<p>There was one that had me crunch like five digit numbers. There was probably an easier way to do it, but I had five minutes left with ten or so questions, so I started panicking like crazy.</p>
<p>Is anyone here doing HOBY in May/June? I just found out Im the representative for my school</p>
<p>[HOBY</a> - Leadership Seminars](<a href=“http://www.hoby.org/leadership-seminars]HOBY”>http://www.hoby.org/leadership-seminars)</p>
<p>This is kind of random but how do you guys deal with essays about yourself? I have to write at least 5 about what kind of person I am for this boarding school that I’m applying to, and honestly, I’m stumped. I can write about basically anything… except for myself, it’s just kind of awkward. Also, my parents are sending them to my sister to proofread before I submit, so that would be even more awkward. Tips, anyone?</p>
<p>Is this for your state’s math and science academy? I have to do something similar lol</p>
<p>We have to measure the speed of something in mph and meters per sec for physics any ideas? Nothing dangerous. My friend is measuring how fast their dog runs and stuff like that.</p>
<p>Yeah @TeamRocketGrunt
How have you approached yours? If you’ve started them yet idk</p>
<p>Does anyone else have friends who applied early and just got decisions/are getting decisions soon?</p>
<p>2 of my friends just got into Columbia and I’m so ecstatic for them. (’: I actually started crying happy tears. Hearing about acceptances are so heart-warming and motivating ksdjfskljsd I’ll probably break down when it’s actually our year to apply and get decisions.</p>
<p>I’ll break down when I’m rejected from everywhere</p>
<p>@loltired I can’t stand having to write about myself, it sucks. If I make myself sound good I feel conceited, but if I don’t I feel self-conscious about what the reader will think of me. I usually just have to break down and write as if no one is actually going to read it. I try to remember that English teachers are use to reading stuff like this.</p>
<p>Anyways I’m super excited cause tomorrow we’re going on a field trip to DC. Living in Maryland obviously I’ve taken tons of field trips to DC, but this time we’re going to see Congress and the Supreme Court is session. Half my class is really excited, and the other really doesn’t care, lol. So do you guys live near any tourist spots?</p>
<p>Have any of you gotten letters from colleges yet? I got one. It seems weird that I got one considering I barely have ECs. It wasn’t an unknown college either, it was one of those colleges that have commercials about themselves.</p>
<p>loltired I GO TO BOARDING SCHOOL. Si tu tienes preguntas, yo puedo contestar. What school(s) are you applying to?</p>
<p>Do you guys have finals before break? These last three weeks have been constant studying and probably triple the stress/workload.</p>
<p>Spanish 2 skills @Meander? lol :P</p>
<p>@Cornball Hahah, I’m exactly the same way, and I’ll try doing that over winter break!</p>
<p>@Meander Yo s</p>
<p>@loltired, yes a couple. grammar mistakes haha, congratulations to your friend! I dream of Duke.</p>
<p>What you said, translated by another Spanish 3 student: I know little Spanish! I have the class of Spanish 3. I am applying to the North Carolina School of Science and Math. Where are you going in order for school?</p>
<p>As you can tell, I love doing anything possible to procrastinate.</p>
<p>@TeamRocket - Same, only I’m ACTUALLY going to get rejected everywhere. Being an Asian with a not-so-stellar GPA is pretty much the worst you can get.</p>
<p>@Cornball - That sounds so fun, the only trips my high school offers are annual ones to Six Flags. /:</p>
<p>@Jawmess - Yeah, a few from somewhat-decent schools. Pretty sure it’s because of the PSAT. Those letters make me feel somewhat wanted. :P</p>
<p>@loltired - Congrats! 
Currently living vicariously through all the college acceptances I’m hearing about, because I’m expecting rejections from all these schools in 2 years…</p>
<p>S</p>
<p>¿Soy la única persona que es en la clase de español 4?</p>
<p>La mayor</p>

<p>I shall type a more coherent response to your posts after school tomorrow. Extremely tired now.</p>
<p>Before I leave, though, question: do you guys think it wise to focus 80% of my EC effort on research? I’m thinking of making it my primary EC ( in many ways, it already kind of is).</p>
<p>I may have missed the discussion but did anyone get their psat scores?
I got a 182 which is bad CC standards but decent for me. M:59
R:63
W:60</p>
<p>Still waiting For PSAT scores. I put the wrong ZIP code so I don’t think I’m getting mine back any time soon</p>
