by the way, ruella, do you have facebook/im whatever? we should start one for socorro 2007</p>
<p>i dont really remember what we could fit on the ssp application, and i cant find me essays/short answers right now, but i found my general stats from another forum:</p>
<p>I will have taken between 15 and 17 APs by the end of senior year, and none are self-study. So far, I've gotten 5s on 4 of them (soph year), and expect to get 5s on 6 more this year (in BC Calc and Physics C EM and Mech, for example, all but three people who have taken them in my school over the past 2 years has gotten a 5, the others got 4s). Recs will be good, guaranteed (based on recs already written by the teachers who I will ask). The rest of my stats follow:</p>

<p>Haha wow, congratulations to everyone. I joined the facebook group--hopefully we'll be joined by some other people soon. </p>
<p>Don't really feel like posting my stats in detail, because they don't really ask for stats in detail on the application (i.e. EC's and all that), but I had very good SATs (except for the only SAT II I've taken so far, Chemistry), 4.0 GPA, and only one AP score (the only one sophomores can take at my school), US Government, which was a 5. Stats definitely helped. I really have no idea about my recs, but I'm guessing they weren't that amazing. My math teacher is kind of a jerk: I asked him about the rec a week after I gave it to him and he completely forgot, so he says "come back at lunch today and I'll hopefully have it for you" so I'm guessing it wasn't that amazing. My physics teacher apparently writes amazing recommendations and he is very impressed with me, but since my physics teacher changed between semesters he had only known me for about a month. So I guess recs weren't a major deciding factor. I do think my essays were quite good though. So I don't really know exactly what got me in, but in any case, I'm happy :).</p>

<p>did you get a conformation that your application was received for early deadline? maybe double check, or if any part of it's incomplete, because the second deadline is... this friday, and you don't want to miss both... :/</p>
