It's all about writing
(2011-11-27 17:52:24)
The boarding school
application process is teemed with writing, writing and more
writing. Each school has several short answer questions and one or
two essay questions. They are all in one way or another very
similar to each other, thus decreases the total time I need to put
into answering these questions: I could finish writing the essays
to some schools, and paste the answers to the similar questions in
other schools. With some minor changes and adjustments, they would
be just fine.
The parents questionnaire and
teacher recommendation is what worry me most. I have my extra and
English recommendation finished by my foreign teachers, but the
school report and math recommendation need to be finished by
myself. For some schools like Andover and Choate, they receive
Chinese answers as well, so I don't have to worry too much about
that.I am still thinking about how I am going to approach my math
teacher and ask for recommendation, it would be really hard. The
school report and counselor recommendation as well: none of my
"counselors" can possibly finish the recommendation in English.
There is a bunch of work to do on that.
I should finish the school
report next week, and my math recommendation as well. The essays
are about to finish, the parents questionnaire could wait for a
while. My interviews are all done, and I am going to drop the
application for Exeter: people say that it is a school for nerds,
and I feel like they never reply my emails. Too bad I have wasted
my score sending chance on it. So now I have only five schools to
concern about; there should be much less work that way. My thought
is to finish the application before the end of this year, since I
have finals to prepare for.
Good thing is that I haven't
screwed my midterms because of the SAT or the application; I even
showed some progress comparing with last semester's midterms (I
didn't take the finals because of summer school). I ranged 19 out
of five hundred students who chose science. It wasn't too bad, but
there's definitely much space for me to improve.
School isn't a big problem
right now; I just need to finish my application as soon as
possible.
Alright, stop here.
