<p>I also live in SoCal, if that makes a difference.</p>

3

<p>Apply to the one you like best, they are equally tough.</p>

4

<p>East Coast weather blows, and Stanford is super chill, I always go up there to stay w/ a friend of mine, and I love it there…
Stanford has some super artsy people too, so you’ll fit in well…
don’t guarantee anything though :slight_smile: it’s a tough school to get into…</p>

5

<p>I love both that’s the thing! argh</p>

6

<p>You have a solid shot at both and both are equally competitive. Apply to whichever one you like more.</p>

7

<p>Solid chance at both, but I would recommend Princeton for EA. Stanford is notorious for the low number of acceptances in EA.</p>

8

<p>Um… Bacon, I wouldn’t say that Princeton’s EA %ages are that much higher, maybe around 1%? That’s almost nothing.
And Stanford is NOT notorious for a low # of acceptances in EA… we had 8 people from my school get in EA to Stanford this year out of around 12.</p>

<p>bump???</p>

10

<p>Either to be honest. Princeton might be a bit easier since you are out of state. Hopefully you will also apply RD to a variety of other schools.</p>

<p>Congratulations on having such an impressive record. You should be proud.</p>

11

<p>Sometimes I wonder what all these academic wizards on CC look like in person.</p>

12

<p>I promise I’m not an academic wizard and I pretty much just look like a tall half asian dancer hahah</p>

13

<p>You are amazing!!! Look at all you’ve accomplished.
I would not be surprised if you were accepted to all the schools you apply to.</p>

14

<p>haha thank you so much! I’m hoping to raise my act score a bit, and hopefully my summer job doesn’t fall through, but thank you for your encouragement! :)</p>
