<p>De2: I mean how much I will suck compared to other applicants =) Listing all my accomplishments will be like, what have I been doing all high school? lol..</p>
<p>I pretty much knew from the start of last year who I wanted. I have to change one of my reccomendations though. But that will definantly be the easy part. I know all of teachers like me. But for me, it was about who could express it very well.</p>
<p>julyinoh: I know how you feel, it's very eye-opening.</p>

<p>God, everyone here has a 4.0 UW nooooo!!!!:) I don't want to sound sexist but girls these days are too smart. Hmm, I read an article that said that at some colleges there are more than twice as many girls as boys. Totally random I know but I'm hoping being a reasonably intelligent boy will be a hook for colleges hehe.:D</p>
<p>BTW, I'm no longer applying to Stanford SCEA guys due to some issues but I'll definitely be applying RD so good luck to all of you!!!!</p>
<p>I just thought I'd update the list of current SCEA-ers. I predict that it'll be much, much longer by November 1st:</p>
