Do they have chick fila in Stanford

muted sage
#

it wont be 12/8

#

rd is almost def gonna be 3/29 tho

#

early will likely be uhh

#

oh theyre not consistent

#

but yeah likely the 15th

#

actually

#

this is old

#

but its the same deal as this year

dim badge
#

for the 5 things important to you supp, did you guys repeat themes found in your other supps?

digital spoke

#

yo we might actually get dec 8th decisions

#

its a possibility

#

have they released anything abt the size of the rea pool

dim badge
#

mine are serious & i like most of them except 1

#

its like . something thats important to me but i kinda already talked abt it and is vagueish

naive plinth
#

I will cry

ill have a week to cope if i dont get in

dec 8th is optimal

#

Carly said prob not Dec 8th

dim badge
#

2017 same thing after a trend of dec 15

muted sage
#

Bc I didnā€™t know abt the cc thing at first

#

15th seems slightly more likely bc they have more apps now

#

But thatā€™s my uneducated guess

#

Could still be 8th

dim badge
#

it makes more sense but man dec 8th would be nice

muted sage
#

The fact that 12/1 is a Thursday has absolutely fucked up my predictions

#

I wouldnā€™t be surprised if Iā€™m a week off on a lot

#

Rn I have 6 on 12/8

#

8 on 12/15

#

There are more that are iffy I think those are just ones I think are more solid

naive plinth

#

Interviews were due Nov 16th

#

And theoretically they didnā€™t start reading normal applications till then

#

So it would make sense for it to be about a month late

This is from 2017

digital spoke
muted sage
#

Which was a similar calendar year to this year

muted sage
digital spoke
muted sage
#

It was similar bc usually Stanford releases every 2nd Friday

#

But this calendar year and 2017 the first Friday was 12/1

#

And in 2017 they still did second Friday which was the 8th

#

So it could still possibly happen

digital spoke

#

Can't wait

#

I hope so

#

Cuz if I actually get in, my college final will be a few days after, and I'll finally be relieved

#

:D

muted sage
#

Itā€™s not 100%

#

Bc they have more apps now Iā€™m sure

#

But itā€™s not 100% not possible either

#

I should do more 2017 and 2019 searching tbh

#

Bc it was a similar calendar year to this year and this year is throwing a lot off

(i know itā€™s not certain guys, just doing this for my sanity šŸ˜Š)

naive plinth

Dec 8th will cause my insanity to grow

vagrant bloom
#

How likely is it that decisions will come out the 8th

unreal flame
#

i mean we donā€™t have any way to gauge that

#

but iā€™m gonna start researching

unfortunately, thatā€™s just not how it works

naive plinth

I wish though

Iā€™ve alr accepted rejection though so ucla here I come

naive plinth

hmmm

#

maybe I can concoct something

#

but it definitely wouldnā€™t be my best effort

#

at least not for the UCs

naive plinth
#

Do ucs give waivers oos

dim badge
#

I donā€™t think so

#

yeah

naive plinth
#

Ohh ok

#

Yeah I mean doesnā€™t hurt to shoot your shot but be aware that they donā€™t give much aid

#

Like my friend from Hawaii got into UCI and tried everything to get aid but he couldnā€™t šŸ˜¦

#

augh idk what Iā€™ll do with all of this

vagrant bloom
unreal flame
#

no

#

it was the 15th

vagrant bloom
#

Wait wasn't the 9th the second friday of December though?

#

Is that when decisions usually come out?

arctic snow
#

pretty sure it's 15th, even the css award letter comes out that day

vagrant bloom
#

Does the CSS letter come before the decision?

dim badge
#

i mean theres no way to tell but theres a chance

#

its happened before could happen again

unreal flame
#

thatā€™s what iā€™m gonna tell myself

dim badge
#

release date isnā€™t gonna change your fate

#

donā€™t stress it

digital spoke
#

that means there's a possibility of finding out before you receive your admissions status?!?!?!

#

@dim badge what was the reasoning for stanford decision date dec 8th

dim badge
pine rain
#

when was last years released

dim badge
#

our year is weird like 2017

dim badge
#

it's usually dec 15

#

but in 2017 the 8th was also the 2nd december

pine rain
#

was the second friday of december 2022 not the 9th

unreal flame
#

yeah it was

dim badge
unreal flame
#

thats why i didnt think it was that

#

i feel like its actually most likely still gonna be the 15th

#

but i hope not

#

i think it could go either way

dim badge
#

i know they did it in 2017 when it was on the 8th

unreal flame
#

it might just depend on how much they finish

dim badge
#

that was the reasoning i heard lol

#

and like i said it was completely speculatory lol

naive plinth
#

It's def dec 15th

unreal flame
#

BUT

#

im gonna manifest dec 8th acceptance

#

ok ok

naive plinth
#

how many people applied rea in 2017

dim badge
pine rain
#

Does it matter that much the decision date

dim badge
#

no lol

unreal flame
naive plinth
#

mentally fs

unreal flame
#

im just really anxious for results and impatient tbh

pine rain
#

Itā€™s just gonna mean an earlier rejection for me lol

dim badge
pine rain
#

I visit the rejection simulator when i feel down

#

Or up

#

Helps prepare for the dopamine drop

unreal flame
#

you and stanford locked in fr

pine rain
#

ill post the real one later to see how accurate the simulator is

image.png
#

this is me pre coping

#

to make the post-coping slightly easier

unreal flame
#

STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF

#

ive been trying to yk be as hopeful/faithful as possible and im tryna get out of the negative slump

pine rain
#

be hopeful for the things you can control

unreal flame
#

one minute i feel like its possible and imagine the confetti and then the next how hurt i will be if i dont see the confetti

pine rain
#

be reserved for the things you cannot

unreal flame
#

and thats why im really ready for it to be over

#

i just wanna know now

unreal flame
#

still though

#

gonna keep the faith šŸ˜

naive plinth
#

ok so in 2017, 6,103 people applied rea

unreal flame
#

i dont think there are many numbers for this year

#

I MEANT

#

last year

naive plinth
#

i'm looking for last

#

or 2022

unreal flame
#

idk if they released anything

naive plinth
#

8400 for 2022

#

I think its safe to say at least 9000 people applied rea this year

#

3k more apps makes me very doubtful they will do dec 8th

pine rain
unreal flame
#

well

#

surely they would have more admissions officers

naive plinth
unreal flame
#

and two i dont think it will be atleast 9000

naive plinth
pine rain
#

actually i kinda want to look at class sizes

naive plinth
#

if it increased in 2300 in what 5 years

unreal flame
#

i think stanford has kinda reached like

naive plinth
#

I think it is realistic to say it will increase by roughly 600 by 2024

unreal flame
#

to the point where it can't grow much anymore if that makes sense

pine rain
naive plinth
unreal flame
#

i would say maybe around 9000 but not atleast

pine rain
#

i was originally go hurr durr something about the recession of 2009 decreasing population sizes

#

but i remembered that most of us were born in 2006/2005

#

šŸ’€

#

imagine being a 2005 baby

naive plinth
#

so

#

for 2022

#

so

naive plinth
naive plinth
pine rain
#

i remember talking to a cmu admissions officer and she said she just read files for like 8 hours a day

#

no social life except reading stuff with someone u want to rizz up

unreal flame
#

also though

#

in recent years i have seen more people are just applying to more schools in general tbh

pine rain
#

apparently she tried to spend around 7-10 minutes on every application

naive plinth
naive plinth
unreal flame
#

im sure all t 20s seen more apps in recent years

naive plinth
naive plinth
naive plinth
unreal flame
#

i think that if they have found a way to review applications to combat the HUGE applicant pool

#

then

#

we may still get earlier results

#

who knows

naive plinth
#

from 2021 to 2022 there was about 600 more people applying rea stanford

#

I think it's realistic that over 600 more people applied to stanford rea since 2022

#

That's where I got some data btw

dim badge
#

Does Stanford consider a zip code with a per capita median income of 17k per person low

unreal flame
#

well yeah per capita thatā€™s really low

dim badge
#

what about a household of 40k

unreal flame
ionic radish
#

do we have any intl test optional REA kid here? (with aid)

pine rain
dim badge
#

Whatā€™s that

pine rain
#

your counselor uploads a school report

dim badge
#

What if you travel 20 minutes outside of your neighborhood just to go to a better school

pine rain
#

i feel like average household income is kind of a fucked metric

dim badge
pine rain
#

the place where i live somehow has a sub 30k household income

#

despite the average job here being a professor

dim badge
#

hmm

pine rain
#

and there being basically zero poverty rate

#

it's the same with most college towns iirc

dim badge
#

do I note I go to a different school than my zip code?

pine rain
#

dude if u want to mention it that badly just do it in the essay

dim badge
#

what about the additional info section

pine rain
#

you can do that if you want

dim badge
#

Which is better

#

Or does that not Mayte

#

*matter

dim badge
#

I just wanna know if i should emphasize that essay wise or additional info wise

pine rain
#

It makes a lot more sense if u have a low income and live in a low income place than if youā€™re yoked out of ur mind

exotic reef
#

Stanford please accept me for REA. I want a happy Christmas

dim badge
digital spoke
dim badge
#

bro what

dim badge
#

How would this in the slightest indicate any sort of financial advantage?

#

If anything itā€™s showing commitment to get a good schooling DESPITE a lower income

unreal flame
digital spoke
unreal flame
#

and my only wish for us today is to get a decision date

#

even though thatā€™s likely not possible

digital spoke
pine rain
#

if you're comfortable stating

#

youve repeatedly mentioned living in a low income area so im just wondering what urs is

dim badge
#

Let me confirm, I think itā€™s around 19k (thereā€™s other connecting financial things ofc) but I havenā€™t confirmed the specifics as of yet

#

@pine rain Iā€™ll ask my mom

unreal flame
#

well if itā€™s anything around 19k it is DEfinitely low income

ionic radish

Mine is even lower and I'm an international student

Stanford focused on Questbridge for the most part

And itā€™s basically done

Yes

so their app couldve already been read

And an application update might change that decision depending

It could help you never know

i mean still submit it

harvard had 9500 rea applicants for the class of 2027, and stanford usually matches harvard's applicant numbers, at least in RD, so i assume REA will be similar (stanford usually has a bit less though)

I wonder how many qualified applicants each regional AO has to pitch to committee

they've done committee

for qb

but idk for REA

it's likely there has been some now but they have to get qb done first in the early rounds

Not even going to lie the closer we get to the Dec 15th the more and more depressed I get

second guessing myself so hard

#

worse is the fact that two of my other friends get major decisions on dec 15 too and i'd be crushed if they get in and i dont

naive plinth

And like I know thatā€™s a bad mindset to have

#

But itā€™s a very likely possibility

Oh-

How did you?

void lion
#

im doing RD

#

im trying to do supps today

#

but thats the one idk what to write LMAO

#

the thing is what if your hobbies are kinda niche

#

so wouldnt that take away words because you need to add explination as to what it is

slim kayak
#

Well

#

I feel like I got lucky cuz my main EC is very unique but the historical event surrounding it is like very popular

#

I said I wanted to fly with the wright brothers

narrow pendant
#

i wrote mine about family

slim kayak
#

Historical?

narrow pendant
#

yea

#

i think thats fine

slim kayak

So like meet your ancestors?

narrow pendant

just my grandpa bc he died before i met him

slim kayak
#

Aww

#

That def works

narrow pendant
#

YAYYY

void lion
#

hm are there other types of family historical events you could use?

void lion
slim kayak
#

Can I ask what they are?

void lion
#

because i could do that one but it might come off as a little cliche

slim kayak
#

Sure but itā€™s opportunity cost

#

You could do that but it makes it harder to make it good

#

You could do something simpler and answer it in a way that shows that sweet intellectual vitality that they so love

# naive plinth Based on an interest

and the thing about picking from my interests is that they are kind of niche and i dont want to start exposition dumping for most of the word count

#

its only 50words

#

so my options are kinda limited

naive plinth
#

For example you could pick goat herding and a monumental event in that history or something

void lion
#

oh

#

like something in a niche interest that has more attention to it?

#

could i DM you one of my ideas? i want to see if it would work

#

or anyone else could DM me too lol

Anyone know the sort of thought process that goes behind these creative essays for AOā€™s?

#

How do they accept or reject someone based off opinionated essays?

wintry delta
#

from what ive seen, generally essays show off the more human side of you - your essay should give the admissions officers a reason to admit you

Hi! So I applied to Stanford REA, but I just became a finalist at the city debate championship yesterday (finals this upcoming weekend!) and is advancing to state. I was wondering if itā€™s too late to update my Stanford application?

(also didnā€™t know to put this here or in #šŸ¹-extracurriculars and #šŸŒ»-app-questions so tell me if I need to move it šŸ˜…)

to be very blunt, it does not matter. it's not like you can find out who those people are and then influence/bribe them because that would be illegal. rather than focusing on this, focus on making your application the best possible version of itself it can be. and then just hope for the best.

no one can confirm, but it's probably not much different

stanford claims they have a very similar process to harvard's, if you look at their case ruling file that might offer some valuable insight
