<p>@screamingpumpkin I’m sure you’ll be fine 
there might be a rude person here and there, but don’t let it get you down.</p>
<p>@Greenwave2015 holy crud, you’re busy O_o I work better when I’m relaxed so I make an effort not to stress out. Good luck on all your stuff!</p>
<p>@Ginnymills Ah, okay lol. Good to know XD</p>
<p>@AstroAero I figure, yep!</p>
<p>also I CAN’T HANDLE ALL THESE FAST RESPONSES AHHHHH lol</p>
<p>haha MIT as a safetyXD My other top choice is USAFA and the application process for service academies is EXTREMELY demanding</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>APPLE! simply because the trackpad for the macbook pro is just phenomenal.</p>
<p>so may exams that we most likely should be studying for but are not because talking to complete strangers on the internet about a summer program at MIT is so superior XD Not even being sarcastic…</p>
<p>@screamingpumpkin I’m looking at Georgia Tech, Olin, Harvey Mudd, and Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for engineering. I also really like Wisconsin-Madison but they’re not necessarily renowned for their engineering per se. Someone also mentioned Rose-Hulman earlier in the thread.
As for the other colleges I’m applying to… I’ll probs also apply to Yale, Cornell, Brown (all reaches, goodness), Case Western, Berkeley, CMU, UChicago, Duke, UMich, Northwestern, and possibly Johns Hopkins, though I didn’t quite like it. Most of these colleges are a tad reachy for me but I figure I’ll make at least ONE of them XD</p>
<p><em>build your own computer</em>. Haha. Idk, I like my pc (dell inspirion) because I got it for 500$ and it has a i7 processor, 1TB Storage, and 8RAM. The performence on this thing is great and I don’t see too much more benefit on buying a MAC, my PC NEVER has any issues/viruses/junk. Only thing that would be nicer would be an SSD drive, but this laptop suffices all my needs, including using the Adobe Master Suite software. Trackpad… MAC wins hands down. I use a mouse though.</p>
<p>My college list (so far):
<p>@pumpkin, I’m taking SAT subject tests as well:P. I’m taking BC and Physics C:Mechanics, but not chem.</p>
<p>@whoever was doing all the same stuff + sports, I’d die! </p>
<p>Harvey Mudd’s right around the corner from me, and it’s such a nice school, with a tight-knit community.</p>
<p>Yeah, Harvey Mudd is probably my choice #2 to MIT. It seems so AWESOME!</p>
<p>@Greenwave2015 same here, very stressed, ACT this week, 4AP test in a few weeks,SAT subject test after that waiting for MITES e-mail. But I see all this as prep for when we are waiting for decisions from college apps. </p>
<p>@ eveyone Btw, love Star Wars, I am an ENTJ and I love Apple, but the chrome book is growing on me.</p>
<p>I’m a mac person. and anyone in need of ap chem help I’m here c: . I took it last year and I’m taking college chem now (I don’t want to be a chemist, it’s just that I’ve had really bad luck in that I haven’t had the chance to take physics yet :/)</p>
<p>@Greenwave2015 Yeah haha, sports and debate! Also, anybody who is huge on athletics, you may want to fill out a recruitment form on MIT’s website</p>
<p>@Fredsterboard how did you prep for the ap chem exam?</p>
<p>All this talk is fun but I gotta do Euro homework XD I’ll be off for the day, then. G’night, guys!</p>
<p>@TheCupcakeSpy I guess the best thing to do is just get yourself a “5 steps to a 5” and read it for a refresher. Any topic you don’t understand you read the textbook</p>
<p>Yeah, I have a college chem exam so I should probably get going too. In the highly unlikely event that decisions are released tomorrow, I wish you all luck!</p>
<p>@Fredsterboard Thanks :)</p>
<p>What kind of sucked when I took it is that in the middle of the time for the essays my proctor interrupted me and had me fill out the answer sheet. Long story short, I ran out of time for 30% of the essays ;-; (still got a 4 though, retaking it to get that 5 though since I feel like I could do better)</p>
<p>also, @TheCupcakeSpy, make sure you memorize the things that need memorizing and understand the broad concepts. If you have that you literally have the whole test and can answer the rest of the questions using common sense</p>
<p>by memorized topics I mean solubility rules, terms, etc…
Broad concepts I mean reaction rates, thermodynamics, lewis structures and the rest. You can extrapolate everything else you need with that basis</p>
