<p>Believe it or not, I'm still finalizing my college choices. They have changed, as my expectations became more realistic and as I realized that I would actually enjoy a college like St. John's.</p>
<p>Haven't even picked one up yet.</p>
<p>indecisive is my middle name, but i'm trying really hard not to change anything, because I really like the list. But part of me won't be happy unless i apply to every possible college</p>
<p>Almost finished requesting recs, finished 1 essay, revising 2 more, and yet to begin another.</p>
<p>celebrian - I know what you mean. I'm at nine colleges, and I know I should cut down even more but I'm like "well...what if? I should at least try." </p>
<p>I just asked my two favorite teachers for rec's. It was really casual actually. I was just like "I was wondering if you'd feel comfortable writing a recommendation letter for me." They both said yes, and I got all the necessary info needed to them today. Woot!</p>
<p>I've started my common application, by which I am applying to 4 colleges. I've basically done the entire app except for the essays and some EC stuff. I have done the entire chicago app except for the essays and sorta started my pepperdine app too. The UC application hasn't come out yet, but when it does i'll be right on it! </p>
<p>I feel like i'll have one good teacher rec and a good counselor rec... the english teacher i'm getting a rec from doesnt know me that well so his most likely wont be that awesome... but oh well... I'm planning on retaking the SAT's in october, maybe SAT II spanish in november (retake) and finishing most of my essays over thanksgiving break.</p>
<p>i've done all the boring background stuff for all of my apps + common app, already have my reqs requested, but i still have essay stuff to do--i've pretty much outlined what i'm going to write about, but i really need to just sit down one day and do it. i think i have four schools on the common app, and then three other ones. i'm also pretty (not) sure i'm applying ed to nu.</p>
<p>done with process</p>
<p>just need to finish the 8 essays i have left.</p>
<br>
<p>_></p>
<br>
<p>I requested recs from teachers and counselor. Did the easy stuff. Starting one of my essays.</p>
<p>celebrian - ditto on the "list"</p>
<p>i feel like now is the time to just apply to like, 12 schools. what's a few extra supplements to the common app? now if only my parents didn't think this idea was ridiculous.</p>
<p>Yeah my list is drastically different from a week ago. We're at the point where we need to be stabilizing our list, but mine is fluctuating more than it ever has before :(</p>
<p>I've requested recs, sent in Form 1, and done all the easy stuff for Form 2, as well as sent in SAT scores. So basically, I've done all the easy stuff, and I only have 2 essays left for my ED application.</p>
<p>Requested Recs a while ago. One was finished over the summer. The other will be done by Oct 1.
One essay is complete and ready to send in. I still have to write the two short essays for that school. I just completed a draft of the essay for the CommonApp and I need to do the EC essay. I think I'll end up recycling the essays for most of my schools. Stanford and UChicago apps will be torture.
Easy stuff is mostly filled out for one school but that's it.
I still need to send in SAT scores, but I have to send them in to NMS too so I'll do that then, probably by this weekend.</p>
<p>I finished one application for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.</p>
<p>Im done with the easy stuff on the common app.</p>
<p>I'm working on writing the essays for everything. I've written a few essays but I fear they're cliche/not good enough so I need more work on that. I requested the recs from my teachers & counselor but they are so slow. Im really mad at them. </p>
<p>By the end of this week, I'll have 3 more college essays done because we're doing them in AP Lit too :)</p>

<p>Same here. It's awesome. :)</p>
<p>I'm completely finished four, and my fifth one I only have to finish my essay. All the schools I'm applying to are rolling. I'm hoping to be able to send them in this weekend.</p>
<p>i've turned in apps to my 3 rolling admit schools.... but im thinking about not applying to my other schools simply b/c i dont feel like editing my essays... senioritis is destroying my life</p>
<p>Just turned in a college essay in AP Lit for a grade...I don't think my teacher will like my style - It took my AP Lang teacher a couple times before she got used to it.</p>
<p>I'm working on the Stanford essays separate from school. I need to get the rec forms to my teachers...and I need to send that Pitt application in by October 8th to save the $35 app fee.</p>
