WOWZERS the UC system is amazing (definitely my second choice) and that’s so cool you’re involved at Princeton too! You’re super inspiring, keep it up 
You got this!
OH MY GOODNESS AGT AND THE WHITE HOUSE? Legendary–I’m so hopeful for you! Wishing you all the best 
I’ll be applying for my junior year!
I have zero chance, you’re all far too impressive compared to me. 
I would have been better off donating my application fee instead of submitting one.

I feel the same way
Nooooo not at all! I’m sure the admissions officers will be absolutely blown away by your profile when they review it!
Same here ahhh but oh my goodness y’all are high powered (and SUPER motivating)
Blown away maybe a stretch, but it will certainly stand out as a non traditional student!
That’s the spirit! Do you mind me asking about your general stats or ECs?
Are you applying as An incoming sophomore too?
OH WAIT. I just realized I’ll be an incoming sophomore too because not all of my classes will transfer over from my CC!
I’m not sure if it works like that I think it depends on what you apply as right I’m not sure

Ohhh really? I honestly have no idea. I’ve talked to a few Stanford transfers from last year and they all have to take three years so I’m not sure if they’re sophomore or junior standing
I love to see your positivity!!!
Yah I could be wrong too I’m not sure how it works regardless you will do great!
Here are my stats:
CC Transfer with a 4.0
President of the Entrepreneur club
Debate team and tournaments (semi-finalist).
Hell of a story for my HS, it was messed up.
No test scores.
Maybe a “diverse” student.
how come you couldn’t cure cancer? (I’m being completely factitious, you’re impressive as hell and I will not be going to Stanford if I’m competing against you).
Woah this thread exploded with activity.
OMG I RAN OUT OF REPLIES BECAUSE I’M A NEW USER but I just wanted to say @seththal that is AMAZING I REALLY HOPE YOU GET IN! and @comebackstory thank you so much!
Is it possible for us to create a discord and chat more? I know there are discords like “UCLA Transfer Applicants 2021” and groups like that for other schools–would you guys be open to creating a Stanford Transfer Applicants 2021 chat?
