<p>well, it could be that even if they don’t know you, they truly want to see you succeed OR they want to see you fall flat on your face.</p>
<p>but yes, I have to admit, it’s very uncomfortable.</p>
<p>stupak, everyone in the korean community knows where I applied because apparently, they talk about it when they have gatherings. and I’m not even korean!</p>
<p>Stupak I’d like to thank you for backing me up on the ivy league stereotypes forum without actually bumping the stupid thing yet again… so thank you. That thread is so pretentious!!! Somebody should move it to the college cafe instead of letting it besmirch the yale board!</p>
<p>anyone else finding that the closer we get to dec 15, the harder it is to get work done? i find myself procrastinating constantly, and settling for much lower quality of work than i would normally settle for. i think it’s senioritis kicking in early, maybe in anticipation of next friday.</p>
<p>Ok, I know this is not anything to do with Yale at all, but for other colleges…</p>
<p>Duke’s supplement is due “by the 10th of December” for interview eligibility. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that does mean I can send it tomorrow, yes? My friend is convinced it’s otherwise.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you should be able to do it up till 11:59 pm on December 10th, if you couldn’t submit it on December 10th then it would say due “by the 9th of December”</p>
<p>wow that’s pretty early for an app- don’t they still have like 4 months of time left?</p>
<p>It’s not exactly due, but they say it’s due by the 10th to guarantee an alumni interview.</p>
<p>sep092- On the contrary, I’m working furiously on my other applications for some reason so as not to jynx myself into a yale rejection or something, also cause I don’t want to be in a bad mental place while I try to apply to other schools! But yeah, I stopped listening in class like early last week cause I just can’t concentrate anymore!</p>
<p>Saying “Yale, EA” works in my school. Saying “Yale, EA.” <em>puzzled expression from other party</em> “Early Action,” scares the other party. They usually thereby generalize me as a pretencious overacheiver. Which I guess I am on certain days.</p>
<p>I don’t mind telling most people in my school about what schools I am applying to, but frankly there will be no end to the agony if certain kids get in to Ivies and I do not. </p>
<p>Frankly this is horrible right now, because final week for certain classes got pushed up for both my college class and my high school classes, apparently, I have a midterm on the earliest midterm date possible, decision day. I really do hope my professor will grant me permission to take the midterm on later date because I will not be able to take the midterm, and do well. </p>
<p>I’m working on my applications as well, since one of them is due on decision day, and the others are due January 1st, and honestly I want to have a chill winter vacation because I have a lot of family coming over.</p>
<p>Darn you Stanford and your 12/15 app!!!</p>
<p>
Yea, Stanford’s a *****.</p>
<p>I haven’t turned in my Duke supplement yet, but I got an interview offer about 2 weeks ago. Perhaps it’s because I live 20 minutes from Duke.</p>
<p>Lol, I’m doing Stanford’s now too… why is it due so early?! and why all the extra essays?</p>
<p>I actually really love the Stanford app… it’s annoying that its due early, but I guess they want to be able to take some apps along with them on vacation or something? I don’t even know. Regardless, I feel like the Stanford application really lets me express my personality.</p>
<p>juniorinhs, you answered your own question. Their application is really long (all those essays) so they need more time to read them.
Also, if they have it due on Dec. 15, then people admitted early will have to submit anyway–that way Stanford gets more application$</p>
<p>recently i’ve become afflicted with terrible senioritis and all my college apps are basically in shambles. I had every intention of turning in the duke app by their early deadline, but I didn’t. lol. I’ve applied to five schools so far: Yale, UMaryland, Fordham, Williams, and WashU. Those were all the ones that I either needed to turn in early or had ridiculously easy common app supplements (fordham, williams, and washu don’t require an essay!!). </p>
<p>now comes the actual work- figuring out a different way to answer “Why do you want to go to college x” questions than, “I don’t. i want to go to yale.” lol.</p>
<p>I think I’ve got the syndrom for senioritis too: I’ve got a big physics/chemistry test on thursday and I didn’t spend a single minute studying for it during the whole weekeind. I HATE physics and chemistry but it’s never affected me that way before! + I’ve still got some applications to work on. I guess that means I’m not going to sleep much this week… I just hope I’ll be able to focus…</p>
<p>God no, not Stanford. I can’t do the west cost. Well I could, but it would be a crazy culture shock for me. I’m working on CUNY Honors. (Basically a must for any competitive NYC Public School student, a good pseudo-safety that has a great program.) Then there’s Vassar and Barnard. Barnard is almost tight. Thank you effing Junior year teacher who didn’t give me back any of my papers. And I aparently don’t write well according to the beast, the class is co-taught by a professor who liked my paper, and probably would have gave me an A, had I proofread it. Except there are dumb grammatical errors that I don’t want to send to Vassar. So I need to kick ass on this paper that I need to start on, so it’s Vassar material.</p>
<p>vegangirl, I hate those questions with a passion. As a matter a fact I did other supplements over the ones with earlier deadlines because I loathe the “why do you <3 our institution of higher education?” I feel at times that I’m ********ting out of my ass. When the end all is, well, you look good on paper, I like your environment, and I know people who go there. Now goodbye. That’s true for about half of the schools I’m applying to, not places I would die to go to, but places that would make me happy.</p>
<p>I revisted my personal statement. I really like it. Although there is this one portion where I feel as if I need a transition, but have taken an artistic choice not to put one it, because it adds to the tone of the scene. I hope that the admissions officers at each institution that read my essay realize this.</p>
<p>I’ve had senioritis since August. I did my summerwork a couple weeks into the school year, when I knew it was going to be checked. I’ve always been an excessive procrastinator, though, and I’ve learned to adjust my ways accordingly.</p>
