<p>is it too late to submit an application?</p>
<p>I don’t know if different people got different deadlines but mine was January 17.</p>
<p>The deadline my son had was Jan 17. He decided not to do it. Just too burned out to write another essay.</p>
<p>Oh very understandable, it all becomes kind of meaningless at this point…you just feel like you are typing with no feelings behind it! Which is never a good way to go if you dont feel good about it. A common senioritis symptom im all too familiar with :)</p>
<p>I copied and pasted other essays I had from other applications. I don’t think I could have written a brand new, 1000 word essay.</p>
<p>Haha I do not blame you, I have luckily been able to do that with a few of my essays too! Have you officially decided on state?</p>
<p>I don’t remember the topic for the essay, but - from what DS told me - he didn’t have anything from his variety of already written essays that would work.</p>
<p>Kinda funny…yesterday he got a brochure about the honors college in the mail. Kinda useless since his deadline was this past Sunday!</p>
<p>Was it a terribly long application, what was it like?</p>
<p>Yeah I got a brochure just a few days before the deadline. The topic was essentially to tell how you are a good fit for the UHP, 1000 words. I basically evidenced my intellectual curiosity through summer activities and extracurriculars that I had already written about in other essays.</p>
<p>I’m not 100% on State yet, but it’s the only school on my list that I can really afford without financial aid (of which I am likely to get little). If I get the Park I’m definitely going.</p>
