<p>Yeah, I’m taking math ii and chem. hby?</p>
<p>I feel just pathetic. </p>
<p>First: Had my Harvard interview. I agree. Very awkward, very brutal. I do not feel good about it at all and I felt like her questions didn’t give me a chance to really let herself know who I am. </p>
<p>Second: I am registered to take the SATs tomorrow (redo my horrible SATII scores, 610 and 620 to say the least) but I gave up. I am right in the middle of finals. I had two yesterday and three more coming up after the weekend and I am just not ready to redo my subject tests tomorrow. I know, it is really bad, but I figured that my bad scores would just look worse if I took them a second time and didn’t improve (or did even worse). So ya, Im feeling pretty inadequate right now haha. </p>
<p>And I have a question, does getting an interview for a school mean that you have gotten past the first round of admissions. I have heard that a school will have a committee take out the applications that have no chance at all, and then the decent ones go past the dean and then undergo real consideration. I know that they try really hard to give everyone interviews if they can, but would they really interview someone who wasn’t in the same league as other applicants? </p>
<p>But I guess it doesn’t really matter now for me haha. Goodbye harvard!! I will see you at McGill!! Surprisingly I am becoming really interested in McGill and I really do want to go there. Partly because it is in downtown montreal (I have never been but it is supposed to be an amazing city) but also because it looks like great school. I am so glad that I want to go to McGill, because otherwise I would feel pretty hopeless on April 1st when I get all my rejection letters haha</p>
<p>Yup Viggy I’m taking my SAT I again.</p>
<p>Whitney I totally know what you mean! I haven’t studied for SAT at all and I’m afraid that it’ll be horrible; exams and stuff are definitely killers, my mom suggested that I don’t take the SAT tmr…but hey, if I don’t go, I will just wake up at 12 anyways. Plus there is always score choice, right?</p>
<p>Also, from what I know, schools offer interviews to EVERYONE, not based on the strength of their apps.</p>
<p>McGill is definitely one of the best choices here in Canada ;).</p>
<p>HAHAHHAHA. I took Math I and Lit again today. I took the Math test first, and I was totallllyy out of it for the first half. And then when my brain actually started to work, I was so pressed for time that I didn’t even have time to look at 8 questions. T_T Lit was good though. XD</p>
<p>Annnnnd, a Brown alum left a message for me today about setting up a time and place for an interview. SO EXCITED. Though, it’s probably going to make the rejection letter in April that much harder to look at. LOL</p>
<p>lool cantaloupe same thing happened to me when I took bio.</p>
<p>Hey, anyone else experiencing big grades dips? 
I don’t even know if I can get a 90 average this semester anymore. :(</p>
<p>^ I’ve dropped a teensy bit… My friend who’s taking a bunch of sciences dropped a lot too. D:</p>
<p>I had my Brown interview this afternoon! The alumna was really nice and we talked for an hour-ish. Too bad interviews don’t count for anything. <em>sighs</em></p>
<p>^^^ I feel exactly the same way. I feel like I nailed my princeton interview, if only alumni interviewers had some say on who gets in!</p>
<p>My grades have also dipped, but if I pull off great exam marks then it shouldn’t be too bad.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about your grades dipping guys. I mean, think about how much we have accomplished in the past 4.5 months!! Sometimes I look back and I can’t even imagine how I did that, especially because the only mark of mine that has dropped is chemistry (and not by that much too, but all of that might change after my chem final tomorrow morning :p). How the **ck did I pull this off? hahaha I will never know</p>
<p>By the way, when are all of your finals?</p>
<p>haha mine starts on Thursday X.X.</p>
<p>My bio mark went down a good 10% since midterm, and it’s only because my teacher hated every single one of my projects. Wasted a hell lot of time on those too…sigh…I hope colleges are understanding x.x.</p>
<p>My exams start Wednesday. I have 8 exams this year lol. My average has dropped 1.5% since midterm. Here’s to hoping i can cut that down a tiny bit after exams! </p>
<p>@Fatum, that sucks! I really hate projects and ‘soft’, subjective assignments like that. Oh well, c’est la vie.</p>
<p>Don’t even want to see my bio final results.
Hopefully the my 2 exams later this week go well.</p>
<p>Anyhow, I feel a little silly because my interviewer sent ME a thank-you email first. Ooops!</p>
<p>aha viggy good luck to the both of us XD.</p>
<p>stars that’s really funny and weird lool…my interviewer basically told me to send him a email detailing the things i want him to include in his report…so yeah. hahaha</p>
<p>Ahh. I’m also in the waiting room. Working on Canadian university supp apps now.
EVERYTHING WILL BE OVER BY THE BEGINNING OF MARCH!
And I mean everything.
No more financial aid, no more applications, no more supplementary applications, no more follow-ups, no more asking for recommendations, no more essay-writing, no more interviews, no more freaking out. NO MORE. </p>
<p>=D anyone else beginning to feel the onset of senioritis?</p>
<p>^ oh yes! It will weird though … what will I do with this “free time” >.></p>
<p>I’ve been in senioritis-mode since the beginning of grade 11. It’s just going to get worse now.</p>
<p>Senioritis kicked in when apps started hahaha not good timing</p>
<p>Senoritis started a couple days ago for me when I finished finals. Im not even worried about my Canadian applications, for my essays for my major scholarship app to McGill even though they are due in about a week. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I am finally a normal Canadian student, applying to canadian schools. (Im still one of only 5 people in my school applying to schools outside my province though haha). </p>
<p>Do any of you guys feel as though you don’t even know who you are anymore? Like these past 5 months have taken so much out of me that I have pretty much become a machine. It is awful. I used to be one of the smart people who didn’t really care too much about grades and stuff, but now I am openly a stressed out person who has to get high marks. Oh well, that will change. And the more time I spend with my friends, or just not doing school work/apps/SAT, the more I am starting to feel like myself again. What a beautiful feeling! </p>
<p>I am actually feeling fairly hopeful about some of my apps…except for those god awful SAT II scores…gaaahhhhhhhh I hope they don’t completely ruin me.</p>
<p>whitneyy I think I know what you mean…
It’s like this semester passed by so fast that I don’t even remember it. Then when I think about all the exciting moments, they feel ancient. I don’t even know how I survived…events I’ve participated in feel like years ago…Even since the winter break when I started my apps, my old life was gone. >.< But it’s not too bad, we do what we gotta do.</p>
<p>How did you guys do on SAT IIs/SAT I from December? Scores are out. I got 790 Math II and 750 Chem. Kinda annoyed about being probably just 1 q. off an 800 Math II, but whatever.</p>
