But then i wouldnt have written my intellect essay the way i did
So nvm
Hoping for rd ig
merry river
But u rea to Stanford?
i applied as a humanities major and ik of the hypsm schools stanford was the most lacking in humanities majors so ik they would be more inclined to accept me
thats the main reason why i applied rea there and not H or Y
and i guess it worked out for me
real herald
Yea thats not why u got in
You got in bc you are fucking cracked
Stanford doesnt admit by major

You got in bc you are fucking cracked
noo im not cracked actually.

Good essays then?
I mean u did something right obviously
Its holistic

they do take into account your major lol. these schools also say they dont take into race and they do that too soo like dont take what they say by face value lmao

Honestly it doesnt mattrr too much ig
Just go wherever you like best
Career outcome will be similar at these kinds of schools
If you apply yourself
Im just biased for stanford bc its basically my top choice
I mean maybe 2nd choice
Not top
merry river
ohh but i highly doubt that many people apply to stanford as a linguistics major so def stood out in that way. but i had really good essays so that might be it
also i was moderately cracked
but i came from a rural uncompetitive school which might have made my achievements look more than they were

inst what
isnt
a poop head
cause it depends on your regional ao
how would you know that from a linkedin
they read ur stuff first
they can be a young dude
or an old guy
that doesnt mean anything
ok true
young people can be mean
age don’t matter
old people can be nice
but still
look
still what
my academic profile may be mid
but i gotta say
more than 1 person reads ur application
i wrote very compelling essays

more than 1 person reads ur application

or like theres a reader then ur regional ao
Ok well that’s good
but yeah
academic profile mid

3 for legacy

also i think my regional ao is a vsco girl straight out of college 💀

so it’s two then your regional ao
well idk how it works
ik some have initial prescreening readers

but my essays are compelling
you have a high gpa
you'll be alr
dim badge
but my essays are compelling
i think from what salami was speculating was that the reader gives the regional ao a recommendation actually
that's why the 2nd reader and 1st reader tend to have the same opinions cuz the 2nd reader sees the 1st's opinion

i dont see top 5% really being a deal breaker lmao
you'll be okay bruh
if you get rejected it's prob not gonna be bc of ur gpa

cuz they’ll do the math
or am I wrong

what would this thing be then?
like 3.5 and lower territory, but even then it's not a deal breaker bc there are 3.4s who get in
lower than that is rough though

no like
other than gpa
they look at it holistically
what would be thing that gets me rejected
Writing and ecs
dim badge
what would be thing that gets me rejected
could be a variety of things
but probably spiv and ecs
what if my EC’s don’t all point in one direction
