Hi, I realised there wasn’t any group for us to discuss, what with results out super soon. So I would start one. Feel free to post your stats (or any queries, or even rant if you’re nervous)along withyour state so that we can compare how we’re faring compared to other applicants. Thanks!!
IM SO UTTERLY NERVOUS
Im gonna vent. Hold up
Stanford is my dream school. I have worked so hard during highschool to get straight As. I have the perfect transcript. I dont have good test scores: 24 ACT 1130 SAT. My essays were amazing. In my personal essay I compared myself to an acorn and the law of Dharma and it was just amazing. Im so proud of it. I am also a really positive person and I dont talk about the ‘r’ word. Although I do know it could happen. This has been the most stressful school year ever just waiting in agony for results that I’ve been waiting for the past 4 years. My ENTIRE family expects me to get IN. My aunt is telling all the DOCTORS & NURSES that she works with that Im getting in. SHE MADE A BET WITH HER FRIEND THAT ID GET IN. The amount of pressure I have on me is horrendous.
BUT ANWAYS! Im positive that I’ll get in. As positive as I can be. That felt really good to let out I havent been able to say anything about this. Oops got too deep. I Pray you get in too!!
@kirsten4624 Oh my god you honestly sound like an amazing applicant really. Your essay is so intriguing and cool AND you’re academically qualified. I understand the pressure you must be under though with your family’s hopes so high but I can tell you’re gonna make 'em proud girl. I don’t think my application is anywhere close to as amazing as yours tbh.
@enic10 Hey, do you mind sharing your essays and answers to short questions on PM? I’m just trying to compare myself. Moreover, you’ve already been accepted so its not like I will plagiarise. PM me if you’re comfortable, ut will really help me a lot, thanks!!
@enic10 Wow that’s great, congratulations. You must be so relieved not to be on the edge for months. Did u end up applying to other schools after getting accepted or no?
Dang 7 figures? Thats a chill life.
Aww thank you!! Thats so sweet. I’ll dm you my personal essay if you wanna read it 
The only thing holding me back are my test scores so lets just cross our fingers.
Oh yeah I’d absolutely love to read your essays, do u wanna read mine as well, see if I even have a shot? @kirsten4624
Sure Ill read yours! Ill message you them right now
I messaged you!
Stanford is like one of those schools I applied to just for the lottery chance, anyone else doing that with a bunch of schools?
@Cookiegod tbh test score wise im doing that with alot of schools (UCLA UC Berkeley UCSB UCSC Stanford Princeton & Yale) Well theres also Babson College, but the college itself basically pressured me to apply.
@Cookiegod Hey, I’m in the same boat here, I honestly feel that my entire list is like a lottery really.SOO NERVOUS for decisions.
@Cookiegod yeah pretty much. I applied to Stanford, WashU, Carnegie Mellon, Case Western, and some safety schools. How about you guys?
@kirsten4624 if their dumb enough to not accept you, you’re gonna make some school very lucky to have you. Your drive is evident from your post.
@Sky1000 That is seriously so sweet of you to say. :’) It means alot to me thank you!! I pray you get into Stanford as well!
How much is diversity valued? Do you think Stanford likes having people from all over the world?
How about ACT scores? Essays? ECs? First in the family to attend college? What would you say is “more important” than others?
So I went to a website called Niche to calculate my chances of getting in and I only ranked 10% of the students accepted, rejected, or considering (these were users of the website). It seems I am in the “considering” range in the scatterplot provided. :-S
