MIT should relatively soon as well but idk exactly when

[velvet cipher]

I'm gonna be afk

[winter mural]

my teachers are all way too confident that ill get in

like holy bro

[autumn blaze]

takes a dif kinda faith to believe that for stanford

[spare steppe]

schrodingers decision

i am both rejected and accepted to stanford before opening that letter

ergo

i will be seeing yall on campus next fall

(my ahh is fosho getting rejected bruh wtf r my essays 🥀 )

[autumn blaze]

we just dont open the letter and assume were accepted!

stellar plan

[low oriole]

i literally am so anxious waiting for decisions but i don't want them to come out at the same time

[steady dagger]

just show up on campus

who's going to stop you

[gray peak]

this is actually true

[low oriole]

wait i visited stanford on my birthday that's like a sign right

i visited 20 schools and that was the only one on my birthday so like i'm definitely getting in...

[humble sphinx]

Manifesting

[loud scaffold]

[spark willow]

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-01/fake-stanford-student-lived-in-campus-dorms

[vale charm]

oh shit @steady dagger ur eps

what discipline in eps? or just general

[loud scaffold]

He was previously accused of breaking into several campus dorm rooms and harassing multiple students, the newspaper reported, and at one point he allegedly told campus police he was homeless and “trying to escape the rain.”

bro, in turn, harassed students?

[steady dagger]

wait i lowk dont know what im going to major in anymore

ask me in like 3 years

[vale charm]

lmao

is this a canon event for every student at a top college

[steady dagger]

perchance

[vale charm]

istg all my friends in ivies + other t20s are like "maybe ill major in smth else"

[steady dagger]

i think there's often a large difference between what interests you and what you want to do with your life

im very interested in eps but i cant see myself doing the work eps people do for the rest of my life

[vale charm]

what interests me has a shitty ass pay

[vale charm]

like what field in eps? geology? met? env sci? astro?

[steady dagger]

i did a lot of geology/paleo in hs

i dont think id find it very fulfilling as a career

[vale charm]

nicee

[vale charm]

im afraid so yeah

[north quarry]

[vale charm]

[grizzled basin]

I js had acrazy dream

I got deferred but the aos were baiting and dropped fake decisions eatly

[winter mural]

UC Palo Alto

[grizzled basin]

Then when the rewl ones came around i was too yellow to open them

[spark willow]

u should lwk update us

when decision release

[winter mural]

Bet

My friend already made an agreement with me, if I get in, he'll get me 20 bags of chips, and if I don't get in, he'll treat me to a $5 Denny's meal, but if I get deferred, I pay him $20 and if I get stuck in Waitlist Hell™ he'll refund me $20

[spark willow]

lmao

[winter mural]

Fr

[spark willow]

do u have crazy stats and ECs and honors 😭

[winter mural]

Statistically, I'm likely to get a Denny's meal but also there will be miracles when you believe™

[winter mural]

No king 😭😭😭, I genuinely don't know why my teachers are so confident

[spark willow]

😭

[winter mural]

Like I haven't cured cancer or started a nonprofit or published research or started a multi billion dollar empire or have gotten POTUS to write a letter of recommendation for me

All I did was do robotics and band and formed a band during a huge teacher strike 😭

And some other minor stuff

And I basically have no honors

[spare steppe]

u got WHO?

😭

[spare steppe]

i do robotics and jazz band too! omg do u like jazz?

[winter mural]

[winter mural]

Vex is unpopular here

[spare steppe]

[winter mural]

Idk if it does, I didn't think so, but I think I alluded to it

[winter mural]

YES ME TOO

Friday gotta hurry

[winter mural]

We ALL are getting into Stanford this Friday

[timid sedge]

This year's poll is gonna be 100% accepted

[shut estuary]

the poll is always higher than expected

the people here are quite amazing

you included, probably

[timid sedge]

Yeah 31% last year was crazyy

[timid sedge]

Thanks!

[north quarry]

my school had a 8% acceptance last year what are my chances💔

[teal kindle]

Wait that's crazy

[timid sedge]

To just Stanford?

[timid sedge]

Yeah

Hope it wasn't a fluke

[north quarry]

out of the ppl who appplied

[timid sedge]

That's actually kinda good

[mental sundial]

thats hella good, isn't that literally like 2x the default rate?

[astral leaf]

yeah our school is 0 in the last 5 years

💀

[north quarry]

it’s probably cause we’re an art school

[teal kindle]

It prolly is cuz the only people likely to vote are the ppl who got in

I forgot what the bias for that is

Oh that'd pretty cool

[glossy talon]

Same.

someone got in in 2020 and didnt go

we have been yield protected ever since

[north quarry]

wait what was it referencing 😭

[humble sphinx]

When is REA coming out bruh

Or when do we find out when its coming out

[spark willow]

They lwk should release it 1h later

😭

Istg

[humble sphinx]

Mannn

[spark willow]

Y tf ts takes so long

[humble sphinx]

Ikr

Do u feel confident

[spark willow]

[humble sphinx]

Symbolic systems i think

[humble sphinx]

Lol i feel u

Chat im ridiculously anxious for decisions

To come oit

[shut estuary]

not how it works

[spare steppe]

there r kids w/ 4.18/1540; 4.05/1570... still rejected 😭

[shut estuary]

gpa/sat is a very small part of the decision making factor

[humble sphinx]

Idt that matters much

[humble sphinx]

Yeah

I feel like supps and ecs make a big difference

[spare steppe]

what does matter then 😭

i mean ig ther'es not much i can do

it's submitted

[shut estuary]

depending on how nihilistic you are, you could say nothing really matters

[spare steppe]

there's this one kid, also from an intl school in my city who got into stanny last yr

n he went to the intl economics olympiad 💔

ib pg 45/45

1570 sat apparently

💀

[shut estuary]

nice

you this year

[velvet cipher]

I mean isn't this just bare minimum

Like if you have worse stats you're probably not getting in

[shut estuary]

not really true

[spare steppe]

🥺

[shut estuary]

no misinfo please

[spare steppe]

bruh that one stanny guy on yt w/ the college advice saying "4.0 is ez, if u don't have a 4.0 what is wrong with u" is... 💔

[velvet cipher]

have I been disillusioned

[spare steppe]

i dunno he js makes me sad lol

[shut estuary]

very troll

[shut estuary]

mayhaps

[spare steppe]

if i somehow get into stanny...im dying my hair red 😭

luckily i prob won't! so i don't have to

[shut estuary]

food is a good thought to have

[trim cosmos]

Nope

[spark willow]

not rly

if u ask current stanford students, this is not the case

but they're still amazing ppl

[gray peak]

the people I know are like 1540+

[humble sphinx]

[gray peak]

last year it was december 13

[remote hedge]

how sure are you of this

[gray peak]

which was a friday

[grizzled basin]

if stanford wants to stay awesome it would be in their best interests to not accept me 🥹

[humble sphinx]

I saw on reddit

Somewhere

[dawn depot]

My friend said rea comes out this Friday, is that not true?

[grizzled basin]

TBD

we dont know

no official info yet

[remote hedge]

3 days before the REA date they usually have an annoucnemtn 4pm PST

however.....

[grizzled basin]

if it's not friday im actually going to cry

[gray peak]

[grizzled basin]

im not very awesome unfortunately

[gray peak]

nah u gotta believe

[grizzled basin]

oh yeah im so awesome

[low oriole]

i’m gonna be on a flight to korea on the 19th

[dawn depot]

Yeesh I feel bad, I applied RD and I submitted a few days ago cuz I’m submitting an arts portfolio but my friend is crashing out I feel so bad for her 😭🙏

[grizzled basin]

i cant fucking take it

[low oriole]

it needs to be before then 😭

[grizzled basin]

i had a crazy dream last night where my pi died for some reason?? so i was taking care of his patients now and then some really popular kid got in northwestern ed and we were all celebrating then stanford dropped and i got deferred and i was like fuckkkkk and then they went hahah fakeout those were fake decisions and i was too yellow to open my real one

im actually a tweaker

[dawn depot]

Genuinely thought you meant like 3.14 pi 😭🙏

I’m stupid bro ignore me

[grizzled basin]

nuh uh im the stupidest

[remote hedge]

[dawn depot]

I wish yall luck bro

[grizzled basin]

HAHAHAH real

[remote hedge]

Chances they do the 13th this year?

[elder mason]

i acc need to know

😢😢😢😢

[humble sphinx]

Why is stanford edging us

[dawn depot]

Did anyone do an arts portfolio or am I alone

Cuz lowkey I also kinda tweaked out doing that

But it’s fineeee

[grizzled basin]

very unlikely tbh

[low oriole]

i wanted to but i didn’t meet the REA + arts portfolio deadline and then i chose REA over including an arts supp

[grizzled basin]

i dont think they do sat cuz someone has to be there when they drop but nobody wants to work on a freaking saturday

stanford needs to add a creative writing portfolio option ☹️

[dawn depot]

I saw that, and I’m from Texas so I was prioritizing UT Austin instead. I really wanted to add my photography so I did RD

[low oriole]

yooo i’m from texas too

UT fucked up my app tho

[dawn depot]

engineering major that takes photos bro 🤡🤡🤡

[dawn depot]

Wait why

[low oriole]

they categorized me as an out of state applicant rn

[spare steppe]

wait guys have we heard anything from them? does this mean rea is coming out next wk instead?

[low oriole]

watch me get rejected from both my majors and put into auto admit econ 😭

[dawn depot]

Man UT is genuinely crashing tf out no joke

[grizzled basin]

hey im an east asian male engi major who likes to write

east asian male engi and writing are like oil and water

[low oriole]

no they’re actually awful i called sm times and talked to a director of admissions and they basically said fuck you sorry

[dawn depot]

Which engineering???

[grizzled basin]

ive never met anyone as cooked and fried as me

biomed

[low oriole]

they claim it’ll make no difference on my app but wtv

[grizzled basin]

i mean i applied comp bio

[gray peak]

yes i did one last year

[low oriole]

yooo i applied bme to some schools

[spare steppe]

omg drop ur ao3!!

[grizzled basin]

nah i used to post on webnovle

[spare steppe]

piano?

[grizzled basin]

had 5 digit views and then deleted it after my friends found it

[gray peak]

composition

[dawn depot]

Oh yay!!!

That’s so cool

[grizzled basin]

composition is so auraful

[gray peak]

i love composing it's so whimsical

[dawn depot]

I did photography but idk if my photos are like what they rlly want

[low oriole]

fr i could never

[gray peak]

it's okay, it will never hurt your application

if anything it shows that you're interested

[dawn depot]

That’s cool, I did aero

aero everywhere

[grizzled basin]

i did comp bio, bme, or bioengineering depending on school

cuz i have stuff for all of them

and idt aos even really know the difference

and then second major creative writing 🤩

kill me now

[spare steppe]

same lol. i fear im too simple of a human being to have more than 1 intended major 😭

[gray peak]

idt it makes too much of a difference which major you indicate when applying

but the math department did send me a cute letter when i committed so that was fun

[low oriole]

i hope not cuz i did dsss and im lwk regretting it now 😭

[dawn depot]

I LOVE YOUR NAME IM A PURDUE SIMP TOO

[spare steppe]

i wanna learn jazz comp sm 🥺 and i wanan get good at improv yk

[dawn depot]

Purdue pls 🙏

[spare steppe]

YEAH!!! boiler up rahhhh

[gray peak]

learn jazz theory :D

[dawn depot]

My friend goes there and she’s sending me photos rn and I’m getting so much fomo

[grizzled basin]

why is everyone here a stem major LMAO

no humanities in a2c

[dawn depot]

I like visual arts a lot, didn’t apply to the arts tho

[low oriole]

cuz we’re boring as my debate partner would say

[gray peak]

lowkey stanford culture is predominantly stem but there's a nontrivial number of non stem people

[spare steppe]

oh, i dont personally know anyone who goes there (ppl r getting rejected left n right around me) but purdude sent some rlly cool photos that give me fomo too 😭

[grizzled basin]

yeah nah stanford is def more of a stem school

[spare steppe]

the engineering fountain is so pretty my gosh

[grizzled basin]

but like the reason it appeals to me the most is i can keep doing writing

caltech mit humanities departments are mega small

[gray peak]

it is :D

[spare steppe]

i tthought stanford was crazy good for entrepreneurship/ polisci / IR too

and isn't it one of the top law schools

[gray peak]

this is true

[glossy talon]

YEAH WHY IS EVERYONE IN A2C STEM

[low oriole]

did anyone here apply for berkeley met by any chance…

[upbeat dune]

NOBODY READS https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/LNDCJuQNSu

[upbeat dune]

The Reddit is why I had to flip Harvard to speculated even though I’m quite sure I’m correct

[spark willow]

😭

[low oriole]

So prob abt the same

[spare turtle]

[humble sphinx]

Free liv she didnt do noth

[spare turtle]

but there are more applications this year

i think

[remote hedge]

"In all, Stanford enrolled 196 more first-year and transfer students compared to last year"

[grizzled basin]

i think test req helps but not like that that much

[spare steppe]

i also dont get it cuz the recession was in 08, wouldnt the effect only kick in... 9 months later?

or is there a flaw in my logic

[humble sphinx]

Crashout nation

[spare turtle]

most people who are trying have 34+ act or 1500+ so its not that eliminating really

@spark willow what are you stats + ecs if your so confident

[low oriole]

this is so buns

[merry widget]

Lowkey allat doesnt matter im not tapped into those stats but that makes sense

[spare turtle]

i dont think anyone can be that confident at a school like stanford

[grizzled basin]

*you're

haha

[dire sapphire]

are you actually only applying to Stanny

[merry widget]

I present to you: @undone sail my goat

[remote hedge]

[spare turtle]

sorry

[grizzled basin]

if so this is actually fucking psycho behavior

[spare turtle]

You're absolutely right

[merry widget]

Actually idk about their confidence but theyre absolutely goated

[grizzled basin]

it's ok i js like to troll my friends know

[fallen trench]

[dawn depot]

Are you fr rn

[humble sphinx]

5tar

[fallen trench]

is it basically guranteed its not coming out tonight atp?

[merry widget]

I was confident in you😔 ❤️

[grizzled basin]

im like half serious

if i went back with starry eyes id still end up rea stanny i think

but in hindsight cornell was the objectively correct choice

[merry widget]

Ts palo alto is so expensive man

[grizzled basin]

also cuz my school gets like 6~7 cornell every year unironically

[merry widget]

I spent like $30 on a meal

Either im a fatass or ts is expensive

[spare turtle]

Lol true

[grizzled basin]

actually that's a lie

[gray peak]

the only people who are confident are the IMO people

[low oriole]

and if you get into stanford?

[grizzled basin]

probably more like 3~4 + 3 waitlist

[grizzled basin]

if i get into stanford fuck this lmao

[spare turtle]

I was at coupa at stanford and the most basic burger was 15

[humble sphinx]

[merry widget]

[merry widget]

Unfortunately my bench is very natty

[humble sphinx]

Lmaooo sup how are ya

[dawn depot]

The last Stanford admit we had was when I was a sophomore 😭

[spark willow]

I was doing what like

[spare turtle]

the last stanford admit we had was when i was in elementary school

[grizzled basin]

ok im ngl my school is really sus tho with our results

[remote hedge]

my school has had 0 in our 33 year history

[spark willow]

So it’s either fk up so bad or cook

[upbeat dune]

some of you need to get offline bc i just realized this kid caught the stanford decision update within 10m of it getting pushed

[grizzled basin]

bc we havent had stanny that wasnt recruit or 3 gen legacy since 2016

but we get multiple harvard, multiple yale every year

[spare turtle]

was the sheet recently changed

[grizzled basin]

multiple brown and columbia

[spare turtle]

or was it always 12/19

[grizzled basin]

but then the flip side is we like never get any penn never any mit never any stanny never princeton

[merry widget]

Holy feeder

[upbeat dune]

i changed it at 4:02pm, it usually takes about 5 minutes to push to website (so 4:07pm) and this kid caught it at 4:11pm

[spare turtle]

oh you make that sheet

your such a goat

tysm

[dawn depot]

Lowk my school is just a bunch of cracked Asian kids so we get fried

[spare turtle]

😭

[grizzled basin]

like no princeton for at least 5 years from what i know, no mit for 5 years at least, we got 2 penn last year but non committed and prior to that we barely sent to penn

[grizzled basin]

yeah but the thing is it's like really sus the way they do it

[spare turtle]

fuck

i have to update my website

[grizzled basin]

they have the go to harvard harvard book prize and then a bunch of harvard legacies

[dawn depot]

Private school core

[grizzled basin]

so i wouldn't get that support

we also have that go to yale yale book prize too

[grizzled basin]

very true

i hate it here

[upbeat dune]

Least anxious a2cers

[grizzled basin]

Then there’s my school when one of my friends counselors put in their transcript the day before UT Austin was due

[grizzled basin]

yeah i think u get image perms after being unemployed

[upbeat dune]

I’m sure you worked very hard on your site bc mine is literally a Google site so it says smth that it’s getting clicks

[low oriole]

wait what part of texas are you in

[grizzled basin]

then there's my school that has the headmaster send letter of recs to get kids off waitlists

[spare turtle]

Oh Lol

[grizzled basin]

only for valedictorian

[spare turtle]

but hey traffic is traffic

[grizzled basin]

private school is like unimaginably privileged

unsurprisingly

[dawn depot]

DFW area

[spare turtle]

is it too late to ask stanford if i can update one of my recs

[low oriole]

oh rip i’m west texas 🥀

[spare turtle]

one of my teachers used chat gpt

im so cooked

[grizzled basin]

[humble sphinx]

I was gonna crash i thought this said surprisingly

[humble sphinx]

Brochacho

[spare turtle]

[dawn depot]

ah 💔 my school has too many god damn cheaters bro

[grizzled basin]

hahahaha

[spark willow]

Dang

We’re second

[spare turtle]

you caught that at the right time

[dawn depot]

So I’m like fighting for my life trying to be in a good ranking

[spark willow]

On college thread😭

1st is UCs

[grizzled basin]

the thing is it's privileged but it's also soooo freaking rough being an asian nerd in this kind of environment

[upbeat dune]

This is sorted by most recently active

[low oriole]

no same lolll

[spark willow]

Ikik

[grizzled basin]

cuz priviliged kids dont really understand that people like to do things so i got mega bullied when i first transfered but im reaping the rewards of privilege now so i cant complain

[spark willow]

I compared with other threads

[grizzled basin]

a2c is lowk secretly all cali kids

[dawn depot]

Our school like highlights the top 10 kids in the class, one of them cheated his way thru it and he’s in my physics c and that’s ALL he talks abt is being top 10

[grizzled basin]

i think every school highlights the top 10 kids right

[spare turtle]

wow going to a competitive school must suck

[grizzled basin]

i think every school has insane cheaters too

[spare turtle]

im like near middle of nowhere in minnesota

[dawn depot]

If I had to guess, he’s probably applying in the Ivys

[grizzled basin]

my school has an insane cheating problem

[spare turtle]

and everyone goes to state school

[humble sphinx]

Well chat, seems like the 12th is behind us.

❤️🦃💯😜😖🙃✌️

[grizzled basin]

but the thing is it's like all the top kids are locked in and grinding but it's the 80th percentile that is chatgpt grinding

[dawn depot]

It kinda does, but I’m kinda prepared for how that grind is gonna be

[low oriole]

yesss this

well

actually no

idk

eh

[spare turtle]

Lol

[grizzled basin]

and then theyre like broo u try os hard and my grades are almost the same as yours

FUCK YOU AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[pastel mason]

so is it coming out friday or no?

[dawn depot]

Also we have grade inflation within different schools in our district, and ofc I go to the school with the hardest classes and teachers

[grizzled basin]

[spark willow]

No idea

[humble sphinx]

@gray peak @haughty obsidian @clear thorn can yall run down to the AOs and tell them to lock in

[grizzled basin]

oh we hgave mega grade inflation

[spark willow]

[grizzled basin]

the average weighted gpa is 94 here

out of 100

[spare turtle]

prob not

[dawn depot]

WHAT the fuck

[spark willow]

Fr

[gray peak]

it's finals week bro 😭

[humble sphinx]

For the love of the game please

[grizzled basin]

the valedictorian has like a 101.6

but he's actually insane

[dawn depot]

Holy grade inflation

[grizzled basin]

everyone below him is separated by like .1~.2

it's absurd

[grizzled basin]

he is lowk just him tho

[dawn depot]

I’m friends with our Val, he’s lowk the silliest guy ik

[grizzled basin]

the typical gpa "killers" are bc calc at physics which people usually get 89s in but bro dropped single digit points in both classes

yeah im friends with him and he's chill af but also like insanely locked in

[humble sphinx]

Wait so confirmed its not coming this fri???

[dawn depot]

GPA killers at our school is Calc, Physics, and AP world

[humble sphinx]

Calc BC for us

[grizzled basin]

i say "killers" bc with an avg of 94 nothing can kil that gpa

[dawn depot]

I’m like dying in bc rn

[grizzled basin]

i loveee bc

very cool class

[humble sphinx]

😭

[velvet cipher]

Noooo they didn't announce :((((

[humble sphinx]

Yeah u got that twin

[grizzled basin]

our school had a 100% 5 rate last year lmao

[dawn depot]

our teacher is very adamant on frying us

[humble sphinx]

Bros 49 min late ✌️ lock in twin

[north quarry]

bro rlly said he loves bc

[grizzled basin]

tbf im going into computational science so i kinda hafta

bc is what made me like math

[humble sphinx]

Eh makes sense

[grizzled basin]

now im locked in on math

[dawn depot]

I like math, but I think BC as a class kinda is bad

[grizzled basin]

i personally disagree bc i feel like bc is when u finally apply everything and use it and it's kinda sick

[dawn depot]

I have an A but I’m like grinding for it

[humble sphinx]

Chat lets think postively

Maybe they are taking more of us in

[dawn depot]

No I get the use of BC don’t get me wrong I’ve used it before, but it’s MY school’s class that is bad

[humble sphinx]

Pls stanford

[grizzled basin]

lowk our bc teacher is also just goated he goes wayyyy beyond the syllabus and even tho bc is a senior class and they typically just give up on studying before the eams he still got like >95% 5s before he retired

[low oriole]

wait i’m lwk stressed about gpa right now (way in the back of mind cuz college is more important) but im ranked 1 rn and i have a 4.6283 but i know #2 has a 4.62 something and #3 has a 4.6188 like this is too close for comfort

[grizzled basin]

BROO i was so stressed for 1st round too

bc i had 99.81

and i could name 6~7 people (unironically) with gpa above 100

[humble sphinx]

Weightez?

[grizzled basin]

so i was soooooo freaking close

weighted yeah

and our top 10 is 12 kids

[humble sphinx]

Did u have any Bs

In HS

[grizzled basin]

nope

[humble sphinx]

Nice

[spare turtle]

it doesnt matter bro the only person who got in from my city last year was ranked like #14 / 300 or smth

[humble sphinx]

I had 1 b

[grizzled basin]

my shcool's average is a 94 bs are not real here

[humble sphinx]

calc BC

[grizzled basin]

do not compare my cooked gpa scale to yours

[humble sphinx]

82 in BC

[low oriole]

oh yea i don’t care about the rank for college admissions lol it’s cuz for UT Austin (if i have to go there) the valedictorian gets free tuition first year and I want that just in case

[grizzled basin]

yeah u can kinda get fried in bc if u arent a math person

[spare turtle]

ohh your in texas makes sense then. yea i used to live in plano lol

[grizzled basin]

like bc is inuitive, but the thing about math intuition is it's not very intuitive so u gotta grind for ur intuition

[humble sphinx]

we have the hardest fuckin bc teacher in the damn east coast bc my school has the #1 national stem program (thank god im not in that damn academy)

[grizzled basin]

[low oriole]

(TLDR: Among undergraduates admitted for Fall 2023 entrance, 276 were the children of Stanford graduates. For some of these students, their admission files also noted a history of family philanthropy. An additional 19 admitted students had no legacy affiliation with Stanford, but their admission files noted a history of family philanthropy that could be considered along with all other factors in the admission process. Together, those with either of these two characteristics totaled 295 students, or 13.6% of the admitted class.)

[north quarry]
