Okay, well, I filled out all the general info on my common app today and plan to get working on the common app essays in the next few days (waiting for the supplement to open…and I need my questions answered about the art supplement)

I have chosen to apply ED, but I want to make sure I’m not fooling myself into thinking I’ve got this easily.
