<p>My school hasn’t gotten many positive results today: a deferral from Brown, Northwestern and Bowdoin. Not many people applied to very competitive schools, or those who have, haven’t told anyone.</p>
<p>On the bright side, there’s a bit of comfort in rejection if so many other people are being accepted. I think one of the hardest things is seeing everyone being accepted, except for you.</p>
<p>Okay - change of topic - favorite music artist anyone?</p>
<p>Anyone know the name of the email address the decisions come out from? To make sure it doesn’t go to spam</p>
<p>@neuromajor</p>
<p>Last year it came from “Stanford Admissions Office,” <a href=“mailto:admission@stanford.edu”>admission@stanford.edu</a></p>
<p>Thanks, I made sure it’ll show up in the primary section of gmail. Anyone else refreshing their email repetitively even though they know it won’t be there for at least 6 hours?</p>
<p>@neuromajor
haha nah…im studying for my exams</p>
<p>I have a really lax day at school and way too much free time today :/</p>
<p>How is this page note being filled up completely with anxiety filled comments. Im dying here. My decision comes out at 4:30 am because of the time difference, I don’t know how to get through the night</p>
<p>@tastydoge</p>
<p>i suggest you don’t sleep through the night…stay up thts what i would do…its an important day and I doubt u would be able to sleep.
btw do u live close to borivali east?</p>
<p>@tastydoge </p>
<p>I was thinking the same thing! I’m a Harvard SCEA-er and I’m surprised to see Stanford applicants not freaking out</p>
<p>Alright guys, less than 5 hours left. We can do this!</p>
<p>They are all trying to be the future “ducks” at this point.</p>
<p>Couldn’t sleep last night at all. I actually had a dream last night about getting my admissions decision and it was a wacky one lol. Like most dreams, I can’t even remember what the decision was. I will be at my computer from three on and will capture the moment on video.</p>
<p>@matrixsurgeon, nope, I don’t live in Borivali. Anyway are you from Ambani? I heard 3 brilliant people applied from there this year</p>
<p>6 not 3 sorry</p>
<p>@tastydoge</p>
<p>i dont live in india lolol, im in north carolina, us</p>
<p>@texas…we should have known that our K2 was going to be a duck on the “farm” when K2 was so “chill” when accepted to H early last year…K2 is still very chill on the “farm”…</p>
<p>…and by the way texas…practicing to be a “duck” will be helpful when your daughter goes to medical school/become an executive…you want to be cool under pressure…</p>
<p>It’s so weird but as the decision release time gets closer, I’m feeling calmer…I’ve just accepted the finality of whatever fate awaits me. Or is it just an early onset of duck syndrome?(that should be a good sign I guess)</p>
<p>gravitas - don’t know how chill D is on campus although finals are freaking her out at the moment. Today is the last one. Some of the premed classes are curved on a B- with 300 students.</p>
<p>Goodluck everyone. Just remember not getting in is not a barometer of your worth.</p>
<p>The current vice-provost of Stanford keeps repeating that he was not able to get in back in seventies when the admit rate was 25% and now it has dropped to 5.7%. However, he made it to being Vice Provost and the current President went to Villanova. </p>
<p>In the end, you are what you make of yourself.</p>
<p>texas…unfortunately that is the way it is at most elite schools…especially for premeds…that is why NOW more than ever MANY of the sophisticated “premeds” only take the mandatory premed courses (to prepare for the MCATs) and major in something that they are truly interested in…it does not have to be in human biology or biology related fields…something to think about…</p>
<p>…and it won’t diminish your D’s chance of going to med school…as a matter of fact, the TOP med schools actually “seek” out those who are passionate in whatever their “major” happens to be…arts, music, computer science, engineering, literature, languages, linguistics, etc…as long as you have taken the minimal med school requirements (which is really MINIMAL)</p>
