<p>if you don't get in, i will be surprised</p>

3

<p>If you don't get in then theres something seriously wrong with Stanford...
What ethnicity are you?</p>

4

<p>hey thanks, but one of my friends who got into harvard, princeton, yale, mit, caltech, washu, etc. got rejecrted from stanford, so I figured its really selective. Im chinese american by the way.</p>

5

<p>I did the math on your EC's. Average of 5.67 hours a day, every day of the year. Either you have some numbers seriously wrong, or that is seriously messed up. You deserve to get into Stanford, but I would have HATED to be you in high school, man.</p>

6

<p>weekends- 6 hours at meets. cross country and track do not overlap. these go into the summers. research of 45 hours 10 weeks was all in the summer. orchestra is in school.</p>

7

<p>I wish i could get these scores..</p>

8

<p>Which school do you go to?</p>

9

<p>troy high (michigan, not cali)</p>

10

<p>It's a big reach...</p>

<p>haha, jk, dude...help me on the astro test. I'm serious...I don't know what to study.</p>

<p>Btw, he forgets to mention that in all his recs, his teachers will say he is the craziest kid (in a good way) ever.</p>

11

<p>Escius:
For your violin EC, are you going to say "state/national awards" or actually name the awards you have received? I'm having problems fitting everything into the online application's text box limits. :(</p>

12

<p>im just going to leave it as that. if theyre big awards id list them in the awards section.</p>
