@afamelas I’m worried because a reader said that my roommate essay might be considered off topic. I don’t mean to make my writing extra convoluted, I really do write that way
How are the rest of the EA applicants holding up? These days have been pretty long but we’re 60% there!
Dont even ask @JPinkman , The wait is exhausting.
I’m nervous, but at the same time, I’m not too stressed because it’s stanford. And i won’t be surprised if i don’t get in. but I will be super happy if i do, so, i’m trying to not think about it a lot
I’m nervous, but I’ve developed patience. Although I’m expecting a rejection, I’ve read a couple rejection letters to calm myself.
The worst is that the result will come out in the middle of my examinations. No idea how I’ll cope with the 4 exams after. 
I just want some closure. Deferral sounds terrible 
Months more of waiting…
@JPinkman Me too! I’d rather know for sure than wait even more.
I know it’s very difficult, but not thinking about it is the best way to deal with the anxiety. Remember, everything’s out of your control now. You should be proud of what you’ve done, even if Admissions doesn’t recognize that.
@potatoheadhala I’m sure Admissions recognizes what we do but they just can’t take everyone
Ahh! I thought that the anxiety about finding out would lessen as time progressed but boy was I wrong! I find myself thinking about it more and more every day. :-SS
I really wish I didn’t revisit my application. I cringed reading every single one of my essays, and I’m sure the AdComs will too
I ended up rewriting practically every single one of my essays the weekend the app was due because I have second doubts. I like the topics a lot better, but rereading them reminded me how crappy my flow and grammar is last-minute
Already bracing myself for the rejection
Do decisions come out by email?
@idkschool Yup!
@JPinkman
That’s not what I meant, but it is difficult to weigh achievements from different fields against each other, right? Only one person knows how much effort you’ve put, and that’s you. When I said recognition, I meant valuing certain achievements over others, in ways that might seem unfair or vague. I don’t blame Admissions at all, it’s just that people are so diverse and multi-talented, that some aspects just have to be prioritized.
Does anyone know what time admissions decisions tend to come out around? And is it actually the 15th? I’ve heard people say the 11th or 10th is when they actually come out (the friday before)
@jetynz If Stanford is sticking to their usual time frame, then we should expect to hear back on the 11th around 3 PM PST
just joined college confidential after about a year of reading forums so hey! I applied Stanford REA and freaking out and glad I’m not alone. I also figured out the Friday-before-the-15th trend and happy that I can have that weekend to work on other schools’ supps if I don’t get in because too much to write and too little time (as we probably all do). anyway, congrats those of you who submitted and I’ll probably be on this forum a lot! 
It’ll also be nice to have the weekend to process whatever decision, because that next week is finals well, so it will, be better timing. @ih8collegeboard
Is it advisable to title the essays?
