Stanford University (2023-2024)

[grave wedge]

they dont care about my SAT?

i have a 1540

[slate cloud]

I think grad is pretty hard lol

[grave wedge]

i feel like thats hella low tho

[slate cloud]

Hmmm I have 1510 SAT :))

Pretty insecure

But

[grave wedge]

whatttt

shitt

[slate cloud]

It doesn't matter

[grave wedge]

thats crazy

i thought average was like 1590 lol

[dim badge]

@grave wedge that’s good but they’re placing considerably less weight on standardized tests this year

[slate cloud]

Yeah I'm wayyyy below average lol

[stone mural]

Yalll

[grave wedge]

yea ig thats good but everything is just on essays then

[dim badge]

p much

[remote flame]

CRUMPETS

[elfin coral]

the average was like 1480 once might have been 2022

[grave wedge]

and ur academic standard

[slate cloud]

I mean idk for the next few years they might put tests again but a person in my school also got into Stanford this year and went test option I think the ACT is pretty low

[dim badge]

yeah but some B’s are fine

[grave wedge]

breo its stanford

they literally told me they look for all As

[dim badge]

exactly

[grave wedge]

in an admission meeting

[dim badge]

they care about IV

[slate cloud]

I mean ig if you're above 1500 you're good cause squeezing a more points I don't think it matters as much if you just spend that time for essays

[dim badge]

Maybe 10 years ago

[grave wedge]

like the virtual admission sessions

[slate cloud]

Yeah that's why I got rejected Caltech lmao I'm not smart enough for them 💀

[dim badge]

AO’s said they look for all A’s

[grave wedge]

no like literally last yr

[dim badge]

?

[grave wedge]

yea

like high GPA

[slate cloud]

I have 3 B's

[grave wedge]

and specifically all Ass

[slate cloud]

Freshman year only tho

[dim badge]

I have an 89 senior year

[stone mural]

Wadergate saladdd

[grave wedge]

they dont count those

lol

stanford doesn't count freshman

[remote flame]

Bruh I’ve never said that ever idk what that is😫😫

[grave wedge]

i should've known that in like 9th grade lol

[slate cloud]

Yeah I think so that's why I'm off the hook lol cause those are the only B's I have

[grave wedge]

would've taken ap chem and ap physics then itself

[stone mural]

Just search that shi up 💀 gonna have u traumatised

[grave wedge]

yea u got a 4.0 then

[remote flame]

I like British all jokes aside. Y’all got Harry Styles

[slate cloud]

I mean a 3.9 yeah

[stone mural]

Who doesn’t like us 💂‍♀️💂‍♀️

[grave wedge]

also whatmajor did u apply

CS?

[slate cloud]

And I'm taking 9 classes Senior year tho my school only allows 8 classes but I take more on the side 💀

Pretty dumb

[stone mural]

Ong we need some patriotic animal like the americans

[slate cloud]

Asian Studies

[grave wedge]

damn

i applied CS

so thats why I'm done lol

its over for me

[slate cloud]

3.954 specifically

Lol I was jk

I applied Symbolic Systems

[grave wedge]

wtf is that

engineering?

[slate cloud]

It's similar to CS

But like a more interdisciplinary thing

[grave wedge]

broo

[slate cloud]

Because I feel like it's easier to talk about in the essays

[grave wedge]

thats the way to get into stanford

[slate cloud]

About philosophy and stuff

[grave wedge]

rip

[slate cloud]

And combine that with CS

[dim badge]

@grave wedge am I fucked with an 89

[grave wedge]

yeah its interdisciplinary with less ppl as well still hella har

[slate cloud]

Cause I wanna do AI but I talk about the philosophical side of AI

[grave wedge]

*hard

but not as competitive as direct CS major?

[grave wedge]

major?

[dim badge]

AP stats, my major is aerospace engineering

[slate cloud]

Yeah I think so maybe

[dim badge]

I got an A in AP calculus

[slate cloud]

I mean I heard that you're applying to the school

So your major shouldn't matter

But idk tho

[grave wedge]

oh damn thats noice

[dim badge]

The 89 is AP stats

[grave wedge]

but like ngl for aerospace u can go to Purdue

its top 3 ull get the same job

[dim badge]

But I got an a in AP calculus

[grave wedge]

and research opportunities

[dim badge]

so will the 89 fuck me over

[slate cloud]

Yeah

[grave wedge]

and its much easier to get in

[slate cloud]

I mean prob not

(hopefully)

[dim badge]

ik but I don’t like Indiana

[slate cloud]

I mean if you essays carried tho

[grave wedge]

lol valid

its hella cold

[slate cloud]

Cause I know my essays def carried my stats are hella suck

[grave wedge]

but if u dont get into stanford and other ivys consider their program

did u apply purdue?

[dim badge]

Nah

I just didn’t like Indiana

I got into stony brook tho

[grave wedge]

any publics?

like UIUC

[dim badge]

I also didn’t like Illinois

[grave wedge]

GTech?

atlanta is warm

[dim badge]

I also didn’t like Atlanta 💀

[grave wedge]

bro u don't like to live anywhere?

lol

[dim badge]

I do

I just happened to not like those three spots

I also got into mines

[grave wedge]

lmaooo

[dim badge]

I should’ve applied to boulder

But I didn’t

They’re good too

[grave wedge]

u like boulder??

[dim badge]

Yes

[grave wedge]

but not illinois?

[dim badge]

bro boulder is literally denver

how can you say no to Denver

mountains

skiing

[grave wedge]

but its cold af

[dim badge]

yk

[grave wedge]

same as illinois

[dim badge]

ehhh

true

[grave wedge]

in illinois u have fricking chicago

[dim badge]

but yea anyway do you think an 89 will be damning for my case

[grave wedge]

mb

if ur essays are fire

but im no Ao lol i cant tell

[dim badge]

I see

[dim badge]

also Chicago is amazing

I used to@think Chicago was trash

but I visited and loved it

[grave wedge]

did u then apply

like to unis there?

northwestern

[dim badge]

I was gonna do northwestern

but their second prompt threw me the fuck off

the hand on the rock thingy

like what was I supposed to put

[grave wedge]

lol true

its expensive AF anyways

and its not good for engnienering like other pubclis

[dim badge]

The schools I should’ve applied to were:

northwestern

boulder

DEFINITELY Columbia

But those prompts were freaking smoking crack

[grave wedge]

uiuc^

yeah they sucked

[dim badge]

Champaigne doesn’t exist

[grave wedge]

but like ngl i think u couldve been chill with uiuc

[grave wedge]

why

ur like 2 hours from chicag

[dim badge]

One sec

If it was in like Naperville or Rockford maybe

but that’s just in the middle of no where atp

[grave wedge]

yea but its a college town

like Umich

everything u need is there

[dim badge]

ehh true

Ann Arbor is nice

[grave wedge]

yea its study study

[dim badge]

I applied umich

[grave wedge]

but still

[grave wedge]

bet

then go there

[dim badge]

if I get in that’ll be a strong consideration

[grave wedge]

oh r u defer?

[dim badge]

no

rd

[grave wedge]

oh damn thatd be hard then

ngl the move should've been to REA stanford

[dim badge]

REA and RD rates are the same for Stanford

plus RD benefitted me

I got to show course rigor in my final year

[grave wedge]

valid

but didn't it bring ur gpa down

[dim badge]

no

I went up with like 5 more APs

I just happened to get an 89

[slate cloud]

Wait I thought they let you choose?

[dim badge]

I don’t remember

I just remember thinking yeah I’m not trying that

Because when I answer prompts

I either do so meaningfully or not at all

[slate cloud]

Hmmm cause I didn't even answer the rock thing prompt

[dim badge]

I don’t do it just to get by

[slate cloud]

Either it's optional or it's by choice

[alpine swallow]

No like the school is in Spain not the uk lol

[dim badge]

Weird maybe I should’ve double checked

[slate cloud]

And I only have 1 supplemtal for Northwestern

[dim badge]

Dude ngl

[slate cloud]

But yeah I remember that they have that prompt

But I didn't have it

[dim badge]

Your pfp looks like a dude i used to know

[slate cloud]

So maybe I just didn't choose it

[slate cloud]

Lmao it's an AI picture of my

Look pretty like me lol

[dim badge]

Nice

[slate cloud]

Maybe you know me

[dim badge]

Nah

[slate cloud]

Or I'm just Asian 👀

[dim badge]

He was Hispanic

Very short

[remote flame]

Cap

[slate cloud]

Lol okay

[dim badge]

always ate hot pockets

poked his nose

I’m sure that’s not you

[slate cloud]

Oh really? I didn't know that

[dim badge]

Yea

[slate cloud]

I mean my application would be wayyyy stronger with RD

[dim badge]

Yeah

[slate cloud]

But nah I didn't know they have the same acceptance rate

I thought REA was higher, no?

Or it's just cause they're recruited athletes

[dim badge]

yeah but adjust it to the comp.

it’s basically the same

[slate cloud]

Yeah ig cause like the people who applied REA know that they have a good chance getting in

So it's like a pool of all the people who know what they're doing plus they finished their application early ig so maybe that's also why the acceptance rate is higher for REA and also recruited athletes too

[alpine swallow]

Bruh those schools exist. Look it up

[dim badge]

@slate cloud also have you been to Cambodia

random ass question

but I’m just curious

[slate cloud]

No I haven't been anywhere besides Vietnam and US lol

Cause I'm broke lmao

But why though?

Would you recommend me to go if I have a chance?

[dim badge]

Heck yeah

It’s pretty poor but it’s really cool

I’ve only been to Mexico and the USA tho

Cause I have family that lives in Mexico

[slate cloud]

Okay got the recommendation 👍

Until I have money to travel the world 😭

[slate cloud]

Yeah so 2 countries same as me then lol

I'm thinking of doing studying abroad cause Stanford they have that program but still don't know where I should go

[dim badge]

Same

Especially the one in NYC

[slate cloud]

I'm thinking of Oxford cause I might have a chance to meet Ali Abdaal 💀

Big simp

Or he's a digital nomad now so he might not be there when I do tho

[dim badge]

He seems interesting

[slate cloud]

I mean I wanna go out of this country lol cause I can go to NYC

But it's rare to have a chance to go to Oxford

[dim badge]

I just really like NYC

[slate cloud]

I think we'll have the opportunity to study and University of Oxford or something

And I LOVE University of Oxford

[dim badge]

Ten different countries is crazy

[slate cloud]

Yeah

But I feel like Oxford seems to be the coolest

Maybe then New York

Kyoto is good too

Too many options darn it

[dim badge]

I wanna see New York, Madrid and Santiago

I wish it was Tokyo instead of Kyoto tbh

man I’m talking like I’m already admitted 😝

[slate cloud]

Lol I mean

That's what I did too lmao

[elfin coral]

all expenses paid?

[dim badge]

Hopefully

My ass is poor

[slate cloud]

I bought $70 worth of Stanford merch before I got in (I'm low-income btw so I ain't rich) so I'm a huge simp :v

[elfin coral]

ill gladly go to oxfor(for free)

[dim badge]

Oh damn

[slate cloud]

I mean it's prob the same tuition as normal Stanford tuition ig

[dim badge]

I just made drawings of Stanford

[slate cloud]

I think the tuition is the same

[slate cloud]

Nah you need to buy that plushie

I have that plushie

[elfin coral]

another set of tuition💀

?

[slate cloud]

Everyone said it's scary but

[dim badge]

I will when I’m admitted 😮‍💨

[slate cloud]

I mean buy something small for manifesting purposes

I bought like a Stanford shirt, tree plushie, and a mug

[dim badge]

I’ve done plenty of manifesting

Wouldn’t hurt to do more though

[slate cloud]

And like everyone KNOWS that I really wanna go to Stanford

And it would be embarrassing as fuc if I got rejected

Lmao

[dim badge]

same

[slate cloud]

Very good strat

[dim badge]

and same

[slate cloud]

So like burn the boat

No way back

Art of War

[dim badge]

they don’t think I’m gonna get in 💀

[slate cloud]

Very good

[dim badge]

I already have.

[slate cloud]

?

I think like it's the same tuition for Stanford like instead of paying that semester's tuition to Stanford it's just towards the program

[dim badge]

I even put in #✨-celebration-station when it was new years “this is the year I’m gonna become a tree 🌲” 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[elfin coral]

ohh

[slate cloud]

Yeahhh burn the boat

No way back

[stone mural]

Didn’t ali abdaal go to cambs?? And last time i checked, he moved to the US(?)

[soft ocean]

What does SPIV stand for

Nvm found it

[warm moat]

!stanford

[elfin coral]

Will Stanford round up a 3.88888889 to 3.9?

Morover for first semester I completed 4 courses technically

Which may move gpa to 3.909☠️ just tryna fit in their common data set range fr

Nvm it doesn't matter

They have 3.75 and 3.99 lumped together

[digital spoke]

💀

[elfin coral]

lol

[dim badge]

My confidence when I see the profile of a low income Hispanic student that ended up getting rejected from Stanford (I’m Hispanic and low income) 🥰

[elfin coral]

isnt stanny need blind

how do they know your income?

[dim badge]

yes

It’s just a characteristic

[elfin coral]

ah

youl be aight

[digital carbon]

nope

sorry

[digital carbon]

is this some log table thing?

[dim badge]

Wdym

[elfin coral]

I cant tell if this is sarcastic or a serious answer lol

[digital carbon]

sarcastic

[digital carbon]

nvm nothing

[digital spoke]

You got this!

[rare herald]

unfortunately every low income hispanic gets rejected from stanford.☺️ but that's just life, you know!!

[dim badge]

I understand the sarcasm BUT THAT STATISTIC ISNT ANYMORE RE ASSURING :(((((((((

I locked in tho so dw

[elfin coral]

2 weeks till my MIT acceptance

I mean Stanford

[loud wren]

i was going to say!

[elfin coral]

NOT MIT

[loud wren]

i was like isnt mit two days??

you’ll get both mit and stanford acceptances withinnnn two weeks :)

[elfin coral]

Nah I'm cooked for MIT I've come to terms

Stanford will save me

[elfin coral]

Not because I'm not confident in my app, because I literally messed up with errors so much

[slate cloud]

Stanford (and Harvard) will save you they value you as a "person" (hopefully) lol

[slate cloud]

I didn't do MIT application solely because of the application portal it scared me so much work

[elfin coral]

Same bro

[dim badge]

are you applying for aid

stanford isn't need blind so it'll be even harder if you aren't going full pay

for internationals ^

[muted sage]

Why are we doing chance mes!

[gloomy summit]

that’s not chance me but srry if it’s not allowed

[muted sage]

“Do I still have a chance” is in fact a chance me I’m afraid

[gloomy summit]

ok that’s my bad

[azure pollen]

For those who added dual enrollment colleges to their common app, did you ever get the chance to submit transcripts for Stanford? If I recall they never requested or had a spot to put college transcripts I might be wrong tho

But anyways my regional AO emailed my counselor for me to submit them

Hopefully it’s not a bad look on my part

[dim badge]

Does Stanford evaluate scores like AP scores by area context

[fringe sorrel]

Ya, my counselor had to mail them in

[dim badge]

Someone Lmk

[strong stag]

oh fuck are we supposed to submit dual enrollment transcripts to all schools too

[low sparrow]

^

[dim badge]

You mean yeah?

@low sparrow ? (sorry for ping)

[low sparrow]

No sorry I meant to emphasize it so someone could answer 😅

[dim badge]

ohhh ok yeah

[dim badge]

someone plz answer this

[elfin coral]

Yes, that's the basis of holistic admission. They look at everything in context. AP no different from sat. Though they don't explicitly state any of this on their papers that's what they do.

[dim badge]

Ok good

[elfin coral]

How much weight it holds is another story

[dim badge]

How much?

[elfin coral]

Idk

[dim badge]

No one does?

[elfin coral]

I don't think anyone who isn't an ao knows

[dim badge]

I see

Well at least they consider that

[elfin coral]

I was the first to get a 5 in ap calc in my schools history(atleast 20 years back that can be recorded) idk if they even check that

[dim badge]

Congrats!!!

But good thing they do look at that context

Ty for letting me know @elfin coral

[elfin coral]

Np

[dim badge]

was your dual enrollment classes not on your hs transcript?

i wasnt asked this

[azure pollen]

No they weren’t but I added “colleges I took classes at” on my common app so they asked for those 3 that I put

If it was already on your hs transcript they wouldn’t

[dim badge]

oh ok that makes sense

[azure pollen]

I hope this means I’m at least still in consideration lol

[dim badge]

probably when did they ask

[azure pollen]

Two days ago

[urban mural]

I didn't know where to put it

[azure pollen]

Exactly

[urban mural]

I put it in my additional information

or smth

[azure pollen]

I didn’t even know they wanted it

[urban mural]

I think?

idk

[azure pollen]

Oh are you talking about the classes themselves? Or the transcripts

[urban mural]

The classes

The grades I got

[azure pollen]

Oh yeah same

[urban mural]

mhm

yeah

Honestly though

[azure pollen]

For the transcripts I had no idea they even “needed” them

[urban mural]

yeah

Me too

[fringe sorrel]

Ya, ur suppose to send it in if you put it

But I think stanford only accepts them through mail

[dim badge]

probably good news

or they haven't reviewed your application yet because it's missing materials

@dim badge does Stanford usually not respond to emails sent by counselors providing info

[dim badge]

no idea

I see

Also

Where is light Brandon

[azure pollen]

Not true they said I could attach pdfs to the email

[azure pollen]

I doubt that’s true considering what we know about there process. Pretty sure like 2 weeks out their finalizing in committees but I could be wrong

No one really knows tho

[dim badge]

i mean ive heard that they don't review applications until all materials are submitted so

Is it true that they can change an app from rejected to accepted

[dim badge]

nope they state that on their website

Oh yeah

Cause I heard somewhere “it’s scary to think I can be changed from accepted to rejected last minute”

[dim badge]

all decisions are final once made

Have they already been made?

most likely

how do we find out before the 29th

[dim badge]

we dont

there has to be a way

you’re from Washington right?

[dim badge]

did you put your grades in your addtl info? if you did then its probably good news if you didn't it's probably missing materials tbh

nvm im fucking around

augh

[dim badge]

nope

from the west tho

Oregon?

nope

Idaho?

[dim badge]

probably but you can get your offer rescinded for it

it's happened before

[dim badge]

nope

Ik

I was just kidding cause yeah

Nevada?

you prob made it past the first phase though

they've fs completed preliminary review

[dim badge]

nope

Are you talking to me?

Or m&m

manraj

[azure pollen]

I did. I’m pretty sure all applications would have gone through an initial screening by now and if not then they would be running really low on time to finalize decisions. They would’ve contacted way earlier for incomplete

That’s just my theory

[dim badge]

Are there any indications to know what phases we’ve passed and what not

Or most of the time they’re radio silent

[azure pollen]

No one knows

[dim badge]

nah thats based that's def good news, they just need to confirm things then

Cause I didn’t get any emails like Mr Manraj

[dim badge]

you know you're past the first phase if you're deferred

Yeah

that's all tho

But other than that

Cuz manraj got an email

i mean it's probably unlikely manraj wouldn't be past the first phase

but do most people typically have no indication cause I heard Stanford likes to stay radio silent

i mean given his track record and this late of an email

most likely in committee

[dim badge]

yes

[azure pollen]

The thing is that it’s not like what they sent to me could apply to everyone. I lowkey might’ve just been irresponsible by not sending the transcripts who knows 😭 if you had no transcripts to send you wouldn’t get the email

[dim badge]

i highly doubt you didn't make it to committee

[dim badge]

Wdym?

[dim badge]

i mean yes

Oh ok

[dim badge]

i think we got into usc ea together actually

i saw you in the gc

[azure pollen]

Yeah we did you’re def in there too then

Honestly no point in thinking about it why couldn’t the decision date come rn 😭

[dim badge]

wait would Stanford email for something like only providing info for one parent since my parents or separated

or do they not need that info

cause they haven’t emailed me for shit

[dim badge]

Yeah good luck

did you do any fly ins?

[azure pollen]

They’re not gonna email you if there’s nothing to email about. Im sure most good applicants don’t get an email

[dim badge]

Well alright

[azure pollen]

I only did PEEP and Harvey Mudd

[dim badge]

cause I’ve also had my counselor forward additional info and get no response

[dim badge]

when does harvey mudd drop?

[azure pollen]

Kinda forgot to apply to a lot of them

[dim badge]

Not sure if that’s a normal thing tho

[dim badge]

yeah same i was too lazy

i only applied to epc bound and a2a

[azure pollen]

Not sure tbh but speaking of which they also asked me for transcripts recently 😭 when on their portal it specially says optional…

[dim badge]

wait so like

you forget to submit your entire HS transcript?

[azure pollen]

Honeslty fly ins are such a great experience def the best thing you can do junior —> senior year

[dim badge]

whats the estimated matriculation rate of ed fly in admits?

[azure pollen]

No just college ones

[dim badge]

yeah i only went to one lowkey wish i did more

yeah no I’m fucked

[azure pollen]

I’m not sure tbh I’m sure it’s super high tho

For schools that offer ED and fly ins it seems to be super high

[dim badge]

yeah a lot of my friends from epc got likelies

[azure pollen]

Funny enough I actually went to Mudd on my birthday so I made a pretty memorable presence there lol unfortunate that it’s not one of my top choices tho

That’s crazyyy

Yeah I heard a lot of great things about epc

Bro i did too 😭

[dim badge]

Very unprofessional on their end

For them to have acted like that

[shut charm]

[dim badge]

My counselor almost forgot to send my transcript during REA

[dim badge]

Dark Brandon

Nah jk

[elfin coral]

[digital spoke]

Hehe

[digital spoke]

Sent to ur dm

[dim badge]

Bro

This feels so damned

I didn’t get a likely

I didn’t even get an email in response indicating they’re still even considering me with the additional info I sent

I’ve gotten nothing

What if I haven’t even made it to the committee

[shut charm]

Bro chill

Ur gonna be alright

[lusty thicket]

Stanny stopped likelies afaik

[digital spoke]

^ @dim badge

[lusty thicket]

anyone know the stats on how many admitted students were interviewed

[grave wedge]

i was interviewed but my stats were sht

like just above 1500 sat

i think they interview everyne like MIT

[hard mirage]

yeah i dont think they prescreen

[lusty thicket]

harvard has that policy but 95% of admitted students were interviewed

[grave wedge]

yeah harvard different

[lusty thicket]

ah ok

I need to stop stressing then LOL

[grave wedge]

im saying like MIT and stanford just interview whoever

prolly the ivys do screening

but the thing is i even got an interview for UPenn

[lusty thicket]

yeah Penn is availability

[grave wedge]

and idk if that was buy luck or my application was actually good

[alpine plume]

its also nonevaluative lmaoo

[grave wedge]

bruhh

[dim badge]

whats the source on that? i've heard conflicting things of likelies dropping the same day as harvard

cuz some ppl from the mit wise fly in supposedly got one

[slate cloud]

I remember also reading somewhere that Stanford stopped send out likely letters but like you said other sources said that Stanford is still giving out likely letter, but I would say don't worry about it too much because most admitted students don't receive likely letters.

[dim badge]

Do most admits receive anything at all in terms of your information

[slate cloud]

You mean do most admit receive any type of communication at all before the decision?

[dim badge]

Yeah

[slate cloud]

For me, REA, no, but RD might be different idk

[dim badge]

I see

[slate cloud]

They're literally so quiet before the decision

[dim badge]

I thought that was just me

[slate cloud]

But then when you got in they just take care of you lmao

[slate cloud]

Yeah

[dim badge]

Ngl I might leave this server to ease the anxiety

and take a break from social media in general

idk if I’ll be in this thread for decision day

[slate cloud]

Okay before you leave

Hold on let me show you this

[dim badge]

Alright

And I don’t wanna be one of those “I’m leaving forever lads”, I just didn’t wanna depart without saying anything

[slate cloud]

Hopefully that makes you ease your anxiety 🫂

[dim badge]

Thank you Zach

Good luck with committing

and gl to all those who await a decision

[digital spoke]

🤩

[slate cloud]

I didn't know that many famous people go to Stanford lmao (I mean I know the typical ones but didn't know their children go to Stanford too which is wild)

[digital spoke]

Lol yeah

[elfin coral]

Maybe stanford actually cares about you and not your legacy😔🥹🙏

[tacit sand]

Don’t worry about it. I sent in extra awards I got after I applied and got zero confirmation. I also didn’t get any communications at all regarding interviews and still got in.

Also I know it’s easy for people to just say chill or don’t worry but in a real sense you’ll end up at the right place you just gotta trust the process

[slate cloud]

Yeah that's true they don't confirm additional materials that you sent (I think only a notification or something saying that they received it if iirc—that's it, no comments)

Yooo and what's up SymSys fellow ;)))

[tacit sand]

Hey lol

You have any clue what you’re gonna choose for your concentration

[slate cloud]

Hmmm I know that I want a career in AI so it might be AI concentration

But my college counselor is telling me to switch from SymSys to CS :((

[tacit sand]

Bruh

[slate cloud]

So idk I'm still considering between CS and SymSys

[tacit sand]

Wait why tho

[slate cloud]

Because CS is too good to pass but I like SymSys too

She said CS is too good of a program

I need to gather more information

And you know something lmao

[tacit sand]

I mean I read that people have done both cs and symsys

[slate cloud]

So we have the tree-side chat thing, right? Idk if that's the right name

But I remember booking the only SymSys girl on the list

And for some reason my dumbass brain picked the wrong name lmao

She's in writing or something

[tacit sand]

Yeah… I kind of didn’t see it until most of them were signed up cuz of robotics grind season

[slate cloud]

I was like yeah I can't ask her about SymSys then 🗿

[tacit sand]

Ah

I see

[slate cloud]

Oh did you have a chance to do it though?

Yeah so I passed my chance on asking more about why I should choose SymSys over CS

;v

[tacit sand]

Unfortunately no

[slate cloud]

Are you on the same boat or you're set on SymSys and what concentration do you wanna do?

[tacit sand]

There are multiple concentrations that interest me but I think I def wanna learn more

Cuz I don’t think it’s set in stone till much later

[slate cloud]

Oh okay that makes sense but how sure you are to do SymSys tho?

[slate cloud]

Like?

[tacit sand]

Not that sure tbf. I really like the phil requirements but I have second thoughts on the lack of depth I’ve read about

[slate cloud]

Yeah I like Philosophy but not like I wanna take classes on it but I think SymSys is pretty flexible

And other major are you considering

[tacit sand]

Biomed, AI, Human centered AI, and basically every other lol

[slate cloud]

Actually how about we just take this convo to DM lol I also wanna ask about Admit Weekend :))

[tacit sand]

I applied listing SymSys, EE, and CS

Ye

[slate cloud]

Hmmm lmao I see AI is very popular lol

[turbid wing]

does anyone know when stanford admission results come out for rd

[elfin coral]

likely 29th

[turbid wing]

ok

[harsh sentinel]

And the AO’s message to her was “your application is the most extraordinary I have ever read” so like sometimes your app is very strong that they don’t need an interview

[dusky pumice]

[spring osprey]

That was the case for her too!!

She’s thriving at Stanford lol

Got into a study abroad program and was recently featured in one of their articles about the Midnight Breakfast tradition
