<p>Harambee- you’re applying to all ivies? I’m applying to Princeton and Dartmouth, my 2nd and 3rd choices after stanford, and also duke, Pomona, UChicago and Nortwestern</p>
<p>Princeton, Harvard, UConn, Tulane, USC, maybe Vanderbilt and Penn depending on what happens in December…</p>
<p>almost done with the supplement! actually so excited to submit it… the common app is already in though :)</p>
<p>^ How did that happen? The Common App made me submit the Stanford supplement first before anything…</p>
<p>
Hopefully, I won’t have to. But if I’m deferred or not accepted to Stanford REA, I’ll probably apply to most of the Ivies.</p>
<p>Gotcha gotcha. I don’t even know if I’ll apply anywhere else if I’m accepted… :P</p>
<p>I’ll be applying to 20ish colleges if I am deferred/rejected.</p>
<p>If accepted, I <em>might</em> apply to Harvard.</p>
<p>^ Wow o.o Good luck with that…</p>
<p>
Why? Harvard is poop, your saying that like its better than Stanford. It’s your college years, do you want to not have fun and learn or have fun and still learn?</p>
<p>Woah woah woah that’s awful negative. I think sarbaraj was just saying that if accepted to Stanford, the only place comparable to even think about also wanting to attend is Harvard. I don’t think a college prevents a person from having fun. I think you can make a conscious decision to enjoy where you’re at or not, no matter where it is. And regardless, saying that students who attend Harvard don’t have fun is kind of an exaggeration. I know two different students there (yes, I know there are many more) who absolutely love it. Just remember, you make your own fun. You’ll enjoy yourself wherever you are if you choose to.</p>
<p>I’m applying REA lol. My chance of making it is probably slim to none, but it’s worth a shot applying to my dream school.</p>
<p>I’m just about done with my app, if I get in, I think the only other school I’d apply to would be USC, just to see if I’ll get any scholarships.</p>
<p>@all</p>
<p>can everybody please refrain from trash-talk posts like #169 ?</p>
<p>Hello people, first of all good to luck to all those applying to Stanford…
but I have a question, I am taking my SAT subjects in November, that means I can send them directly to Stanford for REA right?</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Please check the website. As of last year, they don’t accept November scores.</p>
<p>^ Exactly. If you feel that you need to submit your subject test scores, you should wait and apply RD instead.</p>
<p>Would it hurt me not to send in SAT II scores? I know that they say I won’t be disadvantaged, but in that case, why would anyone take the subject tests?</p>
<p>Well it gives them a more comprehensive idea of your academic capabilities. However, if your transcript stands strong on its own, go ahead and submit without em!</p>
<p>@BigKev</p>
<p>I think they mean that you won’t be penalized for not submitting the SAT subject test, but if you submit them (and have excellent scores) you will have a certain advantage.</p>
<p>Hey guys. Is the REA an edge at Stanford? Because I think I will be more prepared for RD, but not sure if that will decrease my chances. </p>
<p>Also, for the essays, my first essay was about 300 words while the word count said up to 250 words. However, I was able to fit everything side the 1800 character count. Is that okay?</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>I think 300 might be a bit too much. Try trimming down a few words maybe?</p>
<p>REA… we have discussed that before. Please see the previous pages. :)</p>
