One question. Do you plan on going as an 8th grader or are you just applying to get a feel of it and actually going to expect to get in as a 9th Grader?
How many of you guys have submitted your application yet?
@YoloSwagMaster I haven’t submitted mine yet since I am still writing the essays.
@YoloSwagMaster I am still working on my essays too. My language art teacher said she does not have time to read my essays. Hope she will have time to write an evaluation for me… :-<
@javascript wow that’s rough. My teacher and I are finally going to discuss it after school on Friday.
My school counselor keeps saying I can submit transcripts from Powerschool and refuses to do anything more or even explain it and it’s driving me up three walls and a half. I wrote my essays though.
Man, I really have a problem with procrastination. Even with something like this, I still procrastinate
@YoloSwagMaster Me too. I didn’t finish all my essays until last weekend, and still revising. ugh
I’m submitting my application today. I’m not waiting till monday
Excuse my harsh language but fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, my counselor finally wants to talk to be about sending in my transcript on TUESDAY and I don’t know how to convince him to work this out over email with me over the weekend or even before the end of tonight.
@ red42413 Teachers evaluations and transcripts are due March 1! As long as you send a request to a counselor you are fine, just make sure he will send it by March 1
@javascript But that’s the thing, he doesn’t even to think about the link until Tuesday. AND I’ve been asking him how he wants to do this since late December/Early January-in person and in emails. (I’m just a lil salty atm)
well, just send him a request through application and he can respond to it by March 1. The worst case if on Tuesday he will not find the link even in spam folder, ask him to send transcript by regular mail to IMSA postmarked by March 1
I probably will just send him the link and then email him saying that I can no longer send it to him after Feb 1st. Thanks though, I’m a bit of a panicker.
Just relax, everything will be ok 
I just submitted my app. I am so stressed and panicking. What did you guys write for the 3rd essay I had no idea!!!
Your app is great, I’m sure! I mean, you got in last year as an eighth grader so this year, you probably have one of the highest chances of getting in out of all of us, you’re a smarticle particle.
I wrote about interdependence in nature and learning from others to further strengthen the community knowledge bank as everyone has different experiences they can share their experiences on.
Do you think citing specific classes in the second essay helps or hurts my essay? I mean, I specified specific unique classes and why I would want to take them.
@YoloSwagMaster I am sure you will get in. @red42413 why would it hurt you? If it is that you need to support your point just do it! :-B
I have a question: is talent-based scholarship is considered an award?
I’m just so paranoid over these apps and I don’t want them to think I’m stalking the school or anything >.>
I think so! And it’s awesome you have a talent-based scholarship, like holy cow!
