<p>Thanks Guys & Gals ; I LOVE STANFORD!</p>

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I am wondering who you had for your interviewer. I am also from new york and have mine this friday. Any chance a woman named jenny moon interviewed you?</p>

<p>Hey NeuroChick, </p>

<p>I live in Westchester (outside of New York City) so my interviewer was different than yours. Good luck though, do you happen to go to one of the following schools:
Dalton, Fieldston, Horace Mann, Riverdale, Collegiate, or Brearly?</p>

<p>I think we can assume that NeuroChick is a chick and does not attend an all-boys school.</p>

<p>what did you do using your singing talent? whats your class rank?</p>

<p>Thank you siliconvalleymom for that astute observation. I just asked because I go to collegiate...</p>

<p>y0itzr0, my school does not provide class rank. I'm not so sure I understand your first question, but I spent five years singing at the Metropolitan Opera (Lincoln Center), and then spent the remainder of my high school as the head of my school chorus and a capella.</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments, I am still awaiting a chance!</p>

<p>I go to Spence. weird you didn't mention Spence in your line-up. Should we Spencies be offended? lol :)</p>

<p>Siliconvalleymom: his question wasn't weird--dalton, horace mann, fieldston, riverdale are all co-ed schools and brearly is an all-girls school. the only weird one was collegiate (an all-boys school as you prob know.)</p>

<p>ProjectStanford: your school has SUCH an amazing college acceptance track record; its intimidating. </p>

<p>also, what class do/did you take at Columbia? I took a science of Psychology course there this summer, any chance you took that course? it was AMAZING!! I def recommend it if your into that sort of thing--it was more neuro anyway, which is the stuff i am into.</p>

<p>"Essays:
Incredibly Unique/Insightful"</p>

<p>hahaha
points for modesty?</p>

<p>I apologize AmericanKid, I didn't mean to toot my own horn, but I honestly think that my essays are the strong point of my application. Anyhow, as I should have learned from previous posts, these chance threads ultimately all devolve into forums for railing me. </p>

<p>NeuroChick, Spence is also a GREAT school, I just forgot to write it down. As for my courses at Columbia, I am taking an advanced topics in sociology class with Dr. Bearman and will begin a Calculus 3 class second semester (I don't particularly like math, I just signed up for the course for the credits and because I placed out of math at my school). Also, I will look into the pysch course, it sounds very interesting (perhaps its offered second semester).</p>

<p>I mean, you're hispanic (at least kinda) so affirmative action is going to work in your favor
that is if you put hispanic on your application and not mixed!</p>

<p>Absolutely not true, a mixed race/ethnicity URM is still considered a URM.</p>
