<p>Gahhhhh, I just want some piece of evidence that like clearly supports the 7th :/</p>
<p>@seungyeonfan Welcome! Right now, we think it’s the 7th because of the Columbia fact, the fact that it’s usually 2 weeks after Thanksgiving, the fact that it’s usually before the date on the Alumni letter (this time the letter said the 14th), and the fact that they like to do it on a Friday but they probably have the applications done already so might as well do it this Fri rather than next.</p>
<p>^AND because of the SCEA FAQ page that said 6100 applicants, 750 accepted…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>BUT SOON ENOUGH GRAD SCHOOL SHENANIGANS WILL BEGIN. </p>
<p>I am depressingly optimistic. I don’t want to be optimistic! It will just hurt more.</p>
<p>Yes @ccuser95 good point!!</p>
<p>@Holocene: As of now, I’m co-terming. I did realize yesterday that I should probably go to grad school somewhere else so that my children will have legacy status multiple places, but… then I have to deal with apps. And depressing optimism isn’t just me? That’s good.</p>
<p>I think the “hope for the best, prepare for the worst” philossophy is the best here…</p>
<p>I think that would be the best approach ^</p>
<p>I bet all of the decisions will be made by tomorrow. They might be done today. I think they will finish tomorrow.</p>
<p>I’m a psychic, obviously.</p>
<p>Guyz I’m actually going crazy. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As long as my kids are nice people idgaf where they go to college. If they are ambitious and benefit from legacy, then that would be good. Not sure if I can deliver though. I do have legacy at an ivy and Stanford cause my dad did undergrad at an ivy. Convenient, I suppose.</p>
<p>Shiz guys I just need to get through this massive Calc test tomorrow and then I can focus on freaking out. I really, REALLY hope it’s the 7th. I can’t maintain this for much longer.</p>
<p>@Holocene: Obviously I don’t care about where my future children go to college, but seeing how tough admissions are, I want to give them as many boosts as possible. As of now I’m still in favor of co-terming, unless I really want to change schools/there is a professor somewhere else that I’d like to work with.</p>
<p>^Yeah, that definitely makes sense. As of now, I’m thinking med school. I really, really want to get into a UC med school because they are the cheapest options. I’m also considering a PhD, maybe in biological anthropology (which I intend to major in, or a variation of it at places w/o it). Being a professor would be cool, but competition for a tenure track position is so crazy that I worry about not being able to find a job. At least there isn’t debt with PhDs. But yeah, idk what I will base that on. I definitely have a loooottt of time to think about it.</p>
<p>I want to do computer science and stay in the Silicon Valley.</p>
<p>I wish I could like computer science…it’s a great field. I just…don’t.</p>
<p>I’d like to study psychology and go straight into grad school. Then I’d do research psych for a while, establish myself, and then open a private clinical practice. And, of course, Stanford is hands down #1 for psych, so… Haha</p>
<p>Finally, someone on this site with the same opinion as me. Who cares if your children/ descendants are rich/scholarly. If you are not a kind, genuine person, then you are not someone I want to be associated with</p>
<p>Is anyone else getting their admissions decision in school? Because of the time zone difference I get mine in the middle of the day. I don’t know what I am gonna do if I get rejected</p>
<p>I’ll get mine about an hour after school, thankfully. One hour before my Bowdoin interview if it’s this Friday :o Another one of my top choices, so I can’t really afford to screw that one up after a Stanford rejection.</p>
<p>Poor planning on my part.</p>
<p>I have a test until 2:45 (PST) and I’m freaking out that I will not be able to concentrate. I have class, but I’m going to wait until I go home at 3:30 to open the email. Although I do have a 103% in that class… maybe I’ll go home early. If it’s this week I can, next week it will be my last class before the final, so I will have to stay.</p>
<p>itll be 6:30 over on the east coast so i have to spend like 3 hours after school trying to entertain myself cause those 3 hours will be the longest of my life…well probably besides the last three hours of an 11 hour plane ride. those sucked.</p>
<p>question: stanford was my only app that asked me specifically what I did with my summers. do yall think what we did actually matters that much? what did yall do in your summers?</p>
