I still have to fill out the Naviance forms, write the Rutgers essay (wish they used the Common App, ugh), write a common app essay and finish everything else. Loving senior year…
Jesus I was 1 point away from a 35
I’m officially done with my first (and hopefully my last) set of college applications. Time to sit back and embrace death.
I just got told I’m number 12 in my class, but it’s a 3-way tie for number 12. I need to work really hard this semester to break the tie. (Top 12 are honor graduates.)
I haven’t started a single supplement for my early schools. I have a basic idea of what I’m gonna write for most of them, but I need to get cracking asap. Finally finished with my Common App essay and am pretty satisfied with it though.
So my 4 figured class size just magically increased by 40 ppl…
My MIT interview is tomorrow. Don’t know how to feel about that.
Pardon the frosh, but @XoXdreamerXoX GOOD LUCK!!!
@awesomepolyglot Thanks! I’m currently freaking out.
Is it inappropriate to write about transgender in an essay
I’m so nervous about college admissions I literally feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it
@letmeseetheworld I don’t see why it would be inappropriate if it’s something that has impacted your life? And I’m so nervous as well, but we can do this! Let’s go high school class of 2016! <:-P
@XoXodreamerXoX mine is Saturday!! I’m rather scared, but he seem like a cool guy (yes, I looked my interviewer up lol), so hopefully all will go well. Best of luck to you!
@XoXdreamerXoX GOOD LUCK!!! We’re all rooting for you!
Thanks, you all. Honestly, CC is one of the best things that has happened to me. I feel more prepared to take on college (and actually know college exists) and I began shooting for better and higher goals. I don’t know if it’ll work out for the colleges I’m applying to, but now I’m willing to try. And you all are nice, haha. Without this site, I would’ve never known of anything besides my own high school and as a first generation student in a place where college isn’t a “thing”, this has been a great resource (although time-consuming).
@XoXdreamerXoX I think that is the kindest thing anyone has written on this thread!
I feel so lucky to be a part of this community. To know there are people like me who have aspirations. This thread is a breathe of fresh air compared to the competitive people at my school. Even though everyone is incredibly intelligent, you are all so encouraging. With application deadlines just around the corner, I feel like this thread won’t be as active anymore in a few months. But I want you all to know that you have encouraged, inspired and helped me so much over the past year. No matter where we end up in life, you’re all amazing people!
@kuriosmind Hopefully it stays active enough to hit 1000 pages
Last night was the first night I didn’t have so much homework I had to stay up until 2 a.m., but I ended up staying up until 2 a.m. because I couldn’t sleep.
@LordBendtner Out of curiosity, what was it that you were 1 point away from getting a 35 on?
@QuirkyClarkie ACT. It hurt more because I changed two of my answers and both were wrong.
