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
I talked a lot abt AI too in my mine
are u both cs?
For interview? No
yeah I said some shit about helping people I honestly didn't know what else to say 😭
ye
rea isnt guaranteed interview regardless
That’s what I said lol
oh i didnt say anything like that
stuff like that
Ik what I’d say fs
i would say, hire a product manager, a top swe, and a top quant to train my skills
my personal mentors for 1-2 years
but that's prolly bad
did y'all get the if you could look into future one?
Based on what I heard everyone gets really different questions
Like my friend got one where she was asked if she could start a university what would the motto be
yeah my interviewer said it was supposed to be more of a conversation than an interview but it still just felt like an interview
does usc have interviews
Yeah they don’t seem easy
For scholarships yeah
This one seems really hard on the spot fs
Mine is a hedge fund guy and is rich asf 💀 I’m willing to bet ik what neighborhood he lives in
Idk if I’ll have much in common w him but we shall see
mine and I talked about tamales
Also what did you guys wear
lmao nice
my interview was online
biz cash
yea business casual
Idk what business causal is 💀
look it up
I did
It’s very varying
I don’t think I have a blazer
Or skirt
Or dress pants 💀
Do you think a formal sweater and normal jeans would be appropriate
yes
Alright awesome
Mine’s online
when
crazy good jobs
Someone i know is getting interviewed by a cracked professor in my area lol
I kinda wish i got interviewed by them instead in person
is urs from ur state
i had the in person and virtual option and i decided to choose virtual
Because i looked that dude up and he does a shit ton of number theory i like/know about
What questions did they ask you
its different for all of us
he just asked what career i wanted to go into and then deep questions on how i would accomplish that goal
Yay my interviewer was so nice
He was asking me such cool questions about my field he seemed to genuinely care
Man when I apply I hope I get an interview
interviews overrated tbh
Oh my
mine went to stanford and harvard lol
its insane
just think this might be us
Bro collected HYPSM degrees like they were infinity stones 💀
bros issac newtown 💀
Interview in 50 mins wish me luck!
good luck
GOOD LUCKK
GL lemme know how it goes
Thanks everyone!!
It went really well! He seemed really interested in everything I was talking about and we laughed a ton
Very chill meeting and cool guy
I think he had fun bc it went longer than it was supposed to
how long?
About 20-30 minutes longer
i meant how long was ur actual interview
like
supposed to be
45 mins
oh damnn
mine was supposed to be only 30 but he talked to about 45
W
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 🤯
"My dream is to recreate the Stanford prison experiment on a larger scale. I have a plan: I'll infiltrate Mr. Beast's filming team, seduce him, and blackmail him into making a video. The title: 'I ran a $1,000,000 scientific experiment with 1,000,000 people!'"
😭 stop
He was like “yeah…wasn’t very ethical”
my interviewer is ghosting me
And then I told him about the little Albert experiment and stuff
Wdym
i asked him if he could do monday and he hasn't responded
When did you ask
Oh dang
mb
i don't know what gender they are
Anyways interview was great 10/10 I can send my questions if anyone is curious
their name seems ambiguous
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
He also asked a ton about my marine mammal stuff
fr? about what
i didn't imagine they'd let you ask shit
His experience, what he gained, some silly questions, some unorthodox ones, etc
That’s the whole surface level point of the interview
I asked him a ton and it really helped me get to know Stanford better
LMAO my dad had that teacher too
Really??? That’s so crazy
what class was ur interviewer
‘03 for bachelors and ‘05 masters
zimbardo still worked there in '03?
thats crazy
Yeah
my dad had him around 13ish years before that
I just googled and he retired in ‘03
he still teaches as a guest lecturer
Dang
Yeah my interviewer told me he still is on campus
YAYYYYY!!
How is this a t5 thread
cuz stanford is t5
It’s a dead thread
But it’s number 3 on the leaderboard rn
cuz the conversations we have in here go on for hours whenever someone does talk
this also might be one of the biggest megathreads
as it should
revive?
Did you REA here?
they would’ve had to they’re only giving out rea interviews rn
yes
W
X
Y
its probably gonna be december 15
2017 was december 8
but more people apply every year
and that was pre TO
so i wouldnt be surprised if it was dec 16-19
LORD
i remember when it used to be a week before ivies
then in recent years it has been same week or day
cuz more people apply
last year was dec 15 right
1 MONTH AWAY!!
yep
brb stalking admissions twitter
yeah the 15th
why do they call their rejection for rea “released” 😭😭
the admission twitter has been a little inactive recently
Fuck
That reminds me that I have to check Twitter too for decision dates
I’ve only been checking insta rn
in 2020 it was the 11th
lmaoo do you need help
If you find any modmail through @stable girder
And we will add
But they need to be exact dates
okok
right
what’s this
It’s my throwaway insta that only follows admissions pages
ohh lmaoo
makes sense
😭😭😭
y’all
i often think about decision day and how scared i’m going to be to open it
ill be disappointed if i get rejected but not that disappointed
im not really expecting anything
idk i think i would be pretty disappointed
i’m not expecting an acceptance but yk
it does mean a lot to me
i have other schools id probably be happy going to
yeah
so as long as i get into one ill be happy
it would just be nice to be a little less stressed and not have to wait until late march
that’s really what it is for me
thats true
yeah i mean stanford has been number one but i would still be happy to go to some other schools, just the wait for the decision days
yeah same
Should I make another list
I got rate limited on this one
Maybe I should make a prestige whore one
That’s just t20s
make it t30s
period
we really could be the number one mega thread fr
.-.
me last week
I guess that too because Stanford tends to do the day after ivies and ivies are going dec 14
thats not true for ED
Ah I was thinking RD
Do they release the same day for early?
nope
my ass getting rejected
Bro took 20 mins to send next msg
what went wrong
im p sure ur overthinking it, you'll be fine
you're fine lol
i’m sure you’re fine
interviews make no difference unless there on either extreme
like really good or really bad
thiss
what happened
nothing good
did yall argue
no
then why was it bad
nothing in ternestnig
then ur good
Simply call upon the graces of St. Anford to heed your call for salvation from your interview with an acceptance letter
He looks like he’s about to give me the rundown on alpha vs sigma vs beta males
same and im so scared ill be rejected from my (current) dream school (uchi)
twinss
anybody here applying REA to Stanford as an international student? I'm from Vietnammm
has anyone received an interview as an international student?
I’m doing RD but that’s probably going to be extremely difficult
So don’t be upset if you don’t get one
I know it's hard, but I gave it a go anyways hehe
good luck but dont fret, the interview has hardly any impact
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
waiting for another month is so nerve-wracking lol
thats good
Only 4 A Level subjects though 😢
I can imagine 😭
Like literally none of the information provided on the Stanford's website makes sense to me 😢
I attempted to apply REA though 😦
i mean as long as you're taking as much rigorous classes available to you you'll be fine in that aspect
hmmm let me just do a quick search...
same ugh
omg I just knew, 4.6% students in the 2023 cohort take 4 A Level subjects
hiii, where are you from?
do any take 5 and have applied before
im guessing ur good tho 👍
your ecs and essays will be weighted heavily too
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 😦
what about ecs
i wouldnt worry about it tbh you cant change that now
oh you dont need to tell me i was just wondering if you thought they were objectively good (which they sound like)
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 😦
about your ecs?
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 😢
india (i didn't rea stanford btw but I agree with your sentiment)
Manifesting as international students hehe
omg, that's cool
yup, they do!
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 💀
or like from Vietnam*
idk
💀
I'm confusing myself lol
Although I'm in Vietnam, the area that I live has less opportunities compared to students studying in Hanoi, vietnam's capital
Ohh icic
what are they, if you don't mind sharing
I'm from California, but also a region that has less opportunities than like bay area, san jose, or LA
I was mostly a debate trainer for 3 years, president of environmental club for 3 years, family responsiblity is a big thing of mine because I have 3 siblings and 2 cousins living together.
I'm the oldest one
wow, did you make sure to emphasize the family responsibility in your app?
There are other stuff too, but I committed the most on these activities on my application
yes, on my supplementals
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
I was inexperienced tbh, I just said I had 11 people living in the same home.
in the additional info section
ur compared to ur environment, not the US
Like you know this situation in Vietnam, that debate is very new, it only started blooming during the Covid, pandemic
honestly i wouldnt ask this bc it gets too close along the lines of chanceme
oh okay
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
well u dont live there so they wouldnt expect you to have those resources
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
🥹 
they assign specific AOs who have knowledge of that region typically and those aos usually have a team to sort apps
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'm just worried and new to this whole process, thank you to anyone here that has read these ranting
Your discord profile looks so cool though @dim badge ✅✅✅
don’t worry, you got it fr, you’d be surprised about how considerate admissions officers can be when it comes to circumstances
Thanks guys, I feel a bit better now 👏🤝
REVIVE
Will it release Dec 15?
most likely
no official date announced yet though
i wouldnt be surprised if dec 16-17
Idt they will announce on a weekend
then dec 18
i didnt know 16-17 were weekends
but
the date has been going longer and longer into december
could still be 15th still
yeah i think it would be 15th
just bc i don’t think they would push it all the way to 17th or 18th
i mean i forgot how long ago but i remember it got pushed 3 days to the 15th
it used to be 12th i think
well back when it used to be a week before ivies
2-3 years ago not that long since the 12th change lol
true
i didn’t know how long ago
i honestly just remember watching the videos
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
It’ll happen when it’ll happen
Real asf billert 😭 you won’t get rejected though
Real, the imposter syndrome is killing me 😵💫
What the hell is imposter syndrome
💀 me when my grade is falling because group projects are just me trying to do everything
im getting rejected gg
Same 😔
My grade is falling cuz AP Spanish and U.S. Gov 💀
I can't with the listening audio
And the wackiest gov rules lol
THIS
gov is weird
luckily my class has hella extra credit
You feel like you aren't good enough
u get addicted to amogus
Please let it be dec 16
I have a toefl exam at dec 16
although a reach is a reach but a rejection is a rejection
Then I would be reverse imposter syndrome
idk how I have the guts to submit Stanford
best 90$ wasted in my life yeeeee
😦 🙂 😦 🙂
They won’t compare you to US students, few of my friends applied to Stanford (RD tho) and got in last yr, and as they are international students, US colleges bring those accepted from the same country together beforehand
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
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
Me too 😵 international student in Vietnam
i did a levels aswell, dw theyre more respected than APs
its the most rigorous
your counselor most definitely put most rigirous
I did 4, I still think that wasn't enough 🥹
yh i did 4 aswell
well doing*
bro 4 is enough
most ppl do 3
ur acc doing above the average
Iike I heard competitive in the US study like 10+ APs
10 APs is nothing compared to 3 full A levels
Plus I wasn't able to sit the SAT, so no test 🥹
yh im test-optional aswell
there are lots of reason for T-optional tho, like if ur low income u can use it as an excuse
I was in Vietnam
thats what i did
And the region specifically didn't host SAT exams
ahh fairs, u got that reason then, did u put it in additional information??
If yes then I would need to travel to another city to take it 💀
lol yh thats long
i didnt apply stanford rea, i applied princeton instead. but stanford is my number 1 choice of all time
Welp I didn't do research at any university those kinds of stuff 🥹
Did u get an interview? And if you don't mind telling which country where you come from
not yet, if ur waiting also dont stress. it takes time
im from UK 🙂
but ethnically im pakistani
nice to meet u
Any international students here received an interview from Stanford? 🥹
50 word supps 🫠🫠
They're fun lol
i remember someone from singapore in here saying they got one
Do you know when they applied?
well they were rea
when you apply doesn’t make a difference
they don’t start reviewing that until the apps are due
Seems like not all REA applicants get interviewed 🥹
yeah not all rea applicants are interviewed
they tell you it’s not guaranteed
i didn’t get an interview either
due to most likely no available alumni in my area
i’m in an underrepresented region in the us
@exotic reef @unreal flame Yeah, it's like really dependent on availability. I got an interview but my friend (same school) didn't, at least not yet.
bro what if i just dont get an interview
Their deadline was nov 16th
not really in their eyes, you cant expect someone from the us to take a levels (unless its flroida) and vice versa so theyre not really comparable
i think its harder for legacy tbh, ik of a 2nd gen legacy kid who didnt get one either
nah
in college fair
AOs said
that A-Levels are equal to if not more rigorous than IB
they didnt say AP
but everyone knows IB is more rigorous than APs
its common sense
Alevels r respected, especially if ur doing a level further math
lmao theyre not gonna admit someone who took full a levels or full ib over full ap just because they took full a levels or full ib, especially if their school doesnt offer it
maybe for uk or intl or nonholistic colleges but definitely not for somewhere that uses holistic admissions
nah like obviously they take everything in context
Bruh
F this guy in the post
Wait, for what?
Interviews
For rea
The deadline to submit reports was nov 16th or something
:o really? Where'd you see that?
Multiple of my friends were told in their emails when they got interview requests
Wait what
Mine didn't say anything about that lol
Mine didn’t either
But a few of my friends were told that
Hmm, that's cool
So that means the second reader is probably going to read our applications soon
Second reader?
They probably just started reading our apps supposedly
Well, there are usually 2 readers per application
They do it after qb
Oh I thought it was one
Really?
Nope, never one
Because that would increase bias
And discrepancies
I'll send you a link later, it breaks down the Stanford holistic admissions process and I find the read quite cool
It is one for a lot of schools
I think I’ve read about what you’re talking about
Interesting, really, which ones?
That’s what a lot of people said
Well, not Stanford at least
Which is nice
Idr I will get back to you on that
Stanford is a such a long shot either way
I’ve given up hope
I really should stop looking at this thread it’s not healthy
@naive plinth yeah its 2, legacy gets 3
Good to know
ohh that’s interesting
Never give up
Do not give in to cutting yourself short
Do not give in to wasted dreams because you didn’t think you had the goods when you did this entire time
Can you send it to me now please
I applied it’s just like
Why have hope for it to be crushed yk
because you always gotta have faith no matter what
it’s like
if you don’t think you have what it takes, that energy will put out into the universe
Fair but I don’t want to be blindsided yk
you got this dw
you wanted this more than anything I’m sure
So I’m sure you put in effort into every part of the app; AO’s will be sure to notice that
Maybe not
I’ve wanted one thing more
Thanks I appreciate it
Either way ucla will hopefully take me 🥰
Agreed
I want to not be sick anymore
You’re getting into both
Wdym
Me when I’m delulu
you literally have better stats than me
I’ve been sick for a year and it really changed my life for the worst and the better
oh
How do you know my stats 💀
Actually, I don’t
Either way Stanford has been on a reject rampage for the last 4 years from my school
You just seem super cracked
Thank you
I’m not dw
We will all thrive though even if we get rejected
That’s right
@dim badge @naive plinth https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/z9fn7f/an_unofficial_comprehensive_deconstruction_of_the/
Sorry, was running cross country
At my school, no one got in last year, but like 2-3 people got in the year before that in 2022 💀 which is insane
So I'm hoping I have a better chance this year
idk if this is completely correct
very subjective post
the categories and details are mostly correct, the level of stats to achieve the ratings may differ by a slight bit, but otherwise, it's quite accurate
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
Don’t think those videos would give you any indication on how long was spent reading an app
I guess maybe how it was sorted could be implied if you try to find patterns if reader names are listed on files
oh, yeah, the reading time and the sorting of applications is the only thing that might not be correct*
I should specify that
I'm mainly talking about the rating system
i mean the ratings arent wrong, but im not sure if the rest is right
how do they know the 2nd ao doesn't do their own separate review?
^
but you said the whole things quite accurate
^
There's Stanford admissions files videos with the 2nd AO agreeing with the 1st
like in their comments
which one?
ive seen admissions files where they have different opinions
I don't remember the specific videos
well, different opinions are normal
well that's anecdotal then, also its a youtube comment, which is also anecdotal and might not be real
but I'm trying to emphasize that the 2nd reader doesn't do a "separate" review, they see what the 1st reader says and can agree/disagree with them
how do you know that though
No, I meant in the admission files video itself, the 2nd AO's comments include agreement/disagreement with the 1st AO
which
:/
^
because it's literally in some people's admission files videos 😭
what are y'all debating
they could also see them after
i mean theres no way to know 😭
well then it's not separate
@pine rain
lol
its separate because they form their own opinions first
that's in the case of every person
you're always gonna have your own opinion
i mean im just saying that whole reddit post is completely subjective and isnt based on much besides speculation off of someones admissions files
"separate" or not "separate"
now where are you getting the complete subjective part
the people showing their admissions files arent admissions officers
theres no way to tell what awards and stuff can get a "1"
i think the second reader does read the first reader's comments
bro, they're reading off their admissions files, obv they aren't AOs and won't be completely correct, I'm not saying the reddit post is complete correct, but there's objectively correct stuff about it
it's not just a hard agree/disagree though
^
what is objectively correct about it
the rating categories
the 1520 could be in context of region
obviously omg 😭
thats true
doesn't everyone know about the rating categories
lmao
at the end of the day they do matter but its not worth catering your entire profile towards those categories
but im just saying im not sure if its a good source
not everyone
you're better off being shown jerry weis admission file
yea lmao
or just any admissions file
pretty much
okay, I'm leaving 💀 no point in continuing this convo, I literally already said it's not complete accurate
it's self-explanatory
what about it is accurate and not accurate
besides the rating system
what are we even arguing over
nothing 😭
then why share it if you know there's stuff wrong with it
i just pointed out its not really a credible source
obviously there's gonna be discrepancies
just read an actual admissions file lol
it's just nice to know about the "general" info about admissions
jerry wei's is publicly available
ik
i think we even have it pinned (might be wrong on that)
i feel like the post isn't that bad but stuff like this pushes people reading it in the wrong direction
nah but now would be a good time to pin it
that's why ppl need to read it with common sense 😭
also there's like no mention at all
I've already watched the video @dim badge
to stanford's portfolio review
yea...
im posting it for the channel to be pinned
oh my
can we stop talking about it now 💀
there's obv stuff missing
and I know about them
Jerry Wei's Admission File: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rEZYzsUZu5Wc6bNYKWltAs4Jt53pPrX2/view?usp=sharing
Google Docs
no hate to this dude but i'd expect someone who'd researched for "hours" about the admissions process to at least know about its existence
i mean i just think it kinda leads people in the wrong direction
true
ig they didn't submit one themselves
so they didn't include it
like what are you gonna do at this point
it's an entertaining read lol
that's all
also do you do olympiads by any chance
we have like
50 mutual servers
you seem like you'd have usaco plat and usapho gold
usaco, I do it for fun lol
bros done every olympiad
lol
Haha no lol
yo also sorry, did not mean to come off rude
i got hardstuck gold after qualling freshman year
All good
hi
then with usapho i didn't take it seriously until finding out that it was serious
you guys are up now
😭
i been up for 12 hours bro
revive perioddd
I'm Silver lol
argument boosted our ranks tbh W
#1 mega thread otw
leland stanford junior university
just bc this is the one thing i really don’t know
I had like 3 hours of sleep a night last year, couldn't study enough for usaco
in past years when have they announced rea decision date?
do you want tips for silver
lol
silver has gotten easier now compared to when i took it apparently
but it's really just a couplep of concepts
i can give u resources and website
Lol, I know all of the silver concepts, but I just didn't have enough time to study before the season ended 💀
Which is sad
do u do any other olympiads
ur also in phods and cods i see
and mods
No lol
I'm from a region where ppl don't even know about olympiads
Our school didn't even have AMC this year lol
Cracked
What region are you from?
indiana
somewhat
carmel is more competitive than us but they're also larger
what region are u from
Cali, but less competitive than bay area/LA
4 days before last year
OMG THE BAND
thanks queen
LA is mostly not competitive
Wait really?
Nah lol
A number of very great schools but I wouldn’t call LA a competitive region in the way you would call NoVa one
What's NoVa
Northern Virginia/DC
Do you think I should report my SAT score of 1490? (780 Math)
1490>test optional imo
precisely
Okayy
id prob ask someone like biggreen10
@tidal osprey
also depends on major i think
Yeah, makes sense
wtf why
they have to verify theres no connection
ohhh
yk my grandma snuck my mom an interviewer that she knew for harvard
cheater fr
runs in the family ig
R U TALKING ABOUT ME??
🙈
yk im not a cheater im actually someone with integrity 🙄
how
wait wdym by this
interviews are stanford alumni
legacies are the kids of stanford alumni
stanford alumni are often in the same association
and know each other
ohhh
I didn't read context
I thought you were talking about admissions
didn't see it was about interviews
well
makes sense
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
Bro there’s still a month 😭
u just gave me a heart attack
less
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
well
i’m imagining it being earlier than dec 15
to make it seem slower
I thought it was usually around there
it was
honestly i wouldnt get your hopes up
it's very likely not gonna be earlier than dec 15
i do not want rejection date to be earlier
its more or trying to convince myself so it doesn’t feel longer
LMAO same
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
I’m going to get my rejection mid finals week dang 💀
They should just wait until December 20th
LMAO facts
im getting it before.
That’s worse 😭 if it’s Dec 15th it will be like two days before finals start
yeah.
Just don’t check until after
i need to check. my mind can't focus on finals then
either way im screwed but not checking is worse
Hm fair
I will probably cave and check
lol
well honestly
i’ve been waiting four years
so less than a month is really short for me 💀
stanford has been a goal for awhile
thank youu
Dang lol
Honestly similar for me in terms of the amount of time I've known that I wanted to apply Stanford
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
mod king
i’ve been praying about it and thinking it over and idk it’s just felt like the school for awhile
i decided if i get in i’m committing
im prob the same
but thats prob more out of laziness and not confirmation
that’s understandable too 🤣
i’m over apps 😭😭
i'm committing immediately if i get in, i dont wanna write any more supplementals
twinn
ive already started
i am not banking on getting in
i submitted EA's to 6 public schools so hopefully i get into one of those
What better school is there 😭
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
nope i wouldn’t
but yeah this too
i’m starting over thanksgiving break
mit
wouldn't care enough to apply if i got into stanford tho
Personally, I'd still pick Stanford over MIT, but I'm like still curious to see if I can get in
maybe yale or columbia
maybe penn m&t
All I know is I'm not getting into M&T because I don't have enough of a business background 💀
same
i dont even have an engineering background really
I'd pick uchicago, northwestern, USC, or UCI over stanford but that's mostly because of major
And UCI is because of cost
i qualify for in state from second year because my dad has been paying california taxes since before i was born
Are u applying to ucla ucb ucsd etc
ucla ucb ucd and uci
Stanford has some of the best financial aid 💀
there's a big difference between private and instate tho
uh...
wdym by that
still pretty sure Stanford would be cheaper for me
I'm in-state
i'd qualify for california resident in-state tuition from the second year so uci will be like $15k tuition per year
stanford meets 100% of demonstrated need so maybe for you yes
but for me i dont demonstrate a lot of need
oh, do you have a high income
its complicated
yeah
alr, makes sense
but i cant pay much
cuz for me, Stanford would be like $5k for everything, including tuition, room & board, etc. 💀
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
thats amazing tbh
yeahhh
How are you going to do year 1 for UC tuition then and privates?
Just asking out if curiosity
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 😭
No totally alright I’m manifesting for you!
me with you fr
that’s beautiful
actually sure
it's pretty close to the 25th percentile tho
25th percentile is good enough
it surely is; I know s1 submitted a 1470
I mean yeah, 25th percentile means that roughly a quarter of accepted students actually submitted worse
yeh, I guess as long as it's not SUPER under the line, you can submit it. who knows
stanford ☹️
i do
thats acc insane
bro got into a t10 and best business school
still mad
if i got into wharton i would take 20 rejections
yea but we dont have fountains to hop in
lmfao
if i got into stanford and penn i would prolly still choose penn, but mainly bc i would kms if i had to move across the country for college
lol loser im moving across the world
💀
i’m test opt too
vibe
I don't think test opt could hurt, but it could definitely benefit
not by a big margin tho
I see
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
yeah, and even in the case of a low gpa it depends
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
truee
hiii
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

If I had to guess it will be the 15th. It's been the 15th for a couple years now. Also the ivies will release on the 14th and Stanford tends to be close to them for release day
in my head i’m just gonna think 20 days to make it seem closer
then it’ll really be close by then so then i’ll just make up the difference later
.-.
REVIVE
3 weeks till app releases
scary to think ab
First rejection 😍
when are y’all uc apps due
