<p>I mean I COULD. But that would kind of be a waste not to get college credit for a year’s work.</p>
<p>At my school we get mercy college credit at 50$ a piece, so I already have 3 college credits plus whatever I get on the exams</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I get a similar deal but with the University of CT, but for free!. So I think I actually have something like 32 credits after this year. But I’m taking AP exams whenever I can in case I go somewhere that doesn’t accept UConn credit…hem hem Michigan…</p>
<p>Just got a 540 on my first Barron’s practice test for Math 2…I have a month and a half to get to a point where I don’t suck…</p>
<p>@msteiny Heads up, Barrons is harder than the actual test. By a lot. I was getting low 700s on their practice tests and got a 780(770?) on the actual test.</p>
<p>In other news, I’m pretty sure I’ve just about finalized my college list. </p>
<p>Safety: University of Connecticut (EA), University of Vermont(Maybe not), Boston University
Match: University of Michigan (EA), Tufts University, Berkeley
Reach: Johns Hopkins, Dartmouth, MIT (EA), Brown (Maybe not)</p>
<p>MIT, Michigan, and Dartmouth are my top 3.</p>
<p>failed my road test, failed my first math test and broke my phone all within the last two days…what a nice way to start wrapping up the year</p>
<p>You wish your school offered AP Chemistry and Physics? My school offers no AP classes so the only way I can get ahead is by taking the final exams in classes I want to skip and hoping for an A. All studying is on my own time so it’s really hard to do.</p>
<p>I got my NMS letter today 
I’m sure that I have no chance of being a semi-finalist, I’ll only be commended, but I chose two colleges anyway on the website so that the colleges think I’m really interested.</p>
<p>Oh I got my letter too! I’m not sure which colleges I’m going to pick though. I think I have a good chance at NMSF. I got one point above last year’s state cut off so im a little nervous.</p>
<p>I finally understand the whole, “Once you step onto the campus, you’ll know” idea. I knew Harvard and Wellesley were the perfect fit for me, and MIT wasn’t, at all. I can’t wait to visit more colleges; it makes the search rather exciting.</p>
<p>Really? I went to GWU for Model UN and it doesn’t really have a campus. It’s just a bunch of buildings in the city. BUT OMG DC IS GORGEOUS I WOULD SO LIVE THERE.</p>
<p>Yeah; visiting the campuses made me realize I want an actual campus. I didn’t dig the urban campuses as much because they seemed a little disjointed. And D.C. is super awesome; I visited American last summer and D.C. blew me away.</p>
<p>I just don’t have time to go visit colleges. Let me get in first and then I’ll worry about it.</p>
<p>Speaking of college visits… I visited Emory yesterday and I’m at Mich right now. This place is freakin huge.</p>
<p>I’m a junior and all I can seem to think about it college! I look up college info everyday, faithfully! I honestly don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing. :(</p>
<p>Oh, and the University of Michigan is my dream school. <3</p>
<p>^ I can see why, this place is awesome!</p>
<p>The people here just radiate school pride, it’s insane!</p>
<p>UoM is on my list. Yea the region Norte Dame/UoM/ and Ohio St. are the most prideful around here.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>same here. I don’t want to get all hyped up only to be disappointed later. besides, you look at colleges differently after acceptances</p>
<p>Yeah. I’ve visited Dartmouth, Tufts, and JHU, but idk if I’m going to visit everywhere on my list. I might do Brown since its pretty close…we’ll see. I got my NMSQ letter too, I put JHU and MIT as my two colleges, even though I don’t have definite top choices. </p>
<p>Also, do you guys know if you can apply ED to a school and EA to others? Because I’m thinking of doing Dartmouth ED and then EA at Uconn, Michigan and MIT. Dartmouth is just so selective after a certain point (i.e. 700s in all SAT sections, decent GPA), I definitely need a failsafe.</p>
<p>Still haven’t visited any schools… ^.^
I know for sure I’m visiting MIT this summer though… I’ll probably do Harvard, BC and Northeastern while I’m there ^.^</p>
