<p>Here we are :D</p>
<p>I don't think another thread like this exists yet, at least not for the RD applicants.</p>
<p>let's go Cardinals !</p>
<p>Cardinal*</p>
<p>The mascot isn’t a bird.</p>
<p>Oh I am so glad this thread is here! I need a place to vent my excitement (or languish) for admissions in march:)</p>
<p>Well, realistically, most of us will be facing rejections!</p>
<p>Can’t believe it is still 3 months away!</p>
<p>I haven’t submitted my app yet, haha :o</p>
<p>I just submitted mine a day or two ago.</p>
<p>Never mind. Just submitted it. ^_^</p>
<p><em>party time</em></p>
<p>About to submit. Just need to refine my essays. It’s nerve wracking :X</p>
<p>Are we at a disadvantage for submitting our app last minute?</p>
<p>I still need to do those three short essay things.
I’ll submit Sunday. Meh. I’ll most likely get rejected, but that’s okay.</p>
<p>You never know alexissss, I’ve heard of the most random people who get into Stanford. 
I just hope Stanford can see the potential I really have, but my crap essays aren’t helping.</p>
<p>What’s wrong with your essays? T_T</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m hoping any of my colleges can see past my test scores. I’m not stupid. Promise. LOL</p>
<p>I’m applying here! :D</p>
<p>Sophomore but graduating this year. Strong ACT, GPA, and extracurriculars, but two weak SAT Subject Tests (like beyond weak). But since they’re optional, I hope it won’t defeat my shots. I feel I’m a solid candidate. But we’ll see where I stand come March.</p>
<p>I’m very fond of my essays. :P</p>
<p>purwou, you don’t have to send your Subject Tests if you don’t want to… if it will hurt your application then you shouldn’t.</p>
<p>Oh and my essays aren’t terrible, they just don’t portray myself very well.</p>
<p>Too late for that, the scores were sent before I had the chance to view them. =/</p>
<p>I feel fine about it though. It’s the truth–I sometimes don’t test well. But I make up for that with my great grades in math and science classes and my other test scores. So it’s all good. :)</p>
<p>thats good! I feel the same way… my test doesn’t show it but my grades do… </p>
<p>did you send in your application yet? I am too worried that I messed up on something or that I should edit my essays one last time, so I never hit the “submit” button :/</p>
<p>I’m waiting for a response from somebody I know on one of my essays, then I’ll submit. Hopefully tomorrow. I’ll have all my letters of rec in by the 7th. :)</p>
<p>I hope my first semester senior grades aren’t that big of a deal…</p>
<p>Somewhat of a downward trend, in one class I went from a B+ to a B.</p>
<p>For all those who are wondering, yes that other thread was about me, shh!</p>
<p>Do you guys think it’s that big of a deal? I know it certainly doesn’t help, but it’s not a deal breaker right?</p>
<p>Yeah, I was kinda upset that scores were sent out before I got to see them. They make me look like a slacker. </p>
<p>@magnet
Know it shouldn’t be a deal breaker! Some kids get in with As and Bs, some get rejected with 4.0s. It all depends. </p>
<p>I think that’s what stresses me most. I can’t predict my chances accurately. :</p>
<p>@tara
Ohhh, I see. I can only hope my essays convey my personality well!</p>
