<p>Im about to start tonight... the fact that i have enough free time to discuss all of this online kind of shows how little I'm doing this summer... damn... i need to find some volunteer stuff</p>
<p>havent started, probably will start late july and during xc season in august.</p>
<p>ya wow i didnt know people would start THIS early. but i guess it couldnt hurt. as for me, in 3 weeks (yes it's that precise) i will start narrowing down colleges then by end of august application filling here i come!</p>
<p>i visited 12 schools in 14 days and did 4 of my interviews. i have a common app draft essay. i have a schedule that tells me exactly when to write every essay. not exactly encouraging to my withered little heart.</p>
<p>very encouraging: no more standardized tests!!!</p>
<p>i nearly fainted when i saw this thread topic..I thought that nearly everyone would be done already, thank goodness I'm not the only one who hasn't quite started yet. </p>
<p>I think I'm gonna start on my essays in a week or two..I want to research and read about the colleges I'm applying to first, so I know what I'm getting into..</p>
<p>for everyone calling those who are far in the application process overachievers:</p>
<p>actually, I do have a life. I just think ahead and decided to do everything early so I won't have to deal "I can't go out, my applications are due next week." when november comes. Normally, I procratinate EVERYTHING, but this is just too big of an obstacle to do so.</p>
<p>I'm not starting yet.. I want to enjoy my summer as much as possible. </p>
<p>I am doing other college related prep stuff, but not apps.</p>
<p>I agree with phishfan. Another reason I'm working on my apps is because I'm excited to. I figure I better put that enthusiasm to good use while I have it. :)</p>
<p>I'm excited too! but finals haven't ended for me, and I'm thinking that finals might be more important at this point in time. :)</p>
<p>LOL My teachers, who are hardcore, have been telling my class to get a kick on our Extended Essays and Internal Assessments rather than college apps.</p>
<p>I just want to find out info about applications to NYU, but I don't think anything's out yet. I'm applying there ED.</p>
<p>this thread scares me :[</p>
<p>thats the point =0</p>
<p>phishfan and Butternut:
LoL! I'm kinda excited too! I know that by the end of the summer I'm going to be so sick of apps and summer assignments so I'm trying to motivate myself to start now while I'm still excited about it. ;)</p>
<p>I work six days a week.</p>
<p>Sorry for sounding so lost, but where is this "common application". Is it the same one u find on some uni websites stating universal/common appplication?
thanx</p>
<p>type in common application website into google, and it'll come up.</p>
<p>thanx, but i do have another question: what's the difference between the common application and the universal application?</p>
<p>Different set of colleges that use them. Common application is still way more "common".</p>
