Thanks, ecnerwalc. Now I’ve got another question that’s semi-related…

Just to calm my fears, I’m going to email the admissions counselor at my first choice school, because it was the only school for which I was planning on not using the Common App. To explain why I’m even emailing him about this, I feel like I should mention that the school is my first choice, because it’s a big reason why I’m even so concerned about it in the first place. Does that seem like brown-nosing, though? I mean, it’s the truth, but I don’t want to come off as too eager to please, like I’m throwing myself at his feet screaming, “Pick me, pick me!” This is my first email to the admissions counselor, and I don’t want to seem, well, like an admissions slut, y’know? :P
