Stanford University (2023-2024)

[spring veldt]

At least the first part of it

[vivid lion]

Same

[slate cloud]

Yeah, and I was about to hang out with my friends, but one of them has Ramadan last night so she couldn't go, so I postponed my plans to today, but I was in the call with @olive kernel and I was soooo hyped so I cheated and opened Harvard and Princeton yesterday and got rejected from both 🗿 Karma is real guys.

[pine rain]

at least you have stanford right

i feel like it's so like

random

with the college admissions

[slate cloud]

Hopefully that's what I believe so I have something to cope with 🗿

[pine rain]

im not gonna lie

[minor harbor]

idt its random tbh

[pine rain]

its really hard to game the system

[pine rain]

nah i think a decent amount of it is variable

[drifting nacelle]

what kind of characters does Stanford want

[pine rain]

i wouldn't say it's 100% variable

[minor harbor]

i did better at the schools where I thought my essays were better

[drifting nacelle]

And would it help to be creative in the essays

[pine rain]

yes, but you are never guaranteed to get in

💀

[gentle basin]

I genuinely think my Stanford essays were the best ones I did so I hope that goes well

[drifting nacelle]

Like the short answers

[elfin coral]

worked butt off on harvard essays and halfassed upenn. rjected harvard and waitlisted upenn💀

[pine rain]

also like my columbia essays were legitimately the worst of all my essays

[hardy crescent]

Lmfao my Stanford essays were my best but I’m still predicting rejection 😂

[minor harbor]

the funny thing is is that the ones i got into were the ones i wrote the day before it was due

[pine rain]

i wrote them in 20 minutes

i shit you not

[minor harbor]

LOL

[pine rain]

it was a literal yap fast

*fest

[slate cloud]

Oh yeah I just remembered that one lmao. Honestly Princeton was crushing for me because I had the best interview with them and I kinda liked that essay too. I guess the AO just read the first line and like f this kid and auto rejected or something lmao (still coping)

[minor harbor]

same

[pine rain]

i got in an argument with my parents

[minor harbor]

same

[pine rain]

because they wanted me to write about some mission statement

[minor harbor]

my essays were so good like that same essay got me far in robertson and stuff

still took an L

[gentle basin]

You got into Harvard though? Even if it doesn't work you'll be fine

[minor harbor]

yeah parental advice can be somewhat misguided

even teachers and stuff

[pine rain]

nah literally i was so pissed that i just submitted everything asap

also

my recommender addressed his letter

[minor harbor]

i had a teacher tell me he thought my common app was awful and i still got into good places so

[pine rain]

to the wrong school

[slate cloud]

Then you're gonna do well 🙏 I think Stanford REALLY cares about essays

[rare plover]

i didnt get into a single private university

[pine rain]

he said "dear harvard admissions committee"

[pine rain]

where'd ou get into?

[pine rain]

i think most private schools do

its just like

really hard to get in

[minor harbor]

columbia likely upenn m&t caltech etc

[pine rain]

whichc is why people get rejected

😭

[rare plover]

yea ivies look for smth diff

[elfin coral]

im the next sam altman. stanford will let me in

[dim badge]

I’m rereading my Stanford essays and shit they sound like ai now

[pine rain]

in the wise words of a guy at princeton, "95% of applicants at a selective school are COOKED!"

my stanford essays and update form were dogshit too im ngl

[gentle basin]

I got rejected by every other reach school soooo

[minor harbor]

u gotta be unique

and pitch yourself well

lowk recs are a really underrated part of it

[slate cloud]

Same. It's like when you have some time off from them and now you're back with a fresh eyes you're like oh shit I can do better than this

[minor harbor]

they gotta back up ur application so i think that part is hard to fake

[spring veldt]

But like we got one reach? So we know we’re qualified so what do they want!!

[minor harbor]

like u can claim to be xyz but if ur recs don't support it youre cooked

[pine rain]

wait u got into stanford?

[slate cloud]

Awwww man sounds like a Stanford acceptance 🗿

[pine rain]

dawg im ngl my columbia essays were ass

do u wanna see them in dm

[spring veldt]

yeah

[pine rain]

they were actually so bad 😭

[spring veldt]

LOL

[minor harbor]

u got in so

clearly not

[dim badge]

I need someone’s else perspective

[gentle basin]

Hopefully lmao

[dim badge]

wanna read mine essays? lol

[slate cloud]

Yeah but you got in 💀 It doesn't matter if they're bad in your opinion if they worked, they worked

[minor harbor]

yall will all get in 🙏

[dim badge]

international who seeks full ride 😭 i can’t

[void lion]

im ready to get the final rejection letter today

[slate cloud]

Oh... honestly BEST OF LUCK TO YOU 😭

[dim badge]

but if I’ll get rejected from Stanford tomorrow I’ll have motivation to write loci for penn and williams at least

[elfin coral]

I feel like cmu, berkeley and stan eecs attract similar students. This is me being delulu and hoping its a sign

[rare plover]

yeah definitely

[rigid kayak]

i think thats the point of holisitc admissions

[slate cloud]

That sounds about right

[rare plover]

but tbh idk what i did wrong with my app

[rigid kayak]

they for the good in u

u can get in despite ur essays

[rare plover]

i got waitlisted cornell duke rice and rejected pton penn

[harsh sentinel]

i feel like all my essays were great but still got rejected all ivies i applied to rip

[slate cloud]

@pine rain I think besides Harvard and Princeton Columbia is my favorite school rn so can I get your blessing 🙏 😭 I'm about to open them in like 3 more hours

[dim badge]

my essays need to carry my app 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[pine rain]

i will give you my blessing

mwah

columbia's the quirky one

if you get waitlisted everywhere else they accept you

[dim badge]

can I get an amen type of messages frrr

[slate cloud]

I heard that lots of people say people who got into Stanford are "underdogs" like their essay carries and I'm def one of them lmao cause my ECs ain't that good 💀

[pine rain]

that's my opinion

[void lion]

im really proud of my common app essay but man no reaches be taking the bite so far

[unborn lark]

[harsh sentinel]

[harsh sentinel]

yeah but i need to get in to stanford for personal reasons

[vivid lion]

SAME 😭

[spring veldt]

Ur essays were goated so I hope u do

[rare herald]

wym

[woeful otter]

guys we have to accept that stanford has a 33% acceptance rate, you're either in, out, or waitlisted

[harsh sentinel]

thank you but I've lost hope </3

[harsh sentinel]

did you mean 3% lol

[void lion]

i wish it was that high

[harsh sentinel]

change to an orange pfp to match the guardian orange

[woeful otter]

nah its all math, 3 possibilities 1 will be decided

clearly its 33% smh

[river violet]

Yo smrithi did u get into any ivy?

Wow, 18 acceptances

[elfin coral]

going off by MIT a2c rates. it may be around 13% for us

[harsh sentinel]

no <3

[rare plover]

im getting in for sure cuz im him

[void lion]

A2C self selection bias be not getting me any acceptances yet lmaooo

[harsh sentinel]

oh lol

[woeful otter]

also holy 18 acceptances

[elfin coral]

time to watch twitch streams for 7 hours

[harsh sentinel]

yeah ea went very well for me lol. rd... not so much

[woeful otter]

I mean tbf you got ucb and ucla, rd can't be that bad

[harsh sentinel]

im 0-6 on rd so far LOL

[woeful otter]

isn't uc regular decision? or am I tripping?

[harsh sentinel]

i dont count UC's as regular decision

[void lion]

UC only does RD yes but smrithi could have gotten berk in the early wave

[harsh sentinel]

i did get berk early yes

but in general i dont count UC's as RD

since i submitted the app so early

[woeful otter]

ah I see

[weak edge]

yea the deadline is like a month earlier than all other rds

[woeful otter]

Well sadly I wasn't aware of the deadlines of ea so all my decisions are rd lmao

[harsh sentinel]

oh rip

[woeful otter]

it's chill I got toronto

I'm coolin

[harsh sentinel]

for me the thing was

i couldn't ed anywhere

so i ea maxxed

and all my rds are schools that only have ed and rd

every school that had ea on my list i applied

[woeful otter]

fair nuff

[harsh sentinel]

but the problem was the schools that have ed prioritize ed so much that the rd acceptance rate is so low

[woeful otter]

might do that if I decide to transfer

[harsh sentinel]

whereas schools that dont have ed prioritize ea so

however uchicago has both ed and ea and i applied ea and thus was screwed over <3

[woeful otter]

thank god for toronto, I think everywhere else I'm cooked

[harsh sentinel]

toronto is great

[rare herald]

i dont have discord nitro

oh

wait

[woeful otter]

true, I think I saw a mod here going to toronto so it must be good

[jolly leaf]

We goin to Stanford

[chrome wave]

samford

[harsh sentinel]

but yeah i went 10-3-0 in ea, 4-1-0 in the single deadline ones (uc's and uw), and 1-1-5 in rd so far + 3 direct admissions

[rare herald]

yeah, dalia. it's a strong school, especially if you are pursuing stem.

[harsh sentinel]

its been an interesting cycle but overall im happy and grateful

0 rd acceptances would kinda hurt bcuz my rd essays lowkey ate but they're all sub 10 acceptance rates anyways so its whatever

[rare herald]

yeah i am too. although my cornell rejection still stings.

[jolly leaf]

UCLA and ucb goes crazy tho

[harsh sentinel]

🫂

[woeful otter]

ooh nice, I'm in something stem tangential lmao, quant finance

[harsh sentinel]

public school queen fr

[woeful otter]

pretty decent co-op program tho

[harsh sentinel]

UCB (University of Colorado, Boulder)

[void lion]

UCs kinda swept me

[woeful otter]

ooh 1-1-5 in rd? whats the acc and wailist?

[woeful otter]

TRUEEE

[jolly leaf]

LMFAO nooooppp

[harsh sentinel]

the acceptance is a safety (quinnipiac) that i technically applied december so its actually ea but idk they emailed me with a fee waiver and a quick app so i did it

[woeful otter]

[quasi relic]

[rigid kayak]

USC deny, UCSD waitlist, vandy deny, UCB waitlist (cs is cancer), i got UCLA, UCSB, GT, purdue

[jolly leaf]

I don’t really care about transferring when I can get Boulder cs done in 2-3 years and go for a masters

and for much cheaper

[woeful otter]

fair

[dim badge]

UCLA CS is crazy good

[jolly leaf]

I already have a few cs internships lined up

[celest axle]

Tbf cs is more ab work experience right?

[elfin coral]

I just wanna get a job at openAI/deepmind honestly

[ashen belfry]

got denied from a bunch but they all seemed to be because of competitive majors / colleges within the university so since Stanford doesn’t admit by major I have. Some hope.

[rigid kayak]

yea im surprised i got in OOS

[jolly leaf]

Yes it is definitely

[elfin coral]

grad school probably matters more

it’s almost like ivies are genuinely their safeties

[lost knoll]

ngl smrithi

i might have to sell out

[rigid kayak]

stanford was their safety 💀

some of them are now going to harvard

[jolly leaf]

insane

[rigid kayak]

its weird

most ppl decide between harvard and stanford

nothing else

[spring veldt]

I don’t get picking Harvard over Stanford

[rigid kayak]

no MIT no Yale no Princeton

its harvard and stanford

[celest axle]

for finance it makes sense Harvard is high finance

Stanford is more vc

And entrepreneurship

[rigid kayak]

i mean they have penn too 💀

[dim badge]

stanford is better

[spring veldt]

I guess but im talking culture wise

[rigid kayak]

they have all the options

[celest axle]

They have no soul and hate the sun

[lost knoll]

LMFAO

[harsh sentinel]

WHYYYY

[hardy crescent]

“Friends dad glazes me ” is a crazy phrase

[lost knoll]

im an immoral person 😔😔

[harsh sentinel]

no fr harvard is full of pretentious douchebags whereas stanford has all the nice smart people that make you wanna become better people and change the world

[lost knoll]

stanford duck syndrome tho

[harsh sentinel]

pre med to business?

[celest axle]

I was reading an article on the Harvard crimson that was encouraging people to sell out 💀

[lost knoll]

bro yesterday all i read was about how harv is easier than mit in terms of work

[celest axle]

Real path of least resistance

[harsh sentinel]

i was looking at us news rankings today

and okay its us news but omfg harvard isnt #1 anywhere

[rigid kayak]

it is

mit is actually hard

[lost knoll]

might be cope but at least ill do good on mcat if mit 🙏

[harsh sentinel]

the only list they're #1 in is economics and that list has like 8 schools tied for #1

how is harvard so prestigious

[rigid kayak]

old money

[spring veldt]

they ride their name

[lost knoll]

established name

[harsh sentinel]

true

[celest axle]

Name value

Opens doors

[harsh sentinel]

but honestly they're falling off

[celest axle]

Also the alumni network

[rigid kayak]

yes stanford on top

[harsh sentinel]

bro but like i swear my friend got into harvard today and my entire family went "OMG HARVARD OMG HE MUST BE SO CRACKED OMG THATS INSANE OMG IS HE A HUGE NERD"

[rigid kayak]

it def depends on ur school

our school has ppl go to penn pton cornell pretty consistently every year

any other school is like 🤯

like we've sent like 0 columbia in the last 20 years

[harsh sentinel]

nah im from india and most people here only know harvard, mit, stanford, berkeley, purdue

[celest axle]

Everyone got into Cornell

[spring veldt]

i didn't apply to UCB

so, 2 ain't that abnormal

[dim badge]

why 1 gap?

[tacit halo]

last year a guy got duke and dartmouth with 2 gap

[tacit halo]

school doesn't prepare documents on senior year. no predicted grades, nothing to help

yeah. you as well?

are you gapping just for college apps?

all my WL are LACs

[dim badge]

Oh that makes sense

[tacit halo]

i fked up my essays i think. only weak part of my app

[dim badge]

I hope you can get in next year

[bold dew]

Essays are the only part of the application at this point

[tacit halo]

yeah. pretty big risk but let's see

[dim badge]

If Stanford isn't the case*

[bold dew]

I dont think they care if you get gold at IMO or win a local math competition

they just want you to be annoyingly unique and BS your essays

[tacit halo]

honestly, idk what is the part. my friends with shit essay got good LAC full ride

[bold dew]

whats LAC

[tacit halo]

liberal arts college

[harsh sentinel]

not true

its holistic

[simple vigil]

Lotsa Apple Computers

[ruby marsh]

🧊 I am unique, but I don't think AO will understand that🧊

[dim badge]

I got a defer as well

[harsh sentinel]

my ivy essays were lowk fire and i still got rejected all 3 ivies

[bold dew]

No way its NOT holistic

[harsh sentinel]

essays are important yes but other things matter too

[bold dew]

Ivies are ivies

[harsh sentinel]

what makes you think so

[bold dew]

Cha ching cha ching

[tacit halo]

sounds fancy. but i don't think so. it is all about the story you tell i think

[pine rain]

That’s holistic

💀

[tacit halo]

damn. same. everyone said my profile was fit for amherst.

[bold dew]

ikr

[harsh sentinel]

for intls applying to need aware schools yeah i agree your financial status matters

[dim badge]

honestly im surprised you guys have to take gap years to get into american schools

[tacit halo]

story in essay i meant

[pine rain]

Holistic just means they look at everything u submit

And consider how that fits in context of you

[harsh sentinel]

you can tell a story through multiple parts of your app

[low current]

hi guys

[harsh sentinel]

essays, ecs, additional info

[pine rain]

Thats basically story

[pine rain]

Hi sparkles

[bold dew]

I don't think they read anything

[pine rain]

Full circle!

[bold dew]

honestly

UK is so much better

[harsh sentinel]

😭

[bold dew]

merit based 😌

[harsh sentinel]

you do realize that disadvantages low income kids right

[bold dew]

US only admits potential english majors

[tacit halo]

yeah. what I'm saying is if you have average grades you're totally fine if you get fire essays. but not the other way around.

[pine rain]

Okay then

[elfin coral]

😭

[bold dew]

No, US disadvantages low income

in general low income is disadvantaged but US is worse in this case

[tacit halo]

almost everyone from my country is STEM major

[harsh sentinel]

the holistic system of the US allows people from low income backgrounds to get in with lower-than-average stats because thats very high for their context

[pine rain]

Our english major country has some of the most prolific research institutions in the world

[bold dew]

cuz fees are high + ECs matter a lot more (and internships etc. require support from others)

[harsh sentinel]

for intls yes but definitely not for everyone

[low current]

hihi

[tacit halo]

i doubt. they milk internationals

[low current]

we’re back in for stanford🙏

[harsh sentinel]

true but thats because SO many people have good grades and you cant really decide based on that

[harsh sentinel]

im not talking about intls at all

[tacit halo]

the guy 3 years back had an OF?

[harsh sentinel]

lol this is blatantly not true

[pine rain]

We have to lock in to prepare for our decision

[harsh sentinel]

i've seen stem majors with not-so-great writing ability but great stories to tell who got into multiple schools

[tacit halo]

damn. he was rejected by every uni.

same year?

[low current]

yess

i wish u guys the best of luck<3

[bold dew]

All my friends who got into Oxford/Cambridge were rejected by all ivies. A guy with 3 bronze medals at the IMO got 9 rejections on ivy day

[low current]

stanford is gonna clutch!

[bold dew]

How would you explain that?

[quasi relic]

does stanford milk intls though

[tacit halo]

my essays are too nerdy. i doub't i have an interesting story

[pine rain]

:( :) we will see

[tacit halo]

t20 uni don't do that. LACs do that the most

[bold dew]

I do know of someone who got full aid from india

8 years ago

[simple vigil]

yeah all my essays except for the roommate one sounded kinda pretentious

[ruby marsh]

🧊 Yes !! I need it the most 🧊

[dim badge]

These gap year things are crazy to me 😭

[low current]

i think i had good stanford essays but honestly i don't think it correlates w acceptance

[dim badge]

Why dont you guys apply to Bama and just transfer colleges?

[bold dew]

How do you get stories? This is a factor thats just outside your control

[tacit halo]

whaaat. do you have his resume? i think the most important part about being in long gap is maintaining the mental stability

[quasi relic]

bro fr US admissions is so random, I got Imperial CS (cause i had high stat stuff like AP Calc BC in grade 9 etc etc) but US was a rejection streak lol

[bold dew]

That is why UK (merit system) is better

[void lion]

in terms of stanford, i think i like the roommate essay best too

[harsh sentinel]

that literally sums up the holistic system. you can be great at academics but not get due to not being the right fit

[bold dew]

SAME, I got into JMC Imperial too and I have 11 rejections till now and 0 waitlist in US (Only stanford left)

[tacit halo]

i asked my friend to review my essay this afternoon. he said "you;re getting rejected with this" lmao

[harsh sentinel]

the whole point of holistic admissions is that stats isn't everything

[dim badge]

I think US is better because it allows for diversity of thought

[tacit halo]

damn. one of the other guy is probably a millioniare. saw his crypto business

[harsh sentinel]

coming from a country where everybody grinds for a single test and that one score determines your college, i LOVE the us system

[dim badge]

it is why our US universities are highly ranked

[simple vigil]

i really don't get the idea of "fit" at a college being determined through your essays/activities

[low current]

nah i've seen bad essay writing ppl get into hypsm tho but u gotta balance it with ur academic

[bold dew]

Being the right fit has nothing to do with having a story to tell. I don't have a wooha adventerous life. I play guitar and I am not a full time nerd. What do AOs want?

[tacit halo]

so where are you committing?

[dim badge]

Same

[tacit halo]

i'm guessing first gap?

[quasi relic]

idk i feel like India/China systems and US systems are both extremes on 2 ends, i feel like something like the UK is ideal

[tacit halo]

i have the best academics possible

[low current]

UK system is good except you can't change major

[tacit halo]

didn't even get interview

[harsh sentinel]

its really not because EVERYONE has stories. you've lived life for 17 years no? you have no memories to share? no values-altering incidents?

[bold dew]

How good are the academics? Must be international medalist

[low current]

its fine stanny interview doesnt matter

[harsh sentinel]

you dont need a woohoo adventurous life. you just need to have lived.

[tacit halo]

you are currently in gap or senior year?

[bold dew]

No I don't I am sorry. I have a boring life

[pine rain]

Dawg

[tacit halo]

a level, 4A*

[bold dew]

I have always lived in townships

what exactly is the UK system? its just based on A-levels and stuff right/

[bold dew]

0 action here

[pine rain]

my grades didn't do the magic lmao

[pine rain]

Dont play video games all day

not even peace, its near a power plant so its polluted AF

its not even that

yea i had no life in hs but i still had stuff to put on my essays u just gotta think about it

If u really hate the us system

[dim badge]

the US system is so good bc it is holistic

[pine rain]

Just dont apply

[bold dew]

[pine rain]

💀💀💀💀💀

[harsh sentinel]

true

i love the US system so much

i didnt apply to a single indian/non-US college

[tacit halo]

exactlyyyy. my life is boring af.

[tropic grotto]

wooo go bears!!!!! i’m doomed by fate to be a stanford reject

[pine rain]

Because there are infinitely as many qualified if not more qualified students than you (this isnt directed at you specifically but in general this is true)

[low current]

nah the us system is fucked but its not like other systems are that much better

[bold dew]

Yeah I tried my best but my essays apparently aren't admit-worthy

[harsh sentinel]

real 😭

[pine rain]

They want people on campus that will inspire each other to become better

[harsh sentinel]

^^^

[dim badge]

bc stanford isnt looking for just students they are looking for kids who will change the field of cs and offer new perspectives in research and stuff

[tacit halo]

GBS? bro didn't have good gpa as i heard. 1400 sth SAT. i might be wrong. he got intl olympiad mention ig

[bold dew]

JUST MAKE IT MERIT BASED THEN LMFAO

[tacit halo]

well deserved i'd say

[bold dew]

THIS ESSAY SHIT MAKES IT RANDOM, A TOTAL LOTTERY SYSTEM

[pine rain]

If you did something like JEE you’d get diminishing returns

The fluctuation is too small for a meaningful difference

[harsh sentinel]

how do you select 50 students from a pool of 1000 students where everybody has a 1600 sat? 4.0 gpa?

[pine rain]

You want to cultivate an excellent class of people

Not just a class of excellent people

[dim badge]

^

[tacit halo]

damn. why is it the way it is.

[pine rain]

Both are possible

[bold dew]

Oh so you think someone who has Gold in IOI will do worse than a guy who climbed Mount everest when he was 12?

[harsh sentinel]

you dont need monumental experiences for good essays

[low current]

bro if u got gold in ioi and ur not getting in thats ur fault lmfao

[harsh sentinel]

i literally wrote about playing catch with my dog

[bold dew]

How does Oxford do it huh?

[low current]

like smth has to be wrong

[tacit halo]

maybe. coming from a rural place.

[tropic grotto]

we should base admission off of poker ez

[harsh sentinel]

and posting on my instagram feed

[pine rain]

Dawg ur actually being too naive

[tacit halo]

i was selected for IChO, but proved too expensive for me. should've gone with a loan lmao

switzerland

[pine rain]

Number one you do have to be academically qualified to go to top institutions

Number two you also need to show that youre going to be a good classmate

[hard mirage]

bruh im so nervous for this one

[bold dew]

How exactly?

[tacit halo]

yeah. got doxxed lmao .wby?

[bold dew]

The US system overly emphasises on ECs clearly

[dim badge]

Billert and smirthi both have interesting takes on the world that i would have never considered and make me think of different approaches to things. That feeling is what the us university system cultivates

[hard mirage]

stanford has the best poli sci in the country and i got rejected from ivys alr😭😭

[tacit halo]

yeah.

[harsh sentinel]

thats because they want people who are passionate about things they like and who do cool things in their free time

[tacit halo]

only 1 acceptance for my school and it is harvard

[bold dew]

I wouldn't wanna admit someone who only does coding 24/7
But there's a limit to how much non-CS I might require for them

[tacit halo]

everyone else is fked up

[harsh sentinel]

🫶 i will forever be a US system apologist

[tacit halo]

i think one got kenyon though from bnks

[low current]

oh i didnt know it was strong in polisci thats crazy

[tacit halo]

whaaat? i thought 2

who is the 3rd one?

[dim badge]

If you are so adamant on this why dont you just go to Oxford then?

[harsh sentinel]

there's no "requirement" that oh do this and you'll get in or oh write an essay about that and you'll get in

[bold dew]

Do you think IOI medalists aren't passionate about informatics? And I am saying that value of ECs and having "compelling lifestory" is way too emphasised in the US

[harsh sentinel]

literally all you need to do is be authentic

[dim badge]

The us system has different values and goals and its not gonna change

[bold dew]

I didn't get in there haha

• no aid

I got into imperial tho

US has fin aid

[tropic grotto]

universities don’t accept you because ur an outstanding student, they accept you because of fit and they think you suit their interests

[dim badge]

Congrats

[tacit halo]

i know 2. and i thought only 2 got in

[bold dew]

Hmm didn't work for me, good for you tho, your essays were indeed fire

[harsh sentinel]

again thats because colleges want to take in students that will not only do great things in the future and bring prestige to their university but also who will make their university and fellow students a better place

[bold dew]

thanks

[harsh sentinel]

you can't quantify a person's character based on their statistics

but colleges want people with interesting characters

[tacit halo]

hmm. does stanford like nerds?

[stoic stag]

there are a lot of us here

[dim badge]

yes

[tacit halo]

i don't think so

[tropic grotto]

its never one dimensional

[harsh sentinel]

again there's no set formula for it to "work" or not

[dim badge]

Hello intel

[tacit halo]

wow. i hope they like my lame ass essay

[pallid latch]

I believe Stanford looks for “Yo-mama” types

[tacit halo]

nerdy and boring as shit

[harsh sentinel]

there is an aspect of randomness and luck to the US system, however the ENTIRE process is not solely random or based on luck

[hard mirage]

nah 1600 sat is an autoreject

[stoic stag]

looks like the entire pack is here

[tacit halo]

i don't have 1600.

[harsh sentinel]

the luck primarily stems from the kind of mood your AO is in, the kind of applicants applying that particular year, etc

[tropic grotto]

i know i can’t beat the tryhards at stanford cs with merit so i had to go full on quirky mode
