<p>Thanks guys, I’m super nervous! I’m used to 1 on 1 interviews, but this sounds like I’m going before a committee…</p>
<p>Goodness. You guys remind me so much of myself last year. If you all stalk the previous year’s thread as much as we did, you’ll remember that REA was a little gory for us- but remember that even those who didn’t get in LOVE LOVE LOVE the places they ended up. I’m at Stanny myself now, so I can’t really talk, but don’t get caught up in the labels of schools. I was actually having a really hard time deciding between Stanford and UAlabama, myself, and my friends chose not to go to their reach schools are really happy.</p>
<p>I’m hoping you all get in, obviously!!! But it’s not the end of the world if you don’t.</p>
<p>^ Why WOULDN’T you go to your reach school? Top schools have better financial aid, so $$$ usually isn’t an issue.</p>
<p>I can’t find 2005 date, but every year it seems like it’s been a Friday, so that’s good news…</p>

Wish you a sincere luck! Hope you can earn as much as you deserve!</p>
<p>AHHH Stanford -_- …
I agree with littledot-don’t get caught up in the labels of schools.
:)</p>
<p>@littledot: Thanks for the confidence. Even though I’ve wanted to go to Stanford for a VERY long time, I’m sure that my life won’t end just because I didn’t get accepted. (i.e. in the mindframe for a rejection…)</p>
<p>Now for Friday…</p>
<p>Hey you know, I think college confidential itself is pretty amazing. If you think about it, right now I’m looking at this thread on my phone on a bus in new York city, and other people are probably looking at it right now on computers and cell phones and iPads all around the world. I think it’s pretty amazing that Stanford can do that for us. In that way we’re a unique group ourselves :)</p>
<p>I agree but I’m still gonna bee sad for months after I get rejected</p>
<p>Some videos in preparation for (hopefully) Friday:</p>

<p>Found out the perfect way to get your mind off the decisions…</p>
<p>Start trying for a girl ;)</p>
<p>Right now I have no more anxiety over decisions. So Epic.</p>
<p>My friend and I are the biggest “players” in school.</p>
<p>Yeah buddy? Yet, you manage to fit in time to post at an alarming rate on CC, show disturbing, obsessive behavior concerning college, and seem to be a prolific liar.</p>
<p>I don’t go to school 24/7. I make 3 posts-per-day, how is that alarming?</p>
<p>Damn, Harvard applicants found out the committee adjourned today, I wonder if Stanford is still in committee process or if they’re finished?</p>
<p>hahah that song cheered me up aeropromaster (:</p>
<p>just applied to Duke!!</p>
<p>Someone want to call and ask? :p</p>
<p>I think they’re closed right now, but I’ll call tomorrow from a friend’s phone, so they cannot find out who I am from my phone number. :)</p>
<p>Oh, I just called, and they said they are STILL in committee, and are not sure when they will release decisions. I asked again “Do ALL applicants go to committee?” The lady on the phone said, “Yes.”</p>
<p>Thanks for the update</p>
<p>@rush10, you might want to go to the school that isn’t your reach school because of financial reasons. While it is true that the reach schools generally offer more need-based financial aid, they also don’t offer ANY merit based financial aid… So at Stanford I would have to pay a reduced rate because of financial aid, but because of what my parents make it would still be nigh on $28,000 a year, whereas I have been offered a full ride to numerous other schools due to National Merit rankings. So, I’m still considering schools like Baylor or Wake Forest, that have offered a full ride, even if I am accepted into Stanford.</p>
<p>Rush10: rock on!
Dapotatoman: mack on!
Stanfordcs: phone on?</p>
