MITES 2017

what types of extracurricular activities did you guys write about for the second essay? I’m stuck between choosing my research experience or my volunteering with kids. both are really important to me, but I don’t know which to choose!!!

Did anybody else get a call?

I spoke about my part time job at McDonald’s and my coworkers who changed my life for the better

@potterbenn call for what?

@DancingwithStars and I wrote about my involvement in the band program since I’ve been doing it the longest

I spoke about my part time job at McDonald’s and my coworkers who changed my life for the better

@solarsystem from the OEOP office

What was the call about @potterbenn

@potterbenn I haven’t received a call from them. Have they called you? And if they did, what for?

@minimango @solarsystem they just wanted to make sure I was completing my app and make sure everything was going okay. it wasn’t anything big

@potterbenn ah ok

So what about that google doc or link to post our essays on Thursday

I need inspiration to do my essays lol why do I procrastinate and do this to myself L-)

Okay @Soccer1235
Do you want motivation in the form of tough love?

@Soccer1235 Is there a summer program that you didn’t procrastinate for?

OKAY guys this thing keeps on happening!
Every single time I try to post, halfway in my screen refreshes and I lose my post.

Does that happen to anyone else?

I love the last 24 hours everyone appears out of nowhere to help build up the rising tension.
Btw what other programs have you guys applied for?
I’ve applied for LEDA, MITES and TASP and I want to go in that order.

@arinuma MITES, TASP, state governors school, girl’s state

3 down 2 to go!

I am still on the fence about the extra essay

@CIRCUITDEBATER Well there was one I kinda spread over a week but not really. There are some due in March that I haven’t started but I have a month for those so then I can spread it over February.

@arinuma Sure

@Soccer1235
Okay- so if you constantly procrastinate, the work you churn out last minute will never be as good as anything you would have made within a few weeks.
Procrastinate and your chances of getting into the places you want to go will disappear, because THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO’VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOREVER.
If you procrastinate, you won’t be as good as you could be.
And if you’re the kind of person who works good under pressure, BERATE YOURSELF! Or FLAGELLATE I BELIEVE.
Work in small bites next time and START EARLY SO THE PROCRASTINATION WON’T BE AS BAD or when college apps come around next year @CIRCUITDEBATER and I will probably be doing this in another forum.
SO LIKE GET WORKING BUB. YOU’VE GOT 23 HOURS. FINISH IT THIS TIME AND DO IT WELL.
Note: Submit it now, so it won’t crash last minute like they’ve been warning us.

Nice profile picture by the way. I don’t know many Americans who are invested in the Premier league.
