Our schools cap and gown are green, like a forest green

[Illicit]

We're supposed to have a late start tomorrow, but instead - seniors are to attend a mandatory meeting where they will try to sell us overpriced junk (class ring, t-shirts, invitation stuff). We really only need the cap and gown.. Oh well.

They might be red/yellow *or* cardinal and gold as they call it xD;

[maydai3333]

i need to seriously hit the jackpot to pay for everything this year. The cap and gown alone is around $60, and for some overpriced pieces of paper that they call invitations, the package is around $200.

[intoxicated.soul]

Our cap and gown is $30 and for Senior clothes and such, it's around $80 bucks total for like the pack. The class ring is $200-$400 x_x I didn't get one.

So did anyone get their ELC letter from a UC yet?

[Illicit]

Cap, Gown & Tassel Unit was $24. The full senior package was $251, filled with overpriced items but eh - to each his/her own. o.o;

If our letter said that '[I] am well on [my] way to becoming eligible for the University through the more traditional statewide eligibility pathway', I guess I'm not ELC.

I'm in top 4%, but the way they calculate it - I guess I'm not. So is it only ELC people that gets guaranteed admission to one UC? Or do statewide eligibility get it too? >.<

[Uh O Dianuh]

^ OMG, what's wrong with my school! Our class rings are around $200.

Our gown will be black, I wish it was baby blue! Our school color is black, blue, and white.

What color gowns will you guys be wearing?

Oh man, this is exactly like my school. Our class rings range from $200-$500. Which I regret buying last year. And our gowns will be all black but I believe according to our study major we get different color stoles.
Class Ring : $200 - $500
Senior Dues (Luncheon, senior activities, etc.) - Rougly $200
Senior Sweats - $25 - $50
To think that Christmas is just around the corner.... -__-

i got my ELC letters a couple weeks ago from Irvine, Davis, Riverside, and Santa Barbara.
sadly, i didn't want any of those schools but i guess i have a fallback now. haha.

I couldn't help but buy the senior hoodie, even if it was simple. Should we model our hoodies and sweats? lol

We had our senior night yesterday. Someone threw a stickbomb at the prep rally after all the lights were off (we had glow sticks for light), everyone started coughing. I thought I was going to die.
I heard that our school had to wait for four years do have that "Glow sticks/Lights out," because apparently people threw condoms filled with water or pee from above the stands.

And our gowns will be all black but I believe according to our study major we get different color stoles.

That's pretty cool! What will be your major? What about for the undecided people? We were suppose to wear red stoles for the people who gave blood, but our school doesn't allow it for some reason.

Money is coming out of my ma's pockets like crazy. I need to have a job by March to pay for everything afterward and prom is only left.

So far she has paid for my class ring which is two hundred something. The principal planned a senior trip for us in December and we were supposed to make a $50 deposit two weeks ago. Nobody has paid yet because they have not kept tabs on this. This month caps, gowns, and everything that comes along with that has to be paid this month and senior ads have to be paid on the 14th.

I am pretty sure there is more we have to pay for but its unknown for now. What a year.

[~S.O.S~]

Senior year is all about the $$$!
Let's see:
apps: $400
cap and gown: $55
transcripts/scores: $100
club dues: $130
photos: $400

ahh, this is ridiculous!
Second semester come faster!

I'll model my senior sweats when it comes in.

I honestly don't know what color each major will get. But I'm in the business major at our school and I think last year they had green. It's a pretty cool program though. There's business, EMT, pre-vet, nursing, etc.

Congrats maydai3333 on your acceptance!

[random azn]

LOL! D! haha. Yes you model our senior sweats. =] I can't wait till they get here!

[superstar`kiss]

Apparently I read an email that I got last week from one of my top schools wrong. I thought it just sent me my login info. and today I read it again and I got accepted!! I'm such a loser. >.< I don't know how I could've missed it. And the letter finally came in the mail today too. haha. Can't wait to tell my mom.

I actually get first dibs at seeing my school's Senior sweatshirts designs and approving of it or not. I'm c/o 2010 sec. It looked quite girly so we told the guy to change the font. lmfao. The design isn't so bad itself. Seniors are spelled "SEN10RS". (with the 10 replacing 'io' if you've missed it there. ). The zero is played by a dream catcher and inside is a Warrior which is our mascot. There are bow & arrows somewhere in the design, I forget. Can't wait to start selling them, it's super chilly nowadays.

So did anyone get their ELC letter from a UC yet?

I got my guaranteed letters to basically all the UC's except the top three UC's - Berkeley, LA, and San Diego. I don't think they participate in the ELC do they?

Has anyone turned in their UC apps yet? I just submitted mine yesterday. Hopefully my personal statements would be good enough cause I didn't really have it checked. Just grammar check from my AP English teacher and I had my counselor look over it once. >_<

Oh, and is anyone planning to apply to any out of state colleges? I've been looking at some, but I don't even know if I'd be able to handle going away so far from home.

Oh wow! You're done with UC apps already? Congrats on pressing send. I think that's going to be hardest for me.

I'm still working on my personal statement. Gotta finish polishing up my first prompt and draft up my second.

Congrats on ELC too. I got it too! Davis is a good safety. My friend goes to Davis and she likes it there.

[azn099]

lol wow i'm so behind. i still haven't started my college apps at all. i haven't even looked at the essay prompts yet >_>

Yeah, I started on it awhile ago. Sucks though cause I didn't have much to tell. I worked on personal statements ever since summer for my AP English class so I basically just had to fill out infos. My cousin graduated from Davis and she liked it as well. Davis was the only guaranteed UC I applied to since Davis has always been my back up. If I don't get into Berkeley, LA, SD, or the other private colleges I'm applying to, then I'll be going to Davis.

Do you think not have community service hours would hurt my chances of getting in to the top universities? In total, I have less than 100 hours. >_<
