Ok so I'm going to be a senior this year XD GO CLASS OF 2008!!

But anyways, I want to get going on College Applications ASAP....probably get the UC applications all done first x_x but anyways I don't think they're out yet....filling out applications, but if they are....x_x I need help!

Besides that, is anyone worried? x_x I feel dead worried....I have a 3.7 accumulative without Junior year....but uh...I think my gpa for my Junior year will bring it down greatly x_x (3.5............................................) And my ACT and SAT scores aren't that great....I dead suck in taking multiple choice tests (gonna take them again T_T)

XD That and I'm curious, where are other people applying?

[yongwonhi]

I don't think supplements for colleges will be out for a while, but you can start your common application?

Yay go class of 2008!

Yeah, I'm super worried too. T_T I'm no satisfied with my standardized test scores (and I hang out with super smart friends, which doesn't make it any better), and my GPA is decent (I think. I kind of died junior year ahahah) but I'm still nervous. Already. And it's only July.

I'm applying to like... UCs and some random private schools... x__x

[Kikyo]

I'm so worried! I wish the apps could come out so I can start. Haha.. but then.. I'm so clueless as to where I want to apply.
I had this whole list mapped out in my head but then my bf gave me some advices that I didn't consider .. so now I'm back to square one.
I am for sure applying to UCSD, Pomona, Claremont McKenna.. and University of Hawaii (Because I live here -__-)
The rest.. I'm not sure. ><

My GPA is average I guess.. 3.8 cumulative.. But then I'm unsatisfied with my SAT scores..
One more time in October! Hehe.
Blah.. bring on the stress !

[piQ]

I have a 3.7(High A-) weighted and like a 3.2 unweighted(B+) making my class rank 135/305 which is horrible (school is too competitive for me). but i got a 2370 on my SAT I's, 740 on SAT II History and 800 Math IC/IIC

my gpa SUCKS lol...

i plan to apply to University of Illinois, Indiana, Boston College (yeah right..), and Boston University

Most private universities and colleges require 3 SATII's...so I would THINK three but I have no clue.


Since I grew up in California my whole life, I'm itching to go to the east coast for a change specifically New York. Other than that, UC's for sure!

Personally I'm more worried about the personal statements and the extracurriculars than the test scores. A bunch of other people will have the similar scores as you, but its the extra stuff that makes you stand out. I mean compared to my other friends who've been doing a whole bunch of stuff since they could walk...my list looks kind of shabby. I absolutely hate sports and create dreadful music so I've tried to replace it by doing a lot of community service and leadership stuff...but its just not quite the same is it?

Eek..and I thought junior year was bad..

Took the words out of my mouth.
I can definitely relate. I'm from California as well-- wanting to go to New York, however I'm not sure if that's the distance I'm willing to take. My parents are somewhat hesitant with the plan because they'd like me to stay closer.
So, if anything, I'll go to a good UC and then attend a graduate school in NY.
And my junior year kind of sucked. I'd been holding up straight As first two years of high school, and that fell down the drain after trying to juggle four AP classes, community service, piano, etc.
I'm afraid that I'm trying to be too well-rounded that I blend in with everyone.
My scores are not too great compared to some of the geniuses I find lurking Soompi, but I'm stressed about the essays since those can make or break your entrance. Well, according to what I've heard.

Yay Class of `08. Oh man, look at the competition. You guys have crazy SATs. xDD. I`m taking them again in October. Joy. I`m scared on college apps too. Don`t know where to start. I want UCLA but it`s scary stuff O__O;;

[stoner beans]

YES: GO CLASS OF 2008 BABY.

i already took 2 sat IIs just in case but i totally bombed one of them.
my sats were horrible too.
but i started visiting schools and stuff..

AND HOLYYYYY. you ppl have so high SAT scores :< i guess im not getting into anywhere ):

[hpnotiq]

^ SAT scores aren't everything you know..
My SAT scores suck compared to the other people that posted on this thread so don't feel too bad.

Anyways I have no idea where to start. There's so many things you have to get done esp if you're planning on early action & early decision (cus that's what I'm doing.. hoping to get accepted by a school by Dec).

About early action..
Its okay to do more than one right? Cus early decision is the binding one...
