<p>Strong 1600 people.</p>

My school has a very strong guidance department but I still know of some people with outside counselors. Thankfully my school has a required class to help you complete the common app/essay/prepare for interviews so I haven’t seen a need for outside help other then on the essays.</p>
<p>My one friend who go a perfect score, I found out she took 2 prep courses. I took one in school that was a part of my schedule for free and then an extra one, but we got a deal because my twin sister and I took it together. My town is pretty upper middle class so they’re common even though I don’t consider myself that. I’m probably going to get the most FA compared to most of my friends except if my one friend gets a lot of merit</p>
<p>My dad is making me take a SAT prep course… It starts the 24th and ends Oct. 3rd :(</p>
<p>Last weekday of summer. It’s bittersweet. I don’t think my schedule will be too tough this year, so I’m going to focus my real efforts on AP Calc and Physics. AP Stats should be pretty easy, and I imagine AP Lit isn’t that tough either, but I’m not sure about that one. All my other classes will be ridiculously easy.</p>
<p>just curious…how far is everyone on their college essays?</p>
<p>Common app essay: completed
Supplemental essays: no where near finished. </p>
<p>I’m doing well in my ACT prep, so a 33+ is in my future :)</p>
<p>Didn’t get into WoW, but that’s fine. I sort of lost interest in Williams and the only reason I didn’t cut it from my list is because of my mentorship program, where I’m required to apply to 5 partner schools. Williams being one of them.</p>
<p>Im also working on the act and trying to get a 32+ I plan on finishing my common app essay soon as well as some of the supplemental essays.</p>
<p>I’m done with the Common App essay and four supplement essays. I still have four supplements to write.
I was really productive at the beginning of the summer, but it seems all the words have congealed in my head and I don’t remember how to write. And of course I saved the most difficult prompts for last.</p>
<p>Ermergerd, this week while I was on vacation, I wrote a total of 514 words for my Common App essay. </p>
<p>Seriously though, I have no idea how to express myself. I feel like a major derp while writing my essays.</p>
<p>Ehmergerd, finished my Common App Essay.</p>
<p>650 exactly.</p>
<p>This is a recurring trend for me, by the way…</p>
<p>Mine’s 410. Not sure if it’s too short.</p>
