Experience at Davidson College, I may find one or two additional things to do (shadowing a pathologist and lots of volunteer work at an animal hospital).</p>
<p>I’m probably going to the Michigan State HSHSP. Seven weeks of research–sounds like a blast!</p>
<p>Volunteering, doing research independently (for now, I’ll get more news back this/next week)</p>
<p>I’m still praying debate camp works out. If so I’m going to northwestern for 4 weeks. If not I’ll probably get a job and take a few classes.</p>
<p>I’m working at a camp for kids with special needs kids in August.
I’m kind of passively trying to find a July internship, but it’s probably not going to happen, as it’s a bit late in the process and my camp starts at the end of July, meaning that even if I started in June, I’d have to end the internship early. Also, I keep forgetting to remind my contact to email her contacts about it.
I’ll probably just use the time to swim (hey, maybe even go for lifeguarding and/or CPR/first aid!) and learn how to drive.</p>
<p>Doing 10 weeks of research at UT.</p>
<p>Also, I’m not going to fail 2 of my 5 AP tests :)</p>
<p>@Soccer: Partying at MIT for 6 weeks. Free science & engineering program. 1/3 to 1/2 of each class goes on to matriculate at MIT the following year.</p>
<p>Actually, edit: If I don’t find any professors locally to do a research project with, I’ll probably try for one in Japan (living with my relatives). If that doesn’t work I’m going to hide under a rock. Just kidding. Probably will do a volunteer “internship” working with wildlife.</p>
