<p>A few answers that they told me in an email:</p>
<p>If your transcript/rec is late, its no big deal as long as you send it this week (i know many of you will be relieved)</p>
<p>Also to answer griffon, they place very little importance in the transcript as they didn’t even care that i had to send a transcript that didn’t include junior year or any AP classes and had a lower rank. They said it wouldn’t make a difference. I think its more about verifying what kind of school you attend and that you aren’t an absolutely terrible lazy student or anything. </p>
<p>Hopefully this alleviated some of your fears!</p>
<p>OMG THANK GOODNESS.
i’m so freaked out!
I didn’t know I was applying until a week and a half/two weeks ago, and this past week has been midterms!
you cannot understand how hard it is to write 5 essays while attempting to study for AP Economics, AP Physics, Precalc, French Honors, AND AP Statistics, which happens to be tomorrow! =(
This has been the worst week ever, which sucks because any other time I would’ve had fun writing these essays, but everytime I go to work on them, someone calls me up and asks me a question about the exam I have the next day and I realize I know nothing and have to go study. And I still don’t think I did well on anything!
!@#$ BAD WEEK.
so yeah, i’m not done. and my stats exam is going to be insanely difficult. and I’m screwed.</p>
<p>I came up with some really good ideas for my essay topics. Unfortunately I have like, three half finished essays that need to be fully developed by tomorrow. It’s a shame because I really like the topics but I don’t feel that I’m doing them justice. I’m looking forward to the challenge of completing these essays as best as I can and the relief of submitting my application!</p>
<p>Thought I’d update everyone:
Half of an essay left. YES. For some reason I’m in a really good mood. And on a side note, thanks again illuminar, I ended up running with the idea you gave me. It is exactly what I was looking for.</p>
<p>I finally finished my critical analysis. I’ve lost so much sleep over that. I’m much more of a history student than an English student as I’ve learned, and although I could grasp the themes, effectively communicating them is quite harrrdd. After EXTENSIVE editing and revisions and expansions, I’m finally satisfied.</p>
<p>Just revising one last essay and then I’m going to submit :D</p>
<p>haha, yeah, same. I think just to be on the safe side, i will not share my essays until the 25th deadline is clearly over … but i’d love to exchange essays after that! PM me, anyone. haha.
I mean, anybody who has the stamina to churn out five-ish essays amidst all the madness has mad writing skills. and ah, that leads to me thinking about the self-selecting effect… haha</p>
<p>Absolutely positively not. This is going to be in the back of my mind for the next two months… and then…
a. rejection - worst day of my life… all that work virtually in vain
b. notification of interview - more waiting</p>
<p>Hey…promised myself I wouldn’t make an account until after I was done applying so I wouldn’t get discouraged by everybody’s general academic intensity, but now i’m de-lurking (haha).</p>
<p>Just wanted to say good luck to the online applicants! I had a really hard time with the entire thing, so I hope it’s less time consuming and flows more easily for you guys. TASP sounds amazing, and I really hope you all get in!! Less than 24 hours left until everybody’s apps are in…at least it’s over soon, right?</p>
<p>God, yeah, these next two months until I get rejected will be awful. TASP pretty much sounds like heaven. Literally, heaven. I have to wait two months just to find out that I don’t get to go to heaven, hoping all the time that maybe, just maybe I’ll get in.</p>
and ah, that leads to me thinking about the self-selecting effect… haha</p>
