[<em>] GPA:3.9/4UW
[</em>] Rank:15/543

[/ul]Subjective:[ul]

[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[</em>] State or Country:Illinois
[<em>] School Type:Average Public

[li] Gender: Male[/li][/ul]Other Factors: I have fairly unique EC's, but I'm not really in any traditional activities besides baseball. I think my essays got me deferred(in the good sense), honestly.
General Comments: The next four months are going to be hell. Congrats to all those accepted, good luck to deferred, and to those rejected, don't get caught up in it, these people don't know you and you'll be successful wherever you go. After reading this thread, I feel like I don't even belong in the deferred pool.</p>

<p>i seen three rejections from canada so far, including my own nd the scores were
2320
2380
and 2400 just above me
is this just me or wat?</p>

63

<p>Yeah, argh... now even if I get accepted to other schools I'll have a tough time deciding... Stanford was my dream school :(</p>

64

<p>Stanford hates Canada. I felt like I had good enough stats and EC's and essays to get deferred at least. I. am. crushed.</p>

65

<p>I'm from Canada, got 2240, and got deferred. SAT scores are obviously not everything haha.</p>

66

<p>you're right they aren't, but my ec's and essays/recs were fairly strong as well, and my standards are quite high... kinda ticked at someone in my school who is somehow considered a permanent resident of cali even though he's been in canada for a few years... OMG</p>

<p>I'm tempted to blame it on the fa, but I might not be entirely suited for Stanford. went to epgy and alot of the students there said I suited harvard more haha... I liked stanford way better than any other school tho :(</p>

67

<p>yeah it seems like it, i thought i wud at least get defereed too..stupid non-needblind admission for internationals</p>

<p>GPA from the best (arguably) public school in the (crappy) district: 3.9 unweighted, with seven AP's including those senior year.</p>
