OP- I am out of idioms. You need to complete the Questbridge application, and you need to persuade your teachers to stay up late tonight to finish their recommendations, and then you need to thank them with all your heart for helping you achieve a college education (teachers never get thanked- this will mean a lot).
You may have decided that you’ve got a better plan but until you apply to Questbridge- you don’t have a better plan. You’ve just got a bunch of excuses as to why you are too busy and your teachers are too stressed to get your application in on time. This is not a plan.
Madison- how am I doing?
