^ YAY FINALLY LOL.
Notre Dame doesn't give merit scholarships either, or else I'd consider applying.
Yeah, I think it'll be hard to get a merit scholarship because there are so many of those smart people. But I'm hoping at least one of the four or so good private colleges I'm applying to will give me one.
And yeah. Nicole got into University of Notre Dame as well but decided to go to ASU because it would be easier for her to double major. You can double major at a lot of places, but sometimes it's not a good idea to (eg I dunno if any sane people would want to double major in biochem and eecs at MIT and still manage to graduate with a 4.0 gpa in 4 years lolol)
Collegeconfidential intimidates me because there are so many smart people. Whenever I go to the HYPSM results threads and see the stats of the people who were rejected/deferred/accepted, my ego deflates. u___u
Yeah Nicole probably got a free ride since she was a NMSF. Eric said that she was going there because she plans to dual major.
My dad wants me to go to Harvard. He said that he'll try to pay off all of my bills, even if I don't get any financial aid at Harvard. Any other schools... I have to pay myself though lol. I'm probably just going to apply to several schools with good merit scholarships or schools that offer free rides to NMSFs (I'll have to study for the psat ew)
If you need to research stuff about financial aid/scholarships collegeconfidential is really helpful. There is a forum for scholarships and I was surfing one day and found a whole post with a list of several universities that offer scholarships.
Yeah, I don't think I'll apply to any that don't give any merit scholarships...
I think I'll apply to Rice. I know about their scholarships, I've even been to their campus as well.
Dunno if I'll apply to ASU. It's kinda big *I've been to that one as well* Nicole's going there though, I think, she probably got a good scholarship or even a free ride.
Oh right. Yeah, that really sucks. It's all need based. I might have that problem later on too... o____o
You should apply to Rice. Not sure if you're already planning to, but I've heard they offer nice merit scholarships, and by applying to Rice you're already considered for a scholarship.
Also ASU's Honors program is decent and gives free rides to NMSFs.
I've watched other vampire series (I disliked Karin though) and I think Vampire Knight is the best. I wouldn't replace it with any other series. And YES LOL. Well, Zero sparkles, but not lamely like Edward. /shot'd
That's awesome! Fanfics are fun to write. xP And asdfklasdfk; that would be amazing. x3 I'd also want it to be a kdrama but in a way, no because it would be really bad. o3o
Inorite? I've watched Hana Yori Dango (Japanese drama and anime), Boys over Flowers (korean) and Meteor Garden (Taiwanese)... and I got so bored omg.
Yeah LOL. Stanford's app supplement is awesome. You get to put your favorite websites/news sites/books/movies/etc and you get to write a letter to your future roommate. xP
personally I love the Vampire Knight series in general. Comparing it to any other vampire series/movies/books/manga out there, I would say it's one of the best..and the best part is the vampires DO NOT sparkle.
I can't say I'm a fan of either a Yuki or Kaname, or Zero and Yuki pairing...being a writer, I could make it work either way. However, I've stepped away from writing fanfics and focusing on my own writing..and hopefully (one day) I can post some of my artwork on here..if I can figure out how I did it in the first place x.x
As for the Vampire Knight series in general..I would hope that there could be more to come, or perhaps a movie of sorts..hopefully something that can add to the story, instead of repeating it..I do so hate movies that have repeated something I've already seen x.x
Love the wallpaper ^.^
That is the Beauty of the common app. You can send the same essays to every college you apply to LOL. Why am I not applying to Columbia or UPenn? The supplement essays are lame. Stanford has loads of supplement questions but at least they're fun to answer lol. There is a section where I can drone on about how amazing OHSHC is.
TBH I'm kinda excited for apps xP by then I'll probably have a decent SAT score to put on my app hah. I'm applying to MiTES and TASP this year and so I already have to write a load of essays
LOL too bad our school doesn't let us graduate early. And lol yeah I have enough math credits too. I didn't even take algebra 1. Oh well, I only have one more year to suffer plus college apps heh.
ROFL no offense taken. There is a reason we got a 4 at state (best is a 1, worst is a 5), and it's not because the judges don't have ears lololol.
Have you gotten all of your PE credits? (omg I finally got mine over with) And LOL you probably have to, because we have to take a certain number of electives before we graduate. My cousin didn't even take all of the APs offered to his class and still went to Stanford. *shakes fist*
Online physics would be awful. I'd probably get an F... partially why I'm not taking online AP chem lol. I want to take anatomy honors, but I doubt it will fit into my schedule because of Spanish. i have to take 4 years of Spanish before I graduate so that I'll be eligible to apply for Harvard. -___- /shakes fist at Asian parents and their expectations
Lol what do you want to be?
(omg I have an exam tomorrow I haven't even studied for. What has TheO done to me? D: )
I'm still taking one non-honors/AP elective this year though. Cuz I want to *take that stupid colleges*
Well I'm taking physics (not AP at our school but I wanted it in-class, online physics would be hell) and hopefully anatomy honors if I can fit in because it's honors and in-class. Even though I don't even want to be a doctor or anything lol.
LOL there are a lot of people in band who aren't that good at their instruments. xD
And yeah, since it's a normal class it would bring down your GPA. :( I have to stay in it though, since it's like, the only EC I have going for me and I need it to get into all-state lololol. I wonder if I can talk Mrs. Chavez into somehow making it an "audit" class... o___O
DOOD if you do you should take comp sci. I'm taking the AP exam next year and need some help desperately. /brick'd x__o
Haha oh gosh I wasn't that good. Couldn't get all the notes out right. Though I did play for four years.
Couldn't be in band if I wanted. Too much stuff going on already and sadly, as you've pointed out, it's a normal class not honors. My plate's full already anyway. Might be taking two sciences *shot for nerdiness*
Haha I actually think I know most of the lyrics to the VK cut of Still Doll! I adore that song, was going to learn it on the flute but aforementioned friend never changed it from a piano song to a flute song or whatever (i have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to music). Though I don't have a good voice xD I never sing and it's been even more off ever since I had the beginnings of bronchitis last winter *shot for making an excuse for not being able to sing since like seventh grade when she stopped singing*
Yeah, like WTH they are singing some random Japanese shizz and we'd be like EFF YES.
Really? That would be awesome. We could do Still Doll or something. I /might/ be able to relearn that on piano (I played it like two years ago but forgot it) and I can sing it as long as I memorize the lyrics. All I know atm is "HI MISS ALICE, ANATA...... "
rofl.
But that would be awesome. Everyone would be like wth are they saying up there, but yeah. YAY FOR VAMPIRE KNIGHT AND KANON WAKESHIMA. XD WE SHOULD TOTALLY DO IT.
fufufufu fine. I'll just run away with my kpop idols. no sticky paws. /runs away
