Hehe... I remember that... I went through it all last year.

All I can say is good luck, and make sure you get those apps done early!

HAHA. Have fun with that! I was one of the people that didn't make a decision until like the last possible moment which means I stressed all year about it.

Heh... I know how you feel. It took until I went to "decision day" at the college I ended up choosing for me to decide... until then, I was split between the one I am going to and the one I chose not to go to.

DO YOUR APPS ASAP


i was so glad i did 2 years ago, i actually had them most of the way ready before senior year and it made my life so much easier. though it didnt change the fact that i was up till 2am the night before they had to go in the mail getting everything ready and double and tripple checking.

Also... for your own good, as much as possible (unless none of them accept it), use the Common App, and use the online version. That made my life oh, so very much easier!

Hehe... free stuff is fun.

My college hasn't given me any yet.

In fact, the one I didn't choose gave me some stuff... haha.

omg tennisrox014,
I'm applying to a bunch of the same schools as you!
I'm applying to Tulane and Johns Hopkins, and I haven't quite decided about Penn and Georgetown yet.
