Stanford University (2025-2026)

[verbal totem]

trust i will manifest for u to get off!! if they r schools u want to go to. a2c will beat these wl

[little cliff]

i agree but i think some of it has to be true

[little cliff]

only 2 are schools i wanna go to tbh

[gritty glen]

wat major :P

[little cliff]

columbia and cornell are the 2 waitlists i care ab

[spring crane]

i keep seeing people with worst stats than me get into ivy league, same country

[grand tangle]

I mean Im very gratefulll and will prob go there but I've loved Stanford since I was a kid

[broken mesa]

twin

[verbal totem]

reddit was the same that “found” portal astro at 3 am for princeton and ended up getting the admissions office to disable the page temporarily 😭

[little cliff]

but it kinda annoys me getting waitlist knowing i will hustle all summer to try to get off it and then not even succeed

[broken mesa]

CMU and 4 Ivy waitlists

[verbal totem]

oh columbia will move for sure

last year was insane

[little cliff]

thank you though

[little cliff]

💔

congratulations on cmu

what major r u doing

[little cliff]

really?

[spring crane]

heard columbia let 400 kids off last year

[little cliff]

i thought columbia only takes like 5% of the waitlisted people

[verbal totem]

last year columbia took off like 400 people during the summer

it was insaneee

[quasi locust]

i feel like columbia has bad yield

they should be taking ppl off

[little cliff]

how many people were on the waitlist?

like what percent wwas that

[verbal totem]

im not sure! columbia hasnt posted those stats yet

but there were several people in this server

who got into columbia off the waitlist

[little cliff]

i forget where i read this but i got the idea that around 4-5% only got off it

i could be wrong tho

[verbal totem]

let me see if i can find a statistic

[little cliff]

hoping that happens

well i'm not too unhappy with JHU

it's a good school

i'm glad i got that

[spring crane]

yeah

at least we have somewhere to go ig

but still its like 4 years of work for 2 mins of rejections

lol

[little cliff]

well it's not just "somewhere to go"

it's a good place to go

just not the BEST place

but definitely good

i'm satisfied w what i got i think

i'd be unhappy if i had to go to like t50 or state flagship

that would be just "somewhere to go"

[grand tangle]

Yeah that's how I feel too

[verbal totem]

u have to remember also that a big part of all of these colleges is the composition of everyone in it. at schools like jhu where u have insanely talented and driven individuals, thats where a ton of the “prestige” and stuff comes from. u got in which means u are part of that incredibly capable group that will literally change the world because u have that motivation and dedication. thats what makes ur college experience worth it and the best it can be.

[balmy raft]

the next 4 years 🔥

[gritty glen]

tree

https://klipy.com/gifs/plant-tree

[little cliff]

i dont understand what you mean im sorry 😭

do u mean like the prestige is less than hypsm but the student base is where the real value is from?

[verbal totem]

im saying “prestige” is an objective term and it all comes from talented people like YOU who have the drive and determination

the “prestige” u have with any T20 all stems from the talent and drive. dont get too caught up in the fact ur not at XY school when u have an amazing school that is full of people who literally will change the world

idk if that makes sense… hopefully

[broken mesa]

At CMU?

CS

[karmic raven]

omg you committed 👀

[little cliff]

yeah i'm not gonna be like mopey at jhu that i'm not at columbia or cornell instead

[dusky gulch]

Come on Intellectual Vitality
Come in clutch

[little cliff]

all t20 have good opportunities, good students good recruiting and all that

comparison is the thief of joy

[little cliff]

niceee that's goated then

cmu cs

goated

[little cliff]

and thank you

[gritty glen]

I think stanford likes horses

i hope they like my essays

[little cliff]

yes it'll be okay for us even if we dont get our dream schools because we're hardworking

[little cliff]

as do i

good luck

[verbal totem]

my stanford essays were so bad omg 😭

[little cliff]

[little cliff]

[gritty glen]

I lowkey think stanford and rice were my strongest essays and I got flat out rejected by rice so I dont think its a good sign

Oh well idc IDC

[little cliff]

it's not all about that

my brother got into the schools where his essays were bullshit

he was totally surprised by it

[verbal totem]

i thought my yale were rlly good.. guess not 😭

omg i need to email my interviewers

i was not gonna email them at 2 am last night

[gritty glen]

[verbal totem]

its ok my mit queen 👑

[gritty glen]

ty ty ❤️ beaver

[verbal totem]

they all find out if u get in or not lol but a lot of them were super kind to me i want to let them know where i ended

especially my yale interviewer

she was giving me employment advice!

[balmy raft]

be chill guy

[gritty glen]

Aurrrr okay

[balmy raft]

mit is goat

[gritty glen]

my stanford interview was so nice we spoke mandarin for like part of the interview

[balmy raft]

it’s ugly

[verbal totem]

omg my friend is at mit and he is a frat president 😭

[gritty glen]

my princeton interviewer hated me so bad 💀 he was like on his phone

not writing notes....btw

He replied to one of my responses and was like "yeah thats a pretty basic answer." And I was like its so over for me 💔

[balmy raft]

im mildly upset that yale flat rejected me

but idc

[verbal totem]

i am too a bit

a waitlist would be nice..

especially after my yale interview

it was almost 3 hours!!

[broken mesa]

the waitlist only has 970 people on it

[verbal totem]

oh well roll crimson

this next year yale is losing harvard yale because abba is there.

i will be on the football team btw. i will be scoring the homeruns.

https://tenor.com/view/asian-peter-peter-griffin-gif-7961514309382317864

[neat nymph]

[broken mesa]

[gritty glen]

sus??!!!

[verbal totem]

oh well its stanford

[gritty glen]

What does that mean

[verbal totem]

la quinta university

[broken mesa]

nothing i assume

no astro

[verbal totem]

u gonna get sent away

[karmic raven]

sorry to hear that

[solar notch]

Haha

[gritty glen]

Every mod just got online

[karmic raven]

but also 🌲🔝

[spring crane]

shadow realmed

[karmic raven]

yes I’ve been committed for months

[balmy raft]

ayyy

[karmic raven]

only applied rd bc I was tryna get aid to negotiate more from Stanford

😞

yes

there’s

currently two

[solar notch]

If the pixel at 102x 1035y is white, u a shoein for a bird tree

[balmy raft]

lowkey same but I didn’t get any peer schools

[karmic raven]

bc the first one got full

[balmy raft]

oh what’s the second one

I’m in tree 🌲 with chill guy photo

[verbal totem]

oh yeah ive heard stanford will not match aid 💀

lowk frustrating

[balmy raft]

they honestly don’t care I think 💀

[spring crane]

how does the CA government regulate legacy preference

[solar notch]

Did some schools actually match aid offered by others?

[karmic raven]

I’ll add u to the second one if you want

[balmy raft]

yes pls

[karmic raven]

yeah & their finaid dept is lowk kinda frustrating

but we ball it

if

ig

😭

[solar notch]

Hmmm

[balmy raft]

I think I probably follow you already since I follow requested everyone 💀

[gritty glen]

this is so silly too because I feel like half of the stanfordians are probably like. Yes my father owns apple. Like theres no way that you cant afford to give out more aid if ur student population mostly dont need it

[little sundial]

any deferred people here 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺

[karmic raven]

yeah prob lol

[verbal totem]

RIGHT??

and its like

they prob r like

if u have a better offer go there. we have another full pay on the waitlist

[solar notch]

Do most schools offer you a financial aid packet if you are on the waitlist?

[steady dagger]

no

[solar notch]

One school did for me, I thought it was pretty weird

[neat nymph]

It would be poetic if I got into stanford after not getting an acceptance in like 10 decisions

[gritty glen]

wat major

[solar notch]

Sorry

[neat nymph]

EE

[broken mesa]

i need this

[tough solstice]

last decision 😤

[broken mesa]

all those trees i doodled in spanish class cannot be for nothing

[gritty glen]

OO thats cool 😎

[neat nymph]

Esp cuz I wasnt gonna apply to stanford originally I changed my mind last moment

[solar notch]

Join the 60,000 other people hoping for the best

[verbal totem]

i was so scared cus i only took 2 years of spanish 😭

freshman yr and senior yr

[solar notch]

Cooked

[neat nymph]

yaur

[verbal totem]

but i had good excuse because when all the teachers at ur school quit there isnt much u can do

[gritty glen]

Omg me too 😭 WHY DO SPANISH TEACHERS DO THAT

[verbal totem]

IT WAS LIKE

ALL OF OURS??

WE LOST EVERYONE FOR EVERY LANGUAGE

[little sundial]

French >>>

🥱

vivre le france

[gritty glen]

we've had like 5 of them leave mid semester and the classes just had like random subs the rest of the year

[little sundial]

allez les bleus

[little sundial]

can't even conjugate the imperative damn i suck

[verbal totem]

ours get pushed online

to weird online stuff

[elder wyvern]

is every school u apply to supposed to reach out and verify financial information through idoc

[solar notch]

Is email astrology allowed? So far I’ve only gotten emails to check for an update from those schools I’ve been accepted to. But the emails come out after it’s available on the portal so you’re only talking minutes of advance notice

[verbal totem]

email astrology is not a thing

u cannot predict admissions from an email

[gritty glen]

bro we are getting desperate in here 💔 tbh me too

[solar notch]

Not all schools require more than fafsa afaik

[verbal totem]

dartmouth sent me an update but i did not get in but others sent me nothing

it means nothing

[little sundial]

guys does stanford admit from deferral ;-;

[verbal totem]

yes 😭

[gritty glen]

Yaaa

[verbal totem]

stanford defer is rlly good

[little sundial]

frick

[verbal totem]

iirc they dont defer a lot

[little sundial]

how much hope

🥺

[neat nymph]

unlike harvard

[verbal totem]

its not like harvard

[little sundial]

i didnt let senioritis touch me

[verbal totem]

HAHA

[neat nymph]

lol

[dusky gulch]

Aren’t essays like the most important tho

[neat nymph]

idk why i said harvard I was gonna say MIT

[little cliff]

i mean

i'm not sure

[solar notch]

Does sound like some schools only defer very small pile

[little cliff]

i'm not an AO but i know if they really want YOU you can get in with bad essays

if u have some super unique qualities otherwise

and if you're kinda more common i think that's when your essays ebcome important

and if they hella don't want u like if u have a 2.3 gpa then ur essays dont matter

thats what i think

but im not an AO

[neat nymph]

With schools to te caliber of Stanford you need great everything

[verbal totem]

yes!! thats why its so frustrating seeing on tiktok people say “the essays that got me in” and make it seem like ur essays r the thing that ur app hinges on.

[little sundial]

essays just HELP tell abt ur character/personality

[little cliff]

rs

[little sundial]

they depend on recommendations too!

[solar notch]

Yeah you can get in on Shiite essay

[little sundial]

and ur ambition 😉

from ur activities

[verbal totem]

i need to get gifts for my recommenders

and my teachers

[neat nymph]

I think essays matter quite a bit

[verbal totem]

omg

[little sundial]

omg same

whats the standard usually

[verbal totem]

i think im going to write all of mine a handwritten note

[neat nymph]

Its just not the only thing that matters

[little sundial]

was about to type "stanford" instead of standard

[gritty glen]

get them a Crimson

[little sundial]

it's getting bad

😭

[gritty glen]

idk i forgot harvard doesnt have a fun mascot

[verbal totem]

they have a lot of animals

[solar notch]

But I agree top 5 schools they have so many good applicants that they are looking for any reason to shoot you and bad essays can be that reason. They are the prettiest girls and they want the full package.

[neat nymph]

I need to get into stanford Luka Levi is my idol

[gritty glen]

Send them a realistic john harvard portrait

[blissful rock]

this was so awkward 😭 one of my copy-paste essays had a [insert school mascot here] and I ended up writing turkey for harvard

[gritty glen]

LOL

[solar notch]

I’m sure they will understand

[verbal totem]

TURKEY

https://tenor.com/view/black-girl-stan-twitter-red-meme-memes-gif-23478789

[little sundial]

there's so many turkeys in the streets of harvard

soooo

[little cliff]

i don't even get it

[dusky gulch]

Nah I have heard of a few exceptions

Like an international student with 1410 and 3.6 GPA who got Stanford because of his essay
He also had good IB scores but that’s about it
His only EC was community service

[little cliff]

how is a turkey the mascot of harvard

[verbal totem]

sometimes an AO just rlly sees something in an applicant that an EC cannot really show yk?

[blissful rock]

I searched up "animals associated with harvard" and took the first gemini result 💔

[little sundial]

don't say "only" 🥺 im sure it was super meaningful impact

[quasi locust]

🤣

[neat nymph]

I hate the letter S 😤

[quasi locust]

i would do that

[verbal totem]

U GOT IN TO HARVARD TOO RIGHT?

[gritty glen]

DIdnt you get in too

[neat nymph]

I want to get into Tanford

[blissful rock]

[neat nymph]

F150

[gritty glen]

truk

[dusky gulch]

I have seen several people this cycle that only had alright academics and good essays but weak ECs but got accepted

And then I have seen like IPHO medalists and RSI people get rejected

Apps are weird af this year

[verbal totem]

i had no published research. no national awards. no national level achievements. got into 5/8 of my schools yesterday. it truly is nothing u can predict based off of EC and all that matters is u love what u do and ur passionate about what u want to do

[sonic wyvern]

how important is contextualized sat, cuz i have a 1330 sat from a 920 school but my school profile doesn’t establish that

[little sundial]

[earnest ice]

After getting waitlisted umich I don’t have much hope

[thorny wigeon]

Uhh I thought sat is weighted low on admissions

[neat nymph]

I have 2a 2w 10r Im cooked

[blissful rock]

I mean, stanford does say academic excellence is the main criterion for admission

[balmy raft]

what’s the gpa looking like

[thorny wigeon]

I have 0w 💀

[wooden crystal]

Who knows

[neat nymph]

This week has been tough

[wooden crystal]

College admissions is

[balmy raft]

Stanford lowkey finds diamonds in the rough

don’t sweat it

[thorny wigeon]

March sucks in general

[wooden crystal]

I got rejected from all the ivy’s I applied to

But provisionally accepted to UChicago

So what happens happens

[verbal totem]

thats still awesome dude 😭

uchicago is so good

[wooden crystal]

Yeah exactly

[verbal totem]

i didnt apply bc that fuckass essay..

[wooden crystal]

It’s a provisional transfer acceptance but like I’ll 100% take it lol

[verbal totem]

i couldnt do it

no way

i am not quirky

[wooden crystal]

Lmao

[verbal totem]

i would have cringed at my writing

[balmy raft]

I hate upchicago

the essay prompts sucks

[verbal totem]

AND THEN I SAW SOMEONE SUBMIT A NEWSPAPER AS THEIR ESSAY??

WHAT THE HELL??

[balmy raft]

[wooden crystal]

I’m probably just gonna spend a year at Rutgers HC and then go to UChicago

[agile mulch]

[balmy raft]

“Think about water streaming down from a s unny sky. What do you think about tiled brick roofing?”

[thorny wigeon]

[wooden crystal]

@verbal totem

This was my essay

[verbal totem]

OMG U

I READ THIS

THAT WAS SO COOL DUDE

[wooden crystal]

Lmao thanks

[verbal totem]

yeah my ass cannot do that 😭

[wooden crystal]

Every essay I wrote after that one was significantly worse lmao

[verbal totem]

this the type of stuff that deserves a uchi acceptance

[balmy raft]

r u math

[wooden crystal]

Yeah, pure mathematics

[balmy raft]

I like it, it’s cool

pick stanford over uchi though

[wooden crystal]

UChicago has good analysis & topology faculty

[wooden crystal]

Well yeah I would

But mainly because I only got the provisional acceptance offer from UChicago

So I need to spend one year at another 4 year college

I don’t think I’ll get into Stanford anyways

lol

[sonic wyvern]

not that great considering i had pretty bad circumstances for 2 years but i have taken the max amount of rigor, taking all APs available at my school, 3.55, but my main hooks were my ECs and IV

[gritty glen]

did it copy in commonapp okay???

[balmy raft]

if u used that essay I believe in you

[balmy raft]

well uh good luck 🍀

[wooden crystal]

UChicago doesn’t use common app

[balmy raft]

did you put this down in ur roommate essay

[verbal totem]

swag ur killing me omg 😭

[sullen fiber]

would make a good roommate essay ngl

[broken mesa]

i wrote about labubus and got waitlisted

[gritty glen]

I think its fine 😭 im like99% sure the stanford roommate essay is just screening that you aren't evil

[broken mesa]

harvard i mean

[blissful rock]

my roommate essay was "I like origami" "I like coding" "I like touching grass" haha

[sullen fiber]

question for yall

should i stay awake

or check like 6 hr after decisions drop

[balmy raft]

Yh roommate essay mostly make sure u aren’t a boring bum or a weirdo

[full zinc]

is it really

[balmy raft]

they can also see fit with Stanford too

[gritty glen]

💔 no... my roomate essay was about rocks cougars and roblox guys

[broken mesa]

do they encourage or discourage the startup culture

[verbal totem]

omg 😍

[steady dagger]

my readers never talked abt my essays in my file 🤩🤩🤩

[sullen fiber]

one of my other essays was abt writing an essay for stanford on dec 24 wearning a stanford hoodie,and ending it with me hoping that that turns into a lab coat at stanny doing research on improving prosthetics

stanny was my best interview so im truly hoping it goes well

[broken mesa]

stanny was also my best interview he said i was a good fit

[sullen fiber]

idt they have access

[balmy raft]

idk I don’t think they care but startups are cool

like if u have the traits to do potentially something like startup

that’s cool

if u don’t that’s fine

[broken mesa]

cuz I wrote something along the lines of that in the roommate essay

[sullen fiber]

my interviewer knew the exact company i interned at.... and i told him all abt what i did

[verbal totem]

???

[broken mesa]

like not directly i want to make a startup

[verbal totem]

u dont think the admissions officers have access to ur essays??

[broken mesa]

there was also a lot more ofc but it was one sentence

[sullen fiber]

like interviewers dont have access to essays

did i misread

[gritty glen]

Isnt bill gates daughter's ai fashion start up there

[verbal totem]

oh she meant the like readers/aos

[sullen fiber]

oh mb

sorry

[verbal totem]

ur good haha

[steady dagger]

are they not... reading my application...

[balmy raft]

bruh my ao note at my reception kept taking quotes from my essay

[verbal totem]

i love the stanford like

post card

[sullen fiber]

i thought interviewer mb bro

[balmy raft]

erm what

[verbal totem]

w the cursive font

yk what i mean

did u get that

[balmy raft]

ye

I still haven’t gotten my package yet 💀

[sullen fiber]

lets pray i get that after today

[balmy raft]

none of the rea kids have

[steady dagger]

my ao note took one quote from one of them i think

[balmy raft]

that means it’s a w essay

[steady dagger]

wait that was my worst one it was my copy paste diversity essay 😭

maybe

[broken mesa]

another diversity essay copy paster…

[steady dagger]

ur stuff is probably all redacted by now

[broken mesa]

me too

[steady dagger]

they start deleting stuff after first qtr

[balmy raft]

u can look at it it’ll probably just be like the Epstein files

[sullen fiber]

you do tho.. you were special

[steady dagger]

but you can look up like ferpa or something and schedule an appointment anyways

[balmy raft]

reader 1: ######################### 1+ accept

[verbal totem]

do they redact??

[steady dagger]

yes

[balmy raft]

I think like every college does

[steady dagger]

i did mine first qtr and stuff was still redacted

[verbal totem]

i forget these r like student files with sensitive info

[balmy raft]

u have to do it quick before they start deleting shi

[steady dagger]

oh they dont remove sensitive info

[verbal totem]

so whats redacted?

[balmy raft]

nah they just remove the notes and like admissions info stuff

[steady dagger]

idk its redacted 🤷‍♀️

[balmy raft]

lmao 💀

[verbal totem]

oh that was a stupid question im sorry 😭

i just realized

[steady dagger]

but there were black bars like in the middle of sentences and stuff

reading my file lowk erased my imposter syndrome my readers rlly liked me

[balmy raft]

my sister was co2025 so she got to look at hers before stanford started heavy redacting stuff so it’s all unredacted

[balmy raft]

big aura boost

[balmy raft]

probably just like some hidden admission info stuff

[steady dagger]

wait bc i got so many rejections on ivy day and then my stanford aos were just like ok we should admit on first read

[balmy raft]

stanford finds the diamonds in the rough type shit

[sullen fiber]

how many?

define many man

[broken mesa]

were you LL

[sullen fiber]

did you have acceptance

[steady dagger]

5/7 rejections but i already knew the two i got into from LL and astro

[broken mesa]

you got into two ivies

[sullen fiber]

dud

[broken mesa]

not nothing

[balmy raft]

u could check they probably have the numbers there but not the reader comments/notes

[sullen fiber]

thats 2 ivies

[neat nymph]

"diamond in the rough" and dude got into 2 ivies

[balmy raft]

maybe highlight the text and u can read it

[verbal totem]

omg astro

i think my upenn astro was true

[steady dagger]

i mean i definitely could not afford to go to cornell lol

[verbal totem]

upenn went and looked at my financial documents on march 14th

[broken mesa]

was the other one columbia

[verbal totem]

and updated them

[steady dagger]

yes

[sullen fiber]

did you get better aid from stanny than cornell?

[steady dagger]

yes

cornell aid was abyssmal

[balmy raft]

“how much this kid gonna cost”

[sullen fiber]

were you like instate student? liek from cali

[exotic crystal]

I’m so cooked

[verbal totem]

I DONT KNOW HOW TO CHECK MY AID EITHER

[steady dagger]

no im from the midwest

[verbal totem]

😭

[agile mulch]

im completely cooked

[verbal totem]

its so confusing because they said someone was gonna email me

but theres no button

maybe im stupid

[exotic crystal]

I don’t even have my aid for usc yet 💀

[steady dagger]

ngl all the astro i ever did worked

[balmy raft]

I mean like what if u just don’t pay and start attending

be confident in the financial aid

[verbal totem]

well and upenn has its own portal and everything w financials so idk what im doing

[balmy raft]

same I think

[steady dagger]

you can do that but you probably wont be able to go for more than a quarter/semester

[balmy raft]

be like the yale girl

[steady dagger]

[languid bobcat]

Ik , I’m grateful

Honestly if I get rejected from Stanford it’s prolly for the better so someone whose not “rich in schools” can have the spot

[balmy raft]

but lowkey would’ve been mad disrespect if I did 💀

[balmy raft]

mit and caltech r already generational
