<p>Also, could you add some page breaks to the decisions info? Oh the pain.</p>
<p>I only need 23 more posts</p>
<p>I always do well in interviews, I wish we had an interview for Stanford.</p>
<p>what’s wrong applicannot?</p>
<p>PS: I’ve done well in interviews before, but this is my first college interview</p>
<p>Oh, thanks Nitro!
I agree.
Here’s an updated format:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thoughts, anyone?</p>
<p>Edit: Haha, applicannot, I read your mind. Added them in already.</p>
<p>just stay calm, look the interviewer in the eye, have good manners, and don’t say like or um. Those are my rules to live by haha.</p>
<p>is there anyone else who dreads being deferred more than being rejected? Because if I get rejected then I will get over Stanford and get psyched about what ever other school I want to go to. But if I get deferred then I will have just enough hope that I will get in in April and cling to that for 4 more months. I don’t want to wait four more months!</p>
<p>Hey guys, just posting to say that we broke the 200 hour mark today!</p>
<p>Only 191 to go! WOOT. I don’t think I have ever been so excited, not even as a kid before Christmas Eve, only this time I don’t know if there are gonna be presents under the tree or not…Oh well. I’m hoping for the best.</p>
<p>I am feeling confident today because I received my “Stanford sign” yesterday.
I live in Oklahoma and I have been a life long Sooners fan, but since they kept losing I gave up my sooner pride and I said I would root against them if they go to a bowl (at least until they start winning again or stoops is fired) and then I found out that OU is playing Stanford in the sun bowl, so I guess I’m rooting for Stanford.</p>
<p>mfederman: u mean deferred?</p>
<p>^mfederman, I got that a couple weeks ago.</p>
<p>For a couple years, I have been sleeping under a Stanford banner, and one morning I woke up, and it had fallen onto me. I guess that qualifies as a “Stanford Sign” :)</p>
<p>yes, 10 char</p>
<p>I feel similarly about deferral, but I try not to think about it.</p>
<p>Thanks, NJDS, I just fixed that in the format. It still said “waitlisted.”
You seem to set me straight on a lot of things, hahaha.</p>
<p>my 400th post :D</p>
<p>Looks good Prussia!</p>
<p>but mabye the scale should be clarified as, 10 being highest, 1 lowest or vice versa?</p>
<p>should be fine with out, but just in case?</p>
<p>i know that would pose some formatting issues so possibly list it like:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>as you have it is probably more clear that they should be rated, kids who have read the decisions thread might just assume the template is the same in that regard and not rate on a scale but this way is explicit that 10 is highest and more concise (no giant parens statement before each field).</p>
<p>I almost prefer your way though because of the clarity howevever i figured i’d throwing this out there just because…</p>
<p>:)
always here to help
(hopefully not in an arrogant kinda way)</p>
<p>who was it who said they knew people who had Obama write their rec letter?</p>
<p>^for serious? haha omg</p>
<p>I mean they do explicitly say that they don’t want recs from famous people if said person doesn’t know anything that would constructively contribute to the application process.</p>
<p>but the fact that someone is that well connected… damn…</p>
<p>i knew a guy who got the commander of NATO to write him one. he applied early to uchicago but hasn’t heard yet.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was concerned about that, but couldn’t decide whether to sacrifice clarity for cleanliness or not.</p>
<p>How’s something like this?
</p>
<p>I can’t help but wonder how a rec from Obama would be handled in the admissions office, hahaha…</p>
