<p>@ada: wow cool! I don’t think race is as big of a factor as people make it to be. Working hard gets you much further. Apply to USC!! wheee graduation will be intense. I know I won’t be able to stop crying </p>
<p>CPU that’s horrible. Have you done anything about it?</p>
<p>Literally everyone has. I could go around the school and recall EXACT things people have said/done to me. Since 3rd grade. </p>
<p>I guess I’m prejudiced against northern people. I see them as rude and conceited. I live down south before the bullying happened, and everyone was nice and respectful.</p>
<p>I want a single dorm lol. From the schools I’m applying to, I’ll most likely get one. I’ve had to share a room with my little sister for YEARS. </p>
<p>Gah, color coordination :)</p>
<p>EDIT: huskies- yeah, but nothing ever gets done. Thats why I want to get out of here so bad.</p>
<p>@CPU only one year left !! you can do it ! and watch when we’re older and THEY work for YOU , theyll be sorry !! i would HATE a single dorm. ive always had my own room, strictly for sleepovers and for decoration. i dont sleep in it. i sleep in my little brothers room cuz im afraid of sleeping alone. </p>
<p>some of the schools im applying to have TRIPLES !! yeahhh !!! :D</p>
<p>Psht. I wouldn’t even hire them. But thanks, you guys made me feel a lot better :)</p>
<p>hahaaha…wow guys. we’re (almost) all applying to USC? damn. I need to step it up. :p</p>
<p>@ghuskies: yeah, tell me about it. Next year equals the following - AP Econ, AP English Lit, AP Chinese, AP Environmental Science, and either AP Gov&Politics or AP European History. I really want to take Euro, but they might not offer it next year. /: Plus I want to take english electives in Film and Philosophy. Get excited. (;</p>
<p>@ada: my mom’s already gone crazy about dorm shopping. it’s funny because she doesn’t want me to leave the state, but last Black Friday she had waaay too much fun. Whoever my roommate is might end up falling in love with her. She bought a mp3-speaker thing, all these weird dorm-esque things (a tea strainer for your tea cup? i have it. a fork + spoon + chopsticks in one? i have it. -<em>-; ), and she bought a TV. A freaking TV. It’s not that big or expensive [Black Friday is amazing.] but still. I can only imagine what chaos will insue next year. .</em>_.</p>
<p>@CPU: That’s not cool. Bullying is NOT cool. (Not that I even have to SAY that.) Just hang in there, girl. College will be amazing. Seriously. It WILL be worth it. (:</p>
<p>When I get admissions, I’ll cry. Of sheer happiness.</p>
<p>And I REALLY want a roommate. I’m actually SUPER excited about that. Half the students at my school are boarders, and I love the roomie-relationship. I’m always hanging around the dorms and everyone knows everyone. A lot of people are like family. I feel like if I had a single dorm, i’d just end up falling asleep and not doing anything after school. =_=</p>
<p>when i get admissions i’ll explode into glitter lmao !! im getting happy just thinking about it.</p>
<p>@indigo: i went to a boarding school last year !! loved it ! especially the food!
speaking of food? summers coming! whos hitting the gym? i know i am!</p>
<p>@ada LOL exploding into glitter! that’s epic. Yes. I. Need. To. Work. Out. Otherwise Cross-Country is going to kill me when I get back. Also, whenever I take too long of a break from exercise (at least 30 minutes of cardio a day) I get SUPER lazy. I just sleep all day, I swear I’m like a sloth. Except hopefully more attractive. ><strong>>
@ada, I never got where you were applying to. Where do you live? o</strong>O</p>
<p>@CPU: i know what you mean. if I get into any of my top three (or 4), I will do cartwheels. And I don’t know how to do those. I will SPECIFICALLY learn cartwheels, just to celebrate my happiness of being admitted. If I get into USC and am able to afford it, I might scream. And cry. Or both. It sounds very painful and ugly, but I assure you, I will be happy. And I will frame the document of acceptance. Or laminate it. Or photocopy it and do both.</p>
<p>omg indigo do both!! and take a picture of you holding it and send to your grandparents! honestly thats what i’d do. </p>
<p>and i live upstate NewYork . applying to USC, GWU, Georgetown, JHU, UCLA, UC berkeley, drexel, Emory, and columbia to give my dad piece of mind. and maybe suny binghamton just in case God turns against me and i get denied everywhere else , although i doubt that would happen.</p>
<p>now where are you applying and where do you live? you probably already posted it but im too lazy to go through all the posts.</p>
<p>Out of six schools with competitive admissions, I better get in. Just one, at LEAST.
the Val of last year applied to 3 ivies and our state school. He was only accepted to the state school. That’s a big risk. What if they would have rejected him? </p>
<p>And I heard he said he got rejected “because he’s Asian.” he seems like a nice guy so I can’t picture this. But you never know. Man. June cannot come fast enough.</p>
<p>Hey I’m doing AP Econ (micro and macro) and Lit too. Also AP Spanish, AP Calc BC, AP Physics, and business communications + accounting. Wooooo…</p>
<p>My mom definitely bought me stainless steel chopsticks in a cute pink case. They screw together so they are compact and can be taken apart. wow lol.</p>
<p>Wait…why did the val say he got rejected because he was Asian? What?</p>
<p>i wish i could use chopsticks :/</p>
<p>Yes! I will send them a laminated copy! (:</p>
<p>I live in the Midwest.
It’s pretty nice here, but that’s all I can say: it’s nice. I want to get oh-so-very-far away for college. [:</p>
<p>I want to major in Film Production, but if that doesn’t happen, i’m going for Screenwriting or Dramatic Writing or Creative Writing, so that will explain my choices:</p>
<p>USC (pleassseee), Chapman, Emerson, NYU, Boston U, JHU, Bard, Bennington, Sarah Lawrence, and Middlebury.</p>
<p>I was also thinking UCLA, but their avergae GPA is 4.0 UW. O__O Plus I’d feel like a traitor…my USC love is just too strong. The last couple of schools I mentioned are kind of small, but I like them because of the independence they give students to study what they’re interested in. AND slightly easier to get into. (;</p>
<p>Ahhhhh Columbia used to be my DREAM. I wanted to go there for Creative Writing & Film SO Bad. But then my GPA took a dip down to a 3.6/3.7 and I discovered USC, which looks so much more appealing to me. :3 Maybe I’ll apply there for the heck of it? I still love their Creative Writing program.</p>
<p>Haha…I don’t get it. Why would applying to Columbia give your dad a piece of your mind? : P</p>
<p>Asians are “ORMs”</p>
<p>EDIT: I like Yale. My mom LOVES IT. So yeah peace of mind for her haha just kidding, a little. She’d be so happy.</p>
<p>Just woke up from a 2 hour nap, whoop whoop!</p>
<p>-reread whatever I missed- Okay, let’s see… I’m excited for dorm shopping, too.
I’ve already picked out the dorms I want to stay in at all of my schools ■■■■■. (: Call me crazy.</p>
<p>@ada: That’s cool that you’re Nigerian! I know sooo many Nigerians ahaha., who are so chill, but at the same time so hardworking lol.
I’m 100% mixed
lol.</p>
<p>And I LOVE HOW HELLA PEOPLE HERE ARE APPLYING TO USC
CPU, hop on the bandwagon ■■■■■.
USC is my dream school. I’d probably start crying, screaming, play my acceptance song, and pass out haha.
If I got the scholarship invite, I’d pull my apps from my RD schools immediately.</p>
<p>@ghuskies: BC Calc sounds fun. Not. XD I heard the BC exam is killer, but BC kids usually ace the AB subscore. I know a couple of kids who got a 5 though. I don’t know…I might be biased because math because my least favorite subject after I took an algebra II + precalculus + trig course-in-one sophomore year. Then again, you MUST like math to be taking BC + AP Physics + Accounting + Econ. Again, best of luck.</p>
<p>@ada: use them for a week, and you’ll never forget how to use them. :p</p>
<p>@CPU: oh yale is so awesome! they look like a pretty tight community. have you seen the admissions video? I LOLed. The Admissions guy is a Yale alum, and he wrote all the music himself. You HAVE to watch it if you haven’t already. I would definitely apply there if they had a better film program. Sadly, they do not. /: [YouTube</a> - That’s Why I Chose Yale](<a href=“That's Why I Chose Yale - YouTube”>That's Why I Chose Yale - YouTube)</p>
<p>UCLA is 4.0 ?? okaaaaay then scratch that.
columbia gives him piece of mind because
- its only an hour and 20 min away and
- he wants me in an ivy . not that im getting in…</p>
<p>oh yeah i forgot to add boston U and boston C. </p>
<p>@marine: yaaay nigeria !! haha nigerian parents tend to be strict on grades though. with my mom, an 85 is like the end of the world. except with pre-calc because its not easy for me.
and yeah CPU apply with us !!!</p>
<p>I haven’t seen the video, but I’ve visited because it’s so close. I love it. </p>
<p>Marine- heck no! My mom wouldn’t let me go lol. And I don’t want to mess up any of your chances by increasing the app pool. You all should have your glory :)</p>
<p>@Marine: Welcome back! Dude, you seriously are like, my kin, or something. NAPS ARE MY LIFE. I sleep waaaay too much. When I’m bored or can’t handle something or just want to escape/stop thinking, I nap. </p>
<p>Also, they just can’t resist USC’s awesomeness. Just…really. What’s not to love? o_O</p>
