<p>Well I am biased… but I do love my country 
It has such a mix of everything! (including violence… not a day goes by where you get bored xP ) not quite :P</p>
<p>But I like the bit of England that I have seen… I’d love to go up into Scotland to my roots or across to Ireland though :)</p>

I applied to Carleton too. I thought we will get the decision on April 1. That makes me nervous :D</p>
<p>@sunny12</p>

<p>Good luck to you both! 
never heard of it though… gonna do a quick google out of interest :P</p>
<p>that was definitely my cringiest application… wrote about the snow for like half the application… <em>facepalm</em></p>
<p>haha! shame bro, will be fun to see what they would say about your application then (if they gave feedback) :P</p>
<p>Haha, I’m hoping they found the funny / cute side</p>
<p>@raith just watched that Class of 2009 video, nice speech. THANK GOD I KNOW IM NOT ALONE IN THE ADJECTIVE/ADVERB/EVERYTHING ELSE CONFUSION.</p>
<p>On a different note - does anyone here have twitter?</p>

Welcome to our little slice of home online
A few days left till Ivy day, hope you enjoy all the discussions that will be going on </p>
<p>@Lemming, @Rew and @PO
Shot for the follows :)</p>
<p>The Princeton and Columbia supplements were two which required a lot of effort!! I didn’t touch Brown because of it’s 3? essays and I heard Stanford’s app is crazy, so I didn’t open it!! :p</p>
<p>I asked a friend for two adjectives to describe me! Haha!!
I also put in Manchester United Football Club as my favorite source of inspiration!! 
And “believe” as my favorite word!! Haha!!
I forget what else was there…</p>
<p>@sunny/lemming - All the best to you both!!
You guys mean Carleton College and not Carleton University(in Canada) right?? </p>
<p>@PO - no twitter for me. I guess I’ll start one soon, but I rarely spend time on the Internet and have voluntarily disabled 3G on my phone. Only for the past two months - I have been obsessive about CC, Facebook and e-mail!! </p>
<p>I think my “WORST” application had to be UIUC. Applied with 30 minutes for the deadline. My first essay was a truncated version of my commonapp essay - even though it didn’t seem to fall in line with the essay topic. My second essay was a on the spot one about photography - full of cliches and grammatical errors. I just put in a few ECs and left all the not mandatory boxes!! Haha!! </p>
<p>Less than 9 days to go…</p>
<p>@Khj - Welcome!! :)</p>
<p>For Princeton:

Favourite website - xkcd

majorly screwed that one up… unless I get accepted? xP</p>
<p>@rishav
Thanks. Yea, Carleton College :)</p>
<p>I actually liked the Brown Supplement but forgot to submit my application. :D</p>
<p>i remember how i sent my unedited and non-proofreaded apps for Brown and NYU-AD/SH because i though the deadline was 12am as of the deadline and submitted in haste a full 24 hours early
gah. Brown had so so so so many essays 
i loved dartmouth’s supplement. if you know what i mean! :P</p>
<p>Thought I’d do the same…</p>
