So I just found out...

that my stanford application is due tonight. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] How do you like my chances of finishing it by 3 am eastern? (all I have left to do is write a 5000 character essay, which is about 1 page single-spaced i think)

If you cannot handle submitting an application by a posted deadline, perhaps you should seriously reconsider applying to college in the first place. The world needs ditch diggers, too.

I'm gonna assume that you're all set with recommendations, because obviously you can't pull those off in time. otherwise, your chances are good. you have nothing to be stressing about. chill out and get to work.

you can probably finish it, but you may be overlooking the fact that your finished product will just be a 5000 character essay that you turned out in a few hours. there is a difference between this and an essay that you put a lot of thought into, that you proofread/revised numerous times, and that is clever enough to set you apart from the average applicant.



edit: i should probably note here that I was very lazy with many of my applications too though [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Very funny, LOL. Gotta get to work now...I'll check back w/ an update later. BTW, does everyone only read half of the first post and then ignore all replies, cuz I'm not stressing out at all.
