<p>Pink sparkles and everything!
Haha, not really. But yeah, I’m a girl.</p>
<p>I’m of mostly Germanic descent. Germany, Bavaria, Prussia, that kind of thing. We actually had sauerkraut and sausages last Thanksgiving, but usually it’s just turkey.</p>
<p>As I was getting ready to go to my grammy’s house for Turkey day, I thought, I’ll check cc to see if anyone posted anything…</p>
<p>…4 pages?!! damn! </p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Turkey day!
& I’m a girl.</p>
<p>Torcher, what gender are you representing?</p>
<p>I thought Prussia was a girl. I think it’s fairly easy to tell based on how we talk. Maybe girls are just better at spotting girls. :]</p>
<p>I think the count is 4 girls/4 guys.</p>
<p>I just want to say that I can’t wait to see who gets accepted and who doesn’t, but I’m going to be sad to hear that any of you don’t get accepted.</p>
<p>It’s really weird to think that some of us will get accepted and some of us won’t. Especially since this is a fairly small group of people compared to the overall pool. It’s kind of depressing actually.</p>
<p>I agree with anon, it will be sad for some of us (or, more realistically, most)</p>
<p>I represent the male gender. I guess guys (or just me) are not good at spotting anything ;).</p>
<p>I remember Prussia saying she was a girl earlier in the thread. But if not for that I wouldn’t have been able to tell. Maybe that is because I’m a guy.</p>
<p>Statistically I’m sure someone will, yet I doubt all of us will get accepted (that would be sweet though). Then again perhaps we are so lucky that the kids who have posted here happen to all be from that sample of 25% or so kids that will get accepted. Wonder what is the probability of that happening? Actually there might be a good chance we all get accepted since I am assuming all our non subjective stats (like test scores and GPA) are in the high range so it’s not completely unlikely. Sorry I’ll stop posting I think I’m talking (typing) too much. Sorry!</p>
<p>Haha, well, I am almost six foot tall… Maybe I’m just too manry.
Hahaw just kidding. (Well, I am that tall, but…)</p>
<p>I wish we would all get accepted. Statistical outliers foreva!</p>
<p>sfg2014, I didn’t want to say it so I’m glad you did. I agree. Sorry to be a downer, but from this pool, only like 10 of us are going to accepted. Which is so weird to think, especially since I feel like we’ve gotten close.</p>
<p>It’s realistic though. Sad. :[</p>
<p>I’m a guy and I am white and Native American. Okie Pride!!!</p>
<p>Prussia, I just want you to know that you did not strike me as manly :]</p>
<p>Oh, I’ve asked this before, but no one could remember:
Anyone know the CC SCEA acceptance rate from Class of 2013?</p>
<p>I think there are 6 guys and 4 girls now.</p>
<p>Yeah Prussia, I thought you were a girl too, and you don’t strike me as manly. I bet you’re beautiful, on the inside and outside.</p>
<p>I was just kidding, don’t worry! I am totally secure in my girlhood. Haha.</p>
<p>I’m gonna have to go soon, as we’re heading off to grandma’s for dinner.
Just sayin’, cause I don’t know when I’ll be back.
(Not that it matters much, haha.)</p>
<p>I think the SCEA acceptance rate last year was around 27%. Well I got to go. Nice talking to you guys!</p>
<p>Can anyone post the rejection letters? From last year or previous years?</p>
<p>And I got to go too, looking for the Cowboys to put some major hurt on the Raiders.</p>
<p>Rejection:</p>
<p>Dear XXX,</p>
<p>It is with regret that I write to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the freshman class at Stanford University. Please know that this decision does not reflect any deficiency or weakness in your application. To the contrary, we are humbled by your talents and achievements and of all those who applied for admission this year.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the large number of applicants for a relatively small incoming class means that we must disappoint the vast majority of very well-qualified candidates each year. Our decision is a reflection of that competition for admission and in no way should detract from the very impressive credentials you presented. We appreciate the effort and care that went into your application and I want to assure you that your candidacy received thorough and serious consideration. As a result, we are not able to consider appeals to this decision. To find some answers to the most commonly asked questions about our admission process, click here; I hope these will address any questions you may have about our decision.</p>
<p>I know this is disappointing news to receive and for that reason we will not send a duplicate notification of this decision by mail, unless you request one from us. If you wish to request a copy of this letter by mail, you may do so here, and one will be sent immediately.</p>
<p>XXX, you are a fine student with solid support from your teachers and advisors and I am confident that you will enjoy great success in your undergraduate education. I only wish we had room for everyone with qualities and accomplishments like yours.</p>
<p>With best wishes for an outstanding undergraduate experience,</p>
<p>Richard H. Shaw
Dean of Admission and Financial Aid </p>
<p>Acceptance:</p>
<p>Dear XXX,</p>
<p>Congratulations! On behalf of the Office of Undergraduate Admission, it is my pleasure to offer you admission to Stanford’s Class of 2013.</p>
<p>You have every reason to be proud of your accomplishments, and we are honored to invite you to join the Stanford community. Since our founding in 1891, Stanford has been defined by students and faculty who endeavor to push the limits of knowledge, and who share a commitment to extending that spirit of exploration and excellence beyond campus. This is a community of scholars dedicated to what Jane Stanford, co-founder of Stanford University, called “the cultivation and enlargement of the mind.” Your application clearly demonstrated that you have the intellectual energy, imagination and talent to flourish in this environment.</p>
<p>The materials in your admit packet (forthcoming by mail) are designed to assist you with the enrollment response process and to provide important information for you and your family as you consider your enrollment options. Whatever decision you make, please know that you have until May 1, 2009, to confirm your choice.</p>
<p>Over the next few months we will continue to send you additional information about Stanford and Admit Weekend, a three-day program scheduled for April 23-25, 2009. You also are invited to visit a preliminary version of our admitted student website, <a href=“http://admit.stanford.edu%5B/url%5D”>http://admit.stanford.edu</a>, developed in conjunction with Stanford students just for you. More features will be available on this website in the coming months. Should you want to contact us for any reason, please do not hesitate to call our office at (650) 723-2091 or email us at a special email address specifically for admitted students: <a href=“mailto:admit@stanford.edu”>admit@stanford.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Please note that your admission is contingent upon continued strong academic performance in the program of courses you presented to us in your application. If you consider altering the courses you will pursue for the rest of the year, please contact us before finalizing any changes.</p>
<p>XXX, we are all confident in the unique and extraordinary contributions you will make to our community. We once again extend our congratulations on your admission to Stanford University and look forward to welcoming you to our family!</p>
<p>I’d post the deferral, but mum’s calling for us to go now. Bye guys, have a great Thanksgiving!</p>
<p>27% sounds a little too good to be true. </p>
<p>According to Stanford’s website, 689 of 5363 early applicants were admitted to the Class of 2013. That’s about 12.8%.</p>
<p>DEFFERAL:</p>
<p>Dear XXXXXX, </p>
<p>After thorough evaluation of your candidacy, we have chosen to defer your application for further consideration in our Regular Decision process. We greatly appreciate the thought and effort that you put into your application and acknowledge your strong interest in Stanford University. You are among a small group whose applications will be re-evaluated during Regular Decision. Notification of final decisions will be sent in early April 2009.</p>
<p>The reasons for deferring a final decision vary, but in many cases we want to see first semester, senior-year grades or want to have the opportunity to review a candidate in the context of the entire applicant pool. It is nearly impossible for us to predict the chances of gaining admission; however, in each of the past three years, approximately ten percent of deferred candidates have subsequently been admitted during the Regular Decision process. While we hope your interest in Stanford continues, we advise you to pursue other college alternatives as well.</p>
<p>Between now and April, we recommend that you continue to strive for the highest level of academic attainment and keep us up-to-date on your progress. Please ask your school to submit the Mid-Year School Report (which can be accessed from the Common Application website) and updated transcript to our office as soon as your first-term grades are available. We also invite you to submit an electronic Optional Update Form (located here) to keep us apprised of any of your new activities, achievements, or new test scores that you may have received. We ask, however, that you refrain from submitting additional recommendation letters. Be sure to include your Stanford ID number (located at the top of this letter) on any correspondence that you have with our office. </p>
<p>With best wishes,</p>
<p>Richard H. Shaw
Dean of Admission and Financial Aid</p>
<p>So basically we can cover the whole email up and if it doesn’t start with a “C”, well, …</p>
