Juniors--Is it time yet?

<p>Ha ha I didn't do mine in a spreadsheet. =] Well let's I hope I might be able to see some of you whereever I am going. >/</p>

<p>My English teacher is FORCING us to visit one school over spring break and we have to do a report/5 minute presentation on it so the class gets info because she's college crazy. I probably would anyway, but if you can't get to a school, you're forced to visit the community college up the block.</p>

<p>That is interesting logisticswizard. I guess it is good that she wants you to visit colleges but idk, whether she likes it or not, it is your decision to go to college.</p>

<p>I can't wait to visit colleges: in April I'm going to Yale, Swarthmore, Princeton, and UPenn. Then later I'll visit Cornell and I'll do a Boston trip for Tufts/BU. IDK if I will visit UChicago or Northwestern...</p>

<p>Her logic is that since we are in honors, we obviously want college. Otherwise, why would we be in honors? I guess she also wants to help our "oral presentation" skills in the process. Her last year's class, she made do 5 hours documented community service for their English grade. I know that's not much, but it's still funny. She eliminated that one though because of parent complaints.</p>

<p>logisticswizard our english teacher made us do the same thing ( the oral present. about a college)...but in 9th grade!!!!! But the awesome thing was that at the time our college counselor used to work for admissions at harvard so he got us all the info we wanted through contacts of his ( most people did it on ivy league colleges)</p>

<p>thisyearsgirl: The "WIS admit rate", by the way, is the percentage of kids from my high school who have been admitted over the past five years,</p>

<p>thats an excellent idea, I'm gonna add that to my spreadsheet,thanks, but I doubt there'll be much info since few people form my school apply to colleges in the US. thanks</p>

<p>i don't even want to think about it, but i'll have to, so there's that, it'll be great though, i'll freak out, cry and curse out my grade in Geometry and my lack of extra cur. It'll be f**** awesome :)</p>

<p>When do most colleges put their applications for next year on their sites?</p>

<p>You can view them when summer arrives. Some don't put them up until September though.</p>

<p>Stanford SCEA most likely (99.9%).</p>

<p>Other top choice at the moment is Yale (as it is for half the people on the board dangit).</p>

<p>Applying for sure to UCs, almost guaranteed admission (4.857 GPA last semester, 2370 SATs, 800 MathIIC, 800 Chem, 770 French, 750 Lit - retaking for hopefully an 800), but HATE HATE HATE the swarm of grade-mongering cheaters (I'm around quite a few at my school, and it annoys me to death). UCs = UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCD, UCSD (yay for abbreviations).</p>

<p>Visiting these schools over spring break to decide: YALE (well pretty much a given), Princeton, Harvard, Middlebury (I LOVE Vermont, having grown up there as a kid), MIT, Cornell, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins.</p>

<p>Definitely applying to Northwestern and Rice because I love certain programs they have there, and possibly WashU.</p>

<p>At the moment, I'm thinking of Princeton, MIT, or Duke for my early.</p>

<p>I've no idea where to apply early. I'd do Swarthmore ED if I didn't need to compare aid packages. Chicago is out of the question because they don't let int'ls apply EA if they're applying for aid. Maybe Yale? I'll have to decide after I've visited.</p>

<p>=] Seems like everyone is planning to visit Yale. I don't what to ask. :/ Oh bummers. xP I'm visiting Yale over the Spring Break. :/ Also Havard and Brown. x.x I already been to BU. :D I think I'm going to plan to apply Havard EA. Ha I can't wait to get the answer.</p>

<p>I've visited some schools already, but I visted them when i was young. I will be revisiting those schools and a whole bunch of others during Spring Break and fall semester. As of right now, I will be applying to Rice ID, USC (before Dec. to be considered for scholarships), Univ. of Houston (before Dec.- has rolling admissions), Brown RD, WUSTL RD, and Northwestern RD.</p>

<p>good luck to you guys. :D</p>

<p>I'm visiting several schools during Spring Break, so I'm pretty siced about that. </p>

<p>Right now my list is Princeton (BIG reach for me), Cornell, Duke, WUSTL, Johns Hopkins, UMCP, UMBC, and Howard. I could change, but I do not want more than 8 schools.</p>

<p>I'll think about colleges after I get a good SAT score. =/</p>

<p>I've been thinking of the New England area, mostly because my sister is in Boston.</p>

<p>Perhaps somewhere like (safeties) BU, Gordon, (matches) BC, Tufts, and (super super reaches) HYPM?</p>

<p>oasis, anything above 2200+ is pretty good =)</p>

<p>Haha I've already visited Yale. TWICE. And again this spring and this fall. Maybe this summer too.</p>

<p><33333333333</p>

<p>My sisters go to colleges in New Jersey and DC, so I want to stay between Virginia and Massachusetts and east of, like, Ohio.</p>

<p>Yale does not want theoneo in their class mwhahahaha</p>
