<p>I totally agree. I’m just revising…revising…revising.
I agree about the writing thing. I feel like writing is something that is so personal to me that it really sucks when my sister revises my essays. She says it’s really well written, and then she rips it to shreds. Bruised ego.</p>
<p>I can’t wait to send the darn thing off…Im tired of writing for colleges. It doesn’t leave me much time to enjoy my holiday :(</p>
<p>Good luck, as well!</p>
<p>Omg I know exactly what you mean. I sent my essay to someone who is a freshman in college right now who already went through the whole application process, and he was like… “it’s really abstract…<em>enter harsh criticism</em>” and I was like… wahhhh haha why would you build me up to bring me down? All good though, at least now I know my essays are better. </p>
<p>And thanks!</p>
<p>I’m way too scared to hit submit. Haha. Anyone else feeling this way?</p>
<p>Yep, in case I find a major mistake right after I hit submit.
But sometimes in the end I get so tired and sick with it I don’t care anymore and just click the darn button:D</p>
<p>Sadly no one I know can help me correct my essay…the most I could do is get my English teacher to look at it and correct obvious grammar mistakes but other than that…
I guess I should’ve translated it into Chinese and asked my Chinese teacher to read through it, haha. I don’t think I’ve ever written a proper English essay ever until the college applications…except for diary entries. Sad.</p>
<p>inconspicuous, I’m applying for theatre as well! 
Hopefully I’ll see you there (and here’s where a lame joke about your username goes…). I submitted mine about 3 weeks ago, and it’s nice to know that I’m done, but at the same time, I am still second-guessing myself. But that’s the nature of the college application process, isn’t it? :)</p>
<p>Totally:)
I submitted my my saftey ones earlier today, but Barnard is soooo hard to submit. Haha, now that I think about it, my username makes me sound like a creeper. Its one of my favorite words though
I hope I see you as well! Wisdom- did you send in an arts supplement?</p>
<p>So, guys I’ve finished my B suppements but and I figured out my routine, but it’s very strange and a little gross. I’m not sure how they’ll react. I think it’s pretty well written, but it could screw me too. I wrote about how my sister and I pick each others zits (ewwww I know) and how each time we do this, we emerge with a fresh face and an optimistic outlook, bc were <em>squeezing</em> out the negativity in our lives. Get it? Idk. I’m hesitant. haha :)</p>
<p>Hmm… that is a risky one, but you said it’s well-written, so you should be fine. I wrote about a guy for the character, so whatever. I didn’t submit an arts supplement anywhere, because I don’t like the Common App arts supp. I’m submitting my resume via other means to NYU, Pomona, and USC, though. I think. I can’t remember where I submitted what! Downside to applying to so many schools, I guess.</p>
<p>You’ve got the west coast and east coast covered, haha
I heard Pomona’s really cool. All those schools are so different. Why are you applying to USC, Pomona and NYU?..well, NYU’s is obvious.</p>
<p>I think the zit essay is risky as well, but it is quite unique and has a special meaning to you, so I think they’d appreciate that. </p>
<p>Haha Pomona! If only I lived closer, I would have loved to apply there and Occidental. Ahhhhhh guys I think I’m going to hit submit tomorrow morning… I feel confident about my Common App personal statement but the supplements I’m seriously like tearing up and beating to a pulp until they are perfect. I’m so scared!</p>
<p>good luck! It’s nervewracking, and, ngl, I’m still second-guessing myself, but I’m sure I will be until April, so I’d say it’s worth it. There’s nothing more I can do now.</p>
<p>Pomona’s a really good school, and NYU and USC have really strong theatre programs (so does Northwestern). All of the schools to which I’m applying are strong academically, and they mostly have good theatre programs. :)</p>
<p>@wisdomsomehow
What are some of the shows you’ve done/worked with in the past? Any current projects?</p>
<p>And… I submitted my application about an hour ago… it was my last one. I’m officially done with college apps. It feels good to be done :] Although I am nervous now, I’m going to try to relax. How’s everyone else feeling?</p>
<p>I wrapped up Little Shop of Horrors in November, which was our Cappies (high school critics) show. I had a blast! I was Crystal, one of the Greek Chorus, so to speak. The critics liked us, though they probably came on our worst night. But it was so much fun. 
I don’t have anything theatre-wise right now except for my NYU audition, and then we’ll probably start working on the spring play in February. But I’m doing swim team, Scholastic Bowl, and chorus right now, not to mention school, so it’s not like I’m not busy, haha. :)</p>
<p>I’m actually hoping to get a spot interning for the Public Theatre this summer. I have no clue if it’ll happen, but I think it would be aMAzing if it did! :)</p>
<p>Congrats, SkittleRose! :D</p>
<p>Ill take a chance w the essay :)</p>
<p>That’s awesome! Were doing Little Shop as well
But I’m not in it cuz I wasn’t able to deal with the scheduale. Conflict madness. And I’m sure you know how directors are when it comes to missing rehearsal 
We don’t know how Tommy Tunes will go though.</p>
<p>I feel…meh. </p>
<p>I have a question for you guys. If you got in and decided to go, is there anyone or anything that you’d be hesitant to leave behind?
I feel lame, but I’m really gonna miss my bf and family. I know its kinda petty but, man that’s gonna suck. I just feel like college decisions shouldn’t be influenced by relationships. It’s bigger than that. But still…i feel like I’m chosing between. And I feel sorta selfish too, cuz some girls go to colleges near of w their bf’s and I’m willingly leaving mine behind. Oh, the lameness.</p>
<p>As for my apps, I’ll probably send it in tomorrow. It’s kinda hard to hit send. Good for you SkittleRose! I wish I was that brave.</p>
<p>Hi everyone, first post on CC.
I applied December 1st RD to Barnard. It’s my first choice, and I honestly wish I would have done ED, but my counselor said that wouldn’t be the best decision (I’m a year early grad).
Do we have any idea when admissions decisions will start coming in?</p>
<p>@wisdomsomehow
Good luck for your audition!!! What’s your spring play?</p>
<p>@inconspicuous
I’d feel kind of bad leaving my dad alone, because it’s always just me and him at night in the house. My sister doesn’t live with us and my mom works nights, so I feel like he’ll get lonely without anyone else in the house. We don’t really talk, but it’s kind of comforting to know someone else is in the house with you. </p>
<p>I literally could not sleep if I didn’t submit my app… good luck everyone!!! It’s such a weight off once you do it.</p>
<p>@angedemusique
My friend who goes to Barnard now said that decisions get mailed out in late March.</p>
<p>We don’t know what our spring play is yet, I don’t think even the director knows yet! :)</p>
<p>I’ll feel bad leaving my mom, cause my dad works all the time, but hopefully she’ll convince him to work saner hours.</p>
<p>I think we’re doing “Dancing in Lugnasa” for our spring play. I’m agnes in it. I dont know if you guys do one-act play competition’s…do you?</p>
<p>@wisdomsomehow
My mother put this huge guilt trip on me when I began to talk to her about applications in the summer… she said that she’d have to start working the day shift so she could keep my dad company at night (he has anxiety problems, so…) but she kept mentioning how much of a pay difference it is and she’d be earning thousands less a year by switching shifts, and of course she’d tie it to how much private colleges cost. It’s hard without both my parents’ support. My mom is sort of beginning to see how much Barnard means to me, but convincing my dad will be a completely different (and much more difficult) task. </p>
<p>Are your parents supportive of your college decisions? </p>
<p>The theatre company at my school doesn’t really do pure one-act play competitions, but they do participate in competitions that have one-act plays as a category. I miss theatre now!</p>
<p>oh no, my parents are beyond supportive, although I can tell my dad wants me to stay in-state cause it’s cheaper. I feel kind of guilty about how great they are. 
I wish everyone’s parents could be the same way.</p>
<p>my school does do one acts, but only the IB theatre class participates. It’s a long story why I’m not in the class, but it involves the guidance department not letting me take 9 classes in a 7 class schedule.</p>

<p>My mom is eeehh. She already told me she doesnt have any money to pay for my college except for the CC (community) which I really really dont want to do cus I love Barnard soo much D:
So, I’m hoping Barnard’ll be nice w/ their fin. aid n i get loads of scholarships =<em>=
Anyways, my school’s theatre department is a bit lacking but we’re gradually getting better. we dont do one acts, however, we’re prepping for our musical
Oh ! & I turned in my application yesterday. now, I have to cross my fingers and wait about 3-4 months T</em>T</p>
