<p>typically wait 2 days, so expect it tomorrow.</p>
<p>Hey, in order to make a better decision, I'll be visiting Stanford on 29 May. I've been to Berkeley many times and know and love the place; I have almost no experience of Stanford. I'm sure many of you know Stanford quite well-- could you suggest or recommend something to do or see while I'm there to make the experience complete?</p>

<p>make sure you take your allergy medication.</p>
<p>to jna which school will you be going for fall 07?</p>
<p>^^ not quite sure yet. still awaiting decisions from four schools. i will probably have a better idea in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>OK, I promised some people my stats. Hopefully someone will find this useful.</p>
<p>I must preface this by saying I really doubt Stanford accepted me because of my numbers. I'd be willing to bet that my academics are rather mediocre compared to most other people's on this board. Not bad, just not exceptional. </p>
<p>My SATs weren't spectacular either, but I think the fact that I last took them a long time ago, and so retook them all over again solely just for the Stanford app I think may have helped a bit.</p>
<p>I feel what got me in was the fact that I'm a weirdo, plain and simple, and I made sure my essays reflected that. I'm a very non-traditional student, not just in the fact that I returned to school after a couple years, and have a wife and kid, but that I have some rather alternative views about life, people, and the world in general. Views that some might even consider downright decadent, if not just progressive.</p>
<p>I left school originally to start my own business. Most people don't consider a rock band a business, but it most certainly is-- all too much for me. Sorry guys, life, and music, is about so much more than money. Next time you turn on the radio, or buy a CD, remember that you're not listening to music, you're listening to product. Disgusted, I decided to leave the music business and return to school in a completely different field. Who knows-- I'll probably end up getting disgusted with this industry too, after a while, but for now I'm having fun just learning stuff. Hmmm, maybe I should just stay in academia.</p>
<p>I had some fantastic coaching on my essays from the resident Stanford alum at my CCC. I worked on them somewhat leisurely, but steadily between 30 Nov (the date the UC app was due) and 15 March.</p>
<p>Current school: San Bernardino Valley College ( & some classes at Riverside Community College)
Original school: Rhode Island College</p>
<p>GPA (@ the CCCs): 3.98
GPA (overall) ~3.6</p>
<p>SAT Reasoning:
Critical Reading: 750
Math 670
Writing 760</p>
<p>SAT Subject:
Math L2: 730
Physics: 740</p>
<p>Honestly, I still haven't decided between Stanford and Berkeley yet.</p>
<p>So Stanford accepts SATs taken after graduating high school? Excellent.</p>
<p>I was denied, but I kinda expected it I sent in my application after the fact that they had told me that I had missing materiels, I am not losing any sleep over the decision, good luck and congrats to those accepted to the farm, it will be nice.</p>
<p>Just got my "sorry, we're still full" letter back from the committee.</p>
