<p>hhmm... an LA and a New Hampshire one. sounds reasonable.</p>
<p>I would grab it in a heart beat. Computer Science is my forte.</p>

<p>the heck@?!</p>
<p>nooo i want mine =[</p>
<p>That's pretty impressive. Still, I'm sort of glad they didn't get my transcript because now I don't have to feel bad when I dont get anything.</p>
<p>xaq, did you have anything else that made you stand out? I know Intel semifinalist is big, but Ive heard of many who were not accepted even with that</p>
<p>The stats we have seen here are very impressive, but is URM status the common denominator here?</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>It wasn't with xaq.</p>
<p>nup.</p>
<p>im mexican american and have better stats than both posted and i haven't gotten an acceptance.</p>
<p>sorry... but it's not true. anyway, I don't think I deserve anything because im not white..</p>
<p>I was just accepted as well. Did you guys get one of those "you have a spot in our freshman class" letters? It was pretty nice. I will list my stats later, but if you want to see them now, check out the Yale EA decision thread. Thought of another hook that helped me: I took two classes at georgetown over two different summers (intro to Logic and intro to comp. science) in which I received an A and an A- respectively. </p>
<p>Congratulations everyone!</p>
<p>wait...so are the two acceptees RD round for real? (e.g. not prank?)
if so: congrats! and: I thought the decisions were to be mailed in early April?</p>
<p>Woah, that's freaking amazing... thats what 3 or 4 people now?</p>
<p>Did you guys get "Your Stanford application is complete" e-mails like a long time ago or something? Or maybe in the initial review for completeness they just spotted your pure awesomeness.</p>
<p>It looks like you're getting letters at different times, which means any of us could still get this I guess.</p>
<p>Man, and I was planning on not thinking about it until April! Now it could come anyday! Or rather the chances of being accepted decrease as time passes.</p>
<p>AHH. Good thing I'm out of the country so I can't run to the mailbox every 10 minutes of my life.</p>
<p>Anyways, congrats! We're all super jealous!</p>
<p>luckyyyy!!!</p>
<p>i wanna go to college too.</p>
<p>It is great feeling to have one or more good ones in the bag.</p>
<p>lol, it seems as if they are going to through and as htey see a super one, they will just accept it</p>
<p>anyway, yeah, stanford owns.</p>
