<p>“Get straight A’s, do well on the PSAT (which obviously doesn’t count for NM this time around, but I figure practice can’t hurt), and beast in Extemp/LD and Quiz Bowl.”</p>
<p>“I do enjoy high school. In fact, I’m looking forward to school starting again. But that may be because I’m suffering from FWS (Forensics Withdrawl Syndrome)…”</p>

<p>i’m thinking about taking spanish as well…not sure yet</p>
<p>trololol really? thinking about colleges /already/?</p>
<p>though i do too, i really don’t know what college i’d ever want to go to. mit is just my dream school (literally. i had a dream i went there once), cause all smart people i know go there (visiting there in a week for a camp [NOT a college visiting camp btw] so ill see how it is). but yeah idk.</p>
<p>I spent a lot of time on the prep school admissions forum, first posting as an applicant, then giving advice to applicants once I was at a school.</p>
<p>As a senior (and that feels weird to say), I advise all of you guys to stop worrying about colleges until spring of your junior year. I thought about where I’d like to go to college all through high school and I really regret it. It just caused lots of stress and now that I actually have to do tours and research I’m so burned out and don’t really care where I go to college anymore. So don’t be me.</p>
Oh, and if it’s not “advanced” (aka “honors”) then they don’t offer an advanced course version, which I can’t say bothers me too much lol.</p>
