<p>Wow, how many programs are you applying to? 5? Prepping for college apps? Lol, I'm not a specialist at HSHSP so this post is sort of pointless.</p>

3

<p>I'm not sure if HSHSP will look at awards/ecs (unless you integrate them into your essays or something). And, there was already a thread on this forum before about HSHSP.</p>

4

<p>OMG so is anyone going ???????? :D:D:D</p>

5

<p>Has anyone else heard back from hshsp yet?</p>

6

<p>when do decisions for the rest of us come out?</p>

I just decided yesterday to go. Sort of torn, since my friend from London is coming back over the summer and I'll miss him almost entirely, but I dont want to regret passing on this opportunity.</p>

<p>That said, if HSHSP started just one day later my friends and I could have gone to a Pearl Jam concert. Such bad luck :(</p>

This may be obvious given my above post, but yeah, I have.</p>

<p>Also, based on Narcissa's first post, it's a miracle and a half that I got in with people like her applying.</p>

<p>oh, reading list:
lots, I read like 10+ out of school and 15ish in school. I wrote my paragraph about Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. It's an incredible book. Read it. Please.</p>

8

<p>Really? I just told the truth and put what I had read outside of school o_O Maybe I should not have done that?</p>

9

<p>oh, I didn't mean to imply that I was dishonest with my book list. I just read a lot of books this year. I made sure to make it clear which were in-school and which were independent, since I thought thats what I read we were supposed to do on the sheet.</p>

10

<p>^yeah it was. my book had like 30 books on it; i've truly read all of them tho! </p>

<p>And do you have a facebook? Let's have a pre-HSHSP party!!!</p>

11

<p>sounds like fun</p>

<p>yeah, my facebook is Drew Gleeman (I'm the only one I think), and / or AIM is dgleeman2</p>

<p>Yeah, I read all of the ones on my list, too. Except I sort of skimmed Great Expectations because it was really, really boring.</p>

12

<p>haha I read Great Expectations twice</p>

<p>it was cute and cruel</p>

<p>I don't think I rememberd to put it on my list tho, my list was mainly mathy books</p>

13

<p>should i make a fb group!! i made one JOIN GUYS</p>

14

<p>I hope you're the person I just friended on facebook. And if so, 124 wpm is really impressive.</p>
