By mail. I don't trust online lol. With mail I can make copies of everything I send in and then if there is a problem, I can simply mail it in again.

I think one of mine is online only. I don't really mind, too much paper confuses me.

Today, I got my transcript and next week I'll find out my class rank, I'm happy with the transcript, hopefully the rank is good. I have so much college stuff to do in so little time!

Oh God, me too!! I'm still waiting on 3 recommendations, I still have two tests to take and I have yet to get my essay and transcript together let alone the application itself. Oh and better yet...I still have to decide what college is my 1st choice and in order to decide that I need to visit and I STILL need to schedule a tour...

This is what I've done:

Asked for 4 recommendations
Received 1 recommendation
Visited and took part in a tour of one of my 2 choices of colleges
Recieved the application to both of the colleges I will apply to
Scheduled 1 test (ACT)

What I have let to do:

Receive 3 recommendations
Visit my other college choice
Take the ACTs
Schedule the SATs
Take the SATs
Write an essay
Collect my transcript
Apply for scholorships


AH! My "To Do" list outweighs my "Have Done" list!!!! G'ah!!!!

You're ahead of me I still need to:

-Ask for recommendations
-Choose around 3 more colleges to visit and apply for
-Take the SATs for a second time
-Write college essay
-Figure out how I'm even supposed to apply!

Heh, yeah I'm taking SATs for the second time and I haven't even looked at the applications!!

I'm only applying to two colleges. I simply CAN'T find anymore...I can't, I've tried and I can't, heh.

I don't have a long list of colleges, only one that I'm strong one and one that's just okay. But I've haven't visited many either. Some visits will be crammed in the next few weeks, I just want to have as many options as I can.

All my schools are equal right now.. they are all pretty well established for musical theater and dance, so right now it just depends on who accepts academically, then who accepts me talent-wise into the major, then who offers me the most money.

What I've done:
-learned/practiced required audition pieces
-started 3(out of 4) applications
-asked my acting teacher for a recommendation
-visited 1 college(I'm taking my other tours when I go to audition, since I have to go there anyway)
-Registered for my second go at the SATs

I have to:
-Ask for teacher recs.
-(possibly)Schedule the ACTs
-Finish applications
-Apply for more scholorships
-Apply for even more scholorships
-Pick a song go sing at my Baccalaureate ceremony
-Get a job to pay for senior week

It sounds like you guys are saying you have to mail your own transcripts? Is that right? At my school the guidance councilor handles all that stuff. Just wondering.

The guidance counselor mails my entire application, but you have to give them three weeks to get it ready, so that's some pressure.

You can send it yourself or have guidance do that. I'm sending everything in myself because I don't trust guidance, heh. They have made one too many mistakes. I have also heard horror stories of students not getting into college because their guidance messed up by not sending everything.

By sending it myself, I can make copies of everything I send in and I can keep track of things. I can keep calling to make sure everything is in. I wouldn't trust the rest of my life in the hands of guidance who is also juggling other applications. I'd rather do it myself, heh.

Good point. I don't know.. my guidance office is pretty good about it.. it helps that I'm on the good side of everyone in there - and one of them is my friend's mom so I'm in the loop with that stuff..

There is so much to think about

Same with our guidance, they all pretty much know my parents and my uncle is a teacher at my school so that helps too haha. (I have actually had him as a teacher twice and am going to have him again next semester for my Shakespeare class...talk about pressure!!! LOL)

I'm graduating in '07 too. My problem is, after being homeschooled all my life (yes, I KNOW I'm weird...) I don't have a guidance counselor to help me through all this college stuff, and it's really overwhelming.

I'm taking some Dual Credit college courses now to supplement my high school, but they're so time-consuming that I don't have time to look for scholarships (my two brothers are going to college at the same time as me, and my parents can't afford to even put ONE of us all the way through college...). So I need at least a 75% scholarship, and that isn't happening.

I want to study creative writing at a Christian college, but the only place I want to go costs $100,000 for 4 years... WAAAY out of my league there.

So, I'm actually considering scrapping the whole college thing, getting a job stocking books at Barnes and Noble or sorting mail at the Post Office (can you say "Utter boringness?"), and writing in whatever free time I have. After all, you don't have to have a college degree to get work published, right? What should I do??

Well, I'm not a senior, but I came to this thread to wish the best of luck to all of you into getting accepted to a college of your choice! ​

you make me feel sooo younggg.​

The counselors at our school won't tell us our rank. If you take all honor's classes, then you are in the top 5%, according to my counselor.

I do my applications online. Its fast easy, and alot simpler. Who has signed up for scholarships? I applied for the Presidential one, last spring and I find out next week, whether I get it or not. I will definitely let you all know. If I do get it then it means I get free tuition, books, meals, ect. The only downside is that you have to go to a university that is in your state. I have the option of going to NAU (Northern Arizona university), ASU (Arizona State U) or UofA (U of Arizona). All of this college is so annoying, yet exciting all at the same time!

It doesn't have to be a university, it can be a state college too. I know a girl who went and goes to Westfield State College and she won the Presidential Scholorship and it proved useful to her.

I am going to apply for that scholorship as well...I doubt I'd get it though. You need a 3.5 gpa just to apply and I have that, but I didn't get to 3.5 or over until this year...the other years I had a 3.4.

Did you know you can get scholorships for ridiculous things? These are actual scholorships:

Being Left handed
Dressing in duct tape for prom (You'd have to pay me to do something like that.)
Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the year (Are you kidding me!?)
Being short
Being tall
Being fat
People who don't do drugs
People who skateboard and have a gpa higher than 2.5
Tupperware dealers (wth!? Is that legal?)
People studying fungus and mold
Being able to call ducks (does, "here, ducky ducky" count?)
Be a golf caddie
Being able to make apple pie (Ironically enough, it's called, "The American Pie contest". Makes me wonder... )

Narnian_Princess, there is a J.D. Salinger scholorship for people interested in creative writing! Naturally my attention was drawn to it as Salinger is my favorite author, and I noticed what it was for. Dude, I want to do this just to stay in the same dorm!! heh.

The J.D. Salinger Award at Ursinus College is intended to recognize and support "oddball geniuses" in the field of creative writing. The unconventional award is named after the renowned author of The Catcher in the Rye, who attended Ursinus College in 1938. Besides a four-year scholarship of $25,000 per year, the winner will also get to live in the same dorm room previously occupied by Mr. Salinger. The competition is open to high school seniors. Candidates must be nominated by a high school teacher or guidance counselor for their "quirky brilliance". Recipients are selected on the basis of a portfolio of 10 to 15 pages of creative work in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction or hybrid genres. Although grades are not weighted as heavily, candidates should be able to achieve admission to Ursinus College (i.e., class rank in the top 25%, GPA of B or better, and SAT score of 1,210 or better). The deadline is November 1

You can really find scholorships in SOO many places, you just have to look, heh.

[MissPotatoHead]

LOL - I should take one from a long time ago, but then ppl would hate me. If I ever were to make a mistake, there are certain ppl that just point it out& embarass me. It's not like they ever had to let all of Teen Disney know that I made a mistake!! I'm not trying to be rude or ruin this thread...just had to say that-lol
