Anyone else not finished with their apps yet and can commiserate?

<p>I still have 7 essays to write! ....which is another reason I shouldn't be on CC right now.....</p>

<p>I have 6 apps to do...with about 18 essays ( a bunch of short answers, but still) left. Just the essays left really---</p>

<p>a bunch of them overlap--like the big personal statements, and whats most improtant extra curric, but still its obscene.</p>

<p>northwestern and penn app are the worst.</p>

<p>Get to it. Good luck.</p>

<p>Yeah, I still have lots of stuff to do.</p>

<p>I can see it now... the moment we get accepted all of the colleges in the US will announce a "universal college application" with only one essay and one form to fill. :)</p>

<p>i feel the SAME WAY> i put them all off til break in case i got accepted to Yale. .. and that i didnt makes it that much harder to want to do them </p>

<p>anybody eles think that cornell's short answers are the most absurd prompts of all time?</p>

<p>Haven't seen Cornell's, but UVa's suckass big time. This winter break is horrible- I hate that I still am doing college apps. :(</p>

<p><em>Throws sad confetti for pity party and passes out invites to everyone who has posted so far</em></p>

<p>Iplayoboe, my love----There were no short answers for Cornell. what are you talking about?</p>

<p>Um......NORTHWESTERN application SUCKS. Have you read the essay prompts?!?!!?! They're REDICULOUS!!!! AHHHHHHH.</p>

<p>yeah Cornell's are annoying!</p>

<p>there are two extra short answers for cornell.......</p>

<p>on the "supplimentary essays" page.
they are "essays" ... limited to 250 words each.
and they both $uc<</p>

<p>You know...common app WAS a good idea...until each college decided they needed a supplement.....</p>

<p>3 apps left. . .4 essays or so. One is due January 10th, so I can procrastinate for that one. But a few are due the 1st. . .I've gotta try and finish tonight.</p>

<p>iplayoboe- do u have to answer the 2nd short answer for Cornell......it says if u're undecided.......</p>

<p>only have 1 app completed......the 8 that are left are just waiting for their essays; which are done.......just not done done......</p>

<p>ivyboy05, you're exactly right. Why be a part of Common App in the first place if you want another essay, two more short answers, and an additional school report also?</p>

<p>Yeah, seriously, whoever invented the concept of Common App supplements should be shot.</p>

<p>beat repeatedly with a blunt object and stoned, personally, its a more communal activity to punish said suppliment creators, and i want to throw the third stone.
shooting is so... singular.</p>

<p>i agree with ivyboy... i hate the northwestern essays!!! i mean COME ON, how do they expect not to have totally cliche essay responses from those questions?? ugh, i'm mad. all i have to write now is northwestern and pomona (reinvent your high school. even worse!!) and i reeeally don't wanna.</p>

<p>hehe, here i thought i was done with apps and then i see all the financial aid apps i have to fill. can't I just send them a sticky note that says I am 17 and I have no money? but then they need to know everything about my parents...grrr</p>

<p>haha! a sticky note! what a great idea. </p>

<p>im 18, i have 147 dollars in my wallet. would you like them?
thats all i have. </p>

<p>silly parents earning money..</p>
