So, I’m done. DONE. FINIT. etc, etc.
A little less than two weeks ago I finished submitting my last college app – Yale. Talk about a euphoric experience, man. I am DONE with high school.
Oh and I got into the small private college on the East Coast that I applied too! Totally exciting!
You won’t believe the number of things I have planned for second semester. Oh, it’s going to be great. Abso-bloody-lutely fantastic.
I sent in my MIT early application! It was a very euphoric experience. My fingers are crossed, but results don’t come out until…a while from now. Meanwhile, I’ve got many more colleges to apply to, several of which have applications which are more heinous than the MIT one. Oh dear.
On a different note, I’ve got two essays, a worksheet, a math problem set, and chapter notes to do, so I will be extremely busy for the next few hours. Clearly I’ve practiced procrastination to the max these past few days. Senior year wasn’t supposed to be like this! :)
Early applications are due tomorrow at midnight. Right now I’m working on finalizing everything. My fingers are crossed – hopefully they’ll give my application some consideration because (in my opinion) the interview last week went rather well. I’ll keep the reader(s) of this blog updated on the status of that :)
Many high schools, mine included, discourage the early admission process. Why? The stress will cause a student to underperform in class, they say. The chances of being accepted are too low – not worth the effort it takes to complete a college application at least a full month before all other college deadlines. I guess my high school counselor and I will just have to agree to disagree on this one. IMO early application process are fantastic ways to stay on top of things and reduce plenty of stress, because if a person is accepted, he or she can properly enjoy the rest of senior year without dreaming about stacks upon stacks of rejection letters. Also, college essays can be reused later, because there’s really no need to write eight different versions of “elaborate on one extracurricular activity” for each college. So, certain people *cough* Chrys *cough* should really consider just submitting the darned common app in early, especially if they’re DONE ALREADY, and see what happens.
Best of luck <3
