<p>Stanford is the world’s largest Mexican restaurant.</p>
<p>EDIT: Thanks MasterYster and texaspg for setting up a proper results thread. Is the letter to future applicants finalized and ready to go? If so, we should post it soon.</p>
<p>Just wanted to let you guys know that my uncle is an admissions officer at Stanford and already has all the results. If you really want to know your results early, PM me your name and Common App ID and I’ll tell you for $5 dollars. All payments will occur through PayPal, so rest assured knowing your transactions will be secure.</p>
<p>Just kidding. I just wanted an interesting first post. Good luck to everybody! I’m currently biting my nails in anxiety.</p>
<p>Ahahahahahaha ^
I applaud the effort.</p>
<p>How do you deal with rejection in face of all your friends’ acceptances? Please help :(</p>
<p>Oh! Didn’t see your second post…
But fer reelz, that was good, dude. Haha</p>
<p>I’d rather my friends get in than none of us get in. Sure, I’ll be a selfish pouty teenager for a few days after I get rejected but I couldn’t make myself root against them. Better them than some strangers, right?</p>
<p>theweekndxo: That actually made me laugh out loud, nice job.</p>
<p>wanttogetinbadly: Unless you are the epitome of selfless, I don’t think there’s a way to not feel at least a little hurt. Just know that it’s still early and just because some friends are already accepted doesn’t mean that you won’t get into an equally good school at a later date.</p>

<p>well, all i know is that im probs gonna have to learn soon enough… i might just not say anything or bring it up until/if they ask… i think its just better that way. at the same time, if they get in, u have to show support and respect for them but u dont have to be happy about it lololol.</p>
<p>idk…whatever happens happens. luckily its just the first one so there are plenty of more opportunities so ill probs keep that in mind…</p>
<p>So according to the Princeton Review, Stanford’s students are the happiest in the nation, but some threads indicate otherwise. </p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Same here, it’s driving me crazy. I can’t count how many times people have started conversations with me by saying “When you get into Stanford…” Every time I stop them and explain that the chances of me actually getting accepted are slim. They’re shocked when I tell them that decent scores and a few activities aren’t an automatic in.</p>
<p>dang, tht thread really puts stanford down and is exact opposite of most of the stuff i have heard…</p>
<p>Threads like that have an automatic bias, so I take anything like that with a grain of salt. Of course you’re not going to hear about why Stanford is good in a thread called “what isn’t good about Stanford.”</p>
<p>There’s going to be good and bad wherever you go, so…</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t think depression is localized to Stanford. Granted, I’m sure the intense schoolwork and competitive environment takes a toll on the student base may a bit more than at other schools, but it’s not like every Stanford student is wallowing in despair.</p>
<p>Friday’s going to be a fun day. Not just because of Stanford, but because of all the Ivy decisions coming out on Thursday afternoon. Hopefully I can take some solace being rejected with a bunch of other EA kids from my school.</p>
<p>I never even thought about that. The rejection email will be bad, but telling everyone I got rejected will be so much worse. Everyone I know already knows I’m hearing from Stanford on Friday, and I don’t want to be known as “the guy who got rejected from Stanford.”</p>
<p>Last year our class president ( a 4-yr varsity soccer captain, football captain, top 2% of class, etc etc) got rejected, and the hurt was evident in his face whenever someone asked “Did you get in!?”</p>
<p>Hey guys, I know that one of the hardest part of a rejection is telling others, but it’s all about the mindset! Last year I applied to five very difficult internships and I got rejected from every single one. I then applied to one more and got in. If you tell yourself that an acceptance/deferral/rejections is for you, then it lightens that pressure. As much as telling other people hurts, in the long run, it is for us and us alone, so don’t worry too much about what others will think! :)</p>
<p>Good advice to live by @RedSn0w</p>
<p>I also now understand why some people don’t tell anyone about the colleges that they’re applying to. I really just want to tell people where I’m accepted and leave it that, but unfortunately people know where I’m applying.</p>
<p>I have a huge mouth so I went off and told anyone who asked, so yup, I get to deal with that in the likely chance that I get rejected.</p>
<p>But eh, I don’t care all that much. It’s a potshot for everyone, so I won’t be disappointing in myself if I don’t get in. I’ll be a bit sad then get over it, as I imagine most of us will/should be. No worries!</p>
<p>Lol I told legitly 3 people I’m applying to Stanford. Two of which are applying early to Princeton and Yale and one is a girl I like *****. So if I don’t get in I just won’t tell a soul-but if I do get in however I’ll probably tell the world :x</p>
