<p>haha i started playing temple run during essay writing period in december haha! my high score is 980000+ no idea.</p>
<p>My high score is 6 million(:
My friends all beat me though ):</p>
<p>Which character do you guys have? I have the Asian girl and the football player, but their both like the same.</p>
<p>Yeah do the characters make a difference or are their attributes purely aesthetic?</p>
<p>PreppieEffy- I wasn’t even aware that there were multiple characters…</p>
<p>Haha @98beebee I’m gonna pm you :)</p>
<p>@starkali I know, me too! It’s like hidden in the store… </p>
<p>My high score is only 300,000 or something. Failll. ;)</p>
<p>I bought the asian lady character 
temple run gives me self-induced seizures when the game gets really fast LOL.</p>
<p>Honestly, Temple Run frustrates me even more than boarding school applications haha. I get like abnormally upset when I finally reach my high score, and then forget to jump and ultimately loose haha.</p>
<p>On another note, I heard that some schools may be changing their way of notifying people of their decisions. Someone told me that because March 10th falls on a Saturday, some schools may email their decisions this year, rather than send them via snail mail. Has anyone else heard this? </p>
<p>Also, ONLY 45 MORE DAYS UNTIL DECISION DAY! :D</p>
<p>@starkali I have heard a little about that. Plus, there’s an old thread that specifies how each school informs the applicants and plenty already informed by email or their login website-thingie (GoChoate for example.) If all schools did that I’d be soo relived as I don’t live in New England so mail might not arrive on time plus e-mail/online is quick and easy and a lot less nerve-racking. (I can already imagine myself freaking out over small envelopes haha.) Ahh 45 days only? Gahh</p>
<p>I hate it when I get the speed boosts, and the avatar goes wayyy too fast and I get all anxious. But I love the invisible power-up because I just sit there, watch it, and do nothing. Also, those demon monkeys are really creepy! :)</p>
<p>45 days until a very life-changing decision. Oh yeah, nbd. Haha :P</p>
<p>@starkali HAHA I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. i always play on the bus ride home from school, and everytime i swipe in the wrong direction and fall off the edge, i’ll make this stifled half-scream and people will judge me. :(</p>
<p>@aubreygal LOL i have a friend who screams and screams about how much it freaks her out when the speed boosts comes on haha</p>
<p>YAYYYY!!! Email? That’s gonna be so much faster than mail/FedEx. But it’s more impersonal. Whatevs… :D</p>
<p>CherryRose: It is a little impersonal, but regardless, the sooner we know of their decision, the better! </p>
<p>Blehjoints: I know how you feel haha. Sometimes I’ll be in my room playing TR, and all of a sudden I’ll start screeching. Then everyone will run upstairs to see what’s wrong haha. </p>
<p>Aubreygal: Haha, what grade are you applying for? Also which schools?</p>
<p>A little food for thought:</p>
<p>Some of you feel that it’s boarding school or nothing (I felt that way at the end of 8th grade and now I’m currently in 9th). I would suggest you get that notion out of your head because your experiences you will have will be only as great as you make them :)</p>
<p>I’ve come to realization that yeah, it would be great to go to a elite boarding school, but I know that the school I’m at now is perfectly fine and that I need to make the best of it. I joined drama, something I would have never done before, auditioned for a few plays, and ended up scoring the lead role in one of them. After I saw my name on that paper, I knew that no matter where I am, I have the ability to do great things.</p>
<p>Stepping away from the seriousness, TR is my little addiction 
I get so excited when I see the coin magnet haha.</p>
<p>What schools are you applying to??</p>
<p>Emma Willard, Peddie, NMH, Concord, Westminster, Dana Hall, Mercersburg, Lawrenceville, and a local private school.</p>
<p>Woah nice, Milton Andover exeter</p>
<p>What intrigued you about Milton? I haven’t researched the school very much, but at first glance (looking at the website), it looks like a fantastic school. It also seems very diverse. </p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, (this may come off as a slightly provocative) how many of you are minorities? Being a minority (Black), ethnic diversity (as well as socioeconomic diversity) is extremely important to me, when it comes to searching for a boarding school. I’m interested to know how important ethnic diversity is to some of non-minority applicants.</p>
<p>@starkali I’m in a minority too! I’m multiracial (Jamaican and Caucasian) so I have to go to a school with a high ethnic diversity. Socioeconomic diversity is equally important to me as I’m definitely considered lower-class money-wise which puts me in another minority in the boarding school world. I’d love to know how non-minorities view ethnic diversity as well so if you’re not in a minority post away!</p>
