<p>WAITLIST! I don’t normally post on CC, but does anyone else have experience with this?</p>
<p>Stanford is known for great aid right? thought they were one of the no-loan schools</p>
<p>Junior transfer</p>
<p>HS stats were trash:</p>
<p>GPA: 2.8/4.0
SAT: 1340/1600
just played lots of sports and got something like 14 varsity letters</p>
<p>joined military reserves to pay for school
community college 4.0
state school 4.0 this year - heavy pre-med schedule</p>
<p>EC’s: marine bio lab research, AF reserves
Hooks: hispanic, military reserves</p>
<p>craziest thing is I only started up at CC in Jan of last year, took a full load over the summer also to make up lost time. I threw my Stanford supplement together in about 6 hours on the Friday night it was due as I had 5 midterms and 2 papers due over the course of that week. All so crazy! You never know unless you apply…</p>
<p>Just going to make a separate post to say:</p>
<p>You guys are the biggest babies, really. I had a 3.6, double minority, (native american and black) foster care, (so automatically poor) the usual 5 varsity sports and community service and still rejected. </p>
<p>You guys lied and were mis-lead the entire time that people who stand out or minorities are favored. Please, forever more, shut up about “I wish I were x race so I could of been accepted!” Colleges don’t care, they just do it because its politically correct.</p>
<p>Chelse I still haven’t heard anything either… odd.</p>
<p>It really is. I’m getting extremely antsy.</p>
<p>So you got in Yale as well? @yolocholo</p>
<p>Still nothing… Ahhh! Has anyone else still heard nothing back yet?</p>
<p>Yeah, still waiting here.</p>
<p>By now it’s not coming Chelsea. Same thing happened to me for my Yale decision. Just call Monday. Keep calm and pray lol.</p>

Got accepted today and I can’t still believe. Please snap my face so i can wake up. is it a dream? hahhaa
Thank you very much CollegeConfidential!! I got a lot of useful info from you for my applications.
Hope this info helps</p>
<p>Ahh this is the worst. Having to wait another weekend just to find out I was probably rejected. I was really looking forward to finding out today so I could study this weekend for finals next week without having to worry about whether I got in or not. Ahhh. Well, congrats to all those who got in!</p>
<p>…anyone else waitlisted?</p>
<p>@jason I was waitlisted as well. I wonder how many people were accepted and how many were waitlisted.</p>
<p>Last year 34 transfers were accepted and 31 attended.
Year before: 58 were accepted and 47 attended.</p>
<p>Ahh. Did you get accepted elsewhere? Fortunately I’ll be going to Cornell or Columbia :)</p>
<p>Lol. I may see you at Columbia! PM me :)</p>
<p>Siranturan, were you a sophomore or junior transfer?</p>
<p>^siranturan says he’s getting his AS degree this month, so that implies he’s a junior transfer. Given last year’s oversubscription into the class of 2016, I wonder if they took any freshmen applicants.</p>
<p>I too like yolocholo am looking to transfer even though I have a horrible HS gpa. Unlikely however, I hope that the steep increase in grades, and EC’s I have gotten in community college will help. It’s a long shot, but oh well, like someone mentioned earlier, you don’t know until you apply.</p>
<p>HS GPA: 3.1 W / 2.9 UW
HS EC: Coaching youth basketball, Helping around my church</p>
<p>Community College: Sem 1: 3.727, Sem 2: 3.85 (I haven’t many core classes yet like physics, bio, chem, higher math)
Community College EC: Hospital Volunteering, AGS (Honor society), Various fundraising events</p>
<p>Also I would be a Bio or Chem major as the ultimate goal is to strive for a career in Medicine, specifically pediatrics.</p>
<p>I might also mention I might be able to find a research position at the nearby Cal Tech. </p>
<p>Chances are slim to none, I know, but what do I have that’s working for me, and what is working against me?</p>
<p>Marmaneous are you going to the city college?</p>
