<p>THANK YOU @emenya !!! Haha I remember being the first student to comment on this thread after you. You will do AMAZINGLY regular round!! keep us posted :)</p>
<p>Hey guys, new to CC here. I’ve used this board a lot as I waited to hear my REA decision. It’s really been a great resource. </p>
<p>I was deferred to the regular round, so at least I live to fight another day!</p>
<p>I have a question for those who were accepted. Did you guys get two emails in your inbox when the notification came? Ive heard that this is true from some people but I just want to confirm. I really don’t wanna open my email and be like “oh only one email I guess I didn’t get in :/”</p>
<p>Got in! From Africa! All praise be to God!
For those deferred , I wish you all the best, don’t lose hope, for those rejected, there’s a much better spot out there waiting for you to grab it 
</p>
<p>Sent my application an hour ago, was getting sick of reading and re-reading my essays. We’ll see what happens. Good luck, everyone.</p>
<p>@WhatsStanford I only got one email…</p>
<p>@emenya I have been lurking around this thread for a while, and your compassion for others and passion for Stanford is undeniable. I have no doubt you’ll get in Regular round. All the best!</p>
<p>Lol thanks @heldenleben ! I will be sure to do so! P.S the first was actually… @Encibee , who got in!!! Congratulations!!! And thank you so much for your sentiments, I honestly can’t wait to see how everything will shake outduring RD.</p>
<p>@WhatsStanford (lol at you username ) Glad that everyone here was able to help you in our own little way. Maybe you took comfort from our nervousness haha. And damn right we’re going to fight till another day. We’re not out till we’re out right?</p>
<p>Fingers crossed! 
</p>
<p>wow how am i back here. feels like i was just here six weeks ago. oh wait i was 
hey everyone let’s have some fun!! :)</p>
<p>For those of you who were deferred from REA, I’m just curious whether people have a Stanford ID or a common app ID on the top left hand corner of their defer letters? </p>
<p>Hey, guys!
I was wondering, would two miniscule grammar mistakes on my personal essay affect my chances of admission to Stanford? One of the mistake was that I wrote “in” instead of “on” in a sentence.
I’m actually really worried about this. Someone reply, please.
Thank you!</p>
<p>My d had a minor typo in her application and it didn’t keep her from getting admitted. Relax. The fate of your decision does not rest on two miniscule mistakes.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your feedback, @pacnwmomof2! I really hope so! If you don’t mind me asking, was your daughter admitted this year?</p>
<p>Guys I totally redid my common app essay. Unfortunately it’s way better than my early action one :stuck<em>out</em>tongue<em>closed</em>eyes: </p>
<p>I want to submit this updated essay but I don’t know if I can! I just feel disadvantaged in the regular round if I can’t send it.</p>
<p>Anyone know if sending in a new essay for the regular rounds is possible? I sent an email but all admin officer are out of office til the fourth.</p>
<p>@Visionary123 Nope, won’t hurt your chances at all. I know a girl who accidentally wrote “wash” instead of “wait” in the last line of her “What Matters to You” essay and she got in!</p>
<p>^^Agree. @Visionary123. Getting noticed at Stanford is more about substance than a superficial mistake…no one is perfect…let it go. Honest grammatical or spelling errors won’t determine your fate…rather, the body of work you have chosen to showcase in your “completed” application.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your respective feedbacks, @sjsprint and @gravitas2 - I really appreciate them! I’m feeling better now, because I was literally freaking out. Thank you, again! :-)</p>
<p>Hello everyone, just sent in my RD application.
Wish you all the luck!☆</p>
<p>It’s taken me more than 10 days to get over the fact that I have been flat out, holistically rejected. I’ve spent 7 years of my life doing everything that I could because Stanford has been dream since…forever and it’s come to this, huh. It sucks even more that I definitely had the ECs and the stats but I guess I’m just another one of those math olympiad-winning, 2400 Asians that eventually lost the crapshoot against the others. But oh well, I’m not good enough for Stanford and life goes on. Hopefully, I’ll get into at least one of the schools I’m passionate about.</p>
<p>For those applying to RD, good luck to y’all. Just make sure you’re either extremely diverse or extremely well-versed in your areas of interest and you’ll stand a good chance. I really should stop moping around and finish the last of my applications…</p>
