Stanford - 2007 Transfer Thread

<p><a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/applying/index.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/applying/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>look at the links on the right</p>

<p>gah.. the suspense is killing me. at this point, i wonder if they're still selecting and if i'm still a potential candidate... i might already be in the rejected pile ahh</p>

<p>^^^ trust me, you would not be alone : P</p>

<p>we are all rejected</p>

<p>RejectedFromMIT, your refreshing optimism is a breath of fresh air for all of us who are waiting so anxiously for our decisions.</p>

<p>Thank you imran that's so sweet of you it's just that I think it's a negative thing to hope for something almost impossible, for me at least, I mean what was I thinking when I applied to somewhere with a 96% rejection rate, and what's more funny is that I still have some hope of getting in, UH</p>

<p>haha i hear ya dude. it is pretty much a crapshoot at this point, tho I'm hoping my undergrad reserach and essays will carry me through...</p>

<p>wouldn't it be cool if we all got in? maybe we're the top of the application pool... hahaha, like that optimism imran?</p>

<p>hahahah that would be amazing, but just looking at the self-selectivity of CC members on here, and seeing that we all (for the most part) have pretty solid apps, I would not be surprised if one of us got in.</p>

<p>last year a bunch of us did. keep the faith guys.</p>

<p>i think that's it</p>

<p>Hey guys - do you all get a weird page when you log into the apply website? It shows that my info is not submitted and that frosh decisions will be online March 30. Is this just me or everyone?</p>

<p>yeah i have that too</p>

<p>you guys logged in to the wrong site</p>

<p>There's two different online apps:
<a href="https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=SU-UT%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=SU-UT&lt;/a> -- which is the transfer app, the one I used; and
<a href="https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=su-ugrad%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=su-ugrad&lt;/a>
which is the freshman app, the one mentioned at <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/announcements/decisions_transfer.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/announcements/decisions_transfer.html&lt;/a>
that mentions the frosh decisions.
I'm able to log into both, and see different sites. I'm assuming the frosh one is where the decisions will ultimately be posted, but I'm still checking both.</p>

<p>Heard today from a friend applying as frosh and received waitlist. Stanford received higher enrollment figures than expected and has closed the waitlist entirely.</p>

<p>Anyone knows what this means for us transfers? Possibly even less room for transfers than expected?...or were they just blown away by our transfer apps and have decided to take us over the frosh? Just a little optimism with our 5% acceptance rate ;)</p>

<p>i dont think the frosh this year affect us.</p>

<p>i hate finals... anyone else taking finals soon?? stanford decisions come out on the day of my last final. i don't think i'm going to look at it until i finish it!</p>

<p>Cornell and Berkeley transfers shoud seriously think abou moving to Stanford. I transferred last year and am now "somewhat" regretting it. If I could wish myself into Cornell or Berkeley right now, I most certainly would. Moving for the sake of social life will be a complete letdown. Switching from Ithaca to Palo Alto will introduce virtually no difference. Moreover, having cold weather is a small price to pay for not being on the quarter system. God forbid that you decide to apply to grad, med, or law school after graduation and you need recs; after 9-10 weeks of instruction you end up not getting to know any professors. I have been here for seven and a half months and I am yet to meet a laid back person. Everybody is all about grades, grades, and grades. I rarely hear people discussing anything besides school and every lecture I get to enjoy kids with no life whatsoever answering questions and pretending to be academic Gods just because they read the material in advance. Yeah, I am sure that one can come up with Euclid's proof in 30 seconds; after all it took Euclid himself, only a couple of years of thinking in solitude. I decided to take CS to satisfy the engineering requirement and witnessed people writing over 100 pages of code just to win a contest promising a free A on the exam. I can't imagine anybody being more laid back than that. It gets even more interesting when in lab you get to share a hood with a pre-med... If I weren't ineligible for transfer, I would be so gone. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to return to another one in a series of useles 30-hour homeworks, which in no way will be helpful for the final, which I don't know if I mentioned, will be in the middle of summer.</p>
