<p>Well, my favorite color is red. But that’s not the (only) reason I want to go to Stanford. ;)</p>
<p>By the way, applicannot, Stanford’s color scheme is cardinal red and white, not red and green. Unless I misunderstood your post, which I certainly could have. WashU is red and green, though.</p>
<p>I’ve applied to WashU too and let me tell you, great school but the red and green thing is a bit odd haha</p>
<p>I think applicannot thought it was red and green because of the tree, but it is cardinal red and white. I’m lucky in that sense because ALL of my schools thus far have had red and white color schemes, and my high school has black and gray added to that mix too. Also, all the mascots have been birds (thunderbirds, raptors, falcons… I know that stanford’s mascot isn’t a cardinal… but the color is cardinal red… just a technicality lol)… plus my favorite color is red. I believe I was destined for Stanford lol.</p>
<p>A local high school here has school colors red, white, and green… it’s like Christmas every time I go to one of their games :D</p>
<p>All my schools so far have been blue and white. Maybe I’m destined for Duke, but I also have some Stanford connections, so I hope that works out.</p>
<p>Anyone download Google Chrome for Mac that came out today? I’m using it right now.</p>
<p>SFG: Hey… duke’s a good school too… nothing compared to Stanford, of course, but not shabby. haha. </p>
<p>And how do you like google chrome?</p>
<p>Good point. I wasn’t thinking that the tree was just a part of the symbol and not actually a school color. But, it’s an unofficial color. Red and white aren’t bad - I do look good in red.</p>
<p>P.S. Google Chrome is amazing, at least coming from a relatively light (but frequent) internet user.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>I prefer Firefox… Chrome has no add-ons :(</p>
<p>So far, so good with Google Chrome (although so far is only the last 20 minutes).</p>
<p>PS, I like your “Location,” applicannot. I’m hoping mine will turn out similarly.</p>
<p>I don’t use add-ons. I just want to open my browser and see the internet. NOTHING ELSE. Clean and simple. As for sfg2014, I hope so too. I think I’ve actually gotten a benefactor to sponsor a flight out there at the end of January. So far so good, he just has to actually purchase the tickets on Friday when he gets paid. Even if he doesn’t, I do get a free trip to Admitted Student Weekend.</p>
<p>That’s awesome! I bet you’ll love it. It’s an awesome place.</p>
<p>I don’t use add-ons either, by the way.</p>
<p>Discussion and decisions threads opened!
I contacted a mod about stickying the decisions thread. All is going well.</p>
<p>I can’t believe they’re so close now.
Wouldn’t it be crazy if they decided to release decisions Friday after all? I pretty much believe it’ll be Tuesday because of their announcement, but if they came Friday… I’d be caught totally off guard. I don’t know how I’d react.</p>
<p>It would be like a very unexpected slap in the face if they’re released on Friday</p>
<p>Diglett, I don’t think it would be a very unexpected slap in the face as much as a (pardon my French) very unexpected blow job. Even if I don’t get accepted, I know I will be IMMENSELY relieved to find out.</p>
<p>Upon further review, I just want to clarify that this wasn’t some strange attempt at a double-entendre; blow job just seemed like the joyous opposite of a slap in the face.</p>
<p>ok. this issss really random, BUT IMPORTANT. i have two good commonapp essays but i can’t choose between the two. can someone read them and tell me which they think is better?</p>
<p>Hahaha aren’t you a girl? o___O
Eh I guess, but I have something this Friday and I don’t want anything to kill my spirits. I’d rather it come on Thursday xD but that’s pushing it.</p>
<p>I’ll read them (:</p>
<p>aren’t you allowed only one common app essay? Oh I see that’s why you need the choice. Sure I’ll read them too if you want.</p>
<p>Haagen Dazs Chocolate Ice Cream is delicious…just saying</p>
<p>This talk about releasing the decisions this Friday is hypothetical, right? Because I’d be caught off guard too…</p>
