<p>I shall ignore your last sentence because I missed you, dewdrop.</p>
<p>I MISSED YOU TOO!!</p>
<p>When I refreshed the page and saw that you were the last to respond, I smiled at the computer screen.
:)</p>
<p>Good news guys: I plan on submitting all my apps today. :D</p>
<p>I’m still hesitant of whether to send all my scores or just the 2 highest. =/ My thing is that why send the 3rd score if it’s not even that great to begin with? Lol I fail at CollegeBoard testing. :(</p>
<p>Haha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee. <3</p>
<p>Hun, they’re not gonna charge you extra for the 3rd score, just send it, yeah? The percentile’s what counts really.</p>
<p>Lol. I knowwww but the percentile for Lit is 56. USH is 57 and I think Bio was 60.</p>
<p>Oh, and is it still totally ok that my Amherst essay is ~670 words. =/</p>
<p>I have the same question actually. Mine’s 674 and I CANNOT wittle it down. CANNOT. What do I dooooooooooooooooo.</p>
<p>I can’t shorten it either because it’ll lose it flow. How are you formatting it? Double spaced and Times New Roman font 12?</p>
<p>Oh, here’s what’s ironic about my SAT IIs: My rec letters are by my AP Bio and AP USH teacher. LOL FAIL</p>
<p>To the first question: yup.</p>
<p>I guess they’ll understand that you’re just not wonderful at standardized testing. Or they’ll think you had a bad day, or something…I think you can make up for it with good essays.</p>
<p>Haha. That’s what I’m counting on. Ohhhh Amhersttt!! </p>
<p>I’m formatting mine Garamond (because I love that font), size 12 and 1.5 spaced. =/</p>
<p>EDIT: CAN I format it like that? Lol</p>
<p>ROFL you can format it any way you want, I’m pretty sure.</p>
<p>Are you sure we can keep it at 670ish words? Anybody want to weigh in on this?</p>
<p>I am officially awake.
Shower me with love. Now.</p>
<p><em>jumps on DC and squishes her, while screaming “I MISSED YOU!!!”</em></p>
<p>And now on to business: can the supplemental be 674 words?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Well, does it <em>look</em> like 674 words? Or read like it?</p>
<p>Nope. But they can use word count to figure out that it is.</p>
<p><em>JUMPS ON DRAMA AND SQUISHES HER, WHILE SCREAMING “I MISSED YOU MORE THAT QUASI!!!”</em></p>
<p>I win just because I used more exclamation points and wrote it in all caps.</p>
<p>See, for my essay…it flows really well so it’s not like you’ll stop at the 500th word and stop reading. And I mean, they can’t really NOT finish reading it. Isn’t 500 limit just a guideline? They say PLEASE limit your responses to 500, they didn’t say responses MUST be capped at 500.</p>
<p>Any other pointers?</p>
<p>EDIT: How can they use word count? Copy it onto a MS word doc and do word count? I don’t think they’d do that…if the essay was 1000 words, then that would be problematic, I would assume.</p>
<p>You said that, not than. It makes it more like you wanted to say “I missed you more, that Quasi!” to me in a really weird, grammatically challenged way.</p>
<p>You can admit it. You did, didn’t you?</p>
<p>I’m with MM with the flow thing. How scary is it that both of us have ~670 words?</p>
<p>Ooooo. 674 is probably pushing it. I just put a 500ish word essay next to one that was about 600, and there is a distinguished difference between the two. Add another 74 words in there, and yeah…</p>
<p>If it’s captivating enough, you might be able to get away with 600, but the goal is to shrink it down as much as possible.</p>
<p>I put a 404-word essay next to this one and it didn’t really seem like there was much of a difference. :/</p>
<p>OK, I’m going to try and squish.</p>
<p>I shall call him Squishy and he shall be my friend.</p>
<p>Why am I in such a weird mood today? Hmmm…maybe creative juices are starting to flow?</p>
<p>I’m making my Amherst essay 670ish words. And then I’ll cut, of course. But 670 is my cap…just so that I feel included.</p>
<p>Awww fiddlesticks…I did write “That.”</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>But back on the essays: I cannot shrink it. I tried, it’s impossible.</p>
