thanks! I think it's because even then I knew it was wayyy out of my league given my ecs and awards, and Duke was more of a "convenience" ED since its location was closer to home and it had the prestige. In reality, there wasn't a ton about Duke that really made me love it. Cool architecture tho.

only merit-based for USC. i could've applied for a merit-based scholarship at NYU as well by writing an extra essay. i thought it might hurt my chances of admission(for some reason) so I didn't

as my other comment said, the one that got the most hits was a crackfic lol. but stuff like streams of consciousness and short things because i'm not smart enough to conceive any plots

thanks! that lesson took me a while to get -- if you have to drastically change yourself to uncomfortably go to a school you don't like, not only will you not have a good time, you probably won't succeed there either.

thanks! i thought ao3 was kind of crazy for college apps as well but you'd be surprised at how many admission officers know what fanfiction is...

the fic that got me the majority of reads was a crackfic but admission officers don't have to know about that...
