<p>Who else here is applying to Pitzer RD???<br>
I am! I'm from Chicago and can't wait until April 1!! I finished my application but now I really want to do a mycollegei video.</p>
<p>I am! I’m actually working on my essay right now, Pitzer’s supplement has by far been the hardest one for me to tackle.</p>
<p>im applying RD!
it’s one of my top choices.
the supplemental essay was difficult.
canNOT wait until april 1</p>
<p>Applying RD as well.
Seriously, that supp essay was the longest essay of all the schools I applied to!!</p>
<p>I thought the essay was really hard too. The mycollegei prompt is difficult too, considering I’m a Caucasian girl. I’m going to film it video sometime this week though 
APRIL 1!!! 97 days, 19 hours…I just googled it hahaha.</p>
<p>do you all mind sharing how you took on the prompt? I’ve got a little somethin’ somethin’ so far but I’m trying to make sure I’m answering the question…and answering it is just flat out hard</p>
<p>dancepsychlove I see you’re applying to Occidental as well, me too!</p>
<p>Sure, not a problem. Basically, I tackled each of the four values and discussed a bit of personal connections to the values and the problems our generation faces in acquiring these traits. For example, social responsibility: obviously, our generation faces the issue of social irresponsibility. Miley’s Salvia incident, anybody? I talked about why I personally feel it’s important to be socially responsible as a role model for my dance company/Model UN club, etc. and gave a couple of ideas of how to promote social responsibility, i.e. arranging alternative activities. I thought it was really, really hard so hopefully my MyCollegei video helps me out a bit.</p>
<p>That’s awesome that you’re applying to Oxy too! Oxy and Pitzer are among my top choices…hope it goes well for both of us at both schools. I’m also applying to small LACs on the East coast. :)</p>
<p>Merry Christmas!</p>
<p>But really, this essay is killing me, especially since Pitzer bases a pretty big percentage of its admission off of it from what I’ve heard.</p>
<p>AHHHHH.</p>
<p>so I just finished editing mine but I dont think I fully answered the question, it reads like one big whopping cliche</p>
<p>@peacelovesoul: DITTO…times ten.</p>
<p>Ditto times 20,000,0000. I can say no to drugs and encourage other people not to get too… I can take lots of classes and show off my knowledge. Then our generation will be happy. Ugh. The mycollegei prompt leaves room for nothing but cliches too…and it’s especially awesome to be a cliche American Caucasian girl, right? Not.
Oh well. I do love Pitzer. 93 days til April 1!!!</p>
<p>YES, exactly.
I’m sure our essays are well written which should be worth something. I just wish there were more ways to show personality in this essay. And same with the MYCOLLEGEi prompts. I’m unsure exactly how to answer that, like you said the answers that come to mind just seem so very cliche.</p>
<p>Should I be excited or scared for April 1st?! AH !! :(</p>
<p>I agree…I really wish the prompt was more like “why are you unique?” or “given your personal circumstances, why Pitzer?” Or even Oxy’s short essay about habits was good. Oh well.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m absolutely terrified, but I just want to know…now. I applied all RD to colleges and I’m kind of sick of the ED acceptance Facebook statuses.
92 :)</p>
<p>I’m in the same exact position. People keep posting statuses about ED and EA and I feel as if something is wrong with me because I’ve gotten in nowhere…granted, I am completely RD due to financial reasons, but it’s still making me feel uneasy!</p>
<p>youth I feel you its RD all the way for me because of financial reasons</p>
<p>that and I missed my two EA deadlines :/</p>
<p>since the deadline is quickly approaching would one of you like to read my Pitzer essay I haven’t had anyone read it and I could really use a second opinion and extra set of eyes.</p>
<p>Sure! PM it to me. I submitted mine a long time ago, so no worries there.</p>
<p>I sent in all of mine today, I’d be happy to look at yours :)</p>
<p>My essay is 1000 + characters over the limit, ugh :(</p>
<p>Well this thread…died. I just remembered ir when I got the email for the portal login.
Woott who’s exicited for April 1?</p>
<p>So excited/nervous. MOSTLY EXCITED. I keep checking all my portals as if for some reason all the schools will decide to do admission statuses now.
I am so ready to be done with the waiting!</p>
