Official Stanford SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>My UC app will be in, but I’m having a hard time getting motivated to do the others until I hear from Stanford. Christmas will (probably) be rough with about 9 essays to write…</p>

<p>The ones I have at the ready are Rice, Northwestern, and ND… I’ll probably still send them in anyways if I get in, but if I don’t, I hope to have 2 or 3 more done by mid-December, just so that I can enjoy Christmas week.</p>

<p>I’m already working on Duke and UChicago. So, I will be submitting those apps the 1st week of December, then I will work on some state colleges.</p>

<p>I’ve already send in Scripps, and will get to Claremont McKenna later this month. But Pomona is my second choice, and my interview with a Pomona alum this past Tuesday went great! Stanford doesn’t offer interviews in my area, though.</p>

<p>Just sent in the UC app for me. Berkeley’s my second choice too, even if it is the rival school. Ahah.</p>

<p>Stanford has been my dream school since I was little. I hope I get in. The suspense is killing me!</p>

<p>Lol I just looked over last years thread for right before the descisions came back, its so intense. That’s gonna be us in a month</p>

<p>It is such a long shot for me, I’m sure I’ll just be congratulating everyone else.</p>

<p>Yeah. It’s really scary. Will they notify us by email about our admission?</p>

<p>Yeah, they will. “All decisions will be sent via email from Richard Shaw, Dean of Admission and Financial Aid, and will not be available on any Stanford website.”</p>

<p>I’m actually reading the Stanford SCEA 2015 thread too, and it’s pretty interesting. And really, really long.</p>

<p>**** i didn’t get an email from Stanford explicitly saying “We received your application”
but i submitted

  1. commonap
  2. supplement
  3. payment
  4. school forms
    all in time. granted it was the day before the deadline. but it was all sent. pacific standard time kept.</p>

<p>what does this mean???
if i didn’t receive an email fro stanford saying they got my application does it mean that it’ts not getting reviewed?
but i got 2 mails from Commonapp
and checked again and everything’s green and it says COMPLETE</p>

<p>i am freaking out</p>

<p>UGHHHHHH, I just thought of the most brilliant essay to write for intellectual vitality!!! Damn.</p>

<p>Don’t worry if you haven’t got the Stanford email yet! They have so many applications coming in… It’s going to take a while to send all the emails. I applied a week before deadline and it took 2 weeks to get the email. Be patient I’m sure your fine.</p>

<p>Can someone post the link to last year’s thread? I want to see how “intense” it actually is.</p>

<p>Nevermind, found it. Pretty gnarly indeed haha</p>

<p>I’m on my phone so I can’t post the link but u could just google the title of this thread but change it to 2015 and its the one with 357 pages. And avtrox u will probably get the email in a couple days</p>

<p>So what apps are you guys working on? I just have to cut 30 words from my UC app and I’m going to submit that soon.</p>

<p>Harvard, UPenn, Harvey Mudd or MIT next…</p>

<p>Am I the only one surprised Harvard’s application is that short and simple?</p>

<p>Nah. I was also surprised at Harvard’s app. I’m working on my Emory and Duke apps right now. Anyone else?</p>

<p>@avtrox Go here (<a href=“https://axess.stanford.edu/[/url]”>https://axess.stanford.edu/&lt;/a&gt;) and click “Check Application Status”? Can’t really hurt.</p>

<p>Ahh, I’m working on USC’s app currently since I want to meet that merit scholarship deadline. Otherwise, working on Caltech next, I think. </p>

<p>I’d like to be able to stay in California if I can. (:</p>
