So sad. This thread just makes me want to cry. I hope, OP, that you are not applying to any LACs and are pre-professional.

This is the difference between kids who get into competitive schools and do well and kids who are really better off at state flagships. Students at my high school have to write a thesis - most are 75+ pages; many are published. This is IN ADDITION to a full AP load with at least one wasatch paper per class per semester. It is what you will be expected to do at any serious institution of higher learning, over and over again.
