My D submitted to UMCP a few weeks ago…waiting!
I finally took the ACT! Here’s to hoping I get a 28+ for a full ride scholarship because math killed me
My last marching band championships is tomorrow, and I’m high key excited and nervous and scared at the same time haha we haven’t won once, even when we dropped down to a lower division of competition, and I think we’ve got a promising show if everyone puts in 110% but I’m kinda scared I’m putting so much pressure on it…
We gave senior speeches, and the juniors gave their junior speeches to us, and I BAWLED the entire time!!! It’s finally real now… I’m a senior!
just submitted brown and northeastern, i feel bad and good at the same time… i hope i dont get arrested since im scared that i accidentally filled out a part wrong and they put me in jail or soemthing
Submitting my CWRU application in the next few days! I also took the ACT for the first time this morning. I have no idea how I did but I’m hoping for at least a 30 and my dream would be to get a score upwards of a 33-34. We’ll see in a few weeks.
Also, are any of you going to MIT Splash in a few weeks? I’m in the middle of signing up and it looks fun!
<p>My daughter (class of 2018) has gone to MIT Splash and is going again. She really enjoyed it last year. Northeastern had a similar program which I think was called Waterfall that she didn’t like as much as MIT and isn’t doing it again. </p>
<p>I just registered to visit Fredonia with my mom! I’m excited that she’s changed her perspective and is willing to visit colleges with me now

I have a question about Coalition, I just submitted to UMD on the 28th and my application checklist still says that they haven’t received my complete application data. But I filled out the whole application and if I hadn’t done a certain part then it would not have let me submit in the first place. I don’t know but I’m really worried about this, has anyone seen this too? Is there another portal where I can look? I also express shipped my SAT scores to them and they still haven’t received that even though I expressed it a week ago. I don’t know if Coalition is just slow to update or what but I’m just worried about it because I applied priority Nov 1. Any help or advice is appreciated!
What major? I’m Public Health 
@lycoris, That happened to my D too. Don’t worry, it takes 4-5 days for everything to update for UMD.
Thank you so much, I ended up calling admissions and they assured me everything was received and to wait a few days for things to update on my end!
@lycoris Depending on what each school offers, I’m either International Studies, International Relations, or Political Science w/ International Relations concentration.
Also, I just got accepted into The College of Saint Rose today! I’m so pumped! I’m accepted to 3/5 colleges I’ve applied to so far, and should hear from the others soon!
About to click submit on my EA application for WPI, my top chocie school! So excited!!
Now, lets see if I can write those last two essays for MIT tonight… it would have been one and a half but my computer died :((
Does anyone else here have issues with people gossiping and spreading rumors about you? Specifically things about the application process? Last year one of my friends-but-not-a-good-friend asked what I got on my SAT and I told her because I didn’t think it was a a big deal, but then suddenly the whole school knows. Now, this kid is going around telling everyone I’m a liar and that I couldn’t have possibly done that well, even my best friends. This has had the unfortunate result of even more people asking for my scores, something I’m not entirely comfortable sharing. But not telling makes it seem like I am lying. How do I handle this? It’s so frustrating aaaahhhhh
@Marg532 I got my acceptance letter for St. Rose too today!
@ski_racer I don’t know that feeling necessarily, but it seems my entire grade is talking about me. I am/was the first one in my class to be accepted into a college, much less two. My school makes a list of seniors and where they have been accepted, and I think they posted it in the senior lounge, which would explain why I haven’t seen it yet (I never go in there - most of the people in there aren’t very nice) and now it seems like half of my class is asking me about my applications and where I’ve gotten in and see me as a person to complain about the college application process to. Which I don’t mind with some people, but others have barely spoken two words in my direction before this. It’s so frustrating!!!
@ski_racer I sort of know how you feel. I shared my ACT score with my friend, and this one girl overheard and screamed it to my entire English class, and it spread quickly. Now everyone knows me as the girl who got a 33 on her ACT. People keep asking me for advice, and I try to help because I don’t want to admit that it wasn’t that hard for me. To my entire class, I’m always the one who scores high on my tests, whether it be a regular test in class or a standardized test. Whenever they bombed a test, they NEED to know what grade I got in order to judge how hard it actually was. If I got under a 93 on a test, they feel that their bad grade is justified. Definitely not the worst way to be known, but I wish people would see me as someone other than “the girl who gets good test grades.”
And even worse, it’s moving into college. I got a much better grade on a test and a paper than this senior in my college class. He sees me as that smart high schooler in his class. My whole class thinks I’m incredibly smart because I’m taking a college class when I’m still in HS.
At my other college course, I got a high grade on the test, and now this one girl is latching onto me for help because she bombed it. She’s a freshman and she’s having a super hard time adjusting to college life, so I get it. It just sucks.
Sorry for the rant, but I hate only being known for being smart. Like, these people don’t bother to learn who I am because all they want is to know what I got on a test.
In other news, I had my Syracuse interview yesterday and I think it went well. Also went to a concert last night in Philly, and it was amazing.
I have my speech for my college course tomorrow. I think I’m doing pretty well. I’m going to practice more tomorrow before I go. I’m just hoping that I can meet time.
Side note: went to the doctor today and found out some of my leg muscles are super tight which made my ankles weak which made me walk on the outside of my feet. So essentially, if I don’t fix it now, I could have arthritis by the time I’m 25. Also, the reason heels hurt my ankles so much is that they are so weak that wearing them long enough probably would break my ankles. Fun.
Common App is starting to lag for me. Occasionally getting error messages. Is anyone else having this issue?
