@layla2016 That Catholic school life! Getting caught with a phone = ISS
woahhhh, that’s intense! I would have those every day if not for my laid back public school lol @schroscat do many other people from your school apply to ivies?
@layla2016 Nope! I’m the weird outcast who foams at the mouth at the sight of Ivies. We have a few applicants here and there, but not many students have the diversity factor in my school.
@schroscat haha, I can relate! I know of one girl in my school who applied to all 8 (20 in all…can’t imagine the essays!), a friend of mine applied to HYP, and like you said, a few here and there applied to some. I applied to all but Cornell and Columbia. 16 in all because I am very indecisive!
@layla2016 I’m on the same boat as you! I applied to 16 schools as well, 6 of them being Ivies. I know of two other Harvard applicants, one other Princeton applicant, and a few Cornell applicants. Otherwise, nada. As one of the only Muslims in the school, the “whiteness” seriously convinced me that I had to go to a diverse university…haha.
Same. I applied to all the ivies and 19 other schools. All with fee waivers
So many essays!! I only applied to 17 total and I was dead from the essays haha @harvard2020babe
Princeton’s essay topics were mildly obnoxious.
@mjstewart1224 My essay was titled “Bushy Eyebrows”
Thank goodness all the essay writing is over…for now, at least.
I know
Already been accepted to 7 of them so far. Applications were hard stuff to finish 
@harvard2020babe Congrats! I can completely relate… But the waiting is also quite stressful. I often wake up in the middle of night due to nightmares of college. One time I had this dream that I was rejected to all schools, but for some strange reason, accepted to Columbia…
I didn’t even apply to Columbia. 
@harvard2020babe you applied to TWENTY-SEVEN schools? Is that a record? I’m pretty sure there is a limit to how many you can apply through the commonapp!
Yeah I applied to 20 on the common app and the rest on separate applications. No, I’m pretty sure the most I’ve ever heard of is someone applying to 34 schools in my school a couple of years ago.
Been lurking for a while. Getting nervous for March 31st. Really loved Brown and Providence when I visited. I literally have a stack of merit scholarship offers from every school I applied to sitting on my desk but still keeping a glimmer of hope for Brown. It’s the one school I want to be at. Guess I am a glutton for self torture… At least I’m not alone!
@schroscat - I see you on all the same threads as me haha. I am also Muslim and need a diverse school.
I applied to all 8 ivies, MIT, Stanford, Duke, and 4 others. My entire school applies to lots of ivies so we’ll see. Heard back from Columbia, MIT, and Cornell. 
I seriously stalk all these threads.
@Anonymoose3 I applied to HYP, Brown, Columbia, and Cornell. I haven’t heard back from anyone. For my financial situation, it’s either the Ivies/JHU/Tufts, or staying home. Whadda life.
Regardless, good for you! I applaud you on your achievements!
Thanks, @schroscat. You seem very nice from what I’ve seen of you - I wish you the best!
@Anonymoose3 Thanks! I’m too strange 97.8% of the time, but I’ll do. I’m just hoping for one waitlist come 16 days. My only hope.
