<p>Ack! I hope I didn’t offend anyone, gapyearstudent in particular, with my vagueness. To be clear: I wasn’t trying to insinuate that “the gays” all have high-pitched voices/pee sitting down. I was only attempting to emphasize the incorrectness of those stereotypes. I actually am gay. :P</p>
<p>As for Twilight: I read the first book, because my sister and my mother insisted that I do so before seeing the movie. I thought it was terrible. It gives young, impressionable women all the wrong ideas about love and relationships, not to mention the fact that the characters are totally wooden, the story is completely ridiculous, and the stupid abstinence metaphor is blatant and obnoxious. I’m honestly somewhat frightened to see what happens to the generation of females raised on this garbage…</p>
<p>BTW has college guy 2014 submitted recently, he started this thread but I don’t seem him around lol.</p>
<p>PS: And Snowy, why is your name snowy? Same with Torcher actually why did everyone pick the usernames they did. I picked Diivio because the nick name of my first name is Diiv (shortened from of my actual first name Diivanand) and fused it with Mario.</p>
<p>PPS: Shoot hopefully Stanford admins don’t go on this site because i might be the only applicant with that first name lol. I don’t think I’ve said anything that would get me rejected though. Have I? lol</p>
<p>i was on my computer waiting (presumably for the decision) and i saw the little “new email” box pop up and it was from “Stanford Admissions,” i knew that this was it and so i went into my inbox and opened it. It looked like one of those decisions posts with the giant colord heading. Mine said Decision: Deferred. And now i realize why you dont want to get deferred. While still in the dream i had mixed feelings about it, i was stoked that i was deferred, and considered that strong of an applicant but i realized how much it sucks to have to wait for everything to be over again, espically because i knew i probably wouldnt be accepted after that.</p>
<p>it all felt so real, like i really was convinced that i was deferred</p>
<p>I picked Torcher because I’m a pyromaniac (well, sort of). Some people thought I had misspelled torture, but I hadn’t even thought about that word when I made the account. So now I guess I can make a pun and say “I am being Torchered by waiting for decisions”</p>
<p>How many people were accepted/ deferred/ denied last year from rea? And how many people applied rea? I’m sure these stats have been on this thread 1000 times already. Beat yale!</p>
<p>I actually love the Twilight books, but I agree with whoever said this - the movies SUCK. New Moon was marginally better than Twilight, but still…</p>
