<p>This thread is for stats and decisions only. When future generations of college applicants want information on what kind of students got into Stanford, they don’t wanna read a bunch of worthless discussion. That can be saved for our other thread. That being said, no more post are necessary until decision day.</p>
<p>Oh, dear trackstar. You just opened this thread up for discussion. Excuse me if you didn’t quite understand the meaning of my post. By worthless, I meant posts not of worth to future applicants. However, your post certainly had different implications. Our thread most CERTAINLY is not worthless. In fact, this thread had facilitated some what I expect to be lifelong friendships, depending on admittance. I have plenty of others who agree with me. So, trackstar, ■■■■.</p>
<p>I can’t possibly wait or think anymore. I can’t focus on anything cause all I think about is Stanford. Let’s hope they release on Friday so anxiety is released. AH!</p>
