<p>Hazy, my school is 7 periods too. I hated US History, our teacher could NOT teach whatsoever. Our old AP Chem teacher was evil. He gave my brother’s AP Chem class 150 pages of work over spring break. He called kids by number. He called CP kids monkeys. EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL MAN!</p>
<p>Haha, yes hopefully the world will wait to end for your final ;-D I’m just glad we’ll get our decisions before the end of the world, :-D</p>
<p>Not many people apply at my school, last year around 10 people applied, but from what I hear around it might be less this year. I am also nearly certain that no one else is doing ED. Are we compared to others from our school?</p>
<p>I hope they don’t just spring them on us on a random day… I want to be alone when I open it, but I don’t know if I could resist opening it if I saw it on my phone while I was out somewhere!</p>
<p>Yay1234, yeah I’ve read those threads too. But I think the Office always said 15th… Plus it’s Sunday today so I doubt anyone’s in the Admissions Office.</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, regular/honors classes vs AP classes…the difference is vast. I’m taking only one regular/honors class and it’s definitely challenging for all the wrong reasons. I’m so used to the AP crowd that having “regular” people in my classes is overly painful. The whole atmosphere is totally different! </p>
<p>Haha, worst day ever; NU sends out an email saying the decisions will be sent out on the 22nd of December.</p>
<p>Our AP is a joke. People are expected to take some of them (As in their parents will override them into it, if they don’t get in) such as APUSH, Lang, and stat so our AP and Honors are similar, while CP is totally different.</p>
<p>Some of the AP classes in my school are a joke but mainly, there’s almost a tangible rift between the regular and AP students. Then there’s those kinda of honors kind of AP kids. </p>
<p>Either way, I can’t wait to get out of high school and head to college! (Hopefully Northwestern~!)</p>
<p>@Crimsonstained That class was the lowest point of my high school career, haha. He didn’t even teach us lab technique properly. I saw in your previous posts that you do newspaper at school? Did you apply to Medill? I can’t be the only one on this thread who did :P</p>
<p>There are about 20 kids applying from my school. I think I’m the only one who did ED. A few of my friends applied for their medical program, and then I think there are a few for McCormick. We usually get in about 2-3 every year, even though my high school is ranked within the top 100 in the nation. It’s tough :(</p>
<p>pinklemonadeNE, I wouldn’t say you’re compared per se, but I don’t think they’d want too many kids from one place? But who knows how many is ‘too many’ for them…</p>
<p>And so true about…err opening-results-conditions. I want to be alone too but if I do get “the Email” on my phone I don’t know if I can resist. Also, I’m not the screaming/break down crying type. So whether I get accepted or rejected, I’ll probably have a weird smirk on my face and lurk off to tell my parents xD.</p>
<p>Okay I love Northwestern and all… But one of the things I fear most about being rejected is having to keep my grades up until I turn in (not to mention COMPLETING) my 100’s of regulars T^T</p>
<p>I didn’t think I’d actually get senioritis…</p>
<p>I take only AP classes, but it’s open enrollment so there are a ton of idiots in my classes. Literally, some of the stupidest people in my school are in my AP Lit and AP econ classes.</p>
<p>As far as people applying to NU, 10 applied last year, no one was accepted. I think around 9 may apply this year, but as far as I know i’m the only one doing ED</p>
<p>AP Chem…my teacher was completely incompetent. She spent most of the classes complaining about how she didnt want to be there or cussing at us. It was awesome though lol. Wasted year because I learned nothing…</p>
<p>Oh, wow. More than 50 people applied to NU from my school last year…I know of two other people besides myself applying ED and then a ton applying RD. </p>
<p>Ranfan, ours are pretty open too, so yeah, I know what it’s like having a class full of idiots. Our school is further opening up AP classes so I actually have a class with sophomores…it’s literally the worst thing ever.</p>
<p>Our AP classes are just a joke. Except BC, Comp Sci, Bio, and a few others they all are terrible.</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to Medill, because I don’t think I want to be a journalist. I enjoy the class, but I mostly enjoy the rants, since I am Opinions Editor. I’m not that great with grammar, and editorial writers don’t make much. I just don’t see myself doing journalism. Who knows, I’ve changed my mind plenty, I could pretty much end up anywhere doing anything haha.</p>
<p>Aquamay, jeez! how big is your school? AP classes with sophomores sounds awful, what class is that?</p>
<p>Sophomores in AP classes like Global Studies, maybe a language if they are fluent, maybe a science if they double up freshman year makes sense. Otherwise, that’s just strange.</p>
<p>I think that the young’uns at are school are possibly more obnoxious than the kids that are my age, and that’s saying something… Have you thought about the fact that every kid in elementary school (okay, almost all) wasn’t alive for 9/11? I feel old</p>
<p>We have a graduating class of 750 or 770, I believe. It’s weird how only like one or two people are applying to NU from others’ schools, it’s so foreign to me. </p>
<p>And AP European History…Stupid sophomores are like “I didn’t want to take US.” They’re so annoying. Underclassmen!</p>
<p>On top of that, crimsonstained, it freaks me out how kids are born in the 2000’s. It’s just so weird.</p>
<p>Well, I go to a semi-good school in SC, so not many people have necessarily even HEARD of Northwestern, much less applying. I know one person from this area who goes there, and he doesn’t even go to my school. AP Euro isn’t in our school… Sad, that’d be fun!</p>
<p>Yah, I don’t get how kids can be born after 1999? Or even 1995 
But it was really weird, I was babysitting 5 kids (well, the adults were there, just in a bible study, so baby temporarily watching) and I realized they were all born in a different millennium than me…</p>
<p>That makes sense. My school is super competitive so they’re all reaching towards the Ivy’s. </p>
<p>Yeah! We’re all so used to saying simply 94 or 83 or whatever year but with these 2000’s kids…They’re born in a different decade, different century, and a different millennium!</p>
<p>Yeah, all of the rest of the world is decades apart, those chitlins are Decades, Centuries, and Millennia apart… But think of it this way, we are some of the last people to ever live across a millennium, especially if the world does end before the year 3000. Then we were some of the last ever to live through a millennium period.</p>
<p>Ain’t that a thought? Cool and morbid at the same time!</p>
