An Amendment to Applying to College as a Kind-Of Homeschooler

Step bajillion: Get your Spanish professor to write you a letter of recommendation, because a letter from your Political Philosophy teacher, a letter of recommendation from your mentor/discussion group co-founder, test scores, a two-page narrative transcript, an explanation of school switch, an exhaustive list of activities, a brief explanation of one of those activities, full familial educational history, Hamline transcript, Central transcript, letter of recommendation from your own mother (hi guidance counselor!) , a resume, more test scores, a "school philosophy" explanation, Common App essay, and supplemental essay are JUST NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE A DECISION.

I'm just getting a little tired of this. Getting into any of these colleges will be worth it-- they're great schools, ones I'm excited about-- but damn, you gotta work!
