I really want to go to bs, but there is incredible private and public schools in my area, so I’d be fine. I live in one of the best school areas in the country, so I wont be super- disadvantaged if I don’t go, i just REALLY want to.</p>

<p>For those of you applying to only one school read catalyst by laurie halse anderson</p>
<p>I have read that book 2 times and would like to say that it is a work of Fiction.
It is very sad though, well when her brother dies.</p>
<p>Well no duh its fiction, but just sayin’ to add on to toombs61’s random postings here and there- don’t put all your eggs in 1 basket. </p>
<p>But on another note: It is a very good book and you should all read it anyway :)</p>
<p>I have to admit though, I thought it was going to be a bit more teeny-bopper-ish and I was pleasantly surprised. It was well written though I feel MIT was more of a subplot than the main focus- but then again it was a good plot device…</p>
<p>On the subject of books, today as I do on many Saturdays I walked to Barnes & Nobles and sat there for much of the day and read. One of the books I read that had a great impact on me was ‘Chosen One’ about a young girl trying to escape in a polygamist community. Sorry for rec’ing it on this thread but it really made me think about true bravery. [Amazon.com:</a> The Chosen One (9780312555115): Carol Lynch Williams: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Chosen-One-Carol-Lynch-Williams/dp/0312555113]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Chosen-One-Carol-Lynch-Williams/dp/0312555113)</p>
<p>Seems like a really good book. I would want to read it.</p>
