[cobalt folio]

Let’s just hope I succeeded in flattering the AO

[wind eagle]

That’s good tho

Numerizz

[night shard]

i love stanford

my stanford essay was goated

[ornate bone]

‼️

[mortal pecan]

rizzed up your roommate

[cobalt folio]

If I get in, I should major in rizzematics

[terse notch]

nah samee imo

[lost zodiac]

does anyone have midyear report on checklist

[tulip bolt]

my stanford long essays were mid and my short ones were so cute I loved them

[mellow sentinel]

Gets taken off

[tulip bolt]

why

[flat scroll]

i've seen a lot of ppl freaking out over it but im pretty sure they just dont display it on there ever

[sleek heron]

dw @cosmic breach did a much worse sin

[cosmic breach]

Creating a 10 point bulleted list?

[sleek heron]

ironing

[flat scroll]

my roommate essay is 170 words

[cosmic breach]

Lmfao

[flat scroll]

LOL

IRONING

[cosmic breach]

I said something about ironing clothes being meditative, but casual and somewhat well thought out

As one of my random bullet points

Not bsing here, my ironing board is like 5 feet from my bed

[terse notch]

nope

i dont think i ever had one

or maybe i just dont remember

[cosmic breach]

Also, dare I mention “nystagmus on the thalamus”?

[placid obsidian]

as an intl who was NOT interviewed, should I even bother thinking ill get in?

[placid plover]

anyone here apply to the notre dame leadership seminar

[cobalt folio]

I think getting an interview has nothing to do with whether you get in or not

[placid plover]

what school

[terse notch]

dont worry interviews arent that important

[cobalt folio]

Also which country?

[sleek heron]

😑

[mellow sentinel]

Not sure, they jus be removing it after u submit

[placid obsidian]

Indiaaaaaa

[wicked oriole]

allergies

[wooden spear]

hello everybody

I still got no answer to when RD comes out

here; let's start a poll

react—
🍎: april 1st
🍏: march 31st
👻: march 30th

[tulip bolt]

what time do decisions usually come out

afternoon?

[ornate bone]

I heard 4pm pst

[tulip bolt]

ok great

[terse notch]

scared asf

[mellow sentinel]

U sure u gonna get accepted? I'd just withdraw if I were u fr 🙄

[flat scroll]

actin like you'll survive a day at stanford kid 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[wooden spear]

I should role myself huh

[mellow sentinel]

Yes lol

[mellow sentinel]

Dropping out during NSO dw

Just wanted the Stanford dropout title

[flat scroll]

just start a company

Or a startup

easy

the Stanford name will carry you

[lost zodiac]

does anyone have interview data

[flat scroll]

what

wdym interview data

[lost zodiac]

what percent get interviews

[flat scroll]

i think it's like

10%

[lost zodiac]

yeah

is that true?

[flat scroll]

10%-15%? idk

i'll look for an official statistic

[lost zodiac]

yeah 10-15 is what ive seen

so it cant be random

why else would they train their interviewerse

[rugged laurel]

Im pretty sure its availability

if its not tho im in good shape cus they went out of their way to give me one from across the country

who grew up near me

so

I hope so

Lmao

[lost zodiac]

i got one with the same ethnicity as me

nationality

[flat scroll]

i honestly think stanford probably isn't lying but it is odd that there's a lot of people who get specific interviewers like that

[lost zodiac]

it could easily be a coincidence

but it was just crazy to me

[rugged laurel]

my stanford essays are like 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Like

if I got into JHU

[flat scroll]

i think they intentionally choose their interviewees to connect w their applicants better though

[rugged laurel]

I should definitely get into stanford

but that was luck asf

@JHU

[lost zodiac]

so its not random

[daring thicket]

my stanford interviewer was a person in medtech when i wanna go into law

[flat scroll]

then again the only connection i had to my interviewer was

[mortal pecan]

i mean my harvard interviewer came from the exact area i live in but he hasn’t been here in 20+ years, he went to harvard grad and lives way out of my region

[lost zodiac]

@rugged laurel whats ur major

[flat scroll]

hes white

[daring thicket]

i didn’t rly see much connection

[lethal hollow]

i have no idea why i got paired with my interview, he was from NYC which is like a 12 hr drive from me

[mortal pecan]

i think it’s coincidence

[lost zodiac]

@flat scroll can u calculate a p value for me

[flat scroll]

idk how tbh LOL

[lost zodiac]

i dont even really know what a p value is

lets say it is .3

sounds pretty significant to me

[rain dagger]

Only one person in the last 4 years from my country got into Stanford and she didn't have an interview.

[lost zodiac]

which country?

[rain dagger]

Iran

[flat scroll]

tbh i wouldn't be surprised if acceptance rates this yr were like .5 or 1% higher than last yrs

[lost zodiac]

yeah

[lost zodiac]

id say at least 1% higher

[night shard]

@wicked oriole my mom said that if i get into stanford like you said i would, we would buy you whatever you wanted LOL

[wicked oriole]

LMAOOOOOO ❤️

buy me my tuition 😂 🤪

[lost zodiac]

was boutta say taht

[night shard]

NAH but fr tho do you acc think i have a chance lol

[flat scroll]

guys we have a 1/20 chance 😻

[lost zodiac]

just apply 20 times

[mortal pecan]

good chance

[flat scroll]

20 gap years

[mortal pecan]

i actually applied under 20 different aliases

[wicked oriole]

yes for sure

[flat scroll]

i think a lot of people here have a chance

but ultimately they can't admit all qualified people

declined people didn't "do something wrong"

[ornate bone]

i shoulda put more effort into my roommate essay 💔

wtv now

too late

[flat scroll]

same 💔

but it is what it is

[lost zodiac]

roommate essay is prob like 20% of app

[ornate bone]

i shouldnt have taken that hawaii vacation 😭

[mortal pecan]

bop ur fr getting in

ur essays were so good

[ornate bone]

really??

its that impt

[lost zodiac]

maybe yeah

[flat scroll]

the stanford why us prompt 💀

[ornate bone]

interesting

[lost zodiac]

im pretty sure essays can sway at stanford

[flat scroll]

my classmate who got into uchicago questbridge said i answered the questions too directly

[mortal pecan]

nah 100% your introspection was really cool

and stats are good

[daring thicket]

why?

[flat scroll]

less applicants

last year, many people who had taken a gap year due to covid returned to apply

[daring thicket]

i see i see

[wicked oriole]

one thing important is the admissions officers are not looking for reasons to reject, they are looking for reasons to accept

that can be both a good and bad thing

[rustic sluice]

can someone share me their stanford essaays

[flat scroll]

unless you write about something blatantly horrible

[rustic sluice]

i just wanna read some.

[flat scroll]

like the standard mission trip white savior essay or something

[mortal pecan]

be careful bop will steal your essays

[flat scroll]

I learnt a lot going to the Africa mission trip, where all my expenses were paid.

[rustic sluice]

what were yall's. #1 ec, i said i made an app that got 150k users.

[flat scroll]

my number 1 ec was theatre

[daring thicket]

wrote that back in early november idek

[flat scroll]

it's my most dedicated one

[wicked oriole]

because while it means some of the smaller issues in your app will be overlooked, if your app is clean and has nothing wrong (4.0, 1600, volunteering etc) but is not truly compelling u wont get in

[daring thicket]

poetry

[flat scroll]

i only really had 7 ecs

[mortal pecan]

astrophysics research

[flat scroll]

LOL

[rustic sluice]

how big was it , not familiar with theatre

[ornate bone]

Running school club

[mortal pecan]

my #1 and #2 were tied

[lost zodiac]

nah lowkey this is cap

[wicked oriole]

how

[lost zodiac]

initially theyre ef looking for reasons to reject

[flat scroll]

not very big but i've been doing it since 7th grade and i've participated in competitions at the district and state level

[ornate bone]

yea guys trust supernova he knows all ‼️‼️

[wicked oriole]

well yes

true

[flat scroll]

that's the academics lol

[lost zodiac]

but i guess

[wicked oriole]

im talking in the general process

[lost zodiac]

in committee

[wicked oriole]

its the reason why good people dont get in

[flat scroll]

if you have a 2.9 you probably wouldn't get in

[wicked oriole]

because while they had nothing wrong

and nothing rejectable

[daring thicket]

they look for red flags but they don’t want to reject anyone

[wicked oriole]

they ahd nothing amazing either

[flat scroll]

https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/its_more_than_a_job/

[mortal pecan]

he’s literally a supernova of course he knows everything

[mortal pecan]

mit :(

[hybrid shadow]

made a video game that was played by 4 million people

[wicked oriole]

sheeeesh

nice

[rustic sluice]

guys is there a possibility of getting into stanford after getting rejected from most other schools.

[mortal pecan]

roblox?

[rustic sluice]

all i have is stanford _+ ivy's or imma go to state uni.

[flat scroll]

yes

it's possible

in the end who knows

[mortal pecan]

that’s going to be me with ivies

[wicked oriole]

clinical research, first authored 1.5 publications (1 was completely pubbed by app time, the other im working on rn) , presented at an international conference and was accepted to a few others, youngest individual to ever attend the conference, also made a few interesitng discoveries and was commended for that

[mortal pecan]

gotta clutch somewhere

[hybrid shadow]

yea lol

[past jay]

Defo - have you seen any of those college decisions reaction videos

[mortal pecan]

what game?

[rustic sluice]

got rejected from NEU, UVA, GT, Purdue.... with good ec's tooo. its crazy. my gpa is my handicap, with a 3.9 weighted.

[lost zodiac]

sat?

[flat scroll]

also bet

[rustic sluice]

nope, can u link some good ones? maybe dm ?

[hybrid shadow]

The Wild West

[past jay]

Honestly just search on YouTube college decisions reactions and they all are roughly the same: defer/reject ED/REA, then the middle decisions, then accept ivies/Stanford

[rustic sluice]

like damn, u def had a spike in that. ur cracked tho, but u did say ur gpa was not that good so im praying to be just like u and get in.

[mortal pecan]

damnn

[wicked oriole]

yea my gpa was 3.7 including 9th grade, 3.9 excluding

had extenuating circumstances

that was my biggest activity

[rustic sluice]

3.7 weighted ?

[mortal pecan]

i made some small lua projects but nothing over a few thousand visits

[wicked oriole]

unwegihted

i had a 4.6 weighted

[rustic sluice]

oh damn..........

[flat scroll]

i have a 4.2 weighted

but i also have 8 classes a year

[rustic sluice]

dm ?

[flat scroll]

and 10 aps

i did

😭

check ur dms

[lost zodiac]

do people count self study aps as aps

?

[mortal pecan]

wait bop are you all aps this year

[flat scroll]

5 aps and one dual enrollment which is literally max rigor

[mortal pecan]

nice

[hybrid shadow]

its all about the idea and marketing these days

[flat scroll]

and then 1 honors and 1 elective i was essentially forced to take because my schedule was fucked beyond belief

[wicked oriole]

along with that activity i had a educational tool business that was quite local, sold most of my products to local community college, got quite a high score on USABO semifinals but did not camp, won a few other biology olympiad type awards, grinded filmamking and won an award on the state level for that, did a few other medical activities, and also was leader of 5 clubs

i did not sleep

💀

😭

sleep wqas the one thing i regret

[mortal pecan]

yeahh i had some cliche tycoon stuff

[wicked oriole]

got an average of 3 junior year

[mortal pecan]

and an obby since it was easy to code

[rustic sluice]

holly molly.

[mortal pecan]

i got into stocks off of roblox it’s really funny

[flat scroll]

i do have a game on roblox LOL

[rustic sluice]

stanford please let me in.

[mortal pecan]

i took $10 and made $300

and then let my stuff sit

[wicked oriole]

one thing that is important to realize is that all my science activities built on each other. IE, working for one helped me work for another at the same time. I also pursued stuff i genuinly enjoyed outside of the humanities like journalism and film.

but research was clearly my thing

like the biggest thing

[lost zodiac]

my first 2 activities are sports

[mortal pecan]

went into crypto turned $100 into $1000 and then lost most of it (hopefully it comes back eventually)

still holding stocks

[wicked oriole]

i wonder how my harvard app will go

i dont think my essays werethat great tbh

[mortal pecan]

u got this

[hybrid shadow]

what did you invest into?

[past jay]

My third activity was a sport!

[ornate bone]

managing 5 clubs itself is hella hard but on top of everything else is insane, congrats on Stanford again lmao

[mortal pecan]

i had some stablecoin but mainly dealt in solana

[wicked oriole]

ty ty 🙏

[mortal pecan]

and invested in tokens on solana

[high canopy]

what ec is like ur favorite, not necessarily the most impressive

[wicked oriole]

oh another thing im also in the IB so my academic rigor was fully checked off

so that was helpful

[ornate bone]

Calc tutor/ta

[wicked oriole]

i didnt hae to stress about which aps per year

[mortal pecan]

wait fr is ib full rigor?

[wicked oriole]

if ur taking 4 HLs

[hybrid shadow]

good luck!

[flat scroll]

@mortal pecan drop ur roblox avatar fit

i bet mine is drippier

[high canopy]

thats what i heard

ib is conisdered full rigot

[wicked oriole]

esp if ur diploma and taking 4 HLs

[mortal pecan]

ah i’m not taking 4 HLs but I’m IBDP + 4 AP + 14 DE

[wicked oriole]

oh lmao

thats insane

ur chilling dw

[past jay]

4HL is so impressive, congratulations on ur acceptance, you really deserve it

[wicked oriole]

i took HL AA, HL chem, HL bio and HL psych, SL french and lit

[lost zodiac]

tbh 4HL isnt that hard

[wicked oriole]

thanks sm

[flat scroll]

what even is HL

[wicked oriole]

[wicked oriole]

💀

idk man

[mortal pecan]

i’d rather die than take 4hl because all hls at my school are humanities

[wicked oriole]

my school

is hell

[past jay]

Idk what AA is but come on bio and chem that’s crazy

[high canopy]

HL chem is p crazy i hear its smmmm harder than ap chem

[wicked oriole]

HL chem is way more indepth

i love it

its so nice

it goes into orgo

and analytical

[mortal pecan]

i’m legit taking eng langlit / history / visual arts hl which is the most hellish hl humanities combo

[past jay]

What do you wanna study?

[wicked oriole]

which is 😍

[lost zodiac]

ap chem is a joke

[wicked oriole]

neurobiology

at stanford id do immunology and neurobiology concentration with biology major

[mortal pecan]

very cool

[past jay]

That’s so intense omg

[wicked oriole]

LOL

[past jay]

And here’s me who will probably do business or Earth systems if I get in

[wicked oriole]

i just wanna accumulate as much knowledge beofre med school

as i can

[hybrid shadow]

At Stanford im going to take the make-me-a-billionaire major

[mortal pecan]

analysis and approaches, basically calc 2 + analysis

[past jay]

Ah cool got it

[wicked oriole]

yea

95% of BC

[mortal pecan]

[wicked oriole]

[past jay]

Yeah it’s rough😭

[wicked oriole]

ur pfp ur mood rn i bet 😭

[past jay]

Just means a lot of time on study leave

[mortal pecan]

we had to retest because apparently 7y running a program isn’t long enough for them to figure out we have to prepare 10 bullet points maximum and and choose pictures randomly

[past jay]

Been mood the entire senior year fr

[mortal pecan]

so we had like 1-2 days to actually prep

[wicked oriole]

wild

😭

i could have told u that fr

rip

how did they not know that

[mortal pecan]

and i came into the exam today a nervous wreck 💀

[wicked oriole]

french is literally death man

[mortal pecan]

legit got to the prep room and selected the 2 worst prompts

sat down and started hyperventilating as my coordinator was like hurry up we’re going to be running late if you don’t start soon

💀

[wicked oriole]

:/

[wind eagle]

This hurts extra as an mit waitlistee💀

[wicked oriole]

that is not a mood

[mortal pecan]

then during my speaking she was knocking on the door and rattling the handle for 2 min in the middle of it

[flat scroll]

this means SOMEONE out there fought for you

someone out there heard your story

[mortal pecan]

slid something under the door

[flat scroll]

so they waitlisted you because they weren't sure

💅

[mortal pecan]

my french teacher was motioning for her to go away

[wind eagle]

Why are we interviewing people on a2c

[wind eagle]

BRO IT DOESNT MATTEE

[flat scroll]

AMA im 5'7?

[wind eagle]

I want to ATTEND COLLEGE

[mortal pecan]

“i accidentally gave out the same prompt 3 times… we might have to retest again”

[wind eagle]

[wicked oriole]

[mortal pecan]

[lost zodiac]

That MIT is so cap

[mortal pecan]

i could not take bio and chem

chem is enough

we’re in ochem rn

i’m so dead

[lost zodiac]

institutional priorities are ahead of everything

[wicked oriole]

my bio teacher said he would figuratively disown me if i didnt get a 7 💀

[mortal pecan]

😭

[wicked oriole]

ochem ❤️

i like ochem

idk

i just love it

i liked it better than inorgo

[mortal pecan]

i like ochem too (kinda)

not the memorization part

[wicked oriole]

yea fair

im a bio nerd so im used to it

i just like to understand concepts like a story

that helps

sometimes

[mortal pecan]

i’m better with physics

[flat scroll]

physics is so fun tbh

[night shard]

[glass surge]

i didnt like hopkins

im doing premed techically

[glass surge]

ah ok

[night shard]

i love stanford

i love stanford

i love stanford

[wooden spear]

I agree

[ornate bone]

what!!!!

how can you like bio and not math

[mellow sentinel]

Why do y'all care so much about the roommate essay 💀💀

[ornate bone]

math = cs > physics >> Chem >>>> Bio.

[lost zodiac]

yeah checklist means nothing

[ionic vapor]

Cuz Stanford cares abt it

[ornate bone]

Because this server loves to cope about their application by hyper-fixating on one specific aspect to blame for the downfall of their app instead of acknowledging that a lot of it is holistic review, fit, and randomness?

[sleek heron]

🤢

[flat scroll]

also because people love relying on other people for judging something that they have no idea to accurately judge and that the judging would have 0 impact anyway

[lost zodiac]

it’s natural human tendency to seek validation

chaos theory is so fun

[sterile python]

i love stanford

[night shard]

daily reminder that i love stanford

[flat scroll]

daily reminder 1 in 20 of people who applied here in this thread will get in

😇

probably more tbh idk

[sterile python]

Ayo that’s cool

[ornate bone]

that is kind of comforting

im friends with at least 20 of u on here probably maybe

praying for u all 🙏

[sterile python]

u too brother

[flat scroll]

one really funny thing ab stanford is the fact the phrase "tone deaf" is on the list of words u shouldn't use according to Stanford

and like..

i'm deaf

i'm not offended by that at all

😭

[ornate bone]

well

maybe some deaf ppl are offended 😭

[sterile python]

yall saw that stanford thing where they wanted to ban bunch of words?

[flat scroll]

it's evolved beyond any offensiveness and deaf isn't used to describe only deaf people

[sterile python]

tone deaf is kinda stupid to ban

we had to write an essay on that stanford banning words thing

I still love stanford

[flat scroll]

if i get into stanford

first thing i'm doing is telling the creators of that how stupid adding tone deaf in ultimately is

tbh!

[sterile python]

yeah

stanford is being pretty tone deaf for banning words

no pun intended

like it seems a little weird to ban that

but its ok

[sterile python]

DO IT

ill join u

[mellow sentinel]

Bruh those were only for their IT dept

[sterile python]

oh really

[mellow sentinel]

Cuz they were doing some fishy shit

[sterile python]

oh

[mellow sentinel]

Not for students

[sterile python]

we still had to write an essay on it

lmao

[mellow sentinel]

💀that's crazy

[sterile python]

yeah

yo did u commit to stanford yet?

[ornate bone]

hes waiting on FSU

florida state university Fire Star University

[sterile python]

oh ok. Not enough aid from stanford or something? if u dont mind me asking

ohhhh

lmao

[mellow sentinel]

Yeah fr

[flat scroll]

he owns Sigma University

😻

[ornate bone]

do you own DNU?

[flat scroll]

yes he owns Deez Nuts Uni 🙄🙄🙄

dont need to dox him

[night shard]

their list of offensive words is complete bs

[flat scroll]

tbf I think a lot of them are genuinely fine

some are just odd but i get why they're on there bc of how weird or bad their origins are

tone deaf is the only one i don't get even after reading the explanation

[sacred lion]

I think it's interesting to read through

didn't know about the origins of some phrases/words

[wicked oriole]

Most people at Stanford thinks its silly 💀

[placid obsidian]

a guy from India got in REA without interview

so i dont think interviews are that crucial

[dusky dune]

Who?

Do you know his name or yt?

I wanna see

[lost zodiac]

if u have stats in the range and are a good fit

id say pretty good chance

[wicked oriole]

I got in witjout interview

[placid obsidian]

Rakshit Kaushik

[placid obsidian]

thats great! maybe they dont have interviewers for India this year lol, cuz I dont know any one in RD who got in

got it*

[balmy quartz]

Do Stanford RD results come out on 4/1? The website just says early april but I saw a few people saying that they release on 4/1

[placid obsidian]

by then for sure

[flat scroll]

it's usually the day after ivy day so people predict the 31st next week i think

it may also be the 1st

either one atp

[dire gale]

i got the interview

for RD

[flat scroll]

i'm like nervous about my stanford interview now

i felt like it was pretty good in the moment but other ppl r like "omg my interviewer rated me highest in iv"

mine didn't even talk about my interests 😭

or ask about my exs

ecs

[placid obsidian]

That doesnt matter at all

Dont worry

[mortal pecan]

🤨

[placid obsidian]

as long as u had one

[flat scroll]

🤭

[mortal pecan]

“how are your exs?”

“i’ve had 0”
autoreject

thatd probably be an autoaccept but stanford doesn’t give me bitchless vibes

[blissful island]

Oh omg

[mortal pecan]

hi rice

[blissful island]

Omg hi

[wicked oriole]

interesting im not interrnational but yea i dont think intervews are big for stanford

compared to say harvard

[mortal pecan]

aren’t harvard interviews availability though

i mean tbh if they want you interviewed you’ll be interviewed

[subtle forge]

not for intls

[mortal pecan]

so harvard interviews are only big for internationals?

i’ve heard of high priority status for domestic

[subtle forge]

i heard they’re selective on intl interviews yeah

[neon solar]

I found the interview email 2 weeks late so I know who isn't getting in

💀

[lost zodiac]

Wish I had that

[wind eagle]

I don’t think this is reflective of like all Stanford admin

[lost zodiac]

Obviously?

[wind eagle]

I Heard it was just some random people in the diversity and inclusion building being stupid lol

Like how academics tried to make “Latinx” a thing

When the broader academic left could not care less bout policing terminology

[flat scroll]

i think it's not really like an issue if someone wants to use latinx

it's weird and new and most ppl don't care but if someone just uses it cause they want to it's not an issue

[wind eagle]

every latino person i know hates the term latinx

and does not want others to use it

[terse notch]

any stanford astrology anyone knows????

[wind eagle]

every time you open the portal a blade of grass dies

[terse notch]

lol

i just wanna know if i got in 😭

[drowsy oar]

The stars have not aligned for you today.

Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?

Used 34 times.

[flat scroll]

every time you chatgpt ur application to see if stanford would accept you, an orphanage burns down

[ornate bone]

Can chatgpt actually do this??

[terse notch]

wait what...

i didnt know chatgpt can do this

[hybrid beacon]

its worthless imo

it said my caltech app was a 998/1000

and well....

[ornate bone]

I mean yeah chatgpt isn’t meant for that

I just didn’t even know it could answer that type of question

Anywyas lemme know when AOGPT comes out

[lost zodiac]

it can grade essays

[wicked oriole]

[shrewd scarab]

😭

[lost zodiac]

i think its pretty accurate

[shrewd scarab]

doubt

[hybrid beacon]

for gauging college apps its not, idk about the rest

[shrewd scarab]

grade this essay from the perspective of an honors english teacher who hates children and his life:

[lost zodiac]

just ask it to grade ECs and whatnot

[flat scroll]

you should find out 😻

[ornate bone]

I don’t care that much

I just think it’s cool

[neon solar]

Why is this every male English teacher

[shrewd scarab]

fr

the only two male english teacher at my school teach the AP englishes and you can bet those classes are hell

[neon solar]

Yes lmao

It's my AP lit teacher

He has no soul

[thorn thicket]

that is so slay

[dull radish]

if you didn’t get an interview for stanford is that an indication that you are less likely to be accepted

[rustic sluice]

^

valedictorian at my school got one, but i didnt. the interviewr was also from california, and we in NJ.

[dim wagon]

no, because I did not get an interview

In all honestly I don't think it matters

[grizzled pecan]

did you get in?

[dim wagon]

We had some questionable students get interviews

[dim wagon]

nah

I'm still waiting

[grizzled pecan]

bestie ur not getting an interview atp

[dim wagon]

no

I'm waiting for my decision bestie

[grizzled pecan]

Ah

[cobalt folio]

Wait if you’re an itl student and you didn’t get an interview, does that mean you’re rejected?

I saw someone say that somewhere

[thorn thicket]

No.

[night shard]

no

[shrewd scarab]

+2

[dim wagon]

👹

[shrewd scarab]

ur welcome

[dim wagon]

Would be even better if u do my homework

[heavy tapir]

Means nothing

The interviewer probably lived in the area for a while

[ionic vapor]

My friends got interviews REA and were all rejected

[lost zodiac]

so they were bots

[red pecan]

almost everyone gets an interview REA because there are way fewer applicants compared to RD

they have to be more selective with interviews in RD because the number of applicants is crazy compared to available alumni volunteers

[lost zodiac]

Im pretty sure RD interviews are selective

if they only do 10-15%

theres no way its random

[night shard]

it is purely availability based

[dim wagon]

It's availability

[lost zodiac]

no one knows

[dim wagon]

It is availability. Otherwise my name isn't eversoda

[ornate bone]

omg 🙄 no one hashtag kNOWSSS its based on availability. everyone i know got an interivew.

[ornate bone]

ily eversoda

[lost zodiac]

bro is acting zesty

[ornate bone]

zesty ahhhh

[glass surge]

yeah it’s based on number of interviewers near you or in your state. UC palo alto won’t have alum everywhere

[cobalt folio]

Brooo chatgpt’s roommate essay is way better than mine

Even the pick-up line is better 😭

[novel crane]

wait is this the new one?

new version og chatgpt

[sterile python]

old

[cobalt folio]

It is?

[sterile python]

u have to pay for gpt 4

[novel crane]

the beginning is good but the actual content is bland

ohh really

[sterile python]

like 30 a month or something

[novel crane]

i heard some ppl got free access

[cobalt folio]

Oh yeah I’m broke

[novel crane]

tho

[cobalt folio]

It’s old

[sterile python]

u can find gpt 4 on microsoft

edge

thats prob what it is

[novel crane]

oh mbmb

[sterile python]

nah its good

chat gpt is goated

the one on microsoft edge is better tho

[cobalt folio]

I’ll download that rn

[sterile python]

yeah

[cobalt folio]

Idk it’s not working

[sterile python]

r u on windows

[cobalt folio]

No lol

That’s probs why

[sterile python]

yeah

did u downlaod edge

[cobalt folio]

Yeah

[sterile python]

u have to signup for edge gpt

[cobalt folio]

Yeah I’ll do that when I’m bothered to set up my windows laptop

[sterile python]

cool

[cobalt folio]

Speaking of which, have you guys tried entering your chances to get into Stanford using chatGPT?

[ornate bone]

💀

[sterile python]

nah

im good

[cobalt folio]

…

[sterile python]

lmao

[ornate bone]

how do u even do that

and why

😭

[cobalt folio]

I might be a psychopath then

[sterile python]

its just spitting out info it gathers from the web from prob some freshman on r/chanceme

[ornate bone]

bro wants aogpt

[cobalt folio]

Yeah icl

[rugged laurel]

it refuses to answer

[sterile python]

i respect the grind tho

[ornate bone]

how do u give chatgpt ur entire applicaiton

[sterile python]

chatgpt has morals

[ornate bone]

common app, ec's, transcript, supplementals, additional info, recs

• majors

[cobalt folio]

I gave chat gpt my grades, and some of my ecs

[dim wagon]

Stop playing😭😭😭

Is it really

[cobalt folio]

Ohh I’m an a-level student that’s probably why

[ornate bone]

oh

[cobalt folio]

Idk I don’t even remember mine

[dim wagon]

I have to reread mine soon tbh

[cobalt folio]

I’ve not even looked at it ever since I submitted

I don’t want to cringe

[dim wagon]

I remember I did some weird progression based on sound and smell

Like music sound and cooking smell iirc

[ornate bone]

I’ve reread my Stanford essays many times and each time I read it gets worse and worse

[dim wagon]

Idk but it was actually the thing I unanimously liked immediately after submission

[cobalt folio]

That acc sounds cool

[dim wagon]

Everything else kinda grew on me outside the short responses

[flat scroll]

i've reread my essays and i think they're fine

i don't really cringe

[cobalt folio]

I fr asked my roommate if they the reciprocal of cos C

[flat scroll]

i just wish i wrote more on my roommate essay

[flat scroll]

no, tbh this is intensely basic and boring 😭

[sterile python]

yeah

lmao

[flat scroll]

this chatgpt essay LOOKS better because it has proper grammar and wording but it reads so lifelessly

[cobalt folio]

You guys can tell?

Looks like everything ive been reading lately

[lost zodiac]

paste in all essays and ask to grade SPIV

[dim wagon]

How

[cobalt folio]

That’s a thing??

[flat scroll]

LOL chatgpt cannot accurately measure that for shit it's not a human who can judge something that subjectively 😭

[ornate bone]

…

sexy 😭

[flat scroll]

cheesy but it works

you should genuinely try that if you get into stanford

[cobalt folio]

Wait wait wait

What is all essays and where do i find iit?

[ornate bone]

is that what spiv stood for

i dont remember

[lost zodiac]

dude obviously say something better

[ornate bone]

student personality and something

[ornate bone]

liek what

[lost zodiac]

self presentation and intellectual vitality

[ornate bone]

oh

do i paste in every single short answer + supplemental + common app essay?

do i ned to give prompts too

[lost zodiac]

You are now to act as a Stanford Admissions Officer.

Given these essays, what would you rate this student’s SPIV (self presentation and intellectual vitality, 1-6, 1 being the best)

that is the prompt

paste in every essay in common app and supps

[ornate bone]

so 9 essays total? or moinus short answers

[cobalt folio]

That is long icl

I’ll just leave that to the acc AOs to figure out

[lost zodiac]

short answers too i guess

i did common app, additional info, community impact, and all supps

[hybrid shadow]

did you guys also see your AO yet?

[ornate bone]

did u give themthe prompt questions too or nah

[lost zodiac]

yeah

just what the pdf sayd

said

not the full ass prompt

[ornate bone]

ah

[flat scroll]

oh wdym by that

i haven't like met mine ever or emailed them i guess

[cobalt folio]

Wdym see your AO?

Sorry im foreign, im not 100% sure how things work

[lost zodiac]

i emailed my AO about mid year and she responded in like 2 hours

@ornate bone show me what it says

[hybrid shadow]

they list your AO based off your region, they posted a video on their instagram where all the AOs answered some questions about themselves. Knowing how your AO thinks and where they come from can really help to see how they may have viewed your essays.

[sterile python]

link?

[rugged laurel]

I literally dont care at all ngl

[heavy tapir]

Wrong school oops

^^^

[rugged laurel]

knowing who my AO is and what they look like

why tf does the AO who handles the oklahoma kids (me) also handle other competent regions

[ornate bone]

i dont trust chatgpt

[rugged laurel]

like michigan

[mellow sentinel]

Shoutouts bro

[ornate bone]

i actually think its cool that chatgpt can provide a really nice reflection of my essays

its kind of sweet

[lost zodiac]

@ornate bone do the same for ecs

[ornate bone]

it said i wasnt unique tho LMAOO

[lost zodiac]

oh yeah thats bad

[ornate bone]

💀

[shrewd scarab]

lame

[lost zodiac]

im pretty sure its a pretty legit assessment of ur stuff tho

[mortal pecan]

it’s chatgpt

chatgpt ≠ ao

[sterile python]

it isnt a fair assesment

[mortal pecan]

it’s ML it’s influenced by the wording of your prompt

and anything you’ve said prior in the thread

[sterile python]

aos arent chatgpt and chatgpt hallucinates and just uses some random bs it finds from the internet

It would be funny if chatgpt replaced aos tho

[lost zodiac]

it cant access the internet

[sterile python]

it can

up to 2021

just not current info

[mortal pecan]

would probably be more meritocratic

[sterile python]

yeah

[ornate bone]

guys whats more embarrassing ur google search history or ur chatgpt history 💀

[sterile python]

chatgpt
