<p>So I’m not the only one using CC as a procrastination tool!</p>
<p>I personally find the longer essays easier because schools normally give you multiple essays prompts to choose from, so you’re not forced to write an answer to question you don’t feel passionate about.</p>
<p>That’s understandable. How many schools are you applying to? I’m applying to seven schools, and I’ve only completed one application… haha</p>
<p>I’m applying to four schools, but only three involve written responses. I’ve only finished one as well, but I’m almost done with number two!</p>
<p>What school doesn’t require a written response?! I want to apply there!</p>
<p>Four schools, done with writing, now the difficult “revision phase”…
^me 2! Lets apply together!</p>
<p>It’s a local public school (that you have to actually get admitted to) and they only admit you based on your academic skills from seventh and eighth grades. You don’t even have to interview!</p>
<p>And for those who need some motivation:

<p>Lucky!!!</p>
<p>Is anyone sending in a supplement with their application? (I.e. a photography portfolio, tape of a dance/band performance, etc.)</p>
<p>I’m sending a photography portfolio :)</p>
<p>I’m sending a CD with recordings of me on violin, piano, and vocals. :D</p>
<p>Just decided what to write for my movie recommendation. Pay it forward.</p>
<p>^ Cool! Which school is that for?</p>
<p>And just tried pasting my essay into the Gateway Hotchkiss App. It cut off nearly half the text because it goes over the space allocated, even though it’s within the word limit. This stinks.</p>
<p>Oh by the way, did you guys give titles to your essays?</p>
<p>@Blehjoints, Are you sending a hardcopy portfolio or a website portfolio? I didn’t give my essays a title. I didn’t know that we had to.</p>
<p>Website. Seems more convenient. You? Are you sending a photography portfolio as well? Oh no I’m just wondering about the title thing.</p>
<p>I was also going to send a website. Do you already have a site made? Or are you going to put one together solely for this purpose? I haven’t put my website together just yet. Are you using a template for your website? Or are you going to build it from scratch (HTML/CSS).</p>
<p>Oh no, I’m using a portfolio host site (something like carbonmade). Are you sending photography as well?</p>
<p>Yes, I’m sending a photography portfolio. I just recently got into photography (about 6 months ago). So, I have a very limited selection of photos to choose from. How many years have you been doing photography? What do you specialize in? I primarily do landscapes and flowers. Do you mind if I have you critique it, before I send it?</p>
<p>Cool! I’ve been into photography seriously for 2 years, and before that it was a supplement for my digital art. I like street/architecture photography best! Yeah sure pm me 
I can show you mine if you want as well :D</p>
