***Official Stanford RD 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread***

<p>Sorry about the multiple rejections people. I only had one (Brown) and Stanford was my first (REA) and is my last hope for a dream school. I have Tufts, UCLA and UCSD and another LAC in my pocket, so I know I’ll be ok. I just want that deferral to turn into an acceptance SO badly!!!</p>

<p>Rejected Yale and Harvard. Waitlisted Princeton and Brown. So mad… I really wanted Yale, too. Wonder what Stanford will say.</p>

<p>Got rejected from 5 Ivies today and Waitlisted at Brown… Also have waitlists at Pomona and UChicago -.- Amherst and Stanford tomorrow D: But with this many rejections Stanford is pretty much the same at this point >.></p>

<p><em>HUGS FOR EVERYONE</em></p>

<p>Ahh! One more day! I have a dilemma. I work tomorrow from 5-11pm and we aren’t allowed to use our cell phones at work. The decisions come out 6 or 7pm my time. Even if I ask my boss for special permission to open it, if I get rejected, I will probably burst out crying multiple times at work. This is especially bad because the place I work has really cheerful employees. But then if I don’t open it, I will be shaking and really anxious and time will drag on forever! If I sleep and then open it the next morning, if I get rejected, I can go into the woods and run my sadness off. But if I open it in the morning, and I get accepted, there’s no one to celebrate with. Opinions? What made me more anxious is the fact that my friend got into Harvard. She deserves it more than anyone I know but now the prospect of getting into a great top school is staring me straight in the face O_O</p>

<p>Another thing that I’m really wracking my brain over is the fact that on my application, I didn’t say that I had a job. Or that I was in Asian American Club. Or that I did Relay for Life. I iz feelin dumb.</p>

<p>@AforAmbition, my friend goes to UCBerkeley and he LOVES it! It really is a good school and cheaper than Stanford (especially for California residents!). I remember you said you did sleep research and they do some cool research such as [Scientists</a> use brain imaging to reveal the movies in our mind](<a href=“http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/09/22/brain-movies/]Scientists”>Scientists use brain imaging to reveal the movies in our mind | Berkeley News) if that’s what you want to get into. Whatever school you decide on is going to be lucky to have you. You seem like a great person (as well as everyone on this thread. I just want to hug you alllll). Don’t give up hope :slight_smile: You’ll end up where you’re meant to be whether it’s Stanford or Berkeley or some other school!</p>

<p>Waitlisted at Duke today. Wonder if Stanford will see in me what Duke <em>kinda</em> saw lol :p</p>

<p>With all of the ivy’s coming out today; I thought that this video might make everyone laugh.</p>

<p>[Why</a> Did I Choose Yale? - YouTube](<a href=“Why Did I Choose Yale? - YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYRF5-zdY8Q&feature=related)</p>

<p>Rejected from Dartmouth, Yale, and Harvard never sent me an e-mail :(. Accepted to Cornell, but I’m really hoping for Stanford! Not expecting much though :/</p>

<p>survived #IvyDay with no rejections thanks to Harvard messing up on their emails haha</p>

<p>you know what would actually be a miracle? getting accepted to stanford after being rejected by 6 ivies today and crying all evening. i think i’m just daydreaming at this point.</p>

<p>I just realized something really twisted, you guys…
what if Stanford did this on purpose?
Like, the majority of Stanford’s applicants had their (our) hopes and dreams shattered on Ivy Day, and they’re (we’re) all really heartbroken. So the ones that they accept, as they may see it, would be more likely to go, because it would look like “Stanford saves the day!” or “Look! Stanford loves me!”
I know that after my unfortunate denial to Yale, Stanford is looking a lot more appealing to me… kind of a weird rebound effect.
Anyone see what I mean?</p>

<p>its okay guys i literally got wait listed everywhere today. got into duke dartmouth cornell and regents at uc berkeley but wait listed at yale, princeton, columbia, brown and upenn. oh wait listed MIT too but that came out weeks ago. Haven’t gotten an email for Harvard but I’m assuming a rejection/waitlist because I can’t login to the portal. So, I’ve lost hope as well. Good luck to everyone tomorrow :confused: I sure won’t be excited to check my email at 3 PM</p>

<p>Rejected from MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Berkeley…
Accepted to Biomedical at Hopkins.</p>

<p>Waiting for this acceptance letter. If it doesn’t turn out, Hopkins it is (which is alright, I guess).</p>

<p>Whoa! It comes out tomorrow?? I guess that’s good! I can’t stand anymore waiting. And thank God I have a minimum day tomorrow…</p>

<p>Okay, my turn to join the party. (Almost too late though, I hope. :wink: ) So nervous for tomorrow. Gah. At least I get to find out an hour “earlier” than everyone else, being in Alaska and all. At this point I’ve accepted the fact that I probably won’t get accepted, but I just want to know so I can stop worrying and focus on important stuff like applying for scholarships and finishing AP Chem.</p>

<p>If i were Stanford i would release decisions at like 3:17 in the morning. Surprise!</p>

<p>Today I got 3 more rejections :frowning: my current running total of rejections is 10. Out of the 13 schools I applied to :frowning: I only got into UC Merced and I’m wait-listed at Pitzer. Stanford is my last chance but I have no hope :frowning: I think there is something wrong with me…or my application :’( my worst nightmare came true! Let’s just hope pitzer accepts me!! … <em>_</em></p>

<p>@Rejected56 what are your stats? were the universities you applied to within your reach?</p>

<p>Does it come out on Friday or on Monday? their website says April 1. So how do you guys know it comes out on Friday?</p>

<p>traditionally they’ve had that up their sleeve XD they typically do EA the friday before dec. 15 as well, like this year</p>

<p>welcome to the stanford thread, bigow29 :smiley:
Rejected56: hey! this may sound dumb, but you’ve got one acceptance. that’s all it takes. :slight_smile: if you end up there, you will still get an amazing education, have friends, and be successful. keep that in mind. of course, I hope you get into Stanford :D</p>

<p>Good luck tomorrow/today, everyone! haha</p>
