What's plaguing you about college admissions?

Applying to College

<p>As EA deadlines loom ever closer in our future with regular deadlines barely two months away, what is plaguing you and impeding your pending acceptance from the college of your dreams?</p>

<p>Let’s see, my three EA apps are due in a week and I still have no main personal statement whatsoever. haha i’m trying to get down to it this weekend and write one, but everything i write seems so stupid…</p>

<p>plus I still haven’t reformatted my resume into something acceptable enough to send to colleges.</p>

<p>oh yeah and i still haven’t sent my Oct SAT scores to UChicago…if I do that this weekend (just regular reporting, not rush), do you think it will be okay?</p>

2

<p>my scores are so low that i keep on planning to take them until i literally get in
like my mom booked a testing date for november, december, january already</p>

3

<p>To send a r</p>

5

<p>The wait is plaguing me. I can’t take it. 51 days ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.</p>

6

<p>where i want to go. full price or full ride</p>

7

<p>"To send a r</p>

8

<p>I didn’t expect the SAT scores that I got and now I’m applying ED to Columbia, but the application is unavailable at the moment…</p>

<p>-My back hurts from sitting in this chair -_-
-I have no leadership roles.
-I want my recs online, but my teachers are doing it on paper
-I’m running out of time
-I want to hide my May SAT scores, but obviously can’t
-I’m really craving pizza…</p>

<p>Thanks for making me laugh when I’m really stressed out.</p>

10

<p>I need to take 2 subject tests</p>

<p>I need to write a few supplements for various colleges I’m applying to</p>

11

<p>I am scared that my applications will not really reflect me.</p>

12

<p>nothing really. I’m done. All I have to do is sit back and wait…</p>

<p>then deciding where to go shall plague me. hopefully I get into my first choice so it won’t be so hard.</p>

13

<p>agreed with thisguyiscool.</p>

<p>also don’t really know how much to say/what to talk about in the “why X college?” essays.</p>

14

<p>The doors for the ACT test being closed as soon as I got there :(. To make matters worse ive been studying for it for like 2 months and my early action deadline is in 2 weeks!</p>

15

<p>ouch polihist. didn’t you bang on the doors? I would have demanded to be let in.</p>

16

<p>Recommendations and essays!</p>

17

<p>I did and noone came. I even walked around the testing site to see if any doors were open. Is there anything I can do about this?</p>

18

<p>I sent in two apps, then realized I checked off the wrong prompt. I sent them an email and I’m sure the adcoms will figure it out anyways, but it still makes me feel incredibly stupid and I hope they don’t think I’m stupid too.</p>

<p>But mostly: my scores. I mean my grades are pretty good (top 10 of my school) but I still have a lot of B’s, and my scores only meet the lower end of the 50%. I was going to retake but I just thought that if a school based so much on scores then it’s not meant for me.</p>

19

<p>I’m a lazy idiot who ended up with a GPA of 3.03 and a class rank of 79/184. I’m never going to forgive myself for how lazy I was (considering that I realized this in the last quarter of last year and have had straight A’s since).</p>

<p>I don’t care how much ass my essay kicks, or how good my SAT score is (2030. Not too shabby.), I’ll never get past my weak GPA.</p>

<p>That and this $#*^ing Emerson College supplemental statement about the title of my life’s story.</p>

20

<p>I need to edit personal essay and finish the supplement. Can’t get a good topic to write about. The writing part is easy, finding a good topic is not…</p>
