High School Class of 2019

I am! I’m a senior in the DC area! Have you had the 2nd round interview yet? If so, I hope it went well.

Good luck! @bigboyk_ I am in chicago. I had my DAP2 in late September, so I’m thinking emails should be getting sent out in a week or so? Is there a posse thread btw?

@Class2023GetsLit sorry that I saw this so late. Thanks so much for the well wishes! I’m crossing my fingers for you to get good news in a few days from Posse Chicago! You killed it and you’ll get through :slight_smile:

I had my interview in late September as well. I was told that the decision comes in late october to early november but there’s no specific date. You have to watch your email religiously though because when they send the notification that you advanced to the final round, you have like 48 hours to accept.

The posse thread on cc is “posse scholarship - ask away”.

What were your top three schools?

S’up guys! Been a while since I posted.
Update on my life:
I’m a merit finalist! Woohoo!
Where are my Oct. 6 SAT scores???
Rowing is hard!
Show choir is hard!
Writing is hard!
Math is hard!
I want to sleep, all the time, even though I’m sleeping more each night now than in any of my years of high school.

Anyone else a Questbridge finalist? Excited but don’t want to finish up my applications aha
Also got my October SAT score today… super happy!!

Back after an existentialist half-year or so away from this forum! Decided to shift my university major(s) of choice toward the arts and humanities after a gruelling few years on the pre-IB/IBDP STEM-heavy track. This year I’m taking IB HL English and History, but overall my courses feel much more fulfilling and relevant to my interests. Just finished applying ED to NYU Tisch after having attended their summer program. Still saddled with anxiety over career prospects + financial challenges of paying tuition since I’m an international student but such is life, I guess.

Also saw my Oct. 6 SAT II scores. Didn’t prepare that well and not sure why I even wrote them, but it’s too late - scores have already been sent to NYU, who didn’t require them. That, and the fact that I chose my third subject at random on test day. Not sure which decision is worse.

I’m such a meme and brimming with performative angst 25/8 I can’t even

The girl who sits next to me in APES has already applied to all 4 of her schools… I’m not even 100% done with my Common App essay. I’m applying to Rice ED and Case Western, University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and UNC Charlotte EA.

@yearbooker congrats! Which schools did you rank?

@MangoLover11223 thank you! :slight_smile: I ranked Princeton, UPenn, and Notre Dame (Northwestern as well but I’m removing it from my list).

kinda sad that starting from like next week, it’s signaling the end of this thread, when in like 6 months, co19 will become co23

Kinda wild how quiet this thread has been this year, too… I grew up with the Sunday Night Homework Club and now I’m nostalgic.

true, i’ll miss college confidential, i rlly just lurked but it’ll be something i miss. not overanalyzing ED results tho

aw this thread!

While we’re all dying from college admissions, if you bought smash or you have a switch in general, private msg me your friend code :slight_smile:

S’up nerds!

Just applied to a bunch of schools.

Amherst
Bowdoin
Colby
Rice
and Williams!

Gonna hit up WUSTL and UChicago tomorrow. Harvey Mudd and Oberlin coming up soon after.

Good luck in your apps!

Also, if you have steam, hmu through private message.

Class of 2020 dropping by here, but good luck with your applications seniors! I can’t imagine how terrifying and exciting it must be all at once to be applying to all these schools.

You guys are awesome, and I’m sure of that. You guys got this!

Have a nice day.

Hey, everyone! I’m a couple days late, but I wanted to congratulate everyone in making to the finish line (More or less), and to say good luck to everyone still finishing your apps, you can do it!
Myself, I’m gonna go and agonize over calculus, and try not to think about college. I first hear back from Purdue in a week and a half. #:-S
Good luck, everyone, and let’s go, Class of '19!

@TerrisAdAstra Thanks, you too, and to everyone!

By chance, is your username indicating Elon’s school, or no?

@RussianbioHacker Actually, I had no idea about that school until I looked it up. Just a reference to what I want to do for a career (Astrophysicist).

@kungfukenny I still don’t know if I should buy a switch and which games to buy with it. Any recommendations?
