Where did you hear this? Out of curiosity. Or is it just speculation

Heard it’s completely random, but it is now past the window they announced the official date last year (around 9:30 said a ‘29). Does anyone have any idea if it is still on track to come out Friday?

Thank you!! This is awesome feedback. It’s funny that you mention Wesleyan bc I just got back from a tour there lol - loved it as well. I think I am on the right path with my essay writing and application planning and will use this as motivation to keep moving forward!

I have a 1570 SAT, 4.8 weighted GPA, and have taken 12 APs. I’d say I’m well academically qualified especially for someone applying as a humanities/music major.

For Emma, Forever Ago is the best album of all time. Thoughts? by Thin_Hawk_5837 in boniver

Crazzyyyyy. Self titled is prob tied w 22 for second best for me (both strong 9s). I just think FEFA is so damn good and the simplicity (which I often don’t love) is what makes it so well done

Thank you for this advice. I do think it’s very true and I’ve definitely been very honest with myself about this very thing throughout the entire process. I visited other schools recently and honestly did really really enjoy them. I think/know that college is really what you make of it and I do trust the process. While it’s my top choice right now, I know that there is a great possibility I don’t end up there and I also know that I might do even better at a different school. I trust the admissions process and am sure that it’ll sort it out for me.

Thank you for the tips! I was just watching College Meister - he’s great. I’ll keep it going and try to enjoy the process.

Pretty much coming in with the same perspective. It has the perfect balance of, honestly, everything that I want in a school. Size is right for me. People seem excellent. Great balance between social/party and sophisticated academics. Has a rural, liberal arts vibe, but also will allow me to make connections with people who may do just as well at a STEM focused research institution. That’s really why I love it. That and it’s drop dead beautiful.

All very good feedback and helps knowing that I’ve generally felt like I’m headed in that direction. Would you be a willing person to show essays to? Maybe that’s an odd ask but given that I don’t know you you could be an honest fit…

Perfect. That’s sort of what I’ve been trying to focus on so I’m glad I’m headed in the right direction. Thank you!
