Just wanted to come back to my favorite board ever and say...

<p>I finally finished the rest of my RD apps!!!</p>

<p>congrats, nelle! and you of all people shouldn't be stressed because, if i remember correctly.... you always have OXFORD as an option!</p>

<p>And now you have to embark on the long, nerve-wracking journey until April.</p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>

<p>I was posting at the same time as kraor, so I just say his/her post. YOU GOT ACCEPTED TO OXFORD?!</p>

<p>CONGRATS, NELLE!!!!</p>

<p>and kraor's a girl, despite the manly username ;)
(that's going back a while, huh?)</p>

<p>It's HER post!!! Sorry, long story. :D</p>

<p>Yep - and thanks! But it's so expensive, I've applied to 8 more schools so I might have some options.</p>

<p>lol thanks for clearing up my gender!! i was considering making a new, feminine username (like fairygirl or something lol) if i got deferred/rejected... but i guess i will just have to stick with kraor!</p>

<p>and yeah, that is smart to look at other options. college is sooo expensive. oh btw nelle- did oxford accept you regardless of how well you do in school for the rest of the year? my friend said she was accepted unconditionally or something.</p>

<p>Hahaha fairygirl. Yeah kraor, make your new name pinkprincessdaisysunshineflowertutu. </p>

<p>Everybody unfortunately usually thinks I'm a guy too.</p>

<p>haha fairygirl...no gender ambiguity there!</p>

<p>lol i like kraor's name..its inspired by the best book in the world!!! i actually had a lot of fun with my northwestern essay about if i could pick a fictional character as my roommate, who would it be >>> howard roark.</p>

<p>haha i'm glad i'm not the only one mistaken for a guy, j07! :D we can sympthasize</p>

<p>omg i would definitely choose roark too!! except in female form... because i can't really have a male roommate.</p>

<p>except now that i think of it, roark would probably hate me as a roommate...i mean he doesn't really like anyone... except dominique.... and as much as i could pretend i'm a replica of dominique... well... but i mean he is still amazing and everything...</p>

<p>haha ok wow i have to stop rambling and pretending that fictional characters exist</p>

<p>I always thought you were female j07, because your username sort of looks like J Lo lol... I have heard of Oxford accepting students conditionally, especially with the IB. Usually stuff like 'A score of 7 on 5 of your courses' which is seriously a lot to ask for.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, do you think I'm a guy or girl? lol</p>

<p>does anyone think that I'm a girl? lol</p>

<p>Well, I would imagine that your a guy because your name sounds kind of manly in a way, lol. I know a girl on another forum who's username was ducktape. It sounds pretty boyish, don't you think?</p>

<p>I would say ungst is a guy.
I don't know rockermcr, I think you're a girl? Maybe?
Don't be offended by that if you're not!</p>

<p>I'm a guy. Don't worry, I'm not offended :)</p>

<p>Lol, this reminds me of that girl/guy list we had on... our roster, was it? </p>

<p>And yeah, I got accepted on the condition of getting a 4 in AP Chem. Awesome, right? I was sure they'd demand a 5...</p>

<p>I just used my name, so I hope that everyone can tell I'm a guy :).</p>

<p>kraor...you just made me realize that mabye i should have said something about choosing roark in female form on my NW essay...ahh! i hope that doesnt hurt me too much! but yeah, roark would probably hate me just because i'd sit there and idolize him all day...hahaha</p>

<p>Haha sorry rockermcr. I KNEW YOU WERE A GUY.
Well...I didn't.
But I did, sort of.
And nelle I remember that list! I remember it being mentioned that oh miss zanna BETTER not be a guy...;)</p>

<p>haha nelle i'm sure it's fine. it's his personality you want as a roommate, so his gender shouldn't matter! i was just being overanalytical. it's probably better not to say that in an essay, cause it takes up space and doesn't like.. reveal who you are or anything :D</p>

<p>lol yeah jon i would hope everyone could tell you are a guy. it was quite smart to use your name. it's just that i unconsciously formed images of all of you in my head, based on your personalities and usernames. i don't even realize it happened until i learn that i have the gender wrong or something lol.</p>
