@tonystarkofwinterfell Aw, that sucks! I got a silver key last year for my one submission, but I thought it was worth more than that…we’ll see this time.
Holy moly these TASP essays are taking forever…
@loquatical Haven’t even started yet :-S I’m seriously debating whether I should even bother applying.
My sister got into USC with almost a full ride!!! (Southern California!!) WE ARE SO HAPPY! I have big shoes to fill. LOL
@sprights Congrats to your sister!
@sprights congrats to your sister! That’s great! USC is a really good school.
@foliontai @tonystarkofwinterfell thank you! After the MIT deferral, we were super bummed but now we can’t be any more excited 
@sprights do you know her stats? I love USC!
@ZBlue17 Yep! 2300 SAT (800 M, 750 CR/W) 3.98 UW/4.8 W, NMF, rank 10/330-ish, 16 AP’s, no score less than 4, tried out for jr olympics (swimming) has a part time job writing articles, president of speech and debate, 4 yrs varsity swim, 2nd in city finals, did research with a professor, etc. Way more accomplished than I will ever be :-S
Oh yeah, also applied for engineering (cs i think, ill ask when she comes back from her celebration w her friends!)
@sprights Your sister has amazing stats!
@photogeek8 I know! She definitely works very hard
@sprights Wow congrats to your sis, that’s amazing! With her stats she could have made any ivy league as well! (if it wasn’t such a lottery haha)
@sprights You and your sister and the rest of your family must be thrilled!

Is anyone here applying to the Iowa Young Writers’ Studio or the Kenyon Review Young Writer’s Workshop?
hi guys. Tomorrow I have sort of like an “open house” for next year’s classes. I pick my senior classes in like a week too. Nervous but excited!
@TheLandOfArielle Yeah she applied to Princeton, Yale, and Harvard! I think she wants to stay in-state though so USC is perfect!
@GrandBudapest I would, but I’ve sold my soul to math/science summer programs (with the exception of TASP) because writing ones are so expensive and they don’t last very long qq.
@wattba12 it’s really cool that you get to do that! My school has nothing like it. We usually pick classes in March (also known as the time when I have to make major life choices); I have no idea what I’m taking next year (which is probably going to be problematic for me come March).
@GrandBudapest I would love to, but I’m not sure how my parents would take it if I told them I wanted to apply to a writing program. As tonystark said, they’re really expensive and are only about three weeks.
I have soooooo much make-up work to do!!! I missed 3 days last week because I was sick and it sucked!
I am so stir crazy. Been stuck in my house for 3 days because of the blizzard.
