Stanford University (2023-2024)

[mental haven]

same

can we exchange them LOL

[digital spoke]

yeah

everyone here is crazy

[austere folio]

if u think thats bad just look at cali

i have zero chance of stanford bro im like 25 minute drive from stanford campus

[digital spoke]

yeah 💀

rip bay area/san jose ppl

it's way too competitive

I know so many friends there

[rough lark]

haha 💀

me

stanford absolutely broke my heart

[digital spoke]

🫠

[wary heron]

A certified lurker but just wanted to pop in and say good luck to u all !!! U guys rly got me through this 🙏🏻

[short lagoon]

stanford comp sci, im an international student, meh act score (29), 4.15 gpa and straight As, and 40 predicted in ib. are my chances there? is it worth it to apply or do i have lower chances than usual bc of my act?

[trail olive]

If you don't submit you're fine

[short lagoon]

ok ok

thank you tictac

[trail olive]

<3

[trail olive]

Same
I thought my ecs and awards were good too 😭😭

[short lagoon]

have you applied already?

[trail olive]

Yeah

[short lagoon]

i wish i applied to more schools early action

i was so stressed this sem with school work that i applied early to like 2 schools

[short lagoon]

did you get your decision?

[trail olive]

Rejected yeah

[short lagoon]

that sucks

chance is crazy

and you know youre on the right path and there is no one path bla bla

and i mean if you felt qualified for stanford, chances are you have a really good profile for every other uni

[trail olive]

I hope

Someone at my school (0 stem ecs) got deferred from mit

[short lagoon]

ah

i dont think anyone at my school talks about their deferrals that much

i j know the acceptances

this is all such a numbers game though

can you reapply to stanford regular decision?

[mental haven]

no 😞

[trail olive]

i WISH

[digital spoke]

You can't 🫠

[solemn echo]

honestly im down bc theres not very many of us and we're in a weird spot now lmao

[digital spoke]

You guys got this 🙏

Hoping you guys get in

[austere folio]

for those who got in can u pls do ferpa and tell us the info 😭

[lost ferry]

ferpa can't get processed until a long time later

my ferpa request took like a good 4 months until they got back to me

[cunning basin]

if i get usc any ride im not applying anywhere else

im done

plleeaase

id dooo anything

[real herald]

Lmao

[dim badge]

for people here, ferpa isn’t happening for a while

[vale plover]

the only person i've ever seen an actual ferpa from at a top school is @buoyant spindle for UIUC

i dont think ive seen anyone else manage to get their file

ty for posting that file tho that was honestly one of the most useful things ive seen

[digital spoke]

I want to read my admissions file, so maybe

[buoyant spindle]

Dang uiuc top school /s

[vale plover]

for cs 😭

[buoyant spindle]

But yea I've seen people at UPenn get their file but it took them every bone in their body to harass the admissions office

Uiuc its hella easy you just call em up or email and they schedule a time

Berkeley apparently it's also possible and not too hard but there isn't many comments

[dim badge]

okay so

[buoyant spindle]

I had a whole list of comments on mine though, very tough to read through

Lol

[dim badge]

everyone in fucking mit thread just straight up got fucking deferred

[buoyant spindle]

That's how it always is

No gets rejected from MIT in EA

[dim badge]

I didn’t know that

[buoyant spindle]

Unless you are a criminal or smth

[spring veldt]

3000 ppl did lol

[buoyant spindle]

But MIT doesn't want to make a decision yet on many people

[buoyant spindle]

Rookie numbers

[dim badge]

why do they make out with the defer button

[buoyant spindle]

Same with umich btw

Almost everyone is gonna get deferred

Or they so call it "postponed"

But yea both MIT and umich love deferring people

UCs do the same with waitlisting at their non LA Berkeley schools

It's very common to get a WL at UCSD, UCD, UCI and also not too rare to get off that waitlist either

[dim badge]

okay so the question is

[vale plover]

uc waitlists r wild

[dim badge]

When you get deferred from this places

Is there still hope?

Or probably not

[trail olive]

yes

[vale plover]

its RD chances

[buoyant spindle]

Depends on the school

For stuff like MIT and umich it's like you just didn't get a decision at all

[vale plover]

prolly a bit better because you arent an obvious filter out

[vale plover]

or this

[buoyant spindle]

But places with low deferral rates like Stanford, Gatech

You'll have an RD chance

[real herald]

Bro utd 😭

[vale plover]

did they defer you 💀

[spring veldt]

like Penn defers the same amount as they accept early..

So it's not a terrible outcome

[buoyant spindle]

When you get deferred you rarely will get rejected imo most likely a waitlist

Yea UPenn is better than some places for deferrals

There are some places where being deferred is a death sentence

Mainly uchicago EA deferral

[spring veldt]

Yeah Stanford + Gtech are the best and Harvard, Princeton suck for deferrals

[buoyant spindle]

They accept 0.5% of EA deferrals

[real herald]

No I'm auto admit. Just wondering why u would ever want to go there 😭as an Indian there are wayyy too many brown ppl there it's Hella nerdy bro 0 social life

I live nearby

[vale plover]

i mean pton and harvard defer like 99.999999%

[buoyant spindle]

Huh do they

[spring veldt]

Precisely

they defer a LOT

[buoyant spindle]

I thought it was lower than that unless they changed it up recently

[dim badge]

I have a question

How do you get luck

[buoyant spindle]

You shotgun

[dim badge]

Luck is like the force

[buoyant spindle]

You apply to so many you gain luck

[vale plover]

yeah 💀 but its lowkey my safety + full ride for NMS. i took the amc 12A there and the TAs made us leave 5 minutes early 💀

im taking a few DE classes there this summer tho

[dim badge]

It is the sole thing that binds all living things and events together

[buoyant spindle]

Bruh UTD is great

[dim badge]

but only certain people are strong with it

[buoyant spindle]

I know a few guys there at CS doing really good

[vale plover]

UTD i feel like

[buoyant spindle]

UTD is in such a good location

[vale plover]

its very barebones

[buoyant spindle]

They got capital one next to em

[real herald]

Lmao same only applied for nms but I ain't going cuz I got into better schools

[buoyant spindle]

JP morgan

[spring veldt]

I could never.

[real herald]

It's ass

Ngl

[buoyant spindle]

Lol UTD seems fine imo

[vale plover]

r u from plano-frisco-prosper-allen cluster...

[buoyant spindle]

Plano is good

[spring veldt]

My aunt's literally a CS professor there.

[real herald]

Ye let's not go any further

[dim badge]

North Dallas is hosted

[buoyant spindle]

Lots of Plano ppl at uiuc

[vale plover]

oops 😭

[real herald]

I love ntx

[buoyant spindle]

I've met like 3 just randomly

[vale plover]

I probably know a few lol

[real herald]

But not utd

[buoyant spindle]

You probably do

[dim badge]

but I’d rather live in CA than Texas

[spring veldt]

Yeah NTX is goated, but UTD..

[dim badge]

Texas sucks tbh

[real herald]

Ntx is cracked

[dim badge]

and I live near Texas

[vale plover]

pwest 🙏

[real herald]

For college apps

[spring veldt]

I live in like the heart of Dallas

[buoyant spindle]

Texas is fine for job hunting tho

[dim badge]

It’s weird because like

[buoyant spindle]

Like Lowkey UTDs location is good

[vale plover]

honestly i just want to get into UT

[dim badge]

If you apply from North Texas or southeast Texas

It’s gonna be super competitive

[spring veldt]

Oh yeah

[real herald]

Are u auto

[vale plover]

like i dont wanna get my hopes up for stanford/cmu/caltech/stanny

[dim badge]

but if you’re applying from west Texas, you get an advantage

[spring veldt]

I know a bunch of IVY kids that live like 3 streets down from me lol

[dim badge]

because west Texas is as undeveloped as can be

[vale plover]

no i moved between two towns and my rank got recalculated

my old school used to only weight cores, etc.

[real herald]

I'm non auto and got in last week

[spring veldt]

Neither KVD nor I are auto,

[real herald]

[spring veldt]

and we got in

[vale plover]

for CS?

[spring veldt]

McCombs

[real herald]

Ye

[vale plover]

im not even ranked tho...

[real herald]

If ur on here u a sweat

U will be fine

[vale plover]

🙏

[real herald]

Anyways

[vale plover]

ywah my two biggest anxieties are h4 status and rank lol

[real herald]

STANFORD PLEEEASE LET A NTX BOY IN

(Me)

[dim badge]

hater

would you agree with the theory that

[vale plover]

they rejected my friend yesterday 😭

[dim badge]

applying from north Texas and southeast Texas is competitive

but applying from west Texas is kinda advantageous

[vale plover]

i know houston has this school

[real herald]

Idk about se Texas

[vale plover]

strake jesuit

super cracked at debate

[real herald]

But ntx is insaneeee

[vale plover]

yeah ntx is actually insane

[dim badge]

what about west texas

[real herald]

Only behind NJ, NY, socal

And the bay

[spring veldt]

Nah

NOVA

[real herald]

True

[vale plover]

but i mean they practically just imported the most well-qualified people from shanghai and hyderabad and put them into one place

[real herald]

Light shi

[vale plover]

soflo also pretty goated

[dim badge]

wdym by tha

[vale plover]

desert

[real herald]

Ong

[spring veldt]

El Paso

[real herald]

Lol

[spring veldt]

They all go to UTEP

[dim badge]

one of the poorest regions in the country

it’s bad

really bad

[vale plover]

i hate living in north dallas its actually so bleak imo

maybe im just odd tho

[spring veldt]

Dude I'm soooo glad I got McCombs already

[real herald]

Weather sucks

[spring veldt]

It makes the deferral less painful;.

[dim badge]

wdym by this tho

[real herald]

0 comp

[vale plover]

omg

[dim badge]

oh I see

[vale plover]

dfw weather is terrible and so unpredictable

[dim badge]

gl hater

I go to DFW all the time

[real herald]

Nah fr it gave me confidence and less pressure

[dim badge]

and I like it there

but north Dallas sucks out my soul

[real herald]

Ty u as well

[vale plover]

north dfw boys... do you guys say you live in dallas when people ask...

[spring veldt]

i need to write that shit

[real herald]

Lmao

[dim badge]

yeah pretty much

it’s not like the Naperville and Chicago controversy

it’s a definite suburb

[vale plover]

unless ur in fort worth

or arlington

[real herald]

Bro I thought I would have no difficulty picking a college and I'm alr split in December

[dim badge]

Those are a different story yeah

[real herald]

This shit finna be tough

[vale plover]

i went to south dallas once and i think i saw a guy getting mugged 💀

[spring veldt]

Bruh I volunteer in Oak Cliff..

[real herald]

South Dallas ain't great

[vale plover]

yeah my uncle makes me come with him for volunteering there

[real herald]

Ntx suburbs pretty safe

[vale plover]

1 hour drive is rly annoying

[dim badge]

south Dallas is scary

it’s Memphis material

[vale plover]

bro dfw is so bleak because it doesnt actually feel like a city

its just a glob of suburbs

[dim badge]

DFW is a conglomeration of suburbs yeah

[spring veldt]

It's not a city.

[dim badge]

the thing I hate about Texas

is that the culture is kinda universal

the whole cowboys aesthetic

-from someone who lives near tx

[vale plover]

ok but the bay area isnt a city either but it still feels like a city

dfw just feels like endless suburbs with a small bit of downtown

[dim badge]

I will admit

[spring veldt]

It's super spread out

[dim badge]

Downtown Dallas is pretty neat

[spring veldt]

Yeah for sure

[vale plover]

dallas metro museum

[spring veldt]

I live near the Toll Way

[real herald]

I love ntx but

I am tryna leave for college

No utd sorry

[vale plover]

did my humanities project at dma

[dim badge]

For some reason

When I went to Austin

and toured ut

[real herald]

I loved ut

[dim badge]

I just felt so overwhelmed and drained

[vale plover]

utd is fob central 💀 ion fuck with fob hate but at a certain point...

[real herald]

That's masters

Not ug

[vale plover]

no even ug

[zenith tulip]

stanford EECS my beloved

[digital spoke]

It's just CS I think lol

[dim badge]

did u get into gtown?

[real herald]

Yes

[vale plover]

stanford is actually GOATED for having a theoretical cs major

or well theory option within the cs major

still

[native loom]

yo i should apply as a german studies major or some shit

and then go to cs/s

[noble zenith]

nah

most schools won’t let u

[spring veldt]

most will lol

[vale plover]

state schools usually wont let you

privates usually will

in my experience

gtech used to be like that ngl

[jovial bobcat]

research is super underrated in essays, i def think research would be better in this context

[pine rain]

did you get in

[jovial bobcat]

nope

[pine rain]

i think i might write about research in my deferral update form

[jovial bobcat]

are u isef

[pine rain]

in one of these two

[jovial bobcat]

or ieee or other cracked journals

[pine rain]

ieee

[jovial bobcat]

oh thats rlly good

[pine rain]

i haven't published in ieee but ive presnted at conferences

and shit

[jovial bobcat]

wait why would u not write abt it lmao

def write abt it

[pine rain]

there wasn't a good place for me to write about it

except maybe an experience that makes you excited about learning

[jovial bobcat]

or u can modify ur personal statement to make it more research centered

[pine rain]

my personal statement was not about research at all 💀

[jovial bobcat]

i feel like sometimes ppl waste personal statement space on talking abt personal qualities that their recommenders can highlight easily

[pine rain]

i have my professor writing a recommendation letter

[jovial bobcat]

what did u write it on if i may ask?

[pine rain]

obviously not going to disclose all content but the general overview is playing music in retirement homes/hospitals

there are obviously key details im leaving out

[jovial bobcat]

ya ofc thats fine

i mean it def sounds good that u show more humanities side

but on the other hand, perhaps it's better to the aos if u focus on developing a science spike and focus on research/olympiads, and then talking abt the non stem stuff in ur supps

ofc i havent read ur essay so i cant judge

[pine rain]

im actually kinda happy i applied rea even though i got deferred now ngl

cuz i talked about my olympiad experiences in the intellectual experience

and the deferral form gives me an opportunity to talk about research

idk

what do you think

because i had an ieee conference proceedings paper published after i submitted my application and i also won a best paper award

[pine rain]

so i could definitely talk about those in the "Tell us about something you are proud of since you submitted your application."

im definitely not going to get anything published soon

[jovial bobcat]

for me, i talked abt my own self guided research experience and how it culminated to isef. i think mine is a decently strong essay that shows a bunch of qualities, and the aos def pay more attention to the supp responses. but im not so sure if they care as much for the additional questions deferees have to answer, maybe they'll just glance over them like an applicant update

[pine rain]

i can't really change my supplementals now

because they're already locked in in the system

[jovial bobcat]

im not an expert on ieee stuff, but isn't ieee conference on par with publishing ieee? at least to the layperson there doesnt sound to be a huge difference

[pine rain]

yea im saying like

im not going to get another project finished

anytime soon

nor will i present it by 2/15 lol

[jovial bobcat]

yeah that sucks

so what would you have before rd deadline then?

[pine rain]

wdym

like my essays?

they probably would've been the same because i wouldn't have known to chang ethem

in terms of awards they wouldn't change much

[jovial bobcat]

i still think that getting the chance to rewrite the supps - in this case, if someone applied rd - would make the thing better overall. but you got deferred and deferral rate is extremely low (someone from my school last year got deferred -> accepted rd and didnt' have any new achievement in between), so i think you still have a solid chance

[jovial bobcat]

like your achievements

[pine rain]

oh

my achievements didn't change much but i got a best paper award

literally 7 days after i submitted

and i got something officially published 15 days after

[jovial bobcat]

ah

i would talk abt that in the deferral essay then

[pine rain]

there's also standard stuff like i got into all-state orchestra again but like

[pine rain]

yea i dont want to fuck it up again

and with the deferral form i can be more upfront

in terms of just spewing out content

[jovial bobcat]

yeah make it more research focused

but

[pine rain]

because that's literally what it asks for

[jovial bobcat]

just make sure you dont detach from the theme in the rest of ur app

[real herald]

Did both of y’all get deferred

[pine rain]

i dont think i have a theme

💀

[jovial bobcat]

what did u put as for ur future interest?

on the common app

[pine rain]

which was also one of my flaws

[pine rain]

undecided

[jovial bobcat]

that is def a problem

[pine rain]

i think

let me see

[jovial bobcat]

yeah thats a problem

if i were u i'd prob go with researcher

since they need to picture you on campus and what you would do

[pine rain]

yea i guess i just ended up having so much stuff i didn't know what to do

because my extracurriculars don't point to a spike either

i think

[real herald]

I don’t have a spike either

[pine rain]

even though i feel like im pretty good at what i do

[real herald]

I manufactured one

[pine rain]

in each of my extracurriculars

[jovial bobcat]

isnt what u did with the math thingy ec easily connectable with the rest of ur stem profile

[pine rain]

@jovial bobcat do you know my extracurriculars by any chance or nah

[pine rain]

the math competition

?

[jovial bobcat]

no but i can take a look at the full list

[pine rain]

not sure how i would connect it

[jovial bobcat]

not trying to doxx u im just being vague here

[pine rain]

yea ik what ur saying

as long as u dont say the name of it im fine

[jovial bobcat]

lol

[pine rain]

there are a million math competitions out there

ours just happens to be one of the largest high school run ones

[pine rain]

like how would u connect it

im not sure

i just feel like they're totally separate

in terms of interests

maybe this is what i'm doing wrong

[jovial bobcat]

well u might as well just follow the classic formula:
"i like this subject" -> "i want to inspire other people" -> "so i did this to promote this subject"

[pine rain]

it's a different subject though

im not really sure

my research is in engineering

[jovial bobcat]

what major is urs

oh

[pine rain]

civil engineering to be specific

[jovial bobcat]

what kind of eng?

oh

[pine rain]

and environmental engineering

[jovial bobcat]

hmm thats tricky

[pine rain]

yea

[jovial bobcat]

why would you apply as that tho

[pine rain]

nono im saying

my research is in engineering

purdue is an engineering school so i take whatever engineering opportunities i get

[jovial bobcat]

wait hol up

im saying for stanford what major are u applying as

[pine rain]

oh

its very scuffed

im applying like

data science math and physics

[jovial bobcat]

oh

then cant you easily connect it to the math ec then

[pine rain]

like dawg my application is all over the place

[pine rain]

the engineering?

or my major

[jovial bobcat]

yeah i think thats your problem, if you have one focus you'll definitely get in

[pine rain]

yea i think i need to just lock in

[jovial bobcat]

your major

[pine rain]

i can't really do that for stanford anymore

[jovial bobcat]

tie back to your major

always

[pine rain]

but i could also definitely connect my research to my major

because engineering is just applied math

[jovial bobcat]

then be willing to give up stanford, rewrite all your other hypm essays if necessary

[pine rain]

im surprised i didnt get rejected atp tbh

[jovial bobcat]

and even changing ur personal statement works

[pine rain]

stanford deadline is like a month after

[jovial bobcat]

imo, it's bc of ur cracked awards

[pine rain]

do you think sending an update form with more "cracked" stuff would help

[jovial bobcat]

i might just focus a lot on math and then using that to connect everything - ur research, ur ec

[jovial bobcat]

depends on how cracked those stuff are

[pine rain]

just like the ieee publication and best paper award

cuz i got another publication/best paper award after i submitted my application

[jovial bobcat]

that would help yeah

wait but

by publication do you mean accepted to publication

or published

[pine rain]

published

[jovial bobcat]

yeah do include that

also can i see ur full ec list

[pine rain]

yea fs

ill dm you

[jovial bobcat]

u prob can make more connections

with ur other ecs

alr

[dim badge]

this gives me hope

[digital spoke]

Wouldn't say that's a waste

[mental haven]

hi badasses

[mental haven]

Duke acceptance 💀

[trail olive]

[dim badge]

self doxx so i have to delete

[digital spoke]

damn

this channel feels dead now 😭

[rough lark]

we all got rejected 😢

[trail olive]

bc it kinda is

ill probably be lurking in the mit thread more often now

[digital spoke]

🥲

[trail olive]

youll probably get an influx of rd applicants soon dw

[neon peak]

someone is calling me

[harsh sentinel]

dw ill be here for rd

im practically done with stanforf essays just waiting on my uchicago decision if i get in ill submit stanford if not I'll redo my common app

[icy geyser]

why would you redo it. just curious

[harsh sentinel]

im not a huge fan of it but for early apps it was too late to change so i just submitted it but like if i don't get into my early schools it further confirms my idea that my common app sucks

[icy geyser]

lol okay

[mental haven]

i’m in the same place w mine

[dim badge]

i'll be back here in feb when i'm writing my loci

[thin owl]

Thats great, but I think you should write it about something else even better. lets talk in dms

[deft moss]

hii guys

any essay tips for RD : )

[mental haven]

hi guys

can anyone help me with wording my descriptions for my activities

and awards

i haven’t gotten any help and feel like i need to reword before RD

[dapper gale]

Consistent theme throughout your essays - mine was public health for ex and every single one of my essays somehow connected back to it. But don’t force it if you can’t figure out a way to include your “theme”

[deft moss]

tyy

[dim badge]

i got deferred but this is what i did as well

[pine rain]

i did not do this

probably why i got deferred

[trail olive]

Billert make sure you do a portfolio (probably research for you- I'm doing that one) for mit

[pine rain]

yea im def doing that

[trail olive]

It's great bc most students doing "research" don't and for the kids who did there's a spot to go in depth abt it

[mental haven]

can someone read my activity/ award descriptions and tell me if they’re bad

[real herald]

Sure

[real herald]

no one from my school has ever gotten into stanford

💀

[mental haven]

same

does anyone know how to do redox reactions

[real herald]

I wish lmao 😭

Our last ivy was like 2018

[hushed marsh]

anyone of yall math nerds wanna help me with my stats hw

[naive plinth]

sure

[jade narwhal]

Mid ass school, Princeton on top 🔝

[foggy mauve]

Princeton is old money east Stanford

Well Stanford is old money but Princeton is older money

[jade narwhal]

Stanford is filled with furries and cs majors who don’t shower😒

Technically Berkely is filled with cs majors who don’t shower too tho

But instead of furries, it’s homeless people

[foggy mauve]

Stanford definitely more major diverse than that

[foggy mauve]

we have both

We have a very vibrant furry club

I have considered joining but alas

[jade narwhal]

😨

[foggy mauve]

It is an expensive lifestyle choice

[jade narwhal]

I see it

[foggy mauve]

Pretty good connections though

[harsh sentinel]

yes

[mental haven]

ooo

wait

guys

ok so i was supposed to have a test on thursday

but i started getting flu symptoms on Wednesday night

and i have the flu

i woke up early to see if i still feel bad and i do

should i email my teacher and tell her this

[digital spoke]

Yeah

[mental haven]

i did it

thanks guys

[spring mist]

submit a 1460?

[compact igloo]

are you an intl student?

[spring mist]

I have grades to partially back it up but my SAT backs up my English grades

[spring mist]

nah

[compact igloo]

then ye

[spring mist]

also my extracurriculars and essays will carry🔥🔥

[spring mist]

for the 50 worder "List 5 things important to you" did anyone mention family or do you think they know that's a given

[dim badge]

i did kinda but through the form of an object

[wintry delta]

you could possibly get rejected for no reason at all

holistic admissions is just like that sometimes

[rigid kayak]

I didn't mention family

tbh i memed 2/5 of the answers

idk if they liked that

or if i got in despite that

[pine rain]

My family take:

1. My brother and my husband.
2. My sister and my wife.
3. My mother and my grandmother.
4. My father and my grandfather.
5. Unity. Yes, every item above is in fact one entity. They refer to the same thing.

@rigid kayak thoughts

this is obviously a joke

[flint umbra]

for this essay: The Stanford community is deeply curious and driven to learn in and out of the classroom. Reflect on an idea or experience that makes you genuinely excited about learning.*

[rigid kayak]

easy admit

[flint umbra]

idk how to relate it to how i became excited ab learning

in my essay i talked about public health and talking to mdidle schoolers about serious issues and how it made me realize that i wanted to study this subject and do more community work, but i never mention how it made me excited ab learning

how should i mention this

[pine rain]

https://tenor.com/view/theres-always-room-for-family-family-first-family-is-important-theres-always-time-for-family-household-gif-16055741

*in your relationships /j

[rigid kayak]

you can take the prompt more liberally

[flint umbra]

wdym

[rigid kayak]

i think this is what they are getting at

what they want to see is ur curiosity and desire to learn

cause thats why you go to college

[flint umbra]

ok, but most of the essay i focus on the story then i include a brief reflection, is this ok?

that makes sense, thanks

[rigid kayak]

you shouldn't have to say "wow that made me excited about learning"

you want to convey it through word choice, diction, writing basically

you want the AO to read it and go

wow, I want to experience that too

[flint umbra]

ok, can the essay focus on a field that stanford doesnt offer?

im applying public policy but the essay focuses on pub health

[rigid kayak]

i'd try to tie it in if possible

[pine rain]

stanford has public health

[rigid kayak]

they're also trying to evaluate fit with the essay

[pine rain]

does it not

[rigid kayak]

its offered through STS i think?

ye

https://majors.stanford.edu/majors/science-technology-and-society

so ur fine

just apply this instead

if public health is what u wanna do

[spring mist]

im doing this unfortunately (fortunately)

I've given up on MIT obsessing Stanford obsessing is my new best friend

[rigid kayak]

get in bro

[spring mist]

ma'am yes ma'am

ai spongebob is going to carry me frfr

genuinely such a godly extracurricular

[muted sage]

thats silly

[dim badge]

ive given up on stanford obsessing over princeton

[spring mist]

250,000,000 views and almost getting sued to death is silly indeed

[spring mist]

I love giving up hope on a college and then obsessing over another

[muted sage]

do i have to go back to gen chat with the silly role joke

[spring veldt]

we all are

[muted sage]

does it not work here

[spring mist]

da huh

[muted sage]

ive been giving random people colors

and i thought calling u silly would get u to acknowledge it

lmfao

for server anniversary

[spring mist]

lmfao sorry i am like 53% blind to references

[pine rain]

stanford is the best school ever

i want to clutch up so bad

[spring mist]

also yellow suits me nice I think

[pine rain]

but i dont know if it can happen

[spring mist]

mit used to be the best school ever but they deferred me so now they're the second best school ever

[pine rain]

stanford deferred me

but at least they didn't reject me

it's still my top choice

[spring mist]

real talk stanford kids only uncle grandpa was chill as hell why did we collectively hate him

[pine rain]

what does this mean

[spring mist]

uncle grandpa

the show

he was chill af and everyone hated him for what

also Stanford really likes accepting kids that are insane extracurricular wildcards right

just making sure

[flint umbra]

how did yall start the stanford roomate essay

[pine rain]

Dear Future Roomate,

[flint umbra]

is hey roomie too informal for an essay like this?

[pine rain]

i dont know

probably not too informal

but i dont write like that

hey roomie sounds like slay queen typa vibe to me

[cunning basin]

"wsp slime"

[pine rain]

"wassup my fellow top g, can't wait to hustle with you this year at the academic equivalent of hustler's university!"

[spring mist]

so like are future roommates gonna read it or what

[spring mist]

"what the FUCK is up bitch"

[cunning basin]

"whats crackalackin big dawg, im so stoked to be here"

[spring mist]

"WAZAHHHHHHHHH"

[cunning basin]

“Hello, hello? Uh... I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um... I actually worked in that office before you. I'm...finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact, so... ..I know it can be a bit overwhelming. But I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week, okay?

Uh, let's see. First there's an introductory greeting from the company, that I'm supposed to read. Uh, i-it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or a person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon as property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.

Blah blah blah. Now that might sound bad, I know. But there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here... ..do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect. Right? Okay.

So just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh... something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was "The Bite of '87." Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?

Uh now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours, probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll [p- they'll] most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to... ..forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um... now that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort... ..and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh.

Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night. ”

[spring mist]

dude

so like do future roommates read the roommate essay or what

[cunning basin]

idk

[rigid kayak]

nah

oh lmao

i didn't have an intro

[foggy mauve]

It is fine

[pine rain]

"Dear Future Roommate,

I can’t stop fucking thinking about five nights at Freddy’s. Every morning when I wake up and I walk to the fridge to get milk with my cereal, I scream “FIVE NIGHTS A FREDDYS” at every single thing in the fridge. This has stopped me from leaving my room to eat. Whenever I look at my lap top I scream “SECURITY GUARD” really loudly. It’s been 5 months and 12 days since I last left my room. Whenever I try to talk to someone, even through messages I start singing or texting them “AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR AR” I’m going insane. I can’t close my eyes without seeing the animatronics. Whenever I see something slightly related to five nights at Freddy’s I have a seizure, my mouth singing the fnaf toon, while my body shakes on the ground, froth coming out of my mouth oh shit I’m gonna have aseisvbrjdjjsgxm Fbfyjzifhhdyfhjdhsusgtwtafzgsywtxgbsuwhdbxbhhhdhdudydydhdhffhhrurjwiesuueiejeheheheueghehwbdheuesjdhdjhdeuureteeywuehddhhhhhhhhfhfdhdhksishcjeksiwywjshdndb jaiakwkwjejdhxjdjsidqqqejjelqoqwoqwsijxfhjrjdhdkdhdhf Okay don’t worry my seizure finished.

[rigid kayak]

and i just ended mine with

[foggy mauve]

Do what you want with the roommate essay it's just a screen for weirdos

[cunning basin]

😭

[spring mist]

is anything stopping me from putting all my essays into binary so I can reach that beautiful 3 word count essay

[pine rain]

rejection?

[spring mist]

I'll just supply reject their rejection letter?

[pine rain]

"Dear Future Roommate,

Hello everybody my name is Markiplier and welcome to Five Nights at Freddies, an indie horror game that you guys suggested in mass, and I saw that Yamimash played it and he said that it was really really good; so I’m very eager to see what is up - and that is a terrifying animatronic bear reads off script family pizzeria looking for security guard to work the night shift.

That’s a creepy skull...There’s creepy things on the wall - Oh, hello. Phone Guy begins dialogue "

[wintry delta]

your employment at frederick fazbender's pizzeria has been terminated

[spring mist]

stanford should really consider leaving 100 spaces left in their class to let people from every state fight to the death for the remaining spots

I think that would be a good way to make the optional college class

[pine rain]

"Hey Roomie!

My mum (82F) told me (17M) to do the dishes (16) but I (17M) was too busy playing Fortnite (3 kills) so I (17M) grabbed my controller (DualShock 4) and threw it at her (138kph). She fucking died, and I (17M) went to prison (18 years). While in prison I (17M) incited several riots (3) and assumed leadership of a gang responsible for smuggling drugs (cocaine) into the country. I (17M) also ordered the assassination of several celebrities (Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Jeffrey Epstein) and planned a terrorist attack (9/11). Roomie, AITA?

[cunning basin]

Dear Roomie,

I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man? How's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Bonnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man
I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was phat
Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

[pine rain]

Hey Roomie,

Let me rap some bars with you. I know ALL the curse words my mommy disapproves us which means we can make a BANGER ass song. Looking forward to collaborate with you on Spotify.

[jovial bobcat]

YO wazz goodies top G,

How much can you bench? How many pushups can you do? Less than 10k? You are weak. I bet you didn't write a research paper on Gender Equality with Dr. Andrew Tate, like me frfr. What color is your bugatti? You don't have one? That's what I thought.

Also, get rid of that vape pen. BREATHE AIR.

[dim badge]

stanford deferred me too so they're my opps

they're federals

mfs must NK or russia to defer the president of the usa

[solid steeple]

Isn’t this like a history major or am I wrong

[dim badge]

tbh you should do this with most of the prompts

[merry river]

lol no. i mentiined quirky things that included personal hobbies and ecs and just random things.

[merry river]

yes thats informal but they like informal esp for these types of essays. i said roomie in the beginning too and it worked out for me

[muted sage]

slay top stanford yappers

[real herald]

Nooo just outside the top 5

[muted sage]

not rejected being in the top words

[muted sage]

you win the stanford thread for most amount of instances of saying "bro"

[merry river]

huh interesting. i feel like i talk a lot

[muted sage]

rip

[muted sage]

you have 345 messages

as of me pulling the data

[real herald]

Damn bro

[muted sage]

which was like 10 mins ago

it gives out some random stats

like pikachu and joshy have participated in 24 conversations in this thread together

and brandon has started 62 conversations in here

[harsh sentinel]

broski you haven't even applied yet

[real herald]

Ye but im chronically online

So I expected better

[pine rain]

idk if im the top

[muted sage]

It separates the words

So “reject” “rejected” are separate I think

Unlike discord search

[digital spoke]

LOL

[digital spoke]

Let's go, first behind the mods 💪💪💪

[flint umbra]

ahhh finished my roomate essay!!!!

i love it SMMM

[rigid kayak]

yea def

[rigid kayak]

its like stem + history kinda

it has public health focus

[dim badge]

omg yes top five

[dim badge]

the sad thing is most of these guys are dead now /s

[real herald]

Finally stopped procrastinating my stanford supps

Here goes nothing

🤞

[digital spoke]

[deft sleet]

Maybe that will be me

Maybe

[dim badge]

Same

Still plenty of time tho

[worldly pagoda]

Dawg 💀

[dim badge]

i'm one of them as well

[dim badge]

Well

There’s a New Hope

[dim badge]

bro think this is star wars

it is

ed was revenge of the Sith

you’re yoda

Idk who tf I am

[dim badge]

i thought yoda died

and uhhh

no this is after episode iii

i'm technically still in the running

episode iii or Ed was the imperial empire taking over

true

what does that make me then

[dim badge]

i'm the mandalorian

ok ok

Chloe is Yoda

[dim badge]

rey

[dim badge]

billert is yoda

canonically, that’s great for me

personality wise, that’s fucking disgusting

[dim badge]

what about that converted storm trooper guy

finn

yea

wait who’s Luke skywalker

[dim badge]

salami

yeah

have they applied yet

he got in

bro wtf

I didn’t know that

so then I’m Rey

Congrats to salami tho

they introduced me to the forbidden Stanford word list

[real herald]

Whos me

I am who

[dim badge]

finn

oh god my server profile is back

[real herald]

Aight

[rigid kayak]

tbh its just a suggestion

i think its for their own website

cause they gotta be more stricti

or all the news sites r gonna be publishing headline after headline

[pine rain]

they got rid of it

[rigid kayak]

lmao

its def just private now

[vale plover]

stannyrhea (stanford REA)

[austere folio]

we need a real UC Palo Alto campus, US population is increasing but seats at colleges are staying the same

[foggy mauve]

They would never fucking allow that

And for good reason

[chrome sapphire]

Def not stanford avg is like 1510

[pine rain]

for submitted scores lol

as long as you're in the 25th - 75th %-ile you should be fine

[chrome sapphire]

That's still lower quartile for sure

[pine rain]

yea you right

go test optional

stanford is test optional

[rare herald]

yeah i am definetely going test optional here😂

[dim badge]

Test optional won’t hurt you this year trust

[rough lark]

yeah it wont hurt but i'm sure like a 1570+ would help a bit

[rough lark]

what do you all think about the middle 50% stats like these with test optional? like every school's stats basically went up

like a 1530 would be above median before, but now it's below median

[deft sleet]

ngaf submit

[rough lark]

lol already rejected

[deft sleet]

RIP. wasnt the SAT

[rough lark]

yeah i know, especially cuz i had the 800 math. it was more like they took 2 others from my school, i didn't have all A's, and was hella unhooked, and probably wasnt compelling enough

[pine rain]

i dont think stanford really cares about the sat that much tbh

like

[deft sleet]

honestly if u have a 1500+ i dont know why you woudlnt submit

[pine rain]

they said they were test optional

[deft sleet]

their loss

[rough lark]

i think stanford is huge on all A's though even though they might not care much about SAT

like admitium the former stanford AO said that even 10 years ago like you basically needed all A's to get into Stanford, and those who got in without all A's were almost always hooked in some way

[dim badge]

that makes sense

thats why i think i got deferred

my grades are subpar

i also went test optional so that probably didnt help either

[rough lark]

yeah like if you check their common data set it's like 70% have 4.0 unweighted

and there are also a lot of d1 athletes, legacies, and other people with hooks that probabaly make up a majority of the kids with 30% no 4.0 unweighted

so if you're unhooked you basically need a 4.0

it's one big reason why i think even though i think i could score a 1 in EC, I got rejected

sucks for rigorous schools though, not all A's are created equal

[rare herald]

fr this is a venting channel

[rough lark]

ye fr

well at least you got deferred, i got rejected

did you get those b's in 10th?

[rare herald]

hooked applicants?? what do they need

[dim badge]

yes i got a c in 10th

but i had really "good" extentuating circumstances

[rare herald]

yeah i got a C in 9th grade. covid era bb

[rough lark]

ur ecs must've been crazy then if you still got a defer

[rare herald]

no he had legitimate reasons for his grades slipping

[dim badge]

it could've been for something else completely but i think that it has something to do with it

[rare herald]

wondering if my sister got deferred bc of her grades

not from stanford

[rough lark]

from where

[rare herald]

yale (20 percent deferal rate)

[foggy mauve]

Ik you’re cracked but I’m certain that you didn’t

[rare herald]

essays are why people get rejected

[rough lark]

oh ok, yale defer is like in between schools like stanford who are highly conservative on defers, and schools like harvard/mit who defer everyone and only reject the clearly not qualified

[foggy mauve]

In most cases no

[foggy mauve]

For the essays comment

[rare herald]

no its one reason

[rough lark]

well the 2 b's certainly hurt a lot

[rare herald]

i mean its 20 percent. so it means something.

[dim badge]

did you get a B junior year?

[foggy mauve]

An essay not being up to par isn’t the reason everyone is rejected

The admit class don’t have this ultra special set of essays

[rare herald]

obvs no😭 i didnt say this

[rough lark]

yea both in junior year, 1 per semester. but it's a competitive school, and my weighted is like still in the top 5% but we dont rank so yea

[rare herald]

i said it could be one reason why someone is rejected

[dim badge]

i was able to get all As junior year in 6 aps + calc 3 so i think it definitely helped my case

[rare herald]

i dont think this is bad

[foggy mauve]

I mean it sure could be

[dim badge]

i think it depends on the class

[rough lark]

yea that's good it shows that ur weaker 10th grades were actually cuz of those reasons, and that you can still handle the work

[foggy mauve]

But if you’re not being a dumbass/insensitive/dry/bad at writing it’s hardly ever the reason

Stanford screening for grades is more about consistency than if you can handle the work

A good amount of the applicants can handle the work

[rare herald]

ok i am a hs senior so idk much abt admissions but they do look at getting good grades in major-related classes. if you have a B in english for 2 semesters but you are majoring in cs it softens the blow fs.

[foggy mauve]

Maybe between two to three times the size of the incoming class

[dim badge]

yea thats what im thinking too

i did good so they probably wanna see if im consistent

[foggy mauve]

And also their incoming class is small they need ways to slim it down

[rare herald]

yeah probably

[dim badge]

luckily i clutched up, maybe one B in lit (which we dont even know if it is a B and could still be an A) but that's all

[rare herald]

yeah i'm still waiting for my calc grade but idk if my prof is gonna round an 89.4. so ur lucky😂

[foggy mauve]

You have the liberty to be extremely picky when you’re choosing 1 in 25 people and the people you choose join you at a rate over 80%

[rare herald]

yeah

[dim badge]

i believe in you

[rare herald]

admissions sucks

[dim badge]

you should become an AO bro

[foggy mauve]

Lol I hope not

[dim badge]

imma try to become an AO straight after college tbh

[foggy mauve]

My biggest mistake in HS was just trying to get As instead of indexing for the highest possible grades in each of my classes

[dim badge]

work 4 years at penn is the goal and get an MBA at wharton while expanding its lacking multicultural programs

[foggy mauve]

All of the straight As ppl I know had comfortable 95+ As

Dk why that didn’t tell me anything about losing points

[rare herald]

i'd love to work in admissions but not for like the reading purposes maybe for like multicultural recruitment/QB if they allow a non-QB'er learn more

[rough lark]

i think peteymit said like 300 people applied for his job at MIT, so AO jobs at top schools are very hard to get

[dim badge]

i wanna do both bc the only way to truly advocate for diverse voices is to be able to be able to resonate, understand, and translate them imo

[foggy mauve]

When the grade bins are that tight it is more about how much you can lose instead of how much you can earn

[rare herald]

ik washu is a part of the STARS college access network so i'd love to do outreach for students in rural communities if i go there

[rare herald]

hmmm this is a good point.

[foggy mauve]

At least at my school my intro CS class allowed you to miss 10 points for an A

[foggy mauve]

This is less than a single question on a midterm

Of course the midterms didn’t have many questions

Maybe eight each

But yeah if you blank you’re fucked

[real herald]

He is cracked im p sure

Also hooked

Who pinged

[rough lark]

hooked is nice

if you think about it after you take away the spots for athletes, legacies, donors, urm, fgli, feeder school, there's not that many spots left for unhooked people

[foggy mauve]

Lmao look at our piece of shit Professor

This guy is like 23 but they hired him because we need more teachers

[pine rain]

It’s kind of shit but at the same time can’t you just simplify

That way you get guaranteed points

I agree their reasoning is bullshit

[foggy mauve]

Yeah it would be fair if they had consistently marked off points for not simplifying

[dim badge]

Stanford doesn’t consider freshman grades, but same

If Stanford wants all A’s

Will an 89 kill me?

[rare herald]

No

[dim badge]

Ok muy bien

my extenuating circumstance is that I took a shit ton of APs my senior year

don’t know if that counts but hopefully they take into account that rigor

everywhere else I got an A so I’d say I did fine

[rough lark]

they do though, they just don't calculate it into their SU6 recalculated gpa

they see and consider all your grades because they get your full transcript, including freshman year

[dim badge]

Okay so I should definitely explain why I got that C in the additional info

[rough lark]

idk depends on the situation

also i mean that they'll see and consider freshman year

but not sure like if they're valued less than 10th and 11th grades though

[dim badge]

I’m sure they know it was Covid year

so hopefully they’ll be lax

[dim badge]

Ykw

I don’t thing Stanford has as big of an emphasis on grades actually

The A’s thing was 10 years ago

[floral relic]

what about sophomore year? I'm not sure if getting covid multiple times in a semester would also count as extenuating. For me, it was harder in-person than online because of that.

[trail olive]

um

[dim badge]

And the GPA and SAT composites are lower on average

For those admitted

We’ll be fine.

Like I said

These are the most holistic lads out there

They’re looking for more than grades

[dim badge]

Yeah but that’s with cumulative

[trail olive]

3.95 average

[dim badge]

And for tier 1

That’s pretty low

What does 3.95 translate to 100 point scale?

[trail olive]

there is no way youre saying a 3.95/4 is LOW

[dim badge]

For a tier 1 school it is

Others have like an average of 4.1

[trail olive]

unweighted.

[dim badge]

what’s a 3.95 on the 100 point scale?

@trail olive

[trail olive]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ive never needed to convert

whats your gpa

[dim badge]

97 unweighted

Cumulative

100 weighted

Cumulative

[trail olive]

i dont see why youre worrying about it

this statistic alone should be enough to convince you

theyre not looking for perfection

[dim badge]

Isn’t 97 unweighted above that tho

[trail olive]

ill be completely real i have no clue
probably
it demonstrates you can handle the academic courseload at your school with the classes you take

[dim badge]

Also I’m trying to say is that they don’t care if it’s strictly A’s

[trail olive]

yeah

[dim badge]

They probably look at the cumulative more than anything

[trail olive]

they look at your course rigor moreseo than gpa

tbf

[dim badge]

yeah

Is 10 APs

rigor

ours

[trail olive]

are you saying youve taken 10 aps and are wondering if its enough?

it all depends

[dim badge]

Yeah

Would that be considered rigorous

[trail olive]

yeah

literally

[dim badge]

ok

[trail olive]

youre fine

dw about it
