*Official* Stanford REA 2015 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>Ps I DJ so if I miraculously get in, I’ll definitely be making sure we party hard!!</p>

<p>Wow Jason. Is there anything you CAN’T do? :p</p>

<p>Jason haha we’re gonna need it! I missed out on everything this weekend cuz I’ve been so sick.</p>

<p>What’s everyone doing for halloween?! Speaking of costume parties, I’m having one at my house Saturday. Everyone should come haha ;)</p>

<p>Jason, I wish my schedule could be more like yours T<em>T
my weekly tests in all my classes are on Mondays
thus sunday night = cram time
@</em>_@ saaaave meeee…</p>

<p>*speaking of which, easy way to save my own soul would be getting my bum away from the computer and studying :stuck_out_tongue:
nice talking to y’all :} good to know that we’re a cool bunch.
byebye (and good night for those east coast-ers)! hopefully the thread won’t double next time I check, as it did last time xD</p>

<p>Jason, you should check out my music blog for some sick tracks. I come from one of the party capitals of the nation, get ready</p>

<p>Fledg - I can semi cook :p. Oh and tell cheesy jokes. </p>

<p>My social life has been hurting lately … Ugh</p>

<p>Fledgling, I think he’s hitting on you. Congrats.</p>

<p>Courtney - I was totally joking before. I spend as much time here as anyone else. And no I’m not hitting on her, just showing that I really don’t take myself seriously. After all I’m an African living in TN… Haha</p>

<p>What are people doing for the supplement questions with the 300 character limits? I’m confused on stuff like the five words to describe yourself. Am I supposed to go into detail about why each word describes me or just leave it at the words?</p>

<p>Same with the other questions about my favorite events and such, am I supposed to explain why I enjoyed them? Really I’m just lost at the super short answer questions overall.</p>

<p>In the 5 words to describe yourself, you just have to list them.
You don’t really have to explain any of your answers, if you can it wouldn’t hurt, maybe even help, but you don’t have to.
Be honest. Stanford asks those questions to get to know you. Check this out:</p>

<p>WHY DOES EVERYONE POST WHEN I’M SLEEPING/ IN SCHOOL?
I feel left out. :frowning:
I wish I’d done Stanford EA though. You guys are so much fun. :)</p>

<p>I just spent the last ten minutes reading this!! LOOOONNNGGGG. Don’t you guys have school? :stuck_out_tongue: Oh wait, it was Sunday for you. <em>grumbles</em> </p>

<p>Okay so I’m gonna post what i missed. Music- I LOVE classical music. Always wanted to learn the piano. Huge Vivaldi fan. Apart from that I’m an alternate rock kind of girl. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>What i do for fun-
READ. A LOT.
Play basketball (though i’m totally into the competitive sport thing)
Hang out with friends. Duh.
Shoppingggg. =)
Travel. I LOVE traveling! What are you guys favourite places? Anyone come to Asia? If yes, where? </p>

<p>Anyone else love Second hand Serenade?</p>

<p>Courtney- Did you figure out who I am on facebook? and so in sync about the prince charming thing. :wink: Though i concluded they don’t exist unfortunately. And OMG story of your freshman year? :confused: </p>

<p>Fledgling, Jason, Wulfran and everyone else- PM me your names and I’ll add you! </p>

<p>and LOL at Courtney’s post about Jason and Fledgling. (though i think it went both ways.) ;)</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>I don’t have facebook. Add me up on Skype xD</p>

<p>I wish I had found out about this thread earlier…</p>

<p>My favorite place is Spain, hands down, but since I grew up there I’m kinda biased xD I live in Asia, in the Middle East =)
The first Second Hand Serenade song I ever heard was ‘Fall for you’ and I LOOOVED IT, but Im not really a fan…</p>

<p>My sister just taught me how to find information about people with the simplest detail, and its sooo much fun. Im not a stalker nor anything but I liked it.</p>

<p>@sarbaraj101
you don’t have facebook?!!? 8O</p>

<p>Kaira - I love traveling too! In Asia, I have been to Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Laos, India, Singapore. That’s it though. IT’s a great place :D</p>

<p>@CrazySmiles</p>

<p>Well I did… but I deleted it some time ago. It was interfering WAAAAY too much with everything else.</p>

<p>I’ve been to all the places you mentioned except Laos. Isn’t India the best though? :D</p>

<p>But my favourite place to travel to is Europe. Italy and Austria=best places+best food ever(after Indian). But Croatia is also reallyy pretty.</p>

<p>CrazySmiles- That sounds useful. Teach me too please. :)</p>

<p>Kaira- I’m not sure if I’ve figured out who you are or not yet!</p>
