I’m taking the SAT again next Saturday for RD because I bombed the October one. Can someone yell at me to get off this thread and study?!
@TheWaffleMan149 Well, I probably won’t take the exam for that reason. They give no credit for it in college, and therefore I see no reason to take it in high school and waste $100. In fact, I think out 4 AP classes I’m taking this year, I think I’ll just do the AP Spanish exam because I won’t get credit for Euro or AB Calc.
Would it even matter if I skipped out on AP exams in the fall. Say, Euro and Comparative Government?
@SylvRsr GO STUDY!!!The effort and time will be worth it in the end. But don’t stress yourself out. Breaks are healthy:)
On the subject of apparel I have a Penn tshirt (that still fits me from like 2011 when I first visited campus) and I’ve decided I will not physically touch it until Dec 11 and then depending, I will either put it on or cut it up and burn the shredded remains 
And extinguish the flames with my tears
@Makooks Haha thanks for the motivation!!
At least you guys don’t have to deal with seeing Penn everywhere you go I live only 15 minutes away from campus. If Penn rejects me, I’ll have to deal with seeing the campus, not to mention traveling on Wharton street everyday.
I’m curious: who here on CC is from Boston/the surrounding suburbs?
I don’t understand people not even touching their Penn stuff. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going to wear my Penn stuff up until Dec 11th and then if I don’t get in thennn I will never look at it or wear it ever again.
ugh my other essays are so trashy i’ve lost all my creative ability after my upenn essay T_T or maybe i’m just in denial that i will go somewhere other than penn… sigh
Same I’ve put little effort and heart into my other essays just because I have little motivation left because I put everything into Penn
@Makooks Yees, same with the Penn apparel. I have a Penn shirt hanging on my bed, so when I go to sleep, it’s kind of watching over me. Okay, wow, that sounds so much more strange typed out than I anticipated, but whatever.
Y’all, I was seriously contemplating not even doing my apps that are due Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 because if I want to get into Penn, I have to believe I’ll get into Penn, so applying for other schools as backup would just be disrespecting my faith in myself. Obviously, I decided against this, but everything I’m writing now does feel like trash. It mainly comes down to not being as passionate for other schools, so writing about why I want to go there doesn’t feel as hardcore as it did for Penn.
Anyone else incredibly nervous about not being good enough?
Oh 100% I don’t feel good enough. I literally feel like I have no shot against some of these incredibly talented and accomplished applicants but I’m doing my best to stay positive:)
@lirn1130 I totally can relate to that. Even though I’m trying to focus on other essays, I just can’t bring myself to put a lot of time and passion into my other essays and apps:/
Where else are you guys applying to beside Penn?
Now I’m really worried about my Penn supp essay… I don’t think my passion for Penn really shined through at all T^T I should have started it earlier… Ughh
Same. My supplement is honestly pretty weak and generic and I wish I had spent more time on it. If only my dad hadn’t pushed me to apply to Yale EA. It took so long to convince him that Penn was where my heart was and I wanted to apply there so I didn’t get to work on my supplement until late October:/
