<p>damn, i feel depressed. after seeing/reading about so many exceptional stanford applicants on CC (and off), i feel like i'm COMPLETELY wasting my time. why bother spending all these hours on the application when i know i'll just get rejected? i don't have 1500+ SATs, i DEFINATELY don't have a stellar transcript, i'm not even in the top 10% of my class (shameful, i know). all i have are some extracurricular activities and a dream to go stanford, like every other applicant i know. why do i even bother stressing myself out when i'm far from being a well-qualified applicant?</p>

<p>i don't want to apply anymore...i feel so stupid. there's no use, all i'm doing is spending time working on an application that will result in a rejection letter.</p>

<p>a rejection letter you're paying $75 for. Not to depress you, just saying...</p>

<p>Note: I feel the same way, except I already paid and applied EA</p>

<p>You don't have to apply. Just letting you know.</p>

<p>If you think it's financially feasible without having great chances of getting accepted, I think it'd be a good idea to apply since it's been said that admission to these schools is more or less a lottery ticket, and besides, if you really have a dream to go to Stanford, if you didn't apply, wouldn't you always wonder if you could get in?</p>

<p>But as tigerfan17 said above, you don't have to apply.</p>

<p>You'll never know unless you go for it. There's some now cliched quote, "Aim for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." Or something like that. Might as well give it a shot. You'll be spending $75 and a few days of your time (you can just re-use other essays anyway.)</p>

<p>Reusing essays makes me feel so warm inside. I have this one I've used in every application without changing more than like 10 words.</p>
