The moment is almost here...
I have my Common App and Yale supplement essays pretty much done. Both meet the word count limit (they're 650 and 500 words respectively, haha), which in and of itself is a pretty big accomplishment for me.Why do I always write so much?!
I plan to submit my SCEA app tomorrow night. Once I do that, I can work on my application to UT-PACT. I also need to organize the rest of my colleges into a specific order so that I know which supplements I should tackle first and which I should save for last.
I'm so ready to submit this Common App, though. I've struggled with that essay enough as it is (seriously, I started working on it in August. Technically in May, but I discarded that one and chose a different prompt), I really don't need to agonize over it any longer.
After all, I have a statement of motivation to write for PACT which I have no idea how I'll go about doing... And it's due December 15th.
Yay, college apps.
On another note, I've decided to use the Universal College Application for several of my schools because a) that app allows me to send my extracurricular essay (in its entirety!) to ALL those schools and b) there's no stupid word limit cutoff like there is on the Common App! Which means I can use my supplement essays in their entirety too! So I don't have to waste time trying to edit out parts that are "unnecessary" and diluting the effect of the essay overall.
I wish more of my schools were on the UCA.
Oh, speaking of UC- I need to submit my UC Berkeley app by the end of November too.
Grr, why so many deadlines?!
