<p>I think those counties are pretty close to SF.</p>
<p>Admission to Lowell (a public magnet in SF) is competitive, and I wouldn’t mind going to [University</a> HS](<a href=“http://www.sfuhs.org%5DUniversity”>http://www.sfuhs.org).</p>
<p>^ Hey I didn’t know that you go to Mission San Jose. My friend knows one of the IPhO gold medalists (2009) who was from your school.</p>
<p>^Heh, one of them came back last week to help proctor the Fnet=ma exam (which I didn’t do well on, but…).</p>
<p>I should really be studying for finals right now, but chemistry and history (finals on Wednesday) are pretty far down on the list of subjects that I like, so boredom drove me to CC…</p>
<p>I realised that I’m probably older than all of you.</p>
<p>Junior year sucks</p>
<p>^ Oh hey I’m from Westchester too. And junior year does suck.</p>
<p>treating me well, at least. my grades have never been higher! my ECs are off the charts as well, i’ve never been so busy and i’m even doing well there too.
i was a mostly B’s some A’s underclassmen in only a few EC’s, this year is completely different for me.</p>
<p>Yay 
All As this year (so glad I managed to pull an A in phyiscs :D) it’s too bad my freshman grades suck hahah Junior Year is alright so far, I can’t complain (well too much 
)</p>
<p>Salve fellow Juniors =)</p>
<p>My year is okay-ish. Could be doing better. Looking at colleges (well only two really.) Working on college essays. Trying to get some Zzzzz’s once in a while.
Trying not to drown under all this hwk . =/</p>
<p>Praying for more snow days lolz. ^__^</p>
<p>I had an epiphany a few weeks ago ( me + How to be a High School Superstar + The Last Lecture -> Epiphany). I’m taking things a lot more lighter and have gotten extremely laid back. Interestingly, my grades have not taken too large a hit. I just find life a lot more enjoyable now. </p>
<p>I recommend that you all purchase the book “The Last Lecture” if you haven’t already.</p>
<p>^ I’m tempted to do that but… I have to compete with ultra-competitive international students who’ve done loads of stuff more than me.</p>
<p>What schools are you all planning to apply to?</p>
<p>^ USC, Vanderbilt, and auburn.
USC is my ultimate dream school though :)</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Rutgers, NYU, University of Rochester, USC, Harvey Mudd, Duke, Emory, Vanderbilt, and a few more</p>
<p>UVa (obv), Georgetown, Tufts, Cornell, Brown, UPenn, Washington & Lee, George Washington…</p>
<p>Ah… UVA…</p>
<p>lol. </p>
<p>For me… It’s</p>
<p>MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, UPenn, UVA, Virginia Tech, George Mason, , might add GW because I know cool people there.</p>
