The Official M10 2019 Freakout Thread

I liked the Mr. Brightside idea…

Not sure what I’ll listen to. When I open my 8-9AM decisions, I’ll probably blast some lighthearted music like Yung Gravy lol

Dunno about the rest though

I will be on the way to an event, so my mom will text me so I will freak out in a car crammed with 7 people. Fun.

Also it’s ALMOST M8 WHICH IS ALMOST M9 AHHH

OH LETS GET HYPED

It hasn’t sunk in yet … until I think about dorms and feel sick (I’m definitely stressed, I’m just not fully aware that I’m stressed) … the anticipation is too much

I think to burn some time I’m going to take an SAT math practice test… got to see where I’m at.

IMHO SAT English is so much easier than SSAT English … and the readings are (almost) always much more interesting.

Math … not so much. But it’s still not that bad.

@ThatScorpio I dunno, those SAT 1800s readings aren’t great…

SAT math gets me simply because I’m awful at math. SSAT math was my lowest percentile, too rip

@CavsFan2003 bro… I read something by Hamilton once … it was difficult but it was really interesting!!

@ThatScorpio But the SAT never has anything from the coolest founding father… :frowning:

It’s crazy to think that in a couple of years we’ll all be back on CC… just this time the SSAT is the SAT, Andover and Exeter are Harvard and Yale, and M9 becomes December (early action).

That’s wild :o

I’ve been nervously rereading my essays. This is not good. My Andover essay is SO BAD

@CavsFan2003 I’m never rereading my essays… I’m too worried I’ll find a grammar mistake!

Since the decisions are already made, what did you write your Andover essay about?

@ThatScorpio I did the “what do you nerd about” essay and wrote about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which in itself isn’t bad, but my essay was so short!

@CavsFan2003 haha “what do you nerd about” …
How short? If you answered the question and showed the AOs who you are, you’re all good :slight_smile:
I had to cut like 200 words out of mine bc I overwrite like crazy (I was a wreck while editing) but in the end it was ok I think. I did the “Tell Us Your Story” one and wrote about robotics and creating a mural at my school, and trying to inspire the teams and students of the future (and writing the word “Inspiring” on a rock in the school rock garden lol but it connected everything together)

@ThatScorpio Idk, probably about 250 words?

Also that’s really good!

Oh my god, I haven’t even thought about college admissions but I’m definitely doing Early Action, I can’t do this wait again!!

That’s so cool @ThatScorpio

@CavsFan2003 honestly I don’t think length matters as long as you answer the question.

and thanks. I’m really banking on my essays to be the best part of my application ??

@misslilbookworm thanks :slight_smile:
