Thanks for reminding me of this list! I remember using this to look for a lot of my schools, cross checking with my counselor’s list, it was very helpful!

You can apply just for Oxford then add other universities later. But you only write one personal statement and have one reference. Those can’t be changed after the initial submission and aren’t specific to the university(ies) applied to.

So you need the reference when you make the first application. If your senior year teacher is willing to write it before October then that’s fine.

Looking ahead a bit, would you like to study abroad in China as a college student?

I was considering the idea with nyush, but I definitely want to do an exchange somewhere.

I understand, I will ask them, but I haven’t had them as an actual teacher before, so it may be difficult for them to write in that capacity.

As something on the horizon to consider, Hamilton will be building a computer science facility with “best-in-class technologies and resources.” It’s scheduled to be completed by the second semester of your sophomore year.
