Stanford - 2007 Transfer Thread

<p>jna,
Well it seems despite my best attempts to both describe what I considered unique, while clarifying that this did not make me * superior*, it has turned into a shouting match.</p>

<p>If you knew anything about the area around Stanford you would understand that the 101 highway serves as a racial and socioeconomic barrier. There are Palo Alto, Atherton, Menlo on the west... while the east side contains East Menlo and East Palo Alto, although East Menlo has yet to be institutionally segregated from Menlo Park the way EPA and PA are.</p>

<p>I will agree that Hunter's point is a less than nice place (I've seen the film strait outta hunter's point), but I would consider anyplace where there is gang activity to the point where territorial signs are spray painted on the fence of your house (which indeed happened to me) then that constitutes a less than safe neighborhood.
Again, let me reiterate that I am not normatively better than you or anyone else for this, but it is something I consider a unique experience that also relates specifically to Stanford more than a school someplace else.</p>

<p>edit: Skiingfool, I'm afraid I can't say I'm a local. I spent a gap year in the area, and currently go to school in Evanston Illinois. Sometimes I wish I had stayed and attended Foothill CC to compete for the few spots they save for students from there.</p>

<p>Kanye: "Stanford Admissions Does Not Care About Po' People."</p>

<p>Mr T: "I pity the foo"</p>

345

<p>hey guys, good luck today!</p>

346

<p>You guys are arguing about who's gonna get in because they live in a certain area?</p>

<ol>
<li>We're all gonna get rejected.</li>
<li>I live in South Georgia and I'm poor.</li>
</ol>

347

<p>why are u even keeping this thread alive?</p>

<p>u can't deny it, we are all rejected, stop all of this and do somethin more useful with ur time, just accept it as it is</p>

348

<p>^^ masochistic perhaps? i don't know. rejection letters are the best motivation.</p>

349

<p>countdown to the "CC Stanford 2007 transfer thread massacre" begins now. wonder how high the body count will get :P</p>

350

<p>I'll take a wild guess, a shot in the dark and say...oh I don't know, 1380 bodies, approximately?</p>

351

<p>^^ i mean just of the members participating on this thread. overall i bet you're right.</p>

352

<p>i bet 1 or 2 of us will get in tho</p>

356

<p>decisions have been up since last week</p>

357

<p>i dont believe the sunetid thing is legit</p>

358

<p>^^ haha. if the theory is true. no way to confirm this i guess, but i haven't heard any REAL reasons why it isn't.</p>

359

<p>any word on if that secret housing trick ended up having any legitimacy? if nothing else, we'll know soon.</p>

360

<p>I just created a SUid but it still won't let me onto the admit site... Am I doing something wrong for the trick?</p>
