<p>I think you're obviously doing all of the right things, but it's probably not the best idea to post this now, in the midst of madness for the seniors that are actually applying THIS year. Wait until next year to do this.</p>

3

<p>Hi woo. back already? :p</p>

4

<p>why the **** does it matter that she's posting this now? that's truly pathetic how sensitive some people about this being their board, you know someone's spoiled when they get possessive about an internet forum</p>

5

<p>jesus christ, calm down. i'm just suggesting that it would probably be more helpful if she waited a year considering that she doesn't have to apply for a year instead of stressing over it a year in advance. also, consider that if a ton of seniors are posting now, people may be more inclined to answer to their posts first, considering their need is more urgent. honestly, i don't understand what your problem is, but i don't want this to deteriorate into a meaningless, pointless internet flame war. if you've had a bad day, i'm sorry, but don't take it out on the nameless, faceless poster that you don't know and really shouldn't attack personally.</p>

6

<p>Yeah seriously (fight the power blurblurblur.) We're seniors, and right now we matter. He was merely suggesting that the junior wait a little bit since people are probably not going to respond.</p>

7

<p>Wow, I am so glad I wasn't as stressed as I am now during junior year about college stuff because there's no way I would have enjoyed life!</p>

8

<p>im a boy btw lol. but alright i guess ill wait till im a senior. sry for the trouble</p>

9

<p>hey woo! sounds like you're doing all the right things. I agree that maybe it would be more helpful if you waited until next year to ask for advice, but anybody will tell you you have a great resume so far. it's pretty cool you're from Long Island -- I live overseas right now, but I'm from stony brook :)</p>
