<p>easy way to pass the time–
reread harry potter (:</p>
<p>i’m on the third book. haha</p>
<p>If I didn’t have 15 essays to write, I’d do that. I tend to do that around Christmas every few years. November and December are just slow-moving months. But it’s not like I’m getting anything written anyways. Rice and Chicago have the worst supplements… at least Stanford had pretty straightforward essays! Alas. But, I think tonight I’ll work on GW and BU… they are easier (yet not easy). I really just need to WRITE. My problem is that I’m THINKING and not WRITING!</p>
<p>P.S. - Do not go back and re-read your essays. What I thought was a moving masterpiece sounds like **** now.</p>
<p>@applicannot: exactly my case T_T i went back and re-read my essay…doesn’t soun dso amazing now.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! JUST ABOUT ONE MORE WEEK LEFT! I can’t wait to come back and see who got in! I can only hope that I’m among the lucky ones!</p>
<p>I can’t believe it’s only a week away. I’m glad we’re going away for the holidays!</p>
<p>Are you? Holidays go slow for me. I will just keep staring at the calendar. Sad.</p>
<p>I don’t know about everyone else, but I’d rather be at home waiting than at school where I have to pay attention…</p>
<p>Yay! 200th post!</p>
<p>School distracts me from thinking about QuestBridge. Is it so bad that I wish I had classes now…?</p>
<p>It might help to relieve some stress - Does anyone get notified before December 1st for Questbridge Match?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure no one does because it’s QB that lets us know and that’s the notification date they’ve given. It’s not really up to individual schools to notify us.</p>
<p>@stevenboi: I only have 4 things left that are “initiated” too! Well, this makes me feel a bit better, but I still have a bone to pick with Emory because I applied for Emory Scholars too (If I get it, which is unlikely, I’d be able to eliminate work-study) but they didn’t get the application at all! It’s not even on the website to get a status and I’ve been emailing them back and forth for over a week now. Maybe it’s lost in the mail…</p>
<p>if you emailed the admissions office with info. update but they never replied…does that mean you’re prob. in the reject pile already, since they didn’t bother replying?</p>
<p>Does anyone’s Penn Items still say they’re missing Application Signature, SSR, and Counselor Recommendation? It’s only a week a way from notification time and I’m getting worried.</p>
<p>Stanford is ‘missing’ my SSR still. i know it’s not possible, so i just left it at that…</p>
<p>@CodeH: I think they probably didn’t bother replying because they’ve received your email and made the appropriate changes (didn’t you email them about your EC or something?) Or, they don’t care because it’s not significant enough of an issue to affect your application.</p>
<p>hey everyone, can’t believe the decision is only a week away. good luck to everyone and please let me know if you get matched.
UGH…so nervous :)</p>
<p>Ugh why does my PennPortal say that my SSR and Counselor rec are missing? T_T</p>
<p>Ju_liaa no worries, missing SSRs is a big issue for lots of EDing seniors in my school. The guidance office assured us that it will be fixed or it isn’t a problem…</p>
<p>crystal91, prob. not important. i wanted to clarify something. lol</p>
<p>arghhh! I cannot concentrate on my AP Lit essay. December 1st, please come soon!</p>
<p>I wrote an essay last night! I wrote an essay last night! Yay me! Let’s see if I can do another tonight. Ugh. AP World History work today. P.S. - 7 days 'til D-Day (we aren’t counting the actual 1st, right? although we don’t even get decisions until 8:00!).</p>
