[golden hare]

Didn't stanford kill the tree or something lmao

[ember oriole]

stanford hates fun

they killed the tree

[mellow sentinel]

[ember oriole]

they really do

[sacred lion]

sorry if this has already been answered. does anyone have any info on a deadline for the stanford interview?

i heard 2/27 floating around but correct me if im wrong lol

[ornate bone]

i think its alr ended

they said till mid feb

[ember oriole]

[mellow sentinel]

Ngl I don't like the mascot

[fair aspen]

Ong someone should replace all tree mascots on stanford with the weed leaf

[sick mesa]

i have my interview on the 24th

[ornate bone]

WAHHHHH I JUST GOT MY STANFORD INTERVIEW LETSGOOOO

[ornate bone]

never mind 💀

[heavy tapir]

LETS GO FIREEEEE

[ember oriole]

fuego

[ornate bone]

Estrella

[ornate bone]

Now I just need to not fuck it up!!!

[fair aspen]

THAT's GREAT!!!

[ornate bone]

I know it’s based on availability and randomness but yayyy

[terse notch]

WHATTTT

THATS GREAT

i thought interviews ended lol 😭

[fair aspen]

ong same

[ornate bone]

I did too 😭 they emailed me at 1am lmao

[spice plover]

I got an interview invitation but my interviewer lives on the other side of the world and has no affiliation to the country I’m living in

[rain dagger]

Same but with Penn interview

[hybrid beacon]

so you had no availability but they arranged one....
interesting

[wind ridge]

lmfao don't infer it as that

even i had an interviewer from the other side of the world for penn

but i got my interview legit 2 days after applying

doesn't mean anything

[hybrid beacon]

huh

also interesting

that begs the question...

WhErE IS mY InTErviEw ffs

[serene night]

stanford interview rly doesn't matter very much so you'll be fine even if you don't get one

[sonic silo]

^^ afaik it’s quite common this year bc more applicants and reduced capacity, a fair few uk people got interviewers from canada for instance

[rain dagger]

Do you have this on your portal? "Please note that your high school is not in a Stanford admission interview location. Your application will be considered complete without an interview since the interview is an optional part of our process."

[sonic silo]

Nope!

The UK in general I think is almost fully covered in terms of alum availability

So I'm guessing I got a Canadian interviewer just because of capacity, which also kinda reflects what my alum said in the initial email

[grave rampart]

can you send an ss of this?

[grave rampart]

this is it for me

[rain dagger]

Where do you live

Because ik that if there are any alumni where I live they're probably not allowed to volunteer for interviews or don't want to

[grave rampart]

all the way at india

[hybrid beacon]

fellow indian with no interview

[rain dagger]

Oh so you're in an interview location I hope you get one soon

[grave rampart]

honestly, i dont want an interview

best it can do is slightly boost my app and worst it can do is entirely botch it

if i get an option to ill go for it doe

[rain dagger]

Lol same because it doesn't really matter
But I want one for harvard or MIT

[fringe notch]

where dyou live?

i have this on my portal too

[rain dagger]

Iran. U?

[fringe notch]

pakistan

[rain dagger]

Yooo we're neighbors

[fringe notch]

ooo yea

the thought didn't cross my mind initially

[rain dagger]

Lol

[fringe notch]

https://admission.stanford.edu/apply/first-year/interview.html

iran isn't listed under their interview locations

they don't offer interviews in bangladesh either

interesting

[rain dagger]

Yeah I mean the government would probably arrest the interviewers so I'm not surprising

[fringe notch]

neither sri lanka nor nepal

yo they hate this region

india lucked out

[fringe notch]

interviews are virtual though?

[rain dagger]

Stanford has the BEST Iranian studies program EVER

[rain dagger]

Yes that'd be fine but the alumni interviewer shouldn't be in the country. If they're in the US or another country then it's fine.

[rain dagger]

Well they have so many applicants from India and so many alumni too. It kinda makes sense

[fringe notch]

i'd wager most iranian alumni reside in the US and not iran

[fringe notch]

yeah but then again they offer interviews in places like ghana and kenya too

[rain dagger]

Yes definitely.

[rain dagger]

Yeah ig it's just alumni availability then.

[subtle forge]

does it mean anything if someone in my school got a stanford interview but i haven’t

[heavy tapir]

No

[terse notch]

does it mean anything if someone in my school already got into stanford

[crystal fox]

lol

[ornate bone]

does it mean anything if Stanford already sent me my rejection letter

[sonic silo]

nah ur good

[subtle forge]

😔

[ornate bone]

Does Stanford say when they need interview results by? Like when should I follow up w my interviewer it’s been 2 days since he emailed 😭

[dim wagon]

uhm

@fringe notch hi williams simp. … the stanford fao upload is crashing every time i try to submit lol do u think its bcs deadline has passed or just an internet/website issue

[fringe notch]

website issue

their website is very buggy

[dim wagon]

💀

😭

[fringe notch]

did you get a confirmation email

[dim wagon]

no it said “error”

[fringe notch]

one of the best CS schools out there but they can't fix their goddamn websife 💅

[dim wagon]

so real wtf

[fringe notch]

i submitted my international student CSS supplement and got an error

but i also got a confirmation email

so i didn't submit it again

[dim wagon]

we might be siblings

[fringe notch]

you have a vpn?

[dim wagon]

/j. unless

[fringe notch]

try w a vpn?

[dim wagon]

ummmmmm i shall

ill email them first

this is toooo much

[fringe notch]

or try on a different device

[dim wagon]

did u apply pton

[fringe notch]

alrightyy

yes

seems like we applied to the same schools

[dim wagon]

💀 real…

this pfaa shit ugly af

[fringe notch]

yes but

Penn financial aid supplement

was atrocious

the abolsute worst

fyi Princeton has a Princeton specific ncp waiver form

if you don't know this already

and they ask for two separate third party statements 💀

[dim wagon]

I KNOWWWW

idk where tf im getting the second

my school is so incredibly unhelpful in this regard

[fringe notch]

umm i think you should email princeton about it

if you absolutely can't get a second statement

[dim wagon]

i’ll figure it out

[fringe notch]

good luckkk 🙏

[dim wagon]

thank u!!

[terse notch]

genuinely asking 😭

[heavy tapir]

No

[terse notch]

alright cool thanks

[heavy tapir]

👍👍

[fervent perch]

what specifically in the supplement?

[fringe notch]

uhm myspace UI, currency conversions, hyperspecific questions, not exactly knowing the precise answers to said hyperspecific questions which resulted in minor disparities between my family's income and expenses, the requirement to write a paragraph explaining said disparities (for $10? seriously?) so i needed to play around with and tweak some numbers

they should call it the balance of payments and not the financial aid supplement

[ornate bone]

Stanford interview done

tbh probably my worst one yet

He asked difficult questions

[narrow yacht]

like?

what is the integral of cos(2x-4)?

[ornate bone]

that’s just sin(2x-4) + C

• 1/2

my hands are numb

[narrow yacht]

You are doomed

[ornate bone]

😭

I said * 1/2

[ember oriole]

did they really

[ornate bone]

On next line

They did not

They asked questions I wasn’t expecting but probably should have

like if u had 10M dollars what would u do

Where do u see urself in 5/10 years

If u could go the future

What is one thing u would see and do

[ember oriole]

sounds more like uc hicago ngl

[fervent perch]

Damn I still have to complete it. Thanks for the heads up haha

[heavy tapir]

I wish i had questions like those lol

My interviewer literally didnt know what to ask

But i think i did good bc she said i seemed like a smart dude and i would do good no matter what, but then again thats what every interviewer ive had has said lmao

[ornate bone]

🥲

[narrow yacht]

every other college rejection letter sounds exactly like this

Hey I know you are super cool but gotta have to pass ya. This time the pool was more harder so kinda sucks for you but good like to your college future though

[ornate bone]

Wtv not gonna worry abt it because Stanford wasn’t gonan tske me anyways !!!!

no tengo entrepreneurship

and someone from my school alr got in ahahhahahah

I will go sleep soon

Maybe bake cookies

or make hot chocolate

[tranquil monolith]

Guys I am scheduling my interview rn... what should I expect? it's my first interview n m barely alive lol

[heavy tapir]

Bros saying im getting rejected from everywhere

[narrow yacht]

Yes kinda seems like it tbh💀

[hybrid shadow]

a natural convo, like talking to a friend

[heavy tapir]

Bruh having decent interviews means nothing for ur applications 😭😭

a2c is a wild place

[narrow yacht]

and I didn't even get a single one 💀

[twilit bear]

mate you wot

[fair aspen]

Rich as fuck

[twilit bear]

what

decides how much ranking a uni gets

[spice plover]

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/how-us-news-calculated-the-rankings

[dapper urchin]

@ornate bone r u a jealous jealous jealous girl

[hybrid beacon]

why are they still need aware

[heavy tapir]

So many schools are need aware for intl lol

[grave rampart]

Intl students are cash cows

[heavy tapir]

Ye

[grave rampart]

Something's gotta pay for the domestic aid

[heavy tapir]

They get the nepo baby money

[mellow sentinel]

They aren't other than internationals

Which makes sense

[ornate bone]

Yes

Very jealous

Of people who didn’t totally screw up their Stanford imterview!

[dapper urchin]

LMAO

don’t be be aggressive

[ornate bone]

🫡

you don’t get it

You just don’t get it

[dapper urchin]

you’ve already forgotten even though i just said it

[ornate bone]

Came tonight to put my work on display

Bringing New York down to saint tropez

[terse notch]

how did u screw it up

[ornate bone]

Just was not prepared and didn’t give very good answers

[terse notch]

what did ur interviewer ask

[ornate bone]

Ten million dollars, going into the future, biggest risk, biggest conflict (not challenge), and some others I can’t rmemeber

Like I should’ve expected ig but

idk

there was also where do u see urself in 5 years vs 10

uhh

Then the usual why cs / why Stanford

it seemed very like

On his agenda

like for my yale and Princeton it was more of a convo

they didn’t seem to have a strict set of questions

And we kind of just hopped around depending on my responses

[terse notch]

yeah

[ornate bone]

For Stanford there were barely any like follow up questions

Just answer and then move on to the next question

I think he only smiled like

5 times in the whole thing

[terse notch]

i would've been so uncomfortable

lol

[ornate bone]

😭

He also didn’t know what wordle was

[terse notch]

i need an interview to be a convo

[ornate bone]

but my 70 year old Princeton interviewer did

[terse notch]

bruh

[sonic silo]

my stanford interviewer was really chill (he was canadian)

we had a super casual conversation - started with talking about my name, which led to a discussion about linguistics, NLP, and xkcd, and then it was just random stuff like chatting about the dorms and stanford marching bands, and some of the resources at the university that i'd be able to make the most of

there was a fair amount where i just got to ask him stuff and we talked about his time at stanford 🙏

and throughout the convo i folded in my reasons for applying, ECs, and background which was good

[crimson sage]

honestly wish my interview had more bearing on my admissions

[ornate bone]

my stanford interview did not go well so i hope not ❤️

[heavy tapir]

Same fire 😔

My harvard interview was super good tho

But my harvard essay was trash

[ornate bone]

🥲

[heavy tapir]

Dw we get accepted anyway

[mellow sentinel]

Fr Shaw and I homies

[heavy tapir]

Jahameb the homie clutching up for us ✊✊

[ornate bone]

[dusky hearth]

yo guys would you recommend REA or RD for applying to Stanford. (It's my #1 by far)

I go to the memorial every day and pray

[grizzled pecan]

DA

[terse notch]

RD

[grizzled pecan]

Disciplinary Action

[terse notch]

i heard REA doesnt give you a boost in admissions

might as well have more time to work on essays unless u wanna know your decision ASAP

[mellow sentinel]

Yes

I've also heard ur odds of sticking out is better in RD is better than rea

[foggy skiff]

has anyone not gotten an interview yet 😭

[terse notch]

yeah thats also true, bc its usually the best of the best that apply REA

[terse notch]

me

i dont think im getting one

[foggy skiff]

same

[terse notch]

i live in a poor atl area

[foggy skiff]

this is what i get for applying two hours before the deadline!

[terse notch]

i doubt any stanford alum is around here

[terse notch]

i applied 1 minute before the deadline

[foggy skiff]

one of my friends got one from my area but he applied like a month before the deadline so

[terse notch]

i believe this girl that applied early through questbridge got an interview

she got in

im kinda scared that her getting in would affect my chances

[mellow sentinel]

I really don't think area is the one and done factor

My interviewer was from Bay Area and I'm in Washington

[terse notch]

oh yeah i forgot about online interviews

[mellow sentinel]

I think it's just random but if there is someone close by, you probably just have a higher shot at it

[ornate bone]

me too!!!

i dont think when u submitted matters

[heavy tapir]

There was no priority deadline for stanford

[heavy tapir]

Also that doesnt affect ur chances

[hollow terrace]

my interview was like this, and so were other interviews w the same alum (i know others they interviewed)

i think it’s your interviewer, not you. some have an interrogation-esque style and there’s nothing you can do about it really

[foggy skiff]

ive heard that the sooner you apply, the more likely you are to get an interview

[ornate bone]

😵‍💫

Interview astrology

[foggy skiff]

if alumni are available in your area ofc (which in my case, there are since i have a friend that got one)

[glass surge]

night before gang

[ornate bone]

Night of gang

[foggy skiff]

hahahaha i mean in my experience it rings true and that's what all of my college friends have told me too

[heavy tapir]

I submitted late and still got one 🥱🥱

[heavy tapir]

Thats true

For schools with a priority deadline :p

[ornate bone]

I submitted late and got my interview late! And I live in Bay Area lol

[heavy tapir]

Common firestar W

[ornate bone]

Firestar interview L

[heavy tapir]

Nah it was a W trust

Plus interviews basically dont even matter

[ornate bone]

I read a Stanford admissions file on Reddit

Apparently like

there’s these things called admissions files

So people who are admitted can see like the rubric used

And why they got in

[subtle forge]

there’s admission files in a lot of places

[ornate bone]

And for one of them, the interview had it’s one rubric thingy

oh

I saw one for Stanford maybe others have too

[subtle forge]

yeah you can request to see your file if you’re admitted, there’s a lot of videos on youtube of people reading admission files

[ornate bone]

Ohh

[heavy tapir]

Most schools have this

Harvard even had to release their grading rubrics bc of the AA case

[serene shadow]

yeah I'm planning on reading mine once I go

I wanna see what these people were thinking

[ornate bone]

I want to see mine too

Hopefully I end up somewhere that let’s me read them

[serene shadow]

@ornate bone it's federal law

you can read whatever uni you end up attending

[ornate bone]

Oh

[serene shadow]

unless it's like community college or something

I don't think you would gain value from seeing that

[crimson sage]

if I dont get in yield protection

[dusky seal]

me too bestie me too

[dim wagon]

is the SAT/ACT date change astrology still working this year? I read something recently on CC and Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/axonp8/odd_stanford_portal_change/ and https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/stanford-class-of-2023-discussion/2001667/684

[dusky seal]

bestie im worried leave Reddit and cc and please touch grass

[dim wagon]

im tryin 😭

but this is interesting (and it kinda worked)

[dusky seal]

we all gonna be fine

Regardless, most Stanford students sell their souls to tech companies and spread misinfo

plis still accept me, Stanford

[dusky seal]

wdym it worked now I'm curious

[dim wagon]

agree w/ the former; where'd the latter come from tho?

[ornate bone]

I think Stanford has a thing for company/npo owners tbh

Startup culture

so uh I don’t have any of that so my hopes are low ❤️

[dusky seal]

hahahah w/o Facebook there'd be no DJT imo

[dim wagon]

i kinda skimmed thru it. but. if your SAT/ACT date changed on your portal, that means they got a decision on you, and if not, that means you're still in the running and they're doing second/third review and committee

[mellow sentinel]

the do if u did bad lol

[dusky seal]

Also, they're literally a perpetual machine that could fund their students forever but still have ridiculous fees of like 90K but that's all t230

[dim wagon]

"If updated, the admissions committee has made a decision on you. If not, your file is in the que for final decision. I think that AOs first give a quick read to someone's file and then leave it for the second round. The change in date is the sign of second round reviewing." from reddit

[dusky seal]

ahh interesting

[dim wagon]

fs

[dim wagon]

didn't it like go up 7% this year, too?

[mellow sentinel]

yes but they also expanded their fin aid

[dim wagon]

tru

[dusky seal]

but need-aware for internationals, like bestie you've 40 billion + at least 7% return every year, you can give 200 more intl kids aid

[mellow sentinel]

almost all schools are need aware

for internationals

[dim wagon]

expect HYPD i think; D for darty LOL

[dusky seal]

almost all schools are not as loaded as Stanford tho

[mellow sentinel]

they built diff fr

[rain dagger]

• MIT and Bowdoin

[dim wagon]

p much if you're applying from china/india/another very represented int'l country, you gotta be full pay. they very rarely give fin aid to int'l applicants and that's typically when they're from super underrep. countries. for ex, i know someone from djibouti that got a full ride last year

[dim wagon]

also amherst, right?

[dusky seal]

nah I know Indians that go to Stanford on full ride

like 2 really well

[mellow sentinel]

[dusky seal]

But again bestie, you've 40 billion; most Indians don't make 90k in a lifetime like bruh

[rain dagger]

AFAIK they're generous with international aid. But again, I'm from a super underrepresented country and I only know one person who got in (not many ppl apply so it makes sense)

[dusky seal]

anyway

you from India as well?

[dim wagon]

i'm a domestic applicant LOL

[dusky seal]

ohh okay

[rain dagger]

Yes. Amherst is REALLY generous. They've accepted around 3 ppl from my country over the past 4 years and gave all of them a full ride + more💀

[dim wagon]

all the intl's on applying to college do amherst ED1 and then bowdoin ED2

[rain dagger]

Yeah I couldn't do that lol.

[dusky seal]

Hahaha not me applying to Princeton and then UChick ED2, even tho I don't like them

[rain dagger]

But I wish I could apply early somewhere

[mellow sentinel]

Why would u ed then 💀

[rain dagger]

WHAT
UCHICAGO is great I'd pick it over Harvard EVERYDAY

[mellow sentinel]

UChicago is too quirky fr

[dim wagon]

the culture at uchi is 💀

[dusky seal]

i was confused and it was a coin toss bestie

for uchick it was a coin toss

[mellow sentinel]

Playing with ur future

[dusky seal]

hey im waitlisted at uchick so that's good

[dim wagon]

i looked at the essay q's and was like nope. too quirky for me tbh. i wouldn't be happy there, even though it's p goated for my major

[rain dagger]

It was the best essay I wrote 😭

[dim wagon]

well i hope you make it

[rain dagger]

They have a program I really like that not many schools have. Also a research lab exactly doing what I wanna do.

[dusky seal]

and Princeton was cuz I'm writing a book on international relations, and I trash this professor's work a lot that teaches at Princeton so I was like, yea I wanna learn and "discuss" w him and grow, and wrote that subtly in my essays lmao and they give good aid

[dusky seal]

best luck bestie

[rain dagger]

Thanks gl to you too

[crimson sage]

im actually so anxious for my decisions

[dim wagon]

you got in? that would've been funny

[crimson sage]

[dusky seal]

i did not lmao

they asked for my midterm grades on dec 2

[frosty bear]

i had my interview today, would yall like me to post some questions i got in here?

[dusky seal]

So I was like, umm, passed committee round 1? but then proceeded to reject me like bruh

[mellow sentinel]

I was gonna apply if it wasn't for Stanford

[dim wagon]

ah welp the location sucks and so does the mascot tbh

[mellow sentinel]

But I'm not quirky enough to get in lol

[dusky seal]

yea I've always hated orange and the orange man lmao

[dim wagon]

yo not even defer?

[dusky seal]

no bestie and one of my awards is from India's 4th highest cabinet minister for my ngo like plis differ me

i cried a lot that day

[dim wagon]

thas so weird. like why would they ask for midterm grades then? they must have been interested? idrk tho. admissions are so whack

[dusky seal]

lmao

[dusky seal]

istfg like don't get my hopes high

[sick mesa]

does this work ?

[dim wagon]

yeah kinda, but we gotta check closer to mid-march

[sick mesa]

hmm makes sense, has anyone's changed yet ?

[dim wagon]

not mine

[sick mesa]

same they prolly fixed glitch or it will show up later

[dim wagon]

i think most interviews are done, but this might help future applicants ig?

[frosty bear]

sure

• Stuff about my ECs, some follow ups there
• How would you contribute to Stanford?
• What are you naturally curious about?
• What does community mean to you?
• If you could go back, what would you have done differently in hs?
• If you could teach any class, what would it be?
• If you could create a college, what would its motto be?
• If I worked with you in a group project, what would I learn about you?
• I think there was also smth about “Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?” or something along those lines, ik it at least came up in the interview
• I got to ask my interviewer some good questions and got some good responses to those
• There might be something else I missed here but that’s mostly everything

[dim wagon]

my interviewer and i talked about local tea shops in the area and gave each other recs 💀

idrk what he's gonna write abt in my report

[mellow sentinel]

Bruh y'all's interviewers be asking mad questions

[solid warren]

ok wait now I have a small bit of hope hoping they like my business

[mellow sentinel]

Mine asked like 3 and our convo lasted over an hour 💀

[solid warren]

well now test optional exists too

[frosty bear]

damn

mine was also an hour or a little over that

[dim wagon]

mine was around 50 minutes but i got 6/7 questions based off the "tell me about yourself." i kinda enjoyed this interview the most out of all my other ones + plus my drink was 💯

[frosty bear]

oh slay 💀

[mellow sentinel]

Lols

[dim wagon]

but the item still shows up on the checklist i think, just has "waived" next to it (based off cc)

[hybrid beacon]

it worked that way 4 years ago

(prolly)

but stress about it rn

[dim wagon]

if the date changes, that means they have a decision on you

Did u apply to be a guardian angel

Bc u should

[heavy tapir]

I dont wanna join all the threads tho

Also benz where would i apply for it

Ok someone ban him

[ornate bone]

what happened

LOL

[heavy tapir]

Lmao im just trolling

U dont gotta delete the link 😭😭

[ember oriole]

oh

i think the bot auto deleted the link

[heavy tapir]

Auto bot more like auto opp

[ember oriole]

#📢-announcements message

i was tryna post the google form but it kept deleting lmao

[waxen rune]

its not angel

https://bit.ly/A2CDiscordGuardiansApp

also everyone keeps complaining abt when mod apps are opening and arent applying to this but like im probably gonna prioritize some of these people for mod

[ember oriole]

good thing im an angel

ik its not the title

[spiral cipher]

how would I know if admissions even look into my application?

[wind ridge]

dayum this is like a college app 😭

[waxen rune]

Not nearly

It’s like 3 short answer questions and other than that just basic info

Even the short answer ones have char limits

[waxen rune]

Stanford or us

[spiral cipher]

Stanford

[waxen rune]

I mean they kinda have to

It’s part of the deal of paying the fee

It’s interesting because there arent any prominent internet results for what you’re actually paying for with a college app fee

Like on a legal standpoint how much of a review do they owe you in exchange for your fee

If any

But I feel like there’s gotta be at least a reason for your rejection even if it’s just “they didn’t meet our arbitrary cutoff which we figured out in 2 seconds”

[wind ridge]

[waxen rune]

Although I think that gets covered in discrimination cases anyways

[wind ridge]

carly can i get special preference for guardian as duke simp

🥺

[waxen rune]

No

[wind ridge]

😔

but what about duke trio ❤️

[waxen rune]

No

[wind ridge]

💔

[narrow yacht]

I want to get lucky

[sick mesa]

stanford interview went very welll

the interviewer was so niceeeeeee

[crimson sage]

I didn't realize I could submit updates

I submitted them but I think it might be too late 😭

[red trail]

for rd?

i don't think so

[dim wagon]

not too late they make decisions up until the date

[flat scroll]

my interviewer talked to me about his major because i was wondering what he did and he told me about illegal psychology experiments 💀

but he also asked me something along the lines of "what makes you unique compared to everyone else" like what makes you stand out

i had my interview in january so i can't remember

[frosty bear]

oh wow interesting

😭

[flat scroll]

he talked about the experiment where they gave school children lifelong stutters

[frosty bear]

bro what

[flat scroll]

i think my interviewer really liked me tbh but i couldn't tell because i was so nervous and it was in a crowded coffee shop

[frosty bear]

ah i see

i was pretty nervous leading up to the interview but during the actual interview i was fine

[flat scroll]

i think the best sign of understanding whether a interviewer might like you is if the conversation is natural and doesn't feel forced though

we had to keep track of the time because we lost track multiple times how long was left

so i figure that means something in the end

[frosty bear]

thats good

[frosty bear]

yeah i agree

i wasnt even paying attention to what time it was
mine lasted about an hour tho and ive heard that its a good sweet spot

[flat scroll]

mine was ab 45 minutes? idk

i just remember the last question he asked was the sound of metal, the movie, and about like if that was realistic or not to the deaf experience

[frosty bear]

oh thats quite interesting

[flat scroll]

also what did you even ask your interviewers?

i asked about major, financial aid (because my biggest limiting factor is financial aid even though my family is well off) and etc

and some other things i couldn't remember

oh, and it was a silly question but i asked him about the food at stanford 💀

id die if i went to a school with shit dining hall food

but then turns out he went in the late 1900s or something

and he was from a farm town

[frosty bear]

financial aid (because my biggest limiting factor is financial aid even though my family is well off)
thats a good idea
im in a similar situation as you, didnt think to ask about that tho lol

[dim wagon]

like the stanford prison project LOL that one's infamous

[frosty bear]

yeah ykw thats a good thing to know

[flat scroll]

YEAH IT WAS THAT TOO

LOL

i tried to be sort of funny with my questions because i wanted it to feel like informal not formal

[dim wagon]

a specific community fellowship at Haas, his experience with the quarter system, expectations for his 4 years, and like another EC I wanted to do there

[flat scroll]

i think i did ask about theatre at stanford

cause no matter what college i go to i want to do something drama related with a club or whatever

[dim wagon]

mine was kinda dead. he was jus like "ok, what do you want the admissions office to know" like as soon as we started

idrk i was caught off guard

[flat scroll]

that's so sad

my guy was like a 65 year old man who was lively

he's like a hip old man

[dapper urchin]

@ornate bone you just hate me because several life times ago I drowned you in the lake and got away with it

[dim wagon]

puhleez i had a 70 years old alum for NU and it was the hardest interview of my life. older ppl just expect too much

he asked me about like syria? like bro i

[flat scroll]

What

????????

[dim wagon]

i'm trying to get into college, not become a diplomat

[flat scroll]

oh ya, weird question to be asking now when its mostly all said and done but what even is the avg act for stanford

[frosty bear]

one thing i asked is: if you could go back and give your past self one piece of advice about stanford, what would it be?
i also asked about research stuff
and also the study abroad program (my interviewer didnt study abroad but some of her peers did)
i asked a few other things too but i cant recall

[flat scroll]

im wondering if my act would cover lack of good gpa or something but there's conflicting sources

[frosty bear]

damn

[flat scroll]

ohhh i also asked mine about flexibility between swapping majors

and i also asked if he knew what he wanted to do when he got to stanford

[frosty bear]

oh smart

[dim wagon]

it went well though cuz he was much much more jovial in the end. i enjoyed it. he was surprisingly more introverted than i was. i felt like i was talking too much almost

[frosty bear]

yeah mine graduated 40ish years ago

[frosty bear]

oh nice thats great

[mellow sentinel]

40 💀

[frosty bear]

i really liked my interviewer

[flat scroll]

ok you did good because you revived the dead

[dim wagon]

mine jus applied to stanford on a whim. he was 2x ISEF finalist and a whole bunch of other things so yeah

[frosty bear]

i actually felt comfortable in the interview and it flowed well

[frosty bear]

oh wow

[flat scroll]

tbf i think my interviewer got in because he was literally from the tiniest most local town ever but with great grades and essay and stuff

[dim wagon]

oh mine was from like rural arkansas or smthg too. stanford has a thing for applicants who succeed in such environments

[frosty bear]

ah interesting

mine grew up on the west coast
but im not sure where on the west coast

[dim wagon]

yeah all my interviewers have been so fascinating (in a good way). my duke one grew up on a farm in indiana

and he like Ed'd to duke and got in

[frosty bear]

theres barely been anyone in my schools history to get in
but i wonder what the numbers are for my region overall
that might dictate some stuff
im not in a big city but im not in the middle of nowhere either

[frosty bear]

thats pretty cool

[dim wagon]

granted it was like 6 years ago. ed duke was so tuff this year. i saw like 1 kid get in on a2c

[dim wagon]

i think rural/small town does give you a small boost

[flat scroll]

i'm rlly hoping i can somehow get into stanford at this point tho.. my mom was so happy my interview went well i don't want to disappoint her but i'm not a big standout 😭

[dim wagon]

there's like a college board award for it too

[frosty bear]

yeah

[flat scroll]

like i have a disability but other than that it doesn't make me stand out any more

[frosty bear]

im not rural tho

[flat scroll]

i'm not rural

[frosty bear]

im in a suburb of a smaller city

im also asian male cs so that def lowers my chances

[flat scroll]

i have to have two (well three) scholarships to go to my school but i'm def in the city

[dim wagon]

negligible difference then

[frosty bear]

ah ok

[frosty bear]

are you in a private school

[flat scroll]

yes

private catholic school

i despise it

this past month they just handed out a blatantly homophobic paper to the regular religion classes and then my parents wonder why i don't want to apply to any religious universities

[frosty bear]

bruh

its cool how you got scholarships and such tho

but yeah i didnt apply anywhere religious

esp bc im not christian

and also for the reasons you said above 💀

[flat scroll]

i have one from the state for private school (used to be called the mckay scholarship), then i got a scholarship last year and also got a scholarship for the entrance exam to the school

[dim wagon]

i mean most religious schools are p tolerant of other religions/practices, but i get what ur saying

[frosty bear]

true

i just mean other students and all

[flat scroll]

religious schools also tend to attract people who are intolerant, the people in general might support it but there's more intolerant students and sometimes faculty than normal schools in my experience

[dim wagon]

hope you added that to your application, should def help

[flat scroll]

i didn't put the mckay one but i put the other ones

[frosty bear]

oh slay

[flat scroll]

i'm just terrified because of the expectations other people are putting on me ab my colleges LOL

[dim wagon]

hmm BYU

[frosty bear]

understandable

[dim wagon]

I feel like it's just me putting expectations on myself atp

like i don't want my 4 years to be amount to "nothing"

[frosty bear]

yeah
i know i'll be happy even at my safeties
but that part of me still wants to aim as high as possible

[flat scroll]

the weird thing is we have the perfect like 36-act 1550 national merit scholarship valedictorian but people don't like her because she's smug about it so they just tell me "oh you're going to get into [X]"

[dim wagon]

ambition is a good thing, but i suppose only in combination with realism. some days i legit feel like i'm going to get into all my colleges, and the other i'm like welp, i have community college ig

[flat scroll]

bc i'm essentially the second highest with a 34

[frosty bear]

yes this

[flat scroll]

this too

i stress for ages some days and get nothing done and other days i'm so confident i just ignore the surmounting pressure of upcoming decisions

[frosty bear]

i usually open my decisions not expecting to get in and then get happy if i do get in

[dim wagon]

i feel like others' expectation would weigh p heavily

[frosty bear]

at least for schools that arent safeties

[dim wagon]

i glad my parents have low expectations for me; i can jus disappoint myself

[frosty bear]

yeah idt that has even hit me yet
march still seems so far away except its right around the corner

[flat scroll]

doing college apps made me regret how i treated school freshman + sophomore year, but it was also not that i wasn't smart enough to do it but because i was so socially anxious and awkward

i have a 3.6 UW and a 4.1 W

and i'm going to have taken 11 aps 😭

[frosty bear]

damn 11 is a lot

im graduating with 8 aps

[dim wagon]

yeah it's weird. i feel like if i assume i wont, then i wont cuz manifestation and universal vibrations. but like too much optimism and hope is bad too tbh

[flat scroll]

i was too optimistic about UF and that's why

so the next applications i won't open until the day before may 1st

[dim wagon]

you got in?

[flat scroll]

no

i got denied

it was my first denial so now i'm nervous about all my other apps

i think i'm going to try for an appeal though with documentation of my disability

[frosty bear]

honestly i think AOs will see that youve improved over the years

[dim wagon]

i'm sorry

[frosty bear]

im sorry to hear that

[flat scroll]

I HOPE THIS IS TRUE

junior me and me this year was a powerhouse but freshman and sophomore year was terrible

it was awful

[dim wagon]

stanny doesn't look at freshman!

[flat scroll]

oh thank god

[frosty bear]

wait what

[terse notch]

thank god

my freshman year was shit

[flat scroll]

i had to skip out on ap world history sophomore year though because i had to retake alg 1

[dim wagon]

yup UCs and stanford don't look at freshman grades

[flat scroll]

since i did shit on it in 7th grade

bro doing colleges got me fucked up because i thought FSU was a safety for me somehow

i never looked at the acceptance rate or anything

i just thought it was something i should do bc they have good physics and i just never thought ab it until the day of when i realized i applied

[frosty bear]

for me it was just that i didnt really have much to show in terms of ec achievements from freshman and sophomore year
junior year i came in clutch so most of my important achievements are from then

[terse notch]

what other safeties did u apply to

[flat scroll]

USF and UCF mostly

i only applied to 11 schools

[terse notch]

nice

great safeties

[flat scroll]

my dad works at USF so i was probably going to get in either way

[dim wagon]

i don't live in fl. i was surprised to know it had a 32% acc rate

[flat scroll]

it's def lower this year

i heard the number 25-20% thrown around

[frosty bear]

i remember seeing acceptance rates for certain schools and being like "oh this shouldnt be too hard" and then realizing that their cs acceptance rates are far far lower

[dim wagon]

oop

[flat scroll]

thank fucking god im not cs

i feel so bad for cs majors

[frosty bear]

interesting

[flat scroll]

i'm just hopeful about my schools because i was the only one from my school to get in umiami ea

[frosty bear]

oh wow

🇼

[flat scroll]

what schools did you apply to for cs @frosty bear

i did georgia tech as well but im nervous ab that 16%

[frosty bear]

i think gt was like 10% for oos

i got deferred from there

hoping on rd tho

[terse notch]

how did u get rejected from UF but got into u miami

[dim wagon]

rd is p hard for oos; why'd u not do ea2?

[terse notch]

gt decisions for ga residents come out this friday

[flat scroll]

what happened was i wanted to do REA for stanny but i decided against it at the last second

[terse notch]

im pretty sure im getting a rejection

[flat scroll]

so the only decision i did early action for was umiami

[flat scroll]

not sure

[dim wagon]

ahh REA is lowkey harder tbh

[frosty bear]

stanford, cornell, cmu, columbia, neu, gatech, uiuc, rpi, rit, binghamton, stony brook, uwash, ucsd, ucsb, uci

[terse notch]

i applied compE for all my colleges and STS for stanford

[flat scroll]

DAMN

[dim wagon]

NEU

[frosty bear]

yeah neu is one of my top choices

[serene shadow]

i do that too

🙂

[flat scroll]

i did usf, umiami, uf, gtech, ucf, fsu, caltech, uchicago, stanford

[dim wagon]

i was kidding dw. it's a good school

[flat scroll]

i was going to do fau but i decided against it because i had pretty good safeties

[frosty bear]

yeah lol ppl troll about neu on here a lot

[flat scroll]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/856680169518268418/1067678013271048192/feel_that.gif

[dim wagon]

they're just salty they didn't get in

[frosty bear]

ah nice

[frosty bear]

exactly

[flat scroll]

actually thinking ab it i only did 9 schools WTF

i should have done more but i was too lazy

whatever

[dim wagon]

most ppl do 9-12, ur good

[frosty bear]

thats around the amount normal people do

[flat scroll]

oh good then

my friend applied to 40

[frosty bear]

a2c is not the average population 💀

[frosty bear]

damn

ik ppl like that too

[flat scroll]

she's one of the rich rich ones though

and she does theatre

[dim wagon]

except a2c shotguns the entire t20, but that's a diff story

[frosty bear]

im glad i didnt shotgun the entire t20

i have a pretty good balance of reaches/targets/safeties

[dim wagon]

theatre admissions are p tough. they have pre-screens and auditions and stuff. most ppl apply to a ton of schools

[frosty bear]

nice 👍

[frosty bear]

@flat scroll basically i applied cs everywhere lol

[flat scroll]

i hope you get into at least one t20

i reaaaaallyyyy want stanny or gatech but i'll be happy w umiami in the end if i get denied from the rest

i might also just have to give up some of these expensive schools if i don't get financial aid

[frosty bear]

thank you :)
i hope the same for you as well 🙏

[frosty bear]

same

im in that weird area where my family income is too high to receive a lot of financial aid but not high enough to afford expensive schools without scholarships/aid

also my parents have other expenses that couldnt be listed on the fafsa

i would be willing to take out loans for stanford tho bc its stanford

as long as its not a crazy amount

[dim wagon]

i mean for cs undergrad prestige is like a non-factor

[frosty bear]

true

[dim wagon]

for the experience of like an intellectually diverse community, sure?

[ornate bone]

And u expect me to just let it go

[flat scroll]

this too, my dad said he was completely willing

[frosty bear]

which brings me to the other part of me thats just saying to go to the cheapest place and wait until masters to try and go to a t10

[flat scroll]

to pay extra for stanford

[frosty bear]

same

my parents are cool with that

but not always for other places

[dim wagon]

also it's much easier to get into masters than undergrad at stanford

[flat scroll]

i think my parents have idolized me because i'm the much more academically inclined twin so they're completely obsessed with where i go or get into

my mom is like "we don't care where you go" and then tracks college stuff a lot

[dim wagon]

you're a twin? that's so cool

idk any twins irl

[frosty bear]

honestly gatech is great bc their full coa is ~50k for oos
and if i can get a national merit scholarship from there (im currently a finalist) then it might be even better
all depends on how the decisions go tho

[flat scroll]

i hope gatech is before the 24th

i think i have a visit scheduled after that day if i do get in

[dim wagon]

how much is their NM scholarship?

fordham has a rly good full-tuition one

[frosty bear]

im not sure the exact amount tbh

[frosty bear]

oh wow

[dim wagon]

and i think ut dallas had full cost of attendance + room and like study abroad

they're super generous

[frosty bear]

sheesh thats epic

when i was making my list my parents said no florida and no texas

the only place i ended up applying down south is gatech

[dim wagon]

LOL. fordham is rly nice though. you get a priv experience for super cheap. and it's in nyc

[frosty bear]

yeah

[flat scroll]

umiami gave me an insane scholarship so thats why its top of my list rn and i didn't even do anything special LOL

[frosty bear]

thats epic

[flat scroll]

and also bc desantis is why i'm scared of public florida unis

[frosty bear]

ooh nice

[frosty bear]

exactly

this

[dim wagon]

also just looked it up and gt used to have stuff for NM, but not anymore

[frosty bear]

oh huh

theres also company-based ones so i might try getting one of those

[flat scroll]

i don't want to go to a public uni when i got this 💀

tuition is 58k..

sorry if its bragging i just want to emphasize how much id rather not go to a public florida uni

[frosty bear]

like my dads company has one for finalists thats like 5k

[dim wagon]

yeah, i'm NMF too, but the company based ones are for if you're like the child of an employee or smthg

[dim wagon]

oh cool. i don't think my parents' employers are on there

[frosty bear]

i wouldnt say thats bragging lol

[frosty bear]

ooh congrats on nmf

[dapper urchin]

yeah it was forever ago firestar

[dim wagon]

my mom used to work at PwC. she left 😭

[frosty bear]

damn

[dim wagon]
