Stanford Class of 2017 RD Discussion

<p>Do you guys think it would be appropriate to email colleges (including Stanford) application updates, even if you haven’t gotten a decision yet?
I’m a bit worried, because for teacher recommendations I asked my Physics teacher and my English/Debate teacher, and I think my Debate teacher only wrote down “Debate” as the subject they taught me in. Debate isn’t exactly your typical core class…Will that count against me? Anyway, guess it’s a bit late to be stressing…sorry!</p>

<p>^You’ll be fine. And I wouldn’t send an update unless it’s super major, I’m not sending one for NMF or a couple other things.</p>

<p>I’m really sorry if this has already been asked on here…it probably has…but does anybody know when decisions come out? Or are we just assuming it’s April 1? Thanks!</p>

<p>Safe to assume it’s 1 April. Good luck all</p>

<p>Hows everyone doing? Purmou, are you still around? I’m pulling for you, the risk level of your strategy is cray but what’s life without a little risk?</p>

<p>I’m doing well. You, uni? </p>

<p>I wonder where purmou is…</p>

<p>I’m doing well also. It’s been a hectic 2 months or so.</p>

<p>How’re you doing, unicameral2013?</p>

<p>I’m chillin. Got marking period grades the other day… Every class is withing 2 points of a 90. And not always on the good side. :stuck_out_tongue: Second semester senior year <3</p>

<p>****tttttt i can’t believe it’s been 2 months since apps went in!</p>

<p>And less than a month until decisions come out!</p>

<p>I’ve been waiting since November 1st, though. Four months down, one to go.</p>

<p>-Admission Decision Forecast for all you guys-</p>

<p>Cloudy with a chance of REJECTED!! XP</p>

<p>JK, Best of luck to everyone who applied RD.</p>

<p>So, I’m trying to formulate my future reaction to the (most likely, honestly) rejection letter. Shall I be chill and accepting about it? Take a comforting but slightly sour-grape-y “their loss” attitude about it? Attempt to wrest some semblance of a life lesson out of the experience?</p>

<p>Oh gawd I just don’t want to be bitter and mopey about something that’s so unlikely to happen anyway but still. Siggggghhhhh.</p>

<p>^ha, I know what you mean. Though, I’m 100% sure that there will be tears either way.</p>

<p>either way I’ll be alright… My personal goal is to get 2 acceptances in the next month hah. Waiting on HYPS Cornell and wustl so we’ll see. But either way I can’t wait til this is over!</p>

<p>This is sort of a horrendous process…</p>

<p>I was way too immersed in the REA thread for Stanford this year…</p>

<p>I quit CC cold-turkey over two months ago…and now I’m back.</p>

<p>And since I was deferred, it looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time on this thread. haha</p>

<p>Anyone know how many applications they received for RD this year?</p>

<p>1 million…awk</p>

<p>^no. 10char</p>

<p>ha, sassyy</p>

<p>Do anyone that got accepted have any sample essays for me to read through?</p>
