<p>Ugh I really want to skip over the whole college application process...toooo stressful..anyone with me?</p>
<p>so you don't want to go to college? :b</p>
<p>The underlying assumption is that I do want to go to college lol. I mean..some college sent free apps with no essays...</p>
<p>If you don't, then you're on the wrong forum! : D</p>
<p>I just feel CC forums are filled with overachieving and competitive people, including me. But people who go to first-tier schools still know how to relax. Can this be an imagine-there's-no-college-app thread? :P</p>
<p>I wish I could submit an application in any kind of format I want</p>
<p>I'm with you, St. John's in Queens sent me a "priority app" with no fee and essay. It sounded appealing, but I just couldn't see myself going there. Oh well.</p>
<p>I just wish I could get all of the non-me parts of it done NOW-meaning the transcript (which will be a hassle to get at my school) and recommendations. </p>
<p>But..I don't know...I am actually excited to go to college...so I feel like doing the app is getting one step closer.</p>
<p>I wish college adcoms have mind reading power that will allow them to know me as well as I know myself.</p>
<p>I'm too excited for college, I've been wanting to go since Sophomore year.. Just the college app doesn't sound so appealing especially it involves a lot of strategies that even students who for sure is adequate for the school don't get in if they don't know HOW to do their apps..</p>
<p>Just take it step by step... start filling out activities, then the 150 word max short answer on an EC, and then the essay...</p>
<p>That's if I don't have two SAT IIs to take in Oct T_T</p>
<p>It's something many go through...relax and get over it is the only thing I can say. </p>
<p>I really don't think it's that bad, filling out an application and writing a couple essays. I may not understand it completely, but I really do think that people are overrating it and overstressing it too much as if it's the most difficult, challenging thing ever.</p>
<p>Any hobbies?</p>
<p>I think CC people are overrating it. My friend who's applying to Penn, Standford, and Cornell is writing two essays a day. It all depends on your perspective. Overstressing vs. being relaxed, who knows which one is good. For me, I feel like I tried harder if I had been a bit stressed about it, not saying it's true. </p>
<p>Tons of hobbies: drawing, tennis, building random things during free time
then again, "free" time has left my dictionary a long time ago..</p>
