*Official* Stanford REA 2015 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>I don’t even have SAT II’s so you’re still better off than me lol.</p>

<p>^ </p>

<p>umm… kaira07’s applying to Yale SCEA.</p>

<p>Non Academic Interests:
I work with kids a loooot. I nanny around 25 hours a week, which is AWESOME.
While I play the piano, it’s hardly a passion of mine.
Does shopping count as a non-academic interest? If so, PUT ME DOWN! :slight_smile:
I’m a reader (but who isn’t),
and an editor. I put my name down as a CC essay editor, and all of a sudden I’m swamped! Like 15 essays a day to edit, but I love it.
I’m also the biggest Grey’s Anatomy fan EVER.</p>

<p>Courtney----</p>

<p>I love to shop, too! I’m a bargain shopper ^^
if you ever come to the bay, (hopefully we both get accepted), I’ll take you to places. :)</p>

<p>@courtneyenpointe</p>

<p>The only TV shows I watch are WWE, and The Big Bang Theory xD</p>

<p>favorite show? (I haven’t legitly watched a TV show/movie in years T__T but anyway)…</p>

<p>F.R.I.E.N.D.S!
<33333</p>

<p>Nerdess- You’re so friendly; I love it! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Sarbaraj- WWE? A manly man, are we? ;)</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>haha… it’s professional wrestling, but I enjoy it.</p>

<p>I also love MMA. At one point in my life (around grade 6), I wanted to be a mixed-martial artist xD</p>

<p>oh, I forgot. I also watch anime (not on TV though). Liked “Death Note” a lot.</p>

<p>Haha practically everyone on this thread is Asian, right? IT’S SO OBVIOUS. :)</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>:p</p>

<p>That reminds me of our “parents” discussion in 2014 thread xD</p>

<p>

</p>

<ol>
<li>Church youth group :D</li>
<li>Swimming (for leisure; I’m not really interested in competitive sports in general :p) </li>
<li>Volleyball (same as above) </li>
<li>Window shopping</li>
<li>Biking (this is why Stanford would probably not be a bad fit ;))</li>
</ol>

<p>^</p>

<p>the word “biking” was depressing to me. Some astrologer told dad that I should not be allowed two-wheelers, so I wasn’t even allowed to learn to ride a bicycle until grade 9.</p>

<p>And… I don’t like four-wheelers so much >.<</p>

<p>Why were you involved in the 2014 thread? I’m kind of confused at that. Also, what was the discussion about?</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>I applied REA during 2014 too. We discussed how “strict” Asian parents are.</p>

<p>Well, I only have one Asian parent, so I’ve seen both sides :)</p>

<p>What we have discussed/blabbered about till now v. 12</p>
