dont worry about the SAT. you can retake it. and colleges dont only look at that score to decide whether they'll accept you or not, like the guy said today. i'm guessing your mom wants a perfect score or VERY close to it?
i aggree that u of c is fucking awesome. i just HAVE to get it. i'd sell a gallon of my own blood to garantee my acceptence...
i wouldnt waste 2 grand if i hated medicine. however, if you do decide to go, try to get the early U of C session. it'd be fucking cool if we'd be together a bit for the thing.
i'm jealous of you guys for having fun... damn my mom for imprisoning me in my own home. lets do sumthing after SATs saturday?

ah, tnx for the comforting words. but yes, it has to be perfect =o/

indeed. esp w/ a full scholarship.. but ha, highly doubt i'm extraordinary enough

u'r in it too? yay!!! yea. my issue is that my mom's willing to pay that kind of money for something i don't want to do, but not for anything i truly enjoy [say, actually SEEING my dad for two weeks out of a year]

i'm totally up for something after the SATs.
yea... but now i have to figure out what to do w/ my hair and such, so hey, u get to be lazy...

i think u are very capable of getting a perfect score... too bad theres a lot of luck involved- bad luck that is, to fuck up on simple questions. that might screw you over. if ya do get sub-perfect scores (they'll prolly be extremely high anyway), ignore your mom. i just hope YOU wont be dissappointed in yourself.
my mother dearest assured me that she doesnt mind getting loans if i get into them good expensive schools.. like U of C. cuz yea, me getting a scholarship is impossible. and i'm sure i'll be able to pay it off some time after i start working. but u, psh, u at least have a chance for some scholarship
*being lazy*
name something to do saturday and with who

[nsayniz]

awww.. tnx. i hope it works out, i really do, cuz god.. there's so many ppl who wud laugh at a bad score. worst of all, myself...

erm. idk. i technically have to be doing art that day...

UofC, apparently, has the highest suicide rate next to MIT. Sometimes the partying does one good, apparently? (I, of course, dislike Chicago for different reasons that should not bias anyone else.)

As for the SAT...I do know people who rock every section (like, perfectly) and write a cruddy essay (me being the opposite). The essay is like what I did for speech every week. Thus, my suggestion for prep: Have someone give you a topic--any topic--and write down as many supports as you know in two minutes. You'll get faster and your mind will get more connections the more you do this. (By my third year in speech, I could hammer out a speech on any topic in about a minute.)

=o/ oh yes, i've heard about that... maybe the emos are simply more hardcore at U of C?

hmm. tnx, that's a pretty good idea. doubt it will work wonders by this saturday, but i will try.
