<p>Aww we need to start up the wiki this week. What was the link to that old thing?</p>
<p>And the memories come flooding back...</p>
<p>any EA rejects here? (:
let's leave this thread up to let everyone know about anywhere else we've gotten into</p>
<p>p.s. - i'm still in love with stanford. unfortunately. =|</p>
<p>ah unrequited love! I still <3 Caltech who waitlisted me.</p>
<p>Guuuuuuuuuuessssssssssssssss Whhhhhhhhoooooooooooo!!!</p>
<p>Ahaha, my life has gotten so much better since Dec. 15th!
I actually have a couple of cool schools vying for my attention, but the absolute best thing that I happened as a result of not getting into Stanford is being nearly guranteed a spot in Berkeley's PhD in Medical Anthropology program... And getting to be in cahoots with Paul Farmer...</p>
<p>But we all need to come back on May 1st and say exactly whats been up. Ohhh man, I want some chances threads to shoot down.</p>
<p>Good for you Ashveer... I'm tellin ya, things always happen for a reason.</p>
<p>PS. Has anyone watched The Graduate? I just saw it for the first time last night... I'm still pondering and debating the ending, I really liked it as a whole, you should check it out.</p>
<p>haha I watched it with my friend! It's great :) I want to see it again.</p>
<p>Guys... strike what I said earlier... I am kinda freaking out here. </p>
<p>I've been accepted into WUSTL, Vandy, Georgetown, Claremont Mckenna (I dont know why), UMich and some state schools... but I'm still waiting on Duke, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and NU... and I am kinda freaking out. I would be happy with like WUSTL and all... but its just not what I REALLY want... and I am really scared I won't get into these others, or even one of them, and I'm scared. AHHHHH. So much for enjoying a peaceful spring break of now worries. I'm going for a run to get rid of some stress. Peace.</p>
<p>I guess those who got accepted just post in the Stanford 2010 forum most of the time.</p>
<p>Good to hear from you Ashveer, shaina, ice, wolfy, bluephish and all you others. :)</p>
<p>~Goldfish</p>
<p>Why the name change goldfish?</p>
<p>I kno how it feels >_> last year I got rejected from 3 summer programs in a row before finally getting into one. but I think that one was prolly better for me than the other ones wouldda been. it will all work out because you are COOL... QED!</p>
<p>aww you guys sound just like I feel. I'm sure I got deferred for a reason, and even though I have more than my fair share of bitterness toward Stanford (mainly as a defense mechanism) it is nice to hear from you all and know that everyone is doing well. It seems like simultaneously so recently and so long ago that we were going insane calling the admissions office for an exact decision date!
Yayyy for Wolffy and Ashveer! To add to the "I got deferred and am still alive" club, I got into RPI (2 merit scholarships), PSU-Honors (full ride), Rice (2 merit scholarships), Cornell (likely letter), Duke (likely letter), and MIT. Sooo I feel happy and very lucky and actually quite pleased that I was deferred because I think it was much better for me in the long run. And no matter what happens with Stanford in the next couple weeks, it's been real (even though I mostly just lurk).
Remember: deep breaths.</p>
<p>File me under "accepted, but can't afford to go." Let me put it this way--my high school gives me more financial aid than Stanford offered (and tuition at my school is 19K, whereas it costs 40+ at Stanford). I'm at the point where I've come to terms with the fact that I'm in all likelihood not going to Stanford for undergrad (which is why I don't post much on this board anymore). I will be there at Admit Weekend though because I wouldn't miss a chance to miss half a week of school and hang out in California.</p>
<p>My other one had too many PM's, so I just decided to make a new account instead of sorting out the old one.</p>
<p>wow, seems like a lot of you deferrees are doing great... WUSTL, MIT, you guys rebounded from stanford in a big way, and the stanford dream isn't over and done with either</p>
<p>Now I really wonder why I got deferred...lol xD</p>
<p>The more and more I think about it bout it, I will probably never again even take classes at Stanford. UCSF is a better med school, and I can simultaneously do a PhD in med anthro through Berkeley....hehe.</p>

Same here. Maybe I just didn't have that magical essay.</p>
<p>Well my deferred comment was kinda directed to

<p>because I know I'm not one of those people =P. I'm fortunate to have gotten deferred!</p>
<p>I was deferred -- and I was on when decisions came out! I am also fortunate to have been deferred... Really.</p>
