Ok, I can’t stand it anymore. Op is taking the !#$%#<! with everyone. Just read the content of his posts and it’s 100% clear.
That is all. Thank you and good night.
I knew this was a bad idea, sharing that I got into Stanford with a 2.8 G.P.A. Wish I had not told anyone, and just gone to CSUN.
Summer’s getting boring already, huh?
See how they keep stirring the pot? Too much time on some people’s hands over summer break.
But there’s still that 1-9 percent chance that it’s not. Just like the whole point of me being accepted into Stanford. Doesn’t make sense
Many years ago there was an actual case of someone who was admitted to Harvard with the similar GPA, but that person was a highly recruited three sports superstar in high school. He later went onto play baseball for the Red Sox after Harvard. I don’t think he graduated, though. The difference with the current case is that the OP claims to have gotten into Stanford totally unhooked.
One thing I’d like to ask the OP is, if indeed without any hooks, what made you think to even apply to, as you claimed, Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford among other top colleges? There are many applicants with much higher GPA and the test score who do not even bother to apply to such places because they know that their chances at such schools are nil without a strong hook of some kind. The OP is totally unhooked and with the GPA of 2.95 and the ACT score of 26, YET decided to apply to these schools with a single digit admit rate?
Yeah. You got me there. My G.P.A was actually around a 3.295, and my ACT score was around a 30, the ones that are posted are my G.P.A from sophomore year, and I took the ACT twice. But, it still doesn’t make sense how I got in.
Hmmmm… interesting. The OP originally wrote that he had gotten into Stanford with the GPA of 2.95, yet just now wrote: “I knew this was a bad idea, sharing that I got into Stanford with a 2.8 G.P.A. Wish I had not told anyone, and just gone to CSUN.” The OP’s GPA suddenly dropped in a matter of few minutes, hmmmm…
What’s the CC policy on a blatant liar?
To answer your question Tigger Dad, I can’t speak for anyone else, but I just wanted to take a shot in the dark, and I knew that my shot was one in a million. But, the only theory I can come up with is that needed someone in the area of the state, and picked some random kid. To be fair, my school wasn’t exactly the most competitive. Most of my friends/peers went to community college, so that’s my theory.
Instead of checking with Stanford to see if your acceptance is a mistake - maybe you should check with Harvard Yale and Princeton to see if their rejections were a mistake? Also, while obviously it would make sense for someone with your stats to apply to HYPS, as an alum of MIT I’m a little hurt that you didn’t apply there too…
But the big question is - when the May 1st deadline rolls around, are you going to accept?
Already Accepted. Just Questioning. This happened at Columbia a few years ago.
No student that talks like The Lobster would be accepted to Stanford. Unfortunately CC can’t weed out the name that rhymes with “rolls”.
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Is there anything novel left to say on this thread? No? Then I’m closing. Thanks for the diversion.
