i was talking about how when chatgpt initially came out, teachers told us not to use for it anything. but after interning for the cto of a startup and seeing how he used AI in many things, i was curious as to why we were being taught to not use a resource so commonly used in the real world
he asked:
right now, can you build an educational homework system that would allow for chatgpt to be used, so that teachers let you use it as resource

#

another was one when i talked about my experience working at starbucks
he asked:
can you try and implement a way for starbucks to use AI in their day-to-day work

dim badge
#

yes

#

in the context of my career goal in helping my tribe tho

We really bonded over psych

#

Turns out his teacher was the one who did the Stanford prison experiment and he lived in the dorm where it happened for a bit and I was like 🤯

pine rain
naive plinth
#

He was like “yeah…wasn’t very ethical”

pine rain
#

my interviewer is ghosting me

naive plinth
#

And then I told him about the little Albert experiment and stuff

naive plinth
pine rain
#

i asked him if he could do monday and he hasn't responded

naive plinth
#

When did you ask

pine rain
#

it's been one day so i'm probably impatient

naive plinth
#

Oh yikes

naive plinth
# pine rain please

• What is community to you?
• What is friendship to you?
• How do you resolve conflicts in your friendships? (He’s into relationship psych)
• Tell me about a challenge you overcame.
• If you could teach any class, what would you teach it on?
• How did you learn about Stanford and what draws you to it?
• If you could do research at Stanford, what would you do it on?
• What can you bring to Stanford? Where would you get involved?
• What are you passionate about? What does your courseload look like?

#

Those were just some

#

There were more I just forgot

#

I asked a ton of questions too

why do they call their rejection for rea “released” 😭😭

#

the admission twitter has been a little inactive recently

muted sage

That reminds me that I have to check Twitter too for decision dates

#

I’ve only been checking insta rn

unreal flame

in 2020 it was the 11th

And we will add

But they need to be exact dates

No “by December 15” or anything

so as long as i get into one ill be happy

that’s really what it is for me

anybody here applying REA to Stanford as an international student? I'm from Vietnammm

#

has anyone received an interview as an international student?

dim badge
#

So don’t be upset if you don’t get one

exotic reef
#

I know it's hard, but I gave it a go anyways hehe

dim badge
exotic reef
#

I also did A Levels

#

so I didn't do any APs and the iB Program...

#

it's so hard to know how rigorous my highschool courses are under Stanford's evaluation

digital spoke
#

waiting for another month is so nerve-wracking lol

exotic reef
#

IKR, I'm so worried

#

especially as an international student

dim badge

#

Only 4 A Level subjects though 😢

digital spoke

Like literally none of the information provided on the Stanford's website makes sense to me 😢

#

I attempted to apply REA though 😦

hmmm let me just do a quick search...

harsh sentinel

#

omg I just knew, 4.6% students in the 2023 cohort take 4 A Level subjects

exotic reef

#

your ecs and essays will be weighted heavily too

exotic reef
#

I'm the first person to apply to Stanford University in my school...

#

honestly I think my essays aren't really heart-touching or anything 😦

dim badge
#

oh you dont need to tell me i was just wondering if you thought they were objectively good (which they sound like)

exotic reef
#

I don't know tbh, Vietnam is a much smaller country in comparison to the US.

#

I don't know if they take that into consideration and weigh the awards less 😦

exotic reef
#

I think my ECs arent' unique

#

I didn't fill up 10 spaces for ECs

#

I was mostly commited 3-4 years for those ECs

#

I think it's pretty good compared to where I come from, but I don't think it's any significant compared to students in the US 😢

harsh sentinel
exotic reef
#

Manifesting as international students hehe

digital spoke
#

or like they know that you're international

#

so less awards will be justified

#

wait, is that what you meant?

#

oh nvm, I think you meant the other way around 💀

digital spoke
#

idk

#

💀

#

I'm confusing myself lol

exotic reef
#

Although I'm in Vietnam, the area that I live has less opportunities compared to students studying in Hanoi, vietnam's capital

digital spoke
digital spoke
exotic reef
#

I'm the oldest one

digital spoke
exotic reef
#

There are other stuff too, but I committed the most on these activities on my application

digital spoke
#

that's good

#

cuz that'll fs be taken into consideration

exotic reef
#

it's weird actually

#

Like my cousins and their parents live in the same home as me

#

but on common app I can't list them, they only let me include my siblings and parents

digital spoke
#

ohh

#

you could've put it in additional info

exotic reef
#

I was inexperienced tbh, I just said I had 11 people living in the same home.

#

in the additional info section

dim badge
exotic reef
#

Like you know this situation in Vietnam, that debate is very new, it only started blooming during the Covid, pandemic

dim badge
exotic reef
#

And there is this debate gatekeeping situation in Hanoi, the capital city. Students like me in the middle region don't have access to debate resources

#

and the English language is a big barrier to many Vietnamese students

dim badge
exotic reef
#

idk, I doubt Stanford has that much of local knowledge

#

especially to international students

#

but welp, I submitted everything and nothing can be changed now hehe. Manifesting alphas 🥹 blobheart

#

I hope so 🧑‍⚖️

dim badge
# exotic reef I hope so 🧑‍⚖️

id be surprised if there wasnt someone there who didnt know what the structure of vietnam is like tbh, a rural school in one of the several different lesser known countries of africa might be a different story tho

i didnt know 16-17 were weekends

but

#

the date has been going longer and longer into december

#

could still be 15th still

unreal flame

just bc i don’t think they would push it all the way to 17th or 18th

it used to be 12th i think

unreal flame

i didn’t know how long ago

it could be, but its probably unlikely cuz its due to applicant pool size, thats why it got moved back to the 15th in the first place

stone mural
#

My friend was able to ask few questions there (can’t remember what it was) but as we are from the UK, they said they understand how rigorous A levels are and how much time they take off our days and how our schools dont put an emphasis on ECs hence whatever you do, is bcuz of your own willingness and that’s impressive to them

#

So they will compare you to ppl from your area and what u have done compared to them

stoic stag
#

damn

#

most chinese folks are like that but most chinese ppl that got in are always cracked

#

like raising $100,000 in their free time despite taking 10 aps

#

so yeah I may be chanceless

exotic reef
#

Me too 😵 international student in Vietnam

dim badge
#

its the most rigorous

#

your counselor most definitely put most rigirous

exotic reef
#

I did 4, I still think that wasn't enough 🥹

dim badge
#

yh i did 4 aswell

#

well doing*

#

bro 4 is enough

#

most ppl do 3

#

ur acc doing above the average

exotic reef
#

Iike I heard competitive in the US study like 10+ APs

dim badge
#

10 APs is nothing compared to 3 full A levels

exotic reef
#

Plus I wasn't able to sit the SAT, so no test 🥹

dim badge
#

there are lots of reason for T-optional tho, like if ur low income u can use it as an excuse

exotic reef
#

I was in Vietnam

dim badge
#

thats what i did

exotic reef
#

And the region specifically didn't host SAT exams

dim badge
exotic reef

If yes then I would need to travel to another city to take it 💀

i didnt apply stanford rea, i applied princeton instead. but stanford is my number 1 choice of all time

unreal flame

they tell you it’s not guaranteed

#

i didn’t get an interview either

due to most likely no available alumni in my area

They probably just started reading our apps supposedly

very subjective post

digital spoke
# dim badge very subjective post

I've watched most, if not all, of the Stanford admission files videos from accepted students, and they have these same exact categories with similar stats that match up to their appropriate ratings

muted sage
#

I guess maybe how it was sorted could be implied if you try to find patterns if reader names are listed on files

digital spoke
#

I should specify that

#

I'm mainly talking about the rating system

dim badge

how do they know the 2nd ao doesn't do their own separate review?

like in their comments

ive seen admissions files where they have different opinions

#

stanford day is almost here yall

#

how do y’all feel

#

just for my sanity im gonna assume it will come out like dec 12th and then if it doesn’t

i’ll still make myself feel better and be like next few days

ima say 25 days to make myself feel better

If it’s Dec 15th that’s 4 weeks away = 28 days = a month bc February exists

i’m imagining it being earlier than dec 15

it's very likely not gonna be earlier than dec 15

i do not want rejection date to be earlier

#

dec 18 is fine with me tbh

#

cuz its during my finals

#

while 16 is the day before

#

and if i get rejected or deferred imma be depressed

stanford has been a goal for awhile

calm condor

Nice

#

Hope ya get in lol

#

thank youu

digital spoke
#

Honestly similar for me in terms of the amount of time I've known that I wanted to apply Stanford

dim badge
#

i was always gonna apply to stanford but idk if i would ever choose it as the school id go to

#

i still dont know

unreal flame
#

i decided if i get in i’m committing

dim badge
#

but thats prob more out of laziness and not confirmation

unreal flame
#

i’m over apps 😭😭

echo kindle
#

i'm committing immediately if i get in, i dont wanna write any more supplementals

#

i am not banking on getting in

Genuinely if u got into any school in the US would you pick it over stanford?

#

Maybe a different hypsm ig

#

But yea I doubt it

i’m starting over thanksgiving break

digital spoke
# echo kindle mit

Personally, I'd still pick Stanford over MIT, but I'm like still curious to see if I can get in

real herald
#

id pick wharton over it

#

thats all

real herald
#

maybe columbia ig

#

id prolly go wharton, stanford, columbia

wdym by that

still pretty sure Stanford would be cheaper for me

#

I'm in-state

harsh sentinel
# digital spoke wdym by that

i'd qualify for california resident in-state tuition from the second year so uci will be like $15k tuition per year

harsh sentinel
#

but for me i dont demonstrate a lot of need

digital spoke
harsh sentinel
#

its complicated

harsh sentinel
digital spoke
#

alr, makes sense

harsh sentinel
#

but i cant pay much

digital spoke
#

cuz for me, Stanford would be like $5k for everything, including tuition, room & board, etc. 💀

harsh sentinel
#

like anything over $40k/y is too much for me but i ran the npc and it says ill only get about $10k/y in aid

digital spoke
#

yeahhh

naive plinth
#

Just asking out if curiosity

harsh sentinel
# naive plinth How are you going to do year 1 for UC tuition then and privates?

if i do get in state then my parents are willing to manage for the first year because from the second itll be a lot cheaper
and for privates im applying to schools which give scholarships and/or meet 100% of demonstrated need
its complicated but i think it'll work out like i dont have the energy to explain my whole financial situation now but yes 😭

I see

unreal flame
#

yeahh

#

kinda like the same as interview in a way

#

i think if you have a lower gpa then it could definitely show that your fit to handle academics at stanford

#

but if your gpa is pretty high i think that it matters slightly less than if you have a lower one

digital spoke
#

because it could be you slacking off, so a high test score wouldn't really help

#

or if you had certain circumstances that caused low grades, in which case a high test score could show you actually do have the academic ability

is the decision date most likely going to be 12/15? any chance it’s 12/8? i think theyve been out that early many times before but that was before the massive increase in applicants numbers
