@divinoob Sempre bom ver um BR superando as situacoes da vida, voce consegue grandes coisas aqui nos EUA se voce colocar os esforco necessario. Good luck to you pal! Keep up the great work at your college- you’re participating in activities that are quite uncommon at most community colleges so I’m sure those will make you stand out!
@AGoodFloridian Eu não esperava encontrar um BR aqui, haha. Yeah, I feel like I am doing the most I can here, there aren’t many other options for me, I feel good about that, I’m just not sure if it’s going to be enough. Thanks for the kind words man, hope it all works out for all of us!!
@mjr2013 Out of curiosity of the students who were accepted as Transfers last year, how many came from other schools you would consider “top tier”- IVY’s, UCHICAGO, NYU, MIT you get the gist. If you could elaborate a little on how many got in, what schools they came from and their stats (if you happen to know any of these things) it would be really helpful). Hope your time at Stanford is going well and plan on entering the lottery for the Fall os 2018 (maybe i’ll see you around
@Galexezus Of the 27 transfers, I believe there were 12 or 13 who were ex-military, which was the most accepted in Stanford’s history, and a point of pride for admissions. Age range was probably 20-40, and the majority of transfers overall came from a similar situation as mine, in that they spent a couple years at community college before transferring.
There was at least one person I can think of who came from an Ivy, but he was also nontraditional, he spent a year or so off before transferring.
Best of luck! Hope to see you on the farm!
How are you all doing with applications? 
Let’s get this thread going again!
@AGoodFloridian Everything is in for me! All green checkmarks How about you?
@mjr2013, do you believe the college admissions people are more conservative or liberal? Though I know it shouldn’t matter, I am scared to share some of my histories with social issues that are super personal to me like TPS that favor the ideas of liberalism. Hoping it won’t be to my disadvantage.
Weird question but should I resend my test scores to Stanford? I originally sent them because I thought I was going to apply as a freshmen but I didn’t end up applying. I’m not sure if they actually kept my score or if they just trashed it.
@Chicana121 I honestly have no idea regarding their political leanings, but I wouldn’t concern yourself over it in the least bit. They want to know who you are, no matter who you are, so don’t be afraid to demonstrate what makes you you.
@Dombo1573 I’m not sure. If it doesn’t show up as a checkmark, I would resend, but that’s just my intuition. Not sure if they’re saved or not, I was a first time applicant as a transfer.
Hi @AGoodFloridian !!
@Dombo1573 I would err on the side of caution and think better safe than sorry. I would resend.
@mjr2013 Heeeey!! I’m super glad you’re enjoying life at the Farm! I’m fighting hard for this to be a strong application, so cross your fingers much stronger than last year for sure hahahah what a dream it would be to join you there.
@AGoodFloridian I’m rooting for ya!!! I believe!
@Dombo1573 They still had my test scores from 2015 when I applied this year. However, I had called to double check, and it would probably be good for you to do the same.
Is it more difficult for Asian international students to transfer to Stanford?
@NotMyRealName We’re really splitting hairs when comparing the difficulty of transferring between students :)) In general, it is tougher to transfer to any selective university as an international transfer student. I’m not sure if being Asian plays into it.
The chances are only 0% if you don’t apply, so go for it and join the team!
Hi @AGoodFloridian thank you for the response. It seems like out of 27 admitted applicants in 2017, 13 are US veteran applicants and 13 are first time attending four year college applicants. Is this like a priority thing for transfer admissions, or did it just happen to be that way in 2017?
Just submitted my app. Good luck guys!
@GoldenState1 Good luck to you too! Still panicking to finish the application here.
Thank you @NoMyRealName ! In response to your previous question, it does appear that most of the top universities that accept <10-20 transfers per year, they generally prefer community college students and vets. But like Floridian said, you’ll never know unless you try! Its literally a lottery for us all lol.
@GoldenState1 Indeed, a lottery to pay college debt for 20 years lol.
