<p>The luckiest day of my life was on the 13th, hopefully this day will bring luck again :)</p>

202

<p>Is it true they look at essays a lot? Because if that’s the case, I’m seriously screwed. My essays sucked balls</p>

203

<p>Let’s hope luck is on our side once more, Sharingan =)</p>

204

<p>@stanfordready They are biased towards juniors they hint to this on their website</p>

205

<p>^biased towards Juniors as in positively?</p>

206

<p>^yes, that’s what bias means… Lol.</p>

207

<p>oh, thank you =) I wasn’t sure LOL, since bias is always used in such a negative sense.</p>

208

<p>I guess it is in common speech… Being in AP Stat sort of takes away the negative connotation of it lulz</p>

209

<p>5:00 PM is 8:00 AM Saturday for me. Means either the entire day will be good, or I’ll be moping around all day. :P</p>

210

<p>At 5:00 PM PDT today, I will be on an airplane somewhere over the midwest. My boarding pass says the flight has wireless internet, so I will probably be shelling out the five bucks to check my app…</p>

211

<p>About 5 hours left :!</p>

212

<p>AHHH scared for the results! Good luck all (:</p>

213

<p>3 hours left peeps. scared outta my mind</p>

214

<p>I was just thinking…70-75/ over 1000 applicants probably…I kinda feel like I should just stop even hoping at this point -_____- My app wasn’t that great at all.</p>

215

<p>I stopped hoping after I was rejected from the first four programs I applied to. I still have this and city of hope, but I have learned to expect nothing. Pretty sure I’m just gonna get a job this summer, take a college course in microbiology, and start my college apps. It will be nice to have a little free time :)</p>

216

<p>uhhh city of hope results have been out since last week</p>

217

<p>No. Some people have been contacted by professors, some people have been rejected, and some people haven’t heard at all (I’m not the only one, I know that for sure). No official email has gone out letting us know who is in the top 100, that I know of. </p>

<p>Why? Did you apply and hear back?</p>

218

<p>Just got a call. </p>

<p>I’m in. Omg. Omg. Omg. </p>

<p>I can’t even…</p>

<p>I’m shaking.</p>

219

<p>call from simr?</p>

220

<p>Yeah. I got a call from the admissions people. They said I’ll get an email in an hour.</p>
