<p>You can find various examples online…although, I believe a grammar book would suit you better.</p>
<p>Stanford had approximately 39,000 applicants this year. The overall admit rate is expected to be less than 6 percent and they have so many “qualified” applicants that they will reject three such applicants for every one they accept.</p>
<p>How did you find that??</p>
<p>Hot damn. 10char</p>
<p>oh geez D: I haven’t gotten any rejections yet so I’m probz gonna be crushed march 28. does anyone know when stanford is releasing yet?</p>
<p>unicameral where else have you been accepted/deferred?</p>
<p>accepted at mit, wustl, and some safer schools. deferred at uchicago EA (possibly because part of my app didn’t get there til mid december 
) then withdrew because I realized they didn’t have engineering. now just waiting on ivies and stanford… not very hopeful.</p>
<p>what about you?</p>
<p>Got into UChicago EA and a safety school EA, but that is it so far. I was deferred at my ED school.</p>
<p>I’m not very hopeful about the Ivies and/or Stanford either!</p>
<p>nice! well good luck at your ED school and stanford.</p>
<p>haha, Unicameral, Magentaturtle - not too shabby at all. </p>
<p>Isn’t the consensus that Stanford will probably come out on Friday the 29th? Or maybe I just made that up…</p>
<p>That number is more than Harvard’s. </p>
<p>Still time to withdraw my app? Lol</p>
<p>(I wonder where purmou is? Caltech decisions are out…)</p>
<p>aaah unicameral and magentaturtle! You guys have my envy lol. </p>
<p>…Now I feel ashamed just for submitting my app :(</p>
<p>39000 apps…?</p>
<p>Well, I’m screwed.</p>
<p>Congrats unicameral on WashU!</p>
<p>thanks kids <3</p>
<p>seriously i want to know what happened to purmou, the suspense is killing me</p>
<p>Congrats unicameral! It looks like we applied to a few of the same schools, I got into WashU as well 
I’m anxiously awaiting Stanford’s decision though since it’s my #1. Good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>Got into CalTech yesterday (really surprised!), and UVa (echols) early along with some safeties. I was deferred SCEA from Princeton, but Stanford is my top choice.</p>
<p>@unicameral yeah, I’m curious too… and I don’t mean it in a malicious way - like I really am curious about how his plan turned out… Purmou still seems to be around, just not here.</p>
<p>just read through this entire thread today…obviously anxious/nervous/excited to hear back from schools already! congratulations everyone on your acceptances!!!</p>
<p>@ undercover caltech with a likely letter? Congrats! </p>
<p>I got into U of Michigan and Uchic EA. Gonna have so much fun at Uchicago’s world class engineering school OTL Got deferred from MIT; only 4 days left till I get rejected. Got likely for Columbia and then Egleston scholar which really surprised me, maybe no one ever applies to Columbia for engineering. Got Regents for UC Berkeley too. </p>
<p>Man I feel like my future is going to be choosing from great schools with crap/non-existent engineering programs or living 5 minutes away from my parents and seeing my mom every day T_T Can’t say I’m not glad to get schools that want me, but I’m desperately relying on Stanford to save me D:</p>
<p>hey wendeli—</p>
<p>got egleston scholar too and same with mit and uchicago.
but I actually feel really lucky about my choices, i mean, it could’ve been much worse.
so there’s another way of looking at it? ^^</p>
