"All my eggs in one baskket"

<p>is it just me whose completly focused on Penn and not really paying attention to any other colleges, or is anyone else having this problem?</p>

<p>Haha same here. I can’t get the motivation to start writing other essays.</p>

<p>same. And the funny thing is, there’s really nothing to focus on right now for Penn. The closest thing relating to Penn are threads CC T_T</p>

<p>Yeah… I just assumed two of my three Penn essays (excluding Why Penn) would fit other applications. </p>

<p>Probably gonna half-ass everything until Dec 15.</p>

<p>yeah…although my essay workload for other colleges isn’t bad at all and I can probably adapt my Penn essays for many of the other prompts. Ironically, the worst app I have left (that I absolutely dread touching) is the one for UMich.</p>

<p>me too!!!
i’m not starting any apps until the 15th.
i’m so in love with penn that i just don’t want to go anywhere else…pretty much.
so many of my apps are why ____ and my why penn is so personal that i just can’t tweak it. ugh.</p>

<p>totally. I haven’t even started my other applications… they’re not really that bad though. NYU’s just really annoying, Tufts has the “WHO ARE YOU?” question that I’m dreading. </p>

<p>haha nj<em>azn</em>premed, as of two days ago I was going to apply to UMich. But then I decided that I really don’t want to do their application and I’m not even that interested, so now I’m not applying there!</p>

<p>ditto CrystalPineapple.</p>

<p>Yeah…I"m trying to fit my why penn essay and other essays I can find to other prompts… Which is why I’m putting off Pennstate schreyers because I can’t use any of my essays for its prompts. And, though I can use my why penn essay for other schools, I CAN’T use it for why (name of the other school). it’s weird</p>

<p>you’re lucky ashuri, but I’m interested in engineering and possibly business, so UMich is practically crafted for me (applying engineering with preferred admit to Ross)…</p>

<p>soysauce, i did the SAME thing!! – putting off schreyer
their essays were INSANE, and i was just like…yeah. i’ll just do them later. maybe i’ll be in penn by then…</p>

<p>Yeahhh…and the priority deadline is today lol</p>

<p>yeah…my logic was this: if i can get into schreyer, i can probably get into other really good schools. i don’t particularly like PSU because it’s like…in the middle of nowhere, and football is too dominating there. i mean, SHC is amazing, but i don’t want to buy a brand and stick myself in bumble****, PA for four years and watch football all day long and be surrounded by Republicans.</p>

<p>but what i really meant was:
i was too lazy to do the app, so i just found excuses.</p>

<p>sameeeee. I finally found an excuse, which is that I dont’ want to go to a school with too many people I know. And of course Republicans…I like diversity…but not too much from my opposite political spectrum. oh yeah, and pennstate is too much of a party school.</p>

<p>i’m finding it hard to concentrate on the calculus test tomorrow!!!
actually, better, i almost misspelled “hard” as “heard”…</p>

<p>anyway, i actually got started on the other apps…long time ago b/c then i wasn’t sure if i was doing ED to Penn or not. i’m tryin to find my way back to them now…just yesterday, i kinda fixed my NYU personal statements a little. annoying. and i also copy and pasted the cornell prompts onto Microsoft Word. and that’s about it. dartmouth has no additional essays. neither does BC. i forgot about the others.</p>

<p>a kid at my school wants to go to to PSU STRICTLY for the football scene there…eh…i would like a school w/ great spirits too…but hey, education comes first. i mean i wanna do somethin w/myself</p>

<p>omg i know! i love dartmouth (obvs. not as much as penn) and i was SO happy and relieved that my friend had to write an essay for me!
i might apply to BC too.
and i think WashU doesn’t want essays either?</p>

<p>half of my school ends up at PSU, but then again, the other half ends up at penn, so i’ll be with people i know either way. i guess i just like penn a lot better</p>

<p>hah im also dreading umich app cuz its not commonapp!</p>
