<p>No, I didn't get in yet..
Unless you telepathically found out our acceptances?
I did find out that my school sent out my midyear without telling me my final grades. I'm very annoyed because there's a very large chance my grades are WRONG. Stupid school.
Anyhoo, the Steeler's won, which means I don't have to teach Comparative Religions tomorrow!</p>
<p>hahaha EPIC WIN!!!</p>
<p>well i just finished my Extended Essay, so im in a FANTASTIC mood!!!</p>
<p>and have three free periods in school tomorrow!!! </p>
<p>and no biology!!!</p>
<p>What's an extended essay?
Tomorrow I have four AP classes, one advanced (AP level, but not accredited), and my honors French 4. Aaaaalll in a row. My AP classes are all in the morning, too! And then I get one perfect period of aiding.
I'm dumb and I changed my schedule to harder for second semester.</p>
<p>Its something you have to do for an IB Diploma....</p>
<p>all my classes are IB so consider yourself lucky....i have one day every 9 days that i have three frees and no bio and thats tomorrow lol</p>
<p>IB isn't better than AP. IB and AP are just different programs and there's no way to compare them because they're so different. The IB/AP debate is completely b.s. I'm the environmental magnet program at my school. In order to graduate, we have to take APES, which isn't the watered down stuff that everyone else takes.
At the end, we write a 10+ page research paper, and we do a senior project. We either to independent research or some sort of important fundraiser type thing. My friend and I are working on it, we're doing a banquet and publishing an organic cookbook, complete with a description of what organic is, it's benefits, etc.. And we're setting it up as a fundraiser for MANNA. I don't consider myself "lucky".
Rant over!
So, I did end up teaching Comp. Relig today 'cause my teacher skipped out and left sub plans. One problem; we didn't have a sub. One of the other teachers walked in at the end with like, 15 minutes left in the class and was like, "I made myself noodles before coming.." I was like, "That's GREAT."
13 days. =]</p>
<p>Btw.. HAMILTON IS ON HEROES TONIGHT.
Ahhhh. Maybe it's a sign? Favourite school.. Favourite show.. Eh, eh?!
I can't stand the anxiety. I found out that I did bring my GPA up a bit, I believe! =D</p>
<p>floee, did you send any extra stuff to Hamilton...a letter from a coach, alumni, an interview? what do you think (our) chances are, because I see that both of us have a 610 in Critical Reading. I tried to show as much interest as possible by talking to their lax coach, having my cousin who graduated there last year write me a rec, and having an interview that was only decent. Hopefully, we'll pull through...but don't get too nervous. u do have that 31 ACT, and the half minority factor playing in though</p>
<p>I had an alumni interview.. But that's about it. I just tried to make my Why Hamilton essay as good as it could be, but I kind of messed up because I can't read and at the last minute had to cut it down from ~two pages (no joke) to the 2500 characters. >.>
I honestly have no idea what my chances are. All my friends/counselor/college counselor say that I'm a shoe-in, but it freaks me out. I'm really trying not to get my hopes too high, but I know that I will be crushed if I don't get in. I'm not really worried about my 610 in CR because I took it nearly a year ago. The 31 on my ACT is so much more representative of my abilities, as it is from October.
As I said on your thread before, I think you have good chances.</p>
<p>I cannot wait for decisions. Thirteen (almost twelve) days seems SO FAR AWAY. I've been constantly checking my email for an update from Hamilton to say that they're sending out the decisions early.</p>
<p>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. THEY'RE COMING OUT FRIDAY.</p>
<p>1) i love how you spell 'favourite'!!! my psych teacher is a British Indian American so she has an AWESOME accent but spells all her words like 'behaviour' and 'colour' and 'organisation'....its fantastic</p>
<p>2) i never said IB was better or worse than AP, but the full IB schedule is just über tough...and the extended essay that i just finished was 23+ pages of my writing (not including the petty stuff like bibliography, abstract, table of contents, and covers) and was a pain in the a$$!!!</p>
<p>and 3) what!? THEY'RE COMING OUT FRIDAY!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!???!?!?!?</p>
<p>and chances mean diddly squat because the whole college process is a crap-shoot! the valedictorian of my school who is in like every club, active in the community, and captain of the football team, didnt make Cornell!!! its ridiggalous!</p>
<p>I was taught the British way of spelling for a lot of things.. =]
And, they are coming out on Friday.. I started hyperventilating and crying. I'm so nervous. I got so dizzy I almost fell over on my stairs.
Don't scare me. >.<</p>
<p>how do you know that!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>Oh my god i got the email!!!!!</p>
<p>My knees got weak too!!! Lmaoo</p>
<p>I got it approximately 12 minutes after it was sent to me.
I don't think I'll be able to chill out for the next four days..</p>
<p>lol me neither!!!</p>
<p>Good Luck Internet Pal!!!</p>
<p>I am vowing to not stalk this website until after i find out lol</p>
<p>I'm.. Not..
I'm so scared!
Good luck to you too. I'M FREAKING OOOOOOUTTTTTT!</p>
<p>haha me too...</p>
<p>im also terrible at keeping promises, so bet on seeing me post within the next four days lmaooo</p>
<p>Well, having people to freak out with who won't freak out on you for freaking out is fun!
This is so unexpected. Like.. I was just innocently typing my post, saying how I was checking a lot.. Then I checked.. AND THE EMAIL WAS THERE.
Eeeeepppp. I'm gonna try to get some sleep to pass the time.</p>
<p>hahaha good idea!</p>
<p>im going to attempt doing biology homework to pass time</p>
<p>even though that will make it 1000x worse</p>
<p>Biology homework at midnight?
I'm committed to sleeping as much as I can for the next few days..
THREEEE DAYS!
I'm scared/excited. Excared? xD</p>
<p>i had four bubble teas today because im just as 'excared' as you are!!!</p>
<p>and my bio homework was an epic fail...</p>
<p>im an "art-english-theater-music-human rights-math-not biology" person, so i try my hardest lol</p>
