<p>Computer science is really interesting, but I think I would go crazy over compiling in college. Finding errors has got to be the worst thing in the world! </p>
<p>@imagineer10 I think we’ve been having the same dream… 
</p>
<p>I had a premonition that I won’t get in …</p>
<p>@heldenleben I play the clarinet</p>
<p>I wish I played an instrument. The closest I’ve ever come is learning the recorder in 3rd grade…</p>
<p>@theanaconda the struggle lol</p>
<p>Haha I think it was a requirement for everyone at my elementary school to play the recorder. Did anyone take the SAT today? I did. I feel… okay…</p>
<p>I did @KelMoo ! I feel good for some strange reason. The test flowed really well for me (Well I hope it did since I studied really hard since June 
) I’m really hoping I do not have to take it in November. I haven’t taken a math II… don’t even ask lol.</p>
<p>Also, the essay REALLY sucked.</p>
<p>THE ESSAY WAS HORRIBLE! I have to take subject tests in November. Ugh. </p>
<p>I play the keyboard, flute and violin. can you guys post your SATs and ECs so we could evaluate our chances.</p>
<p>I wonder why this board is so dry nowadays . . Nobody ever posts anything anymore.</p>
<p>SCEA.
Israeli, jewish, first generation.
Strong EC’s, strong essays, strong GPA, and probably strong SAT (october).
Didn’t read the rec’s, but most likely they were amazing.
Applying for financial aid.
Official data is acceptance rate of ~0.2% for intl’s.
Could have had a big advantage at #2 and #3 with REA/ED (Yale and UPenn), but I don’t intend to start compromising now.
Good luck guys, hopefully we would all meet on campus.</p>

<p>I hope we all meet on campus too!!</p>
<p>I hope we all do</p>
<p>just submitted!!</p>
<p>For those of you applying Early and who took the SAT or SAT II in October, are you just waiting until Oct. 28 to apply? Or are you applying before your scores are released and just having college board send your scores? Also, does anyone know if they will view your application (like essays, letters of rec, grades, etc) before they receieve your test scores and official transcripts? Thanks!</p>
<p>Way too go @heldenleben ! Now the wait begins.</p>
<p>@Sabrina2372 , I’m submitting my near the end of October, but not because of the score wait (which is really killing me by the way). I’m not sure about your last question. Maybe ask some of the grads or other members who are on the Stanford Forum…if they are still even active.</p>
<p>Turned in my Stanford application today! Wow, I immediately felt rejected.Haha</p>
<p>@KelMoo @heldenben did either of you take the October SAT by any chance? Do you know if we can submit it without those scores in our application? Also congrats, best of luck!</p>
<p>@Sabrina2372 I took the SAT and yes, I think it’ll be fine. Thanks! I wish everyone luck! Can I just say how much I appreciate the supportive vibe on this thread? Like so many people on here are condescending and straight up rude. Lol I really appreciate it. </p>
<p>@KelMoo if I had it my way we would all get into Stanford! haha I know it’s a cutthroat process, but it’s going to be cutthroat all through college and grad school so for now I just want to encourage all of my equally qualified peers Basically, I really love the positive, too! haha but okay, I guess I’m submitting mine tomorrow then, YIKES! :o</p>
<p>Yeah for positive feels all around!! You all are making me seem like a chump lol. But anyway the plan is to have everything turned in by the 28th, if I make it as a Questbridge finalist. If I don’t, then I’m hightailing it to the January 3rd deadline. I sincerely hope all of you get in!</p>
