<p>Obviously, I’m saying that my score isn’t considered cream of the crop when in the NJ pool. My school alone had 3 240s. </p>
<p>I’m probably only going to end up applying to 2/4 HYPS, probably Yale and Stanford, simply because NJ is such a tough applicant pool coupled with the fact that I’m an ORM.</p>
<p>I actually can not WAIT for college! And all this college talk is fueling that desire… I just wish we didn’t have to go through the whole stressful app process…</p>
<p>I agree. I’m just waiting to be done with high school at this point so I can choose my major and pursue the subjects I’m genuinely interested in, while having many more resources and freedom at my fingertips. It’s long and stressful… let’s see how I deal with it!</p>
<p>I want to do some research over the summer, get a job, and also relax. I think I did a little too much of the last one (as in I did absolutely nothing last summer, haha)</p>
<p>Good luck w/ SSP! I heard it’s pretty hard to get into…
I think it’d be cool to get an internship; I just don’t know how I would go about getting one :(</p>
<p>^ Yeah, me too! I think it’s harder to get a job/ internship in Asia if you don’t have connections. It seems like people in the US have it a lot easier.</p>
<p>I’m of two minds about this… I would love to go to HYPS/AWS/those schools. but I’m also very tempted to just take my likely full ride to rutgers to save money for med school.</p>
<p>I know what you mean. Sometimes I wonder what I would/will do if I get a great offer from a “non-dream” school. I think in many cases I’d be tempted to give up my reaches for an affordable alternate choice, which I guess is a good thing.</p>
