<p>That's exactly the response I give my friends, heh. They don't like that :P</p>
<p>Anyways, yea I'm from Florida, Port St. Lucie to be exact!</p>
<p>Lol ya same here. Oh thats cool, I live in Tampa so thats not that far. If we both get in we should hang out sometime. Do you go to an IB school.</p>
<p>Yeah, I do go to an IB school (what fun it is, <em>cough</em>). We finished our Extended Essays like two weeks ago and that was such a relief. Working on Historical Investigations and TOK Papers now. This was probably the first weekend in a long time where I didn't have a ton of stuff due on Monday. The workload is finally calming down after 1 1/2 years of hell, hehe. I agree, it'd be cool to hang out if we both get in (I sure hope so!). Good luck to us Floridians, heh.</p>
<p>Oh and just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Stanford figured out that we beat them and they're not going down without a fight (at least according to their thread). There's still a few hundred posts back, but just something to watch out for! Hehe :)</p>
<p>i got into my safety school already- Rutgers RAH RAH. we dont have UNJ but it is the equivalent. it is kind of nice to know i have somewhere to go but it wasnt as reassuring as i hoped it would be.</p>
<p>What scares me is I applied to 5 ivy caliber, and then UF, not really a middle ground school. The only school for me middle ground would be Cornell, but thats an ivy so not really middle.</p>
<p>Yeah I think I'm doing 4 Ivies, UF, University of Chicago, and MIT. However, University of Chicago and MIT are still iffy for me -- I'm not so sure I want a school that has such a deficit in their social scene.</p>
<p>Ya, but actually MIT seems pretty cool. Im doing Princeton, Cornell, Penn, MIT, Duke, UF</p>
<p>Yeah if it comes down to it, I'm definitely gonna take another trip up there to get a better impression (MIT's tour guide did not really sell me on it).</p>
<p>The 4 Ivies are Princeton (duh), Columbia (I loved the campus), Harvard and Yale (both really good all around).</p>
<p>Ya. When I was there my tour guide was really cool. Also, the people I know and the things ive read about admissions at MIT show that the school is fairly fun and social. Maybe nerdy social, but still cool.</p>
<p>wow, have you guys already done those other apps?
does MIT take the common app?</p>
<p>MIT prides itself on not taking the commonapp.</p>
<p>No, but MIT has a very user friendly application, I really liked it. I have only completely finished and sent cornell. Although, MIT and Duke are almost done.</p>
<p>I haven't done any other apps, but my essay is very malleable and I can send it to most colleges. I just have to write the Why ____? essays now.</p>
<p>haha same here BD89!</p>
<p>but it's hard to write the Why ___ essays for the schools that isn't my ED school.... =/</p>
<p>Ya its like. I want to go to your school because...wait I dont want to go to your school I WANT PRINCETON!</p>
<p>Yeah. Most essays are pretty convertible, except Stanford. Which also has a 12/15 deadline. -_-</p>
<p>I'm surprised that the other schools/Ivies that most of you guys are applying to are so dis-similar from Princeton. MIT, Yale, Columbia and even University of Chicago are so urban. One of Princeton's main selling points for me was the sub-urban location. But then again, I really do equate the "perfect college campus" with a Liberal Arts college's environment.</p>
<p>I like Princeton's location.
Suburban.
But not rural-esque.
Unlike Dartmouth.
=P</p>
<p>I like Dartmouth!</p>
<p>huh? waat? Dartmouth's an ivy? wat tha? never even heard of it:)</p>
