<p>Are we talking NSPA?</p>
<p>So what’s the consensus as to when tomorrow (if tomorrow)?</p>
<p>4pm CST? 6pm? 7pm? CST</p>
<p>@citylove: HAHAH I CAN TOTALLY RELATE. I’m one of those kids who gets yelled at for reading and annotating half of whatever the assignment is because of 6 hour rehearsals. And here’s the kicker: my AP Lit teacher was the director of our fall show.</p>
<p>sure NSPA, Best of Show, State Rankings</p>
<p>@ross25: And wouldn’t you know, Alex Cabot is my favorite ADA ever. </p>
<p>As for yearbook, I would think the more leadership experience the better. It certainly won’t hurt you. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t consider anyone on my school’s yearbook committee to be Northwestern worthy. Last year I saw someone’s name misspelled three different ways on the same page.</p>
<p>We don’t pay for a state membership.</p>
<p>We’re a National Pacemaker and placed first in the fall Best of Show (Washington, D.C.) and spring Best of Show (Phoenix).</p>
<p>imallsmiles - I hate annotating stuff in general. I see the value of it sometimes, but other times, I spend so much time TRYING to come up with notes to write in the margins that I miss the point of what I’m reading. Just let me read it!! Gah!</p>
<p>@cclol-ish</p>
<p>is that for newspaper or yearbook? what school do you go to?</p>
<p>@citylove- “other times, I spend so much time TRYING to come up with notes to write in the margins that I miss the point of what I’m reading.” OMG. That happens to me all the time. I’ll look at the packet or whatever and I’ll be like “I only have [number] of notes on this page, I need to make more,” but it doesn’t help me understand anything better.</p>
<p>It’s a 128 page yearbook with a staff of 25. It was doing pretty bad for the past couple of years (financially, quality) that they got a new adviser and new staff. I just jumped on the wagon last year and was the financial editor, wanting absolutely nothing to do with the book, just the money and in one year, I got us out of the $5,825 hole and the beginning of this year, we had a balance of around $1,200 and somehow ended up being the Editor-in-Chief. In short, we are by no means anywhere near any ranking system. It’s slowly building up from below sea level.</p>
<p>I also started a Habitat for Humanity campus chapter at my school and wrote my essay on how that changed my view on life and how I want to keep making an impact on people’s lives. </p>
<p>Do you think that will help my relatively low (by NU standards) ACT score?</p>
<p>AAAAAH I love Alex! So much better than Casey…</p>
<p>Newspaper. I can just give you the link to our results if you want. I’m from Homestead in Indiana.</p>
<p>citylove - EXACTLY. we were just supposed to read catch-22 in 6 days with all of the marginal notes. I have rehearsal for a different show or choir every night. plus i have a job. and I KNOW that I’m not the only one in my class who’s in my position. how can anyone expect us to read AND write notes for a 350 page book and successfully understand and enjoy the book in such a short amount of time with such demanding schedules? College, come now. No. Northwestern, come now.</p>

You know what, mine too. I was starting to warm up to Casey Novak, but I’m kind of glad they brought back Cabot back. The other two (or three? I don’t know how many lawyers they’ve gone through) were just…not very good. I think the producers realized that and brought Cabot back from the dead. I haven’t seen any of the new ones though…my parents took away the DVR because they think I watch too much TV. And they don’t post SVU online.</p>

I would say by 7pm, we would all know. It’s hard to say since it looks like they’ve never released it this late. But I would say 6:30. That’s just my guess.</p>
<p>Someone just mentioned their essay topic, so I thought I might as well throw mine out there too. </p>
<p>My essay was about my short stay in France with a host family and how I was forced to eat a piece of incredibly pungent gourmet cheese while the entire dinner table stared at me. I think it was pretty funny. I wrapped it up by talking about how although it was repulsive, I am glad I did it because it left me with a true sensory memory of my trip and showed me the value of being an active participant in everything I do. </p>
<p>I hope the admissions people don’t think I’m just a weirdo who decided to write my essay about cheese.</p>
<p>im being tortured by this wait…i ran into NU freshmen yesterday and just now i saw a facebook ad for Northwestern College…luckily i havent had any dreams yet (although that just shows how little sleep ive gotten)</p>
<p>@imallsmiles: Catch-22 is the bane of my existence. Heart of Darkness is getting there.</p>
<p>My essay was about Quiz Bowl. (Other schools call it Academic Team, or some variation thereof.) Anyway, I wrote about how it teaches one to go with their gut. I hope it was unique and witty enough to give me a shot.</p>
<p>ha. thats awesome cclolz.</p>
<p>the yearbook at my school has similar credentials. but im not applying to medill.</p>
<p>is there a chance that they’d send it out monday morning? I mean last year it was saturday around 8a.m. and I really don’t want to wait until monday night…</p>
