<p>Got the generic invite to apply for Questbridge, but I’m actually contemplating it.</p>
<p>@Tinny, I got the email too, considered for 5 minutes, then closed the tab because I’ve put way too much consideration already into applying EA vs. RD. -.-</p>
<p>I’m on Plucker’s Hall of Flame. Honors or not?</p>
<p>Sorry Repede, I don’t think so. I had a friend that was on the FBI top 10 (prestigious national recognition) and got rejected from every single school. Colleges are getting stingier by the day with what they consider awards.</p>
<p>When do we find out if we’re national merit?</p>
<p>Meh Questbridge sounds like a lot of EXTRA work and I’m not even that competitive as of now. Plus I have Posse, so hopefully I can go far with that.</p>
<p>Hmm. Spanish Club at my school meets on a very sporadic basis. Like, we had about 4-5 meetings all year. Not sure what I should put for # of weeks or hours per week. </p>
<p>Not to mention Ski Club, where we had 1 meeting at the beginning of the year, 2 trips during the winter, and that’s it.</p>
<p>Just curious. Anybody here admitted into WISE at MIT for September?</p>
<p>Bleh. The honors and awards portion only has a few spots, so I won’t be able to fit my Model UN awards on there. I have over 20 and plan on winning more this coming year, so I don’t want to just pick my best ones because I put so much effort into them.
Could I include an attachment listing all of my MUN awards separately, or would that seem snobby or whatever?</p>
<p>Just put MUN awards or something.</p>
<p>Idk, I’ll ask my counselor haha.</p>
<p>On the Common App, if I have a research lab summer internship, what do I put it under for Activities?</p>
<p>Does it hurt my application if I don’t fill in optional contact info (such as that for my parents)?</p>
<p>Alright its time to start applications. But…how many colleges should I apply to?</p>
<p>I have 14 on my list right now.</p>
<p>lol. Honors: -MUN awards (several, trust me)</p>
<p>@collegeluva101: isn’t there a career-oriented section under activities, or did they get rid of that?</p>
<p>@donewithh As many as you can afford + handle. I’ve seen people apply to as many as 19, but that’s probably overkill no matter what.</p>
<p>@vivendium, Thanks, I’ll put it under career oriented</p>
<p>Also, if it’s a summer thing, for grade levels, do I put the grade prior to which I participated in the activity?</p>
<p>@collegeluva101 Nope, one of the little help things on the side I read today said to put the grade after the summer you did the activity.</p>
<p>@upsilon, Lol, I got confused again, but then I realized I worded my question wrong. You basically said what I meant. So, just to clarify, what I’m doing this summer counts as Grade 12 correct?</p>
<p>That moment when you realize you don’t have much honors to share…</p>
<p>And questbridge im considering as well. My college list is still mysterious too.</p>
