Stanford University (2025-2026)

[shut estuary]

don't worry getting deferred from stanford is so unlikely

[north quarry]

deferred > waitlisted > extended waitlist > reject

[shut estuary]

me last year

[north quarry]

edged from November to July

[spare turtle]

My nightmare

[shut estuary]

yep that was me

[spare turtle]

I feel waitlist is just rejection but politer

[shut estuary]

it is a rejection basically

you can either attend or not attend

and attend = accept and not attend = waitlist or rejection

[spare turtle]

What do you think helped you get into columbia

[shut estuary]

people like to think it's in the middle but it's really not

[shut estuary]

i have no idea

luck

[spare turtle]

We're you qb

[shut estuary]

nope

[spare turtle]

Wait how do you know alr

[shut estuary]

i applied last year

[spare turtle]

Oh you deferred?

[shut estuary]

yes

[north quarry]

it does feel like that

[spare turtle]

Lucky bruh

I wish I applied last year and just chilled my last year of hs

Wait can you even do that

[north quarry]

no they got in and deferred their acceptance to next year

[shut estuary]

it is basically luck because most people have done everything they can and then now it's out of their control

[spare turtle]

Can you apply junior year if you get into nowhere good apply again?

[north quarry]

like gap year rn

[shut estuary]

that's not inherently bad but it doesn't always feel good

[shut estuary]

no lol im on a gap year

i applied in my last year of high school

[spare turtle]

Yea thats what most ppl do but I was curious

[north quarry]

my decision probably sitting in the portal waiting to be uploaded

[spare turtle]

Lol it starts with an A

[north quarry]

what starts with a A

[spare turtle]

Accept

[north quarry]

hopefully

[spare turtle]

But yea i think its likely gonna be next week

Cuz i delayed it for everyone

Sorry guys

They let me send in one of my recs late

[north quarry]

lmao

this late?

[spare turtle]

Yea so now the entire admissions team is gonna be tearing my rec apart

[spare turtle]

Yea lmao just sent today

[north quarry]

ok so it’s probably next week then

that’s crazy late though

[spare turtle]

Yeah

[north quarry]

what happened

[spare turtle]

Not sure

[north quarry]

teacher js forgot?

[spare turtle]

Hopefully they increase the class size avain

[spare turtle]

Oh no i wanted to change one of mine

Plus some updates to one of my ecs

Teacher rly chill with it I sent him the updates and he updated it

And the admissions office said they can still take it

And for him to send it as soon as possible

[north quarry]

💀

[spare turtle]

My old rec was kinda trash btw my teacher admitted to using chat gpt but he apparently rewrote it now so hopefully its good

He said he'll show me if I get accepted but I can't see it rn

[north quarry]

deadass didn’t know u could js swap it out this late into the game

[spare turtle]

Yea me.either

Decisions were supposed to come out this week but ig this proves their still reading

Or at least for borderline apps

[north quarry]

“yo pull this kids folder out bro sent in a new rec letter”

[spare turtle]

Lmaoooo

My odds prob went from 1% to 1.1%

Yo what if

I was alr accepted

Then they see the rec and change it to reject

I should stop speculating and lock in for my 2 math finals

Gl to you man

[prime spire]

is there any update on the decision date yet

[spare turtle]

Sometime next week but no one knows atp

[prime spire]

i need it to come out

literally cant focus on studying for finals

[velvet cipher]

how do we now next week

[spare turtle]

It can't be this week if they haven't announced it yet

as much as I wish for that to happen they wont randomly release it bruh

[north quarry]

cold drop

[prime spire]

ig the rumors of 19th were true

[velvet cipher]

why not?

they could announce it at 4 pm pst today

how do you know they must announce >=3 days before

[pastel mason]

any chance they just surprise us on friday?

[prime spire]

prob not

i wonder whats taking so long

heard it was a smaller applicant pool this year

[upbeat veldt]

where r u hearing this

[shut estuary]

source trust me bro

[upbeat veldt]

😂

[spare turtle]

True

But the chances are dwindling

[spare turtle]

Nah

Look on Google trends for Stanford application

Its highest ever

[shut estuary]

😭

[north quarry]

y’all dtm

[shut estuary]

facts

[spare turtle]

Yea they're still taking recs. Crazy

[humble sphinx]

Wait no way

[spare turtle]

See this is one of the reasons I dont think it can be this week

[humble sphinx]

I think my teacher might have not properly sent my rec

But not sure

External rec tho

[spare turtle]

Just email them to confirm they got it

Can't do you any bad

[humble sphinx]

Did you email them from your application enail

[spare turtle]

There was a form.on the websitr

[humble sphinx]

And also which email

[humble sphinx]

Admissions portal,

?

[spare turtle]

Sorry im literally outside in freezing cold in Minnesota can't type give me a sec

[humble sphinx]

Np

[spare turtle]

https://admission.stanford.edu/contact-us/index.html

Send a message option in here

[humble sphinx]

Should i just call

Is that not easier

[pastel mason]

yes please

[humble sphinx]

??

[spare turtle]

Sure

Ask them when decisions come out too

I think thats what the other guy was asking for

[humble sphinx]

I dont wanna risk it

[pastel mason]

yea thats what i thought u were calling abt

[spare turtle]

Yeah true

I was gonna call but I was nervous too so didnt

[pastel mason]

sorry

[humble sphinx]

Im js gonna call and ask abt rec

[spare turtle]

Kk let us know how it goes

[pastel mason]

everyones too nervous tho

[humble sphinx]

It cant hurt right

[spare turtle]

Wishing the best for you man

[humble sphinx]

To call

[spare turtle]

Nah

[pastel mason]

need one brave person

[spare turtle]

Tk

Yk

Theoretically

You can make an agent

That calls them

In an anonymous phone number

But im good nah

[velvet cipher]

Yeah because if you call them with your phone to ask they'll personally search through all the applications for this phone number and reject you because of it

[spare turtle]

Yeah you have a point

I bet a few others have done it

[pastel mason]

i mean they ended up calling 3 yrs ago

[velvet cipher]

People have called and they didn't say

Apparently

[spare turtle]

Oh well

You still staying on your bet for 12/12

We should make a polymarket for this lol

So the insiders can tell us what it will be

[humble sphinx]

They told me to email

[velvet cipher]

I've got $50 on it w a friend so I hope so

[humble sphinx]

Credentials@stan

[spare turtle]

Wanna do 50 with me /s

Also i feel they have a reason to postpone it a week

[shut estuary]

no

[spare turtle]

Which is every year its one less day for them

Like last year it was 12/13 year before 12/14 etc

[humble sphinx]

@spare turtle what did u email them

Dm me

If possible

[spare turtle]

So they have to push it a week sometime but we just dont know when

[teal kindle]

Does an external recommender appear on the checklist section?

Mine didn't appear only the teacher recs

[spare turtle]

Dude its not that deep i just said one of my recs wanted to do an update can he still send it, and apologized for being so late

And then I got a reply next day

[spare turtle]

Mine does yeah

You might want to check that then

Thats not good

[humble sphinx]

Oh i just wanted to check if they recieved my rec

[spare turtle]

Well mine says in common app

Let me check their portal

Actually mine only has teacher 1 and teacher 2

[gray peak]

lol calling them was so scary

[teal kindle]

Mine does in common app but not portal

[spare turtle]

On the portal

Yeah

[teal kindle]

Okay so we are good

[spare turtle]

You may be fine then

[humble sphinx]

Agreed

[spare turtle]

Yep

[humble sphinx]

When will these damn decisions come out bruhhhhgh

[spare turtle]

My rec was sent for sure (he knows it was cuz he works at stanford) so since its not on the portal its prob the same for everyone

Your good man

[humble sphinx]

Oh nice

W recs

[spare turtle]

What did you call abt

[humble sphinx]

I had my boss email

[spare turtle]

Nice

I think its less about who

And more about what they say tbh

[gray peak]

was last year

[spare turtle]

Yea ik you were the sumac person that got in right

[gray peak]

yah

[spare turtle]

Anyways guys wish me luck the roads are so terrible hope I dont crash today

Time to go home

[velvet cipher]

Wtf lucky

I'm in Oregon and it's mid December w 0 snow on the mountain

Genuinely depressing

[gray peak]

oh this is funny

I didn't know they were here 😭😭😭

[shut estuary]

theyre locked in

[spare turtle]

My fate has been sealed there

BTW since you went to sumac

[gray peak]

why are they so close to the gym

[spare turtle]

Do you happen to know my friend Cody qiu

He got in too

[gray peak]

nah we probably went different years

[spare turtle]

Oh he went last year

[gray peak]

oh yeah I wasn't doing it last year

[spare turtle]

Ohh mb

Thought you were a freshman

[gray peak]

I am a freshman loll

[spare turtle]

Oh you did it like earlier in hs

[gray peak]

yeah

[spare turtle]

Makes sense

[tough solstice]

bro i would never

[humble sphinx]

Tell them to take me

[gray peak]

I have no say in this 😭

[winter mural]

My application is probably in a trashbin there

After having accepted or deferred frfr

[gray peak]

ygs will be fine

[winter mural]

‼️‼️‼️‼️

I've made a Manifesting Stanford playlist on Spotify

I am gonna listen to it until the decision drops

What songs should I add? I have a lot of versions of All Right Now and Come Join the Band

[grizzled basin]

We are charlie kirk

[winter mural]

☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

[spare steppe]

somewhere in there, my rejection is sealed...

sdlfjaslkdfjkldsaj so scary

lydi i think if u go in there r look in the trash bin, u'd prob find my app 😭

[thin glen]

stanford only takes 2 teachers + 1 external right

[spare steppe]

isn't this an indication that ur still in the running tho?

idk

[thin glen]

no he just sent it in. they didnt request

[gray peak]

you'll be okay <3

[spare steppe]

i highk regret not applying to sumac tho 🥺

like it sounds so fun

(im a math nerd 😭 )

some stuff happened with some ppl at my school s.t. my self-esteem in math for soph/junior year was terrible

made me kinda despise math for a while too; i was too scared to apply to any "math camps" (although i know i would've enjoyed it tons if i didn't tie my self worth to others' comments)

[paper yoke]

im in LA and i was sweating balls at school today. its december. fuck LA.

[spark willow]

Any updates yet?

[humble sphinx]

1 B in calc BC cant hurt right

For REA

[gray peak]

it was fun :D

it's okay tho

[humble sphinx]

All other 23 classes i took i got an A in

[gray peak]

idts unless ur math heavy

[humble sphinx]

I applied mgmt sci and eng

And startups bg

Nothing really related to math

Thats calm right

Just one B

[gray peak]

yeah u should be chilling

[shut estuary]

no

[humble sphinx]

Bet

Wohoooo

[haughty obsidian]

:D

[glossy talon]

interesting

because jts really cold on the east coast this week

[spare steppe]

that's honestly so nice wow

no wonder eveyrone's glazing stanford weather 😭

ygs don't have snow there, right?

[steady dagger]

you will explode

[spare steppe]

bruh i die when the weather is like...below 30 degrees 😭

[glossy talon]

oh this is fahrenheit?

[shut estuary]

[spare steppe]

yes ik my dream school is in the midwest

[spare steppe]

...celcius 😭

[steady dagger]

[spare steppe]

jkjk but like reasonably below 25 is far too cold for me

my room is at 27 and sometimes that's too cold 😭

[glossy talon]

yeah this is on the east coast not near stanford… its all below zero celsius

[steady dagger]

dawg

[glossy talon]

stanford does not snow tho

[shut estuary]

okay lowkey like it's not like the "california heat" everybody talks about but as someone who grew up here i was very shocked when i went to other places and they had SEASONS

[glossy talon]

the lowest stanny ever gets is 12c

[steady dagger]

wait there are definitely seasons here i feel

[glossy talon]

😭

[steady dagger]

like its definitely fall rn

idk ive been here like 3 months

[shut estuary]

am i just a hater

[steady dagger]

but when im coming back from winter break im bringing a coat

[shut estuary]

ok wait it does rain

[steady dagger]

sometimes

[spare steppe]

oh mb howd i read east as west 💀

[steady dagger]

why do people simp for purdue

its in ind*ana

[spare steppe]

boah half my list is in the midwest 😭

[steady dagger]

the midwest is goated

just not ind*ana

[velvet cipher]

Quoting someone, "I heard that it will most likely be this Friday because Winter Closure is the 20th, so releasing the day before would be difficult if there were technical issues"

[fallen trench]

Why wouldn’t they announce it if it’s Friday tho

[velvet cipher]

Idk, same reason as why they wouldn't announce it if it's next Friday?

[fallen trench]

Well they would announce it next week if it’s next Friday

They wouldn’t announce 1.5 weeks in advance I think

[velvet cipher]

Why not

[tame herald]

guys i cant wait till next friday

can stanford pls lock in

[velvet cipher]

[spare turtle]

https://ivyhub-simulators.andressevilla.com/stanford/login.html

here you go guys

[spare steppe]

do ygs think there's a record amount of applicants this yr or

[spare turtle]

this is what will happen when it releases

[spare steppe]

feels like every year gets more competitive

[fallen trench]

Is it more likely at this point they drop it out of the blue on Friday or do it next week

[spare turtle]

yes

[low oriole]

yes

[spare steppe]

n idk what all the "college influencers" r on abt w our class having it the easiest

[spare turtle]

deferral is v good

[slow ferry]

Deferall is like 10%

[halcyon carbon]

Ong it’s so annoying

[spark willow]

For REA?

[slow ferry]

guys istg

[spare turtle]

yes

[slender wadi]

can they plz release it omg

[slow ferry]

if its next thursday ima kms

[spark willow]

Bro

Close the fkin app

[spare turtle]

i think that sums up why we're cooked

[tame herald]

thats all me

[slow ferry]

that doesn't mean more people appled rea

[spark willow]

And send me fkin result

[spare steppe]

yeah it's js getting more and more competitive every year

[spare steppe]

i think more interested ppl is a huge indication

[spare turtle]

yea test req isnt doing shit

[slow ferry]

ts is actaully getting ridiculous

i can't focus on shit

[fallen trench]

Same

[spark willow]

Fr💀

[slender wadi]

bro i know same

[fallen trench]

I legit cannot do anything

[slender wadi]

its like paralyzing

[spare steppe]

nor is the '08 recession (which i STILL dont get how that means we have apopulation dip)??? and nor r the new immigration policies

[spark willow]

Ppl with 1200SAT will still apply

[spare steppe]

ppl still b applying

[slender wadi]

i just want to know so i can celebrate or cope lol

[fallen trench]

I’m gonna bomb finals cuz of this

[spare turtle]

yea their just engagement farming

its a 0.2% dip in births

[spark willow]

Deadass?

[spare turtle]

while immigration to america still rose

[spare steppe]

these "consultants" saying "gun for ivies this yr it's SOOO easy like omg historical" highk pmo

[spark willow]

😭

[spare turtle]

and more people want college still

doesnt make any sense

[slow ferry]

what i've heard from some people is that

[grizzled basin]

did stanford post anything

i dont see anything

[low oriole]

this weekend is gonna be miserable

[spark willow]

No

[low oriole]

naur

[slow ferry]

stanford and harvard qb matches say they're going to see their official letter on the 18th/19th

[spark willow]

They’re still taking rec letters

[slow ferry]

in their portal

[spare turtle]

thats confirmed?

[velvet cipher]

WHAT

[slow ferry]

yes i just texted one of my friends

[spare turtle]

you just lost $50

[velvet cipher]

stanford qb matches 😭

[fallen trench]

Whatttttt

[velvet cipher]

bro fuh

[slow ferry]

he just told me qb harvard said it will be avaiable dec 18

[spark willow]

@trim cosmos can u confirm ts?😭

[grizzled basin]

r we srs rn

prolly next friday then

[velvet cipher]

ik this but

for stanford??

[spare turtle]

tritonist guy is super chill

[slow ferry]

idk about stanford

[fallen trench]

Yes we know that’s when Harvard is

[low oriole]

no the stanford letter didn’t say that

i saw someone post it

[spare steppe]

im still confused tho... if the recession happened in '08 and ppl fucked eachother less, wouldn't the consequences show in... at least 9 months? so like the next cohort 😭

[velvet cipher]

ok so you just made that shit up

[fallen trench]

Bro then that proves absolutely nothing

[spare turtle]

he deserves stanford so much

[slow ferry]

No like my other friend has friends who've told her it

[spare turtle]

buddy

[slow ferry]

for stanford specifically

[spare turtle]

why we spreading misinformation

[slow ferry]

I just haven't first hand seen it

[earnest bronze]

19th??

[spark willow]

[slow ferry]

but I trust her and her friends

[low oriole]

no no the stanford letter didn’t say anything lol

[spark willow]

No

[earnest bronze]

What does the Stanford letter say

[velvet cipher]

stanford letter said nothing yeah

it just said mid december

[low oriole]

mid-december

[spark willow]

Nothing

[slender wadi]

bruhh

[slow ferry]

I really fucking hope so man

i hope im wrong

[spark willow]

Just said mid Dec

[earnest bronze]

do we think it releases on a non Friday

[spare turtle]

me too we all hope your wrong

[earnest bronze]

cuz Dec 19 is very late

[slender wadi]

wait has anyone called them and heard smth

[spare steppe]

stanny copying harvard now ☹️

[earnest bronze]

they've released after Dec 15

[slow ferry]

i will actually be so deadass annoyed

[earnest bronze]

but not that late

[slender wadi]

possible

i think maybe 15

[earnest bronze]

someone said on Reddit that they can't comment on it and will announce on news soon

[velvet cipher]

this is honestly not out of question

[slender wadi]

bc theyre anywya not following the trend

[earnest bronze]

probs will be Tuesday next week icl

[velvet cipher]

like intuitively there should be no reason they HAVE to do it on a friday

[earnest bronze]

have they js been that swamped with applications this cycle?

[velvet cipher]

they could just drop that shi out of the blue

[slender wadi]

yeah i see that

no

[slow ferry]

stanford is on something man

[slender wadi]

ugh

[earnest bronze]

I thought test requirements would've lowered rea applications

ig not 😭

[spare turtle]

lol what i just realized my game has more people searching it than stanford rea it might be unreliable guys

[spare steppe]

and all yall chronically online goobers would STILL know the second it comes out

[slender wadi]

Leland Stanford Jr University is an educational institution in Stanford, California. The school is home to several world renowned educational departments, and is among the most selective in the United States.

[teal kindle]

Yes

[shut estuary]

yeah

12/2

[spark willow]

😭

They locked in

[shut estuary]

impressive

[remote hedge]

I cant believe they sent it out so late

[shut estuary]

i didnt think it would be this week tbh

[slender wadi]

agreed

holy i am so so scared

[remote hedge]

I already mentally prepped for 12/19

[spark willow]

Were fkin edging us atp

[slender wadi]

guys do u think there realistically is a chance REA for non FGLI legacy and ahtelete

[trim cosmos]

Realistically you’re not getting in even if you’re one of those (not including athlete)

[earnest bronze]

No BS do interviews matter for Stanford like u getting one

Bc ik they say it doesn't

[remote hedge]

How much weight is given if you're just FG?

[earnest bronze]

But I been noticing patterns

[spark willow]

Not rly ig

[humble sphinx]

Lmao

[slender wadi]

interviews dont matter

[earnest bronze]

From past years nd those who got an interview

like does Stanford do screening

[slender wadi]

i had a freidn who's itnerviewer wrote horroble comments on her app

and she got in

[shut estuary]

yeah...

[trim cosmos]

Stanford doesn’t prescreen

[earnest bronze]

horrible comments? God damn

[shut estuary]

no

[spare steppe]

they claim they don't, and i feel like if they secretly do then they'd get sued to heck

[trim cosmos]

But interview is important if you really shine

[earnest bronze]

Wb CS too 💔

[remote hedge]

I think the interview can really only help or do nothing

[shut estuary]

not really how it works

[low oriole]

there is a sinking pit in my stomach 🥀

[pliant atlas]

Type shi?

[slender wadi]

mostly its just to keep alumini engaged tho

[remote hedge]

Unless you're like saying insane stuff thats very no no

[trim cosmos]

My friend got in RD and he read his admissions file and he was gonna get waitlisted but his interview made him admit worthy

[humble sphinx]

Wait who r u dm me too

[shut estuary]

no they can swing things

[slender wadi]

and the level of glaze will greatly vary by who is ur interviewer io

[shut estuary]

but not getting an interview doesn't mean anything

[upbeat dune]

Look im soooo happy for yall but you just made my Friday as an A2C mod much worse

[slender wadi]

oh wow

[shut estuary]

4pm will be fun

[karmic raven]

everyone here got an interview?

[trim cosmos]

No

[trim cosmos]

Amherst my first love

[remote hedge]

yea. i got an old guy '77 whose degree isn't a thing anymore LOL

[karmic raven]

lmaoo

[remote hedge]

but he was chill

[spare steppe]

yeah, idt i did well tho 😭 yapped tm w no substance

idk why tho, cuz my friend who applied n also from my school didn't get an interview, even tho he submitted his app earlier than mine. maybe it's bc he's technically american studying in vn, and i'm vietnamese (n my interviewer was viet)? idk atp anymore

[remote hedge]

Anyone know how they grade "High School Rigor" because i've seen people take like DE/AP and then get like a 3 in that section and it seems oddly arbitrary to me. Like how does stanford define HSR?

[shut estuary]

your counselor determines high school rigor

unless im mistaken

[slow ferry]

4pm about to be litty

[spare steppe]

bro im scared of the kids who take 10 bajillion independent APs outside of school

[remote hedge]

i mean like when the AOs read it, they have a 1-6 score for HSR. how do the AOs determien that?

[shut estuary]

ah

they probably also base it off the counselor report

[slender wadi]

so scary

[remote hedge]

school based?

[shut estuary]

that doesnt really matter tbh

[shut estuary]

yeah the counselor submits a school report too

[trim cosmos]

It’s high school record, not rigor

[north quarry]

Who pinged me

[remote hedge]

Whats the difference?

[shut estuary]

stanford announced release date

[trim cosmos]

Rigor is one part of your record

[grizzled basin]

confirmdd for 12/12 4pm pst

[remote hedge]

whats another part of your record?

[shut estuary]

that makes more sense

[trim cosmos]

Class rank and shii and like that

I’ve never seen an HSR above 3 though

[remote hedge]

my school doesn't rank, so i just get my unweighted GPA and then my classes

[trim cosmos]

Because at a certain point I think you just meet the cutoff

[remote hedge]

above as in 4-6 or above or as in better score 1-2?

[spare steppe]

my school never has had a stanford admit in history 😭

[trim cosmos]

“Above” because 1 and 2 are better than 3

[spare steppe]

like ever

[teal kindle]

what majors did y'all apply for

[trim cosmos]

Yea I think they also consider this

[remote hedge]

Would NOT having an admit be a boost to your profile?

[trim cosmos]

I think more past admits = higher HSR

[north quarry]

guh

hope for the best

[trim cosmos]

Could be completely wrong though I got my info off reddit

[spare steppe]

but hey, worked out for u in the end, right? :D

[remote hedge]

Because if you are academically stronger than historically what your school ahs been, then wouldn't that equate to stronger profile if its school-based

[grizzled basin]

no it def makes a difference

[trim cosmos]

I mean

Yeah

[grizzled basin]

counselors always ask abt ur school history

bc past relationship and yield matters somewhat

[trim cosmos]

But my school sends 1-2 kids to Stanford every year because we’re in California

[verbal totem]

my school has sent 4 people to t20s in the past 4 yrs

[charred wind]

broo my school had 0 admits in the past 4 years, i only remember 2 admits in 2021

[neon flicker]

guys be normal in this thread during decision day ily tho!

[north quarry]

Stanford please continue the trend of the acceptances at my hs 🙏 🙏

[remote hedge]

We've had 0 admits in 33 years

[neon flicker]

by normal i mean do not attack each other ❤️❤️ I WISH YOU ALL LUCK

[charred wind]

does having no admits disadvantage us

[trim cosmos]

Ivy Day last year man

That was rough

[neon flicker]

STANFORD WANTS YOU GUYS BAD

[grizzled basin]

im haopoy fior abnyobe wgho gets into starnford

im sutre youyre all very cooopl

[trim cosmos]

My info might be outdated

[remote hedge]

I don't think so, i always thought it would benefit us, because if our profiles are academically stronger than the average, than that would be a boost. It's like someone comparing someone in rural iowa to metropilitan NY. rigor and stuff looks very different

[trim cosmos]

You don’t need past admits

[grizzled basin]

my heart rate is like 100000p bpj and my hadns are shaking like crayz for some reason'

[trim cosmos]

You need yourself to be a compelling candidate

[grizzled basin]

but if ug et into stranford i think ur a cool mans

[pliant atlas]

pretty much it’s just a really stupid looking super soaker

[north quarry]

dawg calm down 😭 wherever anyone ends up, it’s not the end of the road or the end of the world

[velvet cipher]

Yeah LFG

I knew it

All along

[neon flicker]

who ??

[grizzled basin]

this is very true

im just a meag tweaker

im, js feeling the pressure from my parents

[thin glen]

why would they get sued when other schools do it

[thin glen]

my interviewer wanted me to meet his son and offered me an intership for his quant firm

[remote hedge]

wth

bruh

[thin glen]

maybe worth applying even if i get rejected

[spare steppe]

they claim they literally don't screen tho and it's completely random/based on alum availability (?)

so if they say this and STILL secretly screen or selectively pick "who gets interviewed"

that would be lying

and wouldn't that be grounds to sue?

[thin glen]

schools like yale already do that. they would just tell us that they do that and no one would care

[gray peak]

interviews are awesome I talked about food with my interviewer for a solid 30 minutes

[grizzled basin]

my interviewer was an md phd grad currently in residency

it was really short but pretty chill i just yapped about research and writing

she knew paul kalanithi which was super cool

[pliant atlas]

We talked about them getting drunk at Stanford parties and breaking into lectures 😭😭

[elder mason]

thats true my interview was like 10 minutes 😭

interviewer straight up told me that this doesnt rly weigh in that much but he said he would put in a good word for me 😁

[gray peak]

same lol

[spare steppe]

my interviewer didnt say any of that 😭

but i highk think i fumbled mine tho

i yapped with no substance

my interviewer did engineering management sci tho so i enjoyed talking to him abt interdisciplinary stuff at stanny

[spare turtle]

NO WAY

[elder mason]

ohhh thats cool

[spare steppe]

cuz i rlly care abt social justice stuff too :D like aside from wanting to be a hella good engineer, i also wanna help women/under-represented groups in engineering yk

[elder mason]

mine is a cardiologist rn, switched from physics to bio or chem and did grad at nyu, so i couldnt rly talk to him that much since im cs. but we did talk a bit about ai

[dawn depot]

good luck y’all

Hope all of yall get in

[gray peak]

AI 😛

[elder mason]

on everybody we are all getting in

[spare steppe]

im dying then cuz ik for a fact im NOT getting in 😭

[dawn depot]

Applied RD so I’m worrying about my AP lit essay instead of stanny

[gray peak]

this is optimal

[elder mason]

he was pretty old so he was saying how it was cool and like back in my day. and i think he told me that bill gates bought like a building at stanford cuz of this one guy he hated (idk i dont realy remmebr anymore)

[elder mason]

have hope!!

[spare steppe]

yesss!! the purdue glaze never stops :D

[thin glen]

wut

[gray peak]

this is also pretty common

[shut estuary]

this is true for the majority of interviewers

[dawn depot]

Late March imma worry abt Stanny

[winter mural]

My interviewer was crazy

[spare steppe]

i mean 3% alone is so diabolical it's expected

[gray peak]

don't worry about the schools tbh it's counterproductive

[shut estuary]

[winter mural]

Bro apparently dropped out of Stanford to start his own cryptocurrency hedge fund but became addicted to cocaine

[gray peak]

this is not even surprising
