<p>Are you nervous/anxious about senior year and applying to colleges?</p>
<p>If so, how are you dealing with it?</p>
<p>I’m extremely nervous. Even though I think I know where I’m going, I’m trying my hardest to see if I can get into my reach schools (nearly all of them but 1 lol). Chemistry SAT 2 I need help with… lol. IB Chem didn’t teach us anything for this test!!! :(</p>
<p>Last year, I dealt with it by playing Runescape (but let’s not start that conversation again). I’m not even kidding, it was really sad! Finished all my college apps during Christmas break. It was definetly not a merry Christmas.</p>
<p>^Ya IB blows</p>
<p>Ha, I’m already feeling the stress. I’ve already written my essay (I think) and it’s 950 words so I’m freaking out that it’s too long and that’ll look really bad and I’m worried that it may be cliche so I’m deciding between it and another essay topic which I think might be cliche too. Everything I think of/other people suggest I can find a way to make cliche! Grrr! Not to mention worrying about rejections and retaking the ACT to get an even better score in the fall and volunteering and worrying if my resume is good enough since the Ivies are completely unpredictable when choosing kids and I just read a chance thread where a kid with a 35 ACT and great ECs got rejected from my dream school and it just goes on and on and on! Can’t you just feel the stress? lol</p>
<p>^I had two essays almost 1000 words in length (1 for common app and 1 for supplement). Still, try to shrink ur essay.</p>
<p>I already have! lol. Did you leave them as is?</p>
<p>Ya, but now that I look back at my essays, I realize I definetly could’ve shortened them.</p>
<p>Senior year?
No.</p>
<p>College Admissions?
Yes. o.o
- How am I dealing with it?
I know I’ll end up somewhere.</p>
<p>Going to college means nothing to me. I could care less. I’ll go to wherever my future takes me.</p>
<p>Only wrote 2 essays, though I made changes to them. One of them was close to 800 words when I submitted it to Caltech but less than 400 when I submitted it to the UC’s.</p>
<p>
exactly.</p>
<p>nope, not nervous.</p>
<p>Hm, I need to get started on those essays. I’m dealing with the stress by putting everything off until school starts.</p>
<p>I’m not too nervous now, but I know I’ll be very nervous. Right now I’m stressing about my senior year schedule because there are issues with it and I’m over-organizing so I don’t have to deal with college stress. I can’t wait until my niece gets here and distracts me with a 7-year-old’s ideas of fun.</p>
<p>Very nervous. I’m having mixed comments here. I’ve had some people say I’m a shoo-in for W&M, and others who just say “you have a decent shot, maybe.” Bah! I hate mixed answers.</p>
<p>I need to write my common app essay, and I really can’t wait until the W&M supplement comes out so I can get started. Then I need to get my teacher’s and GC’s email so I can get them to do recs. </p>
<p>And then I have a bunch of crap going on senior year. -sigh- So busy.</p>
<p>im anxious alrite. im even worried that i might even get accepted to uc merced. :(</p>
