Match day is tomorrow! Good luck to all of the Questies who applied through the NCM!
@kassh4 Literally me. I took a mental health day today and didn’t go to school since I have a Physics test tomorrow that I’m trying not to fail because my Physics teacher Is really no help at this point. I have to plan, write, and record my keynote speech in two weeks and I still have apps to do. This weekend, my NASA college class starts and we are having study sessions on Saturday and Sunday and I have a Calculus test on Tuesday. I’m not really drowning in stress, more like accepting the fact that I may or may not get everything done or done well.
I got into Binghamton, my safety school
Haven’t posted in a while but here’s an update:
Penn State (In-state) - Accepted
Applied to Michigan and Princeton Early
Submitted RD for Williams and Dartmouth
Submitted to Washington & Lee yesterday (Hoping for Johnson Finalist)
Still need to finish Colgate and Cornell then I’m done!
@reidd799 Congrats! I also got into PSU from in-state. Probably won’t attend, but it’s still nice to hear back from them.
I’m gonna join everyone else in saying one thing: I’m shook.
I messed up the bubbling on a MC test today (in AP Chem, also known as the highlight of my day) and I frantically erased my answers and replaced them with what I intended to put. The scantron began on #51 on number 1, and for some reason, I thought #58 was number 18, so about five or six of my answers were flipped.
Currently, I am concerned that:
- I made the SAME mistake even after recognizing the error and checking/fixing the answers
- The scantron will pick up my eraser marks and mark my answers incorrect even after I fixed them
- A combination of both 1 and 2 will occur
I am so lucky that I suffer from advanced senioritis. If this were last year, I would be having a full-fledged mental breakdown and drowning my sorrows in a bottle of NyQuil right now.
good luck finishing up the rest of your apps everyone!!
Goodluck to all the QB applicants today!
I matched to a college! I can’t say which one because so few scholars matched to this college that it would give me away.
Yale decision in 13 days )))):
and congrats!!! @aspiringgirl
Congrats! @aspiringgirl
@aspiringgirl Congrats!
@aspiringgirl Congrats!!!
Alright, SAT Subject Tests today. Second and final round of testing. Lol the scores will be out on December 15, which is when I’ll probably get my Stanford REA decision. That day will break me.
@aspiringgirl Congratulations!!!
I just submitted my USC and BU apps! The last essay I wrote was the biospecimen one for BU Trustee scholarship, and I think it was pretty good. It’s something we focused on in my sophomore year bio class, and I’ve written debate speeches dealing with similar topics, so it’s something I’m familiar with.
I only have two more apps left, and they’re both due in January. My college classes end in two weeks, so I’ll have plenty of time to work on those. I hope I get those in before Christmas, so I can relax.
Also, I just realized that I hear back from Emerson on the day of my final for my communication class. How fitting. Hope both turn out well!
Really good advice that everyone should pay attention to
Never, ever, ever (seriously, never) do a group project with your best friend. I wish someone had told me that before I started high school.
@ski_racer I’ve never heard of that kind of attack before. I’ve had ones where I feel like my mind is outside of my head and I’m just watching myself - it happened in gym this week and it was kinda obvious to everyone around me that something was wrong but no one asked.
@carmen00 That’s literally my worst fear (getting an attack while driving)!
Also my Questie friend? She got into her dream school and I’m so proud of her omg sorry but I just wanted to brag about her to someone other than my mom, who barely understands this stuff (she was impressed she got into an Ivy, though, she knows that much lol)
and @aspiringgirl that’s so awesome!
Wow, today (well, technically yesterday) was the craziest day of my life. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I could get into my top school, but December 1st I found out I matched to Stanford University through QB. I would visit this website everyday anxiously looking at stats of accepted students and psych myself out, and whenever anyone would ask me what my top school is I would always lower my voice, as if ashamed to dream, and say Stanford, quickly followed by a laugh or “I’ll never get in though”. Wow, just wow. I’m still in shock. I just want to say to that this year has been the craziest rollercoaster mentally and emotionally, not because of applications but purely because of the self-doubt I had. Remember, you are greater than you think you are, and the people around you and in the admissions office know that. You will accomplish great things and end up somewhere amazing. I believe in each and every one of you and I hope I can see some of you on The Farm next year!
congratulations!!! @neonerudite
