The Hopeful Hoya Party

<p>Ok, I'm not gonna lie. The only reason I started this thread was because I kept reading "Hopeful Hoya Poetry" as "Hopeful Hoya Party," and then I thought, "Hey. Wouldn't it be cool if we had a HH Party thread?" So here you go.</p>

<p>Anyway this seems like a good place to vent and post meaningless anxious rambling statements. Or talk about happier things, like winter break and being done with college applications. Either way, it's all good.</p>

<p>I'll start- I cannot freaking wait until winter break, when all my applications will (hopefully!) be done, and I'll spend my entire week and a half chilling, eating sushi and ice cream, going to the mall (a place I haven't been since last May, no joke), and having some good times with friends (and not have to think about college!!) What about you guys? Any big plans?</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>I can't make plans, I need to know I'm going to college before I can think about anything else!!</p>

<p>Woohoo! Paaaartay! :D</p>

<p>I have a question for everyone:
-Of those of you who applied early, who will definitely go if accepted? i.e. How many of you will leave it at that, and not apply anywhere else?</p>

<p>I'm applying elsewhere (and dying under the stress of all these apps). I love Georgetown with all my heart, but there are other schools I love too, and if I didn't apply elsewhere, I'd always wonder "What if..."</p>

<p>Forget the what if. I'm going straight to Georgetown.</p>

<p>Okay, I'm gonna answer a question for once! If i get accepted, I will apply to two or three schools just to try for financial aid options. It will be hard, though, because I won't be as motivated to do the applications. Although it would be MUCH harder to do the eight applications I plan on doing if I get deferred. We'll see!</p>

<p>If I'm accepted...SIGN ME UP! I'm ready. =P</p>

<p>--Lauren</p>

<p>Abb- same here. I'm applying to 3 schools (2 of which are on the common app.) if I get accepted. If I'm deferred, then I'm applying to 8-10 schools. Eww...</p>

<p>However, I will most likely go to Georgetown (unless I get a full scholarship somewhere else or something). Hoya Saxa!</p>

<p>Man, now I feel like such a traitor to Georgetown!!</p>

<p>You are! I say we burn here on account of treason! God save the King!...er.. I mean Georgetown.</p>

<p>I'm applying to 8 total schools, but most of them are just to see if I can get money. A couple are just for the hell of it, just to see if i could get in (Harvard and Brown), 2 others i like and wouldnt mind going to, and 3 safeties, to see if I can get a full ride or something.</p>

<p>Like someone else said, I'll most likely go to Georgetown unless i get a full ride somewhere else. </p>

<p>Oh man, I can't wait for my 4 week vacation!!!</p>

<p>4 week vacation?! FOUR WEEKS?! Are you kidding me? Why on earth do you get a 4 week vacation? </p>

<p><em>dies of jealousy</em></p>

<p>wow! I only get 2 and a half. In terms of colleges, I've already applied RD to a few schools, just because I'm not too sure about financial aid. In the mean time though, I plan on doing a ton of scholarships over break, esp. if I get in. I can't promise I'd go to Georgetown, but I think it'd be worth the debt. You only go to college once, it might as well be where you most want to go, right?</p>

<p>2 and a half weeks? Geez, that's not bad either. Why oh why does my school SUCK so much? I get a week and 2 days. Yes, that's right kids, a week and 2 days. :(</p>

<p>ouch. Well, my school instituted a policy where we have NO 1/2 days, from August till May. So I think for that we got an extra few days. We start on the 17th, and go till the 4th, so hopefully I can celebrate all through break!</p>

<p>Wow, that's so nice. Well enjoy all your time! I, on the other hand, will be drowning in a sea of self-pity about my generally crappy school. Speaking of which, I have to go study for my FIFTH test in 3 days. Ouch, right? I wish the teachers would just lay off the homework and tests, just for these 2 weeks in December. That's all I need, seriously. But NOOOO, of course not. I've had more homework, essays, and tests these past few weeks than I've ever had before. So much for getting apps done during the week. :(</p>

<p>Well, Lauren, I've been on break for a month and a half now, why don't you go ahead and kill me too ;)..</p>

<p>Just kidding. It'll be alright.</p>

<p>Hehe.</p>

<p>I'll probably eliminate the schools I'm not particularly dying to go to, NYU and maybe Tufts. I'll apply everywhere else because I need to have financial aid options.</p>

<p>Our school is affiliated with WPI, so we get all of their vacations, which is why we have a 4 week Christmas vacation. I love our schedule.</p>

<p>if i get into Gtown, i will go ahead with all my other apps, because my mother is making me. haha.</p>

<p>and also because Dartmouth is tied with Gtown in my mind.</p>
