Almost done with Columbia!! I still have a bunch left, but they’re mostly why ______ essays.
It is going to feel so good when all these apps are sent in.
I FEEL PRESSURE TO APPLY TO EVEN MORE COLLEGES AND I DUNNO WHY AHHHHHHH
i’m almost done with my essays but NOT DONE WITH MY ART and also scholarships and i am screeCHING
ugh, 10/19 done? I have 6 due Jan 01 more than halfway done though!
Totally regret procrastinating right now but oh well
Aghhh the IDOC was basically literal hell… I scanned in documents for FOUR HOURS yesterday!
Now that all my applications are in, I’m more nervous than ever… I hate having no control (other than some interviews) over the process now.
OMG literally god bless reusing essays. At this point, my essays say pretty much the same thing lmaooooo
@tigerman333 Yeah, I’ll definitely take a look at yours!
@coffee-and-cramming LOL ya same i literally reused the body paragraphs for why penn and northwestern! hopefully I don’t forget to substitute the schools names each time :^)
aDDED TWO MORE SCHOOLS BUT IM SORTA ALMOST DONE WITH SUPPS, just need to edit a lil and ahhhhh
i kinda don’t want to let them go. i know it’s all kind of a cr-pshoot anyway, especially with the schools in the top echelons of education and all, but i’m still scared :")
@desideratum Same but I just gave up editing and was like what the heck and submitted them.
Guys I’m kinda worried. I submitted my common app to ALL my schools and I just realized that my essay has weird spacing in all of them! It’s double spaced between the paragraphs so there are huge spaces between them. Idk what to do. Do you think it will negatively affect my application?
@coffee-and-cramming That is from copy and pasting. It happened to me too, but I noticed it before I sent it in. It should not affect your application decision.
Don’t let it keep you up at night I-)
does anyone know if there’s a link where official college acceptances for class of 2021 is? like the one that has “list school and username”
@ambitiousgeek I think that’s it, yeah.
@coffee-and-cramming Don’t sweat it too much! I’m sure the people who look over your application realize formatting issues happen when you transfer your essay from your word document to the Common App! In the grand scheme of things I doubt an admissions officer will be like, “oh coffee-and-cramming has some odd spacing in their Common App, so we shouldn’t let them in.”
ALL APPS DONE!!! i am so tired of writing about myself. can i get a vacation from me?
May you bathe in the fruits of your labor in the coming months. @niclyd95 If you know… that is what people do with fruit.
You never know with all the eccentric, ethnic, New Years traditions…

@swim1128 Congrats!! I have I think just 6 more left!
