*Official* Stanford REA 2015 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>I’m the creator of the original Class of 2015 discussion thread, but I decided to pop in to say that I’ll be joining the rest of you in the SCEA admissions process! I just wish submitting a music supplement wasn’t such a pain because I have to turn in everything by October 15th…</p>

<p>Oh, what do you play/sing/miscellaneous other verb? (But good luck! :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>We all say good luck, but we only mean it if we ourselves get in with the others. Otherwise it is just a lost roll of the dice.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>not necessarily… there’s always a next time :p</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m submitting a piano supplement. I just submitted my Stanford supplement with the application fee today; yay! :D</p>

<p>My principal decided to screw me over and randomly cancelled my main EC for this year. This is going to take me so long to resolve that I don’t think I’m going to be able to apply early … not happy, but there’s not much I can do and not much my parents are willing to. :-/</p>

<p>^ How did that happen?!</p>

<p>@wulfran</p>

<p>that’s really sad :(</p>

<p>@fledgling: Our sponsor was in charge of a school function that was hurt really badly by the recession and by tightened rules on selling, so the school has debt on it. The principal decided to punish her- told her she couldn’t sponsor anything anymore, then specifically canceled us, probably since she’s the only person who’s sponsored us while he’s been there. Ostensibly this is all about making her ‘focus on academics’ (because letting us work under a different sponsor for the year would have distracted her from her work sooooooo much), but everybody knows what’s really going on.</p>

<p>@sarbaraj: I think I can still manage to apply early, though, now that I’m done freaking out. ^^; At least the activity isn’t something I need school approval/support for… me and the other people in it can do it on our own. Actually, we can probably do it better now… I just feel like it’ll look really bad.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>doesn’t really matter… it won’t look bad… just add it up on your common app ECs thingy :p</p>

<p><em>officially done with personal essay, draft 1</em> :p</p>

<p>^Well, I hope so :slight_smile: but what do you mean by “add it up”?</p>

<p>Congrats on that! :D</p>

<p>^
I mean… you can just add the stuff you did to the EC section and exaplin it under additional info if needed…</p>

<p>thanks :p</p>

<p>^Oh, I see. Thanks XD</p>

<p>Oh my fledgling how did you already finisH???</p>

<p>hi, I’ve been lurking on CC for a while, but I suppose it’s time for me to post! I hope we all get into Stanford together! =) now back to writing my essays!</p>

<p>I’ll also come out of lurking, and I’ll second the good wishes for everyone! :)</p>

<p>Just decided to go for it, since I recently found out that applying early to public institutions is allowed as well. Funny to think I wasn’t even going to apply to Stanford about a month ago…</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone applying! I’ve finally committed to Yale SCEA rather than Stanford. Hope to join you guys with a RD acceptance though. :)</p>

<p>and oh, the Yale thread is so much more active. :P</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>we’ll see… after a few weeks… history repeats, my friend :p</p>
