<p>awww man… i feel bad for some of you guys… :(… i wish i could help people like pseudovirus and limitedvocab… dont worry yall will do FINE!!!.. pseudo, if u want some advice on gettin involved, u gotta experience lots of embarassment to get out of social anxiety… try to be open with everyone, dont be afraid to talk to people and always raise ur opinion in stuff… it helps if ur a big talker in class, that way people get to know u… its easy for me to say, cuz im involved in a lot, but it takes practice bro, just get into weird situations and learn from them (lmao dont ask, ive been in situations even God would ask," How the ***** did he get into that???")</p>
<p>@Ambitiousteen: LOL, I’m a senior and I’m heading to college this fall. By some weird stroke of luck, I just recently got into my first choice, a reach for me I should say, and I’m still trying to decide if I should withdraw my spot in another college (more of a match but still a very selective school nonetheless). If fin aid goes well I’m attending my first choice YAY.</p>
<p>NVM THEN, dude CONGRATS!!! WOOT WOOT!!.. now i may help pseudo LOL</p>
<p>Ecs for me</p>
<p>ECs
SATs
GPA
Recs</p>
<p>EVERYTHING seriously!!!</p>
<p>Now, that’s the CC mentality!</p>
<p>GPA mostly</p>
<p>i’m really scared of writing the essays =x i hate writing and i feel like they could make or break my application. i know that i’ll never be happy with them ]:</p>
<p>^^^ To Darnfancylettuce, I hated writing the essays too! LOL, I probably edited mine like 30 times and my essay readers were really ****ed off cuz I kept asking them to read it over and over even though I only made one small little change. Anyway, I was reluctant to write a whole new essay on a whole new topic, so I thought oh what the heck, stop stressing out and send the darn thing!</p>
<p>The thing is… one of my “activities” is creative writing. That’s why I’m so afraid of writing mine. I don’t want to have built up my writing skills and then suck on the essay. I know I have the potential to write a great one, but if I don’t perfect an essay on an appropriate topic by the time it’s due, I’m basically screwed.</p>
<p>Standardized Testing Scores.</p>
<p>I wish I would’ve prepared myself more diligently instead of cramming all the time.</p>
<p>DEFINITLEY gpa.</p>
<p>Recs… =[</p>
<p>GPA and ECs</p>
<p>ECs…</p>
<p>Then again, there’s the probability in a “lack of momentum” in the essay writing (even if you have a nice/good idea in your head), and that will suck.</p>
<p>I hereby change my answer to awards and essays. Awards because I have nothing special (only book awards, nmsf, ap awards) and essays because I’m really scared.</p>
<p>ECs. And awards. At this point, at least.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars.</p>
<p>Oh right, awards. Forgot about that…</p>
<p>Final answer? ECs and awards.</p>
<p>ECs and awards by far. I do stuff I love but I don’t have any crazy commitments and only have one leadership position.</p>
