<p>my crendentials, tho considered by anyone i know to be highly above average, almost seemed like a mediocre set for someone applying to stanford..., didn't even hit 1500 SAT I (tho i had SATIIs to fill in), didn't have a lot of awards 'n stuff.. i still got in EA</p>
<p>the only college that didn't like me was Rice lol, defer then deny.</p>
<p>Speaking of the survey, I think that was sent to everyone who got in. What they meant by "one of the most academically talented and accomplished
students in our applicant pool" is people who got in.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. I figured they did that. Which is why I thought it was a lame thing to do. Just say it's for "all admitted applicants."</p>
<p>lolz well their flattering us, so why complain?! :)</p>
