Writing (Rate Quality on 1-10 Scale; 10 as Best):[ul]
[] Essays (Include Subjects):[list]
[li] Common App Main: I did topic of your choice and wrote a detailed essay on my nerdiness. Not unbelievably profound, but fairly down to earth and cute. (9)[/li][] EC Short Answer: About my involvement in and passion for my schools environmental club. (9)
[] Intellectual Vitality: absolute FAILprocrastinated like crazy and made some glaring, unforgivable errors that caused the essay to be terribly confusing. (3)
[] Roommate: Brilliant, but definitely not enough to make up for my first essay. (10)
[] Why Stanford: Well-written, though I think my lack of research/effort may have been apparent. (8)
[] Other:[/ul]
[] Teacher Recommendation #1: My science teacher really liked me and probably wrote a nice rec. She recommended me for the science award. (7 or 8?)
[] Teacher Recommendation #2: My English teacher adored me (in an acceptance speech for me, he claimed I was one of the best writers out of the 3000+ AP, honors, and Academy students he had taughta claim I find highly doubtful, but certainly to my benefit). He is also an exceptionally good writer. I expect that this one was especially good. (9 or 10)

Reflection[ul]
[] Strengths: Test scores, Recs, some of my essays
[] Weaknesses: Lack of involvement and leadership in extracurriculars

[] What would you have done differently?:[/ul] I would have started my essays a good month earlier. Even a week or a couple days earliernot at 6:00 p.m. on January 1. It was completely stupid of me to think I could get away with writing the essays at the last minute.

General Comments:

Though I am a bit disappointed that I was not accepted, BY NO MEANS do I think that, had I started my essays earlier, I would definitely have been accepted. Thats simply not true, or even reasonable. I just know that, by procrastinating so badly, I basically erased any chance I had at acceptance. I had a shot, and I screwed it up :/

At least I have Berkeley Engineering to cheer me up :D

then. . .
Accepted

[] IB (place score in parentheses): SL Physics - 7, SL Spanish - 6
[] Senior Year Course Load: Hardest available, 4 HL classes, 2 sciences, and 0 hour chamber orchestra (initially I only committed to taking orchestra my 1st semester, that might have made them a little leery)

[] Income Bracket: 100,000
[] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Legacy (mom went there for undergrad)[/ul]

Reflection[ul]
[] Strengths: High test scores, well rounded, passionate.
[] Weaknesses: No super cool awards.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I was initially deferred possibly because they wanted to see the results of my Biology M test, which I took in November of 2009, which may have been a minus cause I took it at exactly the time when they couldn’t see it and schools that I must have been planning to apply RD would see it (ie clearly Stanford wasn’t my everything).[/li]
After being deferred, I
-sent them a short Z*inch.com post saying they were still my first choice (why do these forums think Z i n c h is profanity?)
-chose them as my number one college once I became national merit finalist
-used the link they sent me in the deferral email to send them an update in Feb about how I got an excellent rating at a music fair, won a couple awards at a regional science fair, and had chosen to continue with 0 hour chamber orchestra my second semester.

Dunno how much the above contributed, but I was finally accepted at the end of March!

[li] What would you have done differently?: I would have either taken my 3rd SAT subject test earlier or not listed it in my application since they wouldn’t get the scores anyways. I would have committed to taking 0 hour chamber orchestra my second semester in my initial application.[/ul][/li]

markie59 · May 29, 2010, 11:48am

why should “gay” have any thing to do with your admission? That sounds like reverse discrimination right there…don’t you think?

markie59 · May 29, 2010, 11:55am

looking at your scores, I’d venture to say it was your EC’s maybe more than your essay…wow…pinning your hopes on a letter from the Japanese teacher…yeah, there’s a meal ticket
