sigh just sitting here watching tv when i should be studying for tests and writing more essays… i have nothing left y’all T_T
@tjgirl123 hahaha I applied to Pitt as my safety and I literally copied my first and last paragraphs of Penn essay and changed Penn to Pitt
I need a safety school. If anybody knows of any strong safetys for a neuroscience/bio major who wants to go to med school in the future please let me know:)
gwu and case western are great safeties for gpa 3.7 and up
I just thought of the perfect analogy. Figure skating is JUST LIKE college admissions.
Oh my god, someone yell at me to do my homework or something productive.
@Makooks Pitt is really nice as a safety in my opinion if you want to go to med school. It’s really easy to get in for someone with your stats (though I don’t know what they are but they’re probably really good) and I have to admit their science program&med school are great. I applied just so I can have a sense of security.
@emilyskates hey let’s go do something productive. I NEED to study for the SAT you NEED to do your homework
I agree with @tjgirl123. Your essays are probably much better than you think they are. I am also interested in seeing what everyone wrote about, but I won’t give any feedback both good or bad (unless you would like me to), so ya know, hit me up if I can read yours.
@Makooks My safety school is just the state school of my home state. It’ll be really cheap; I’m almost guaranteed to get in; and if you get your medical degree at a state school vs Penn, you’re still going to be called Dr., soooo.
I need to do something productive too haha. Like my 6 unfinished essays that need to be finished by the first.
Don’t you guys have to sleep too? It’s past midnight 
@SylvRsr I’m now writing an essay about my skating college admissions analogy for fun. I actually have problems. Okay. If you go study for the SAT, I will go do my homework. Deal?
@VaishS Honestly what is sleep anymore
@VaishS Sleep is for the weak. says the girl who literally slept for 27 hours one weekend
But I actually think best late at night; it’s when the words flow out of me instead of crawling out like zombies or something.
@emilyskates Sorry just saw this but DEAL!
One last post and I’m gone. I usually sleep for less than 4 hours on school nights but I do things like sleeping 18 hours on weekends. I’m weird I know. Btw I usually only sleep for 4 hours before SATs APs and SAT IIs because I believe if I went to bed before 12 I will be over-rested and will do poorly
@SylvRsr I took out my math textbook. Making good progress here.
School nights are a joke. I’m lucky if I get 6 hours on a school night.
@emilyskates Yayy good job!! Hahahaha I might consider turning my wifi off just so I can focus
This is problematic but I’m falling in love with this ED community already. It would be so cool if we can someday have coffee together at Penn. And it’s sad to think about the possibility that I will never be able to do that
@SylvRsr Aww, stop, no! That is so cute. Like we all arrive a day before move-in and meet up and reminisce about these days in this thread. Okay, yeah, now I have to get into Penn because I have to meet y’all.
This thread rocks
