***Stanford Class of 2020 Applicant Discussion***

statistically, it will. REA has a 10% acceptance rate while RD has a 5% acceptance rate. if stanford wants you, theyll take you though. theres probably different kinds of ppl who apply rea and rd, explaining part of the stark difference in acceptance rates.

so it comes before the 15th ?!?! how am i supposed to know what day to throw my acceptance/rejection party? lol jk. but srsly, why would they release it before?

Thank you @Xerxos and @jgeller! It’s hard not to stress when it’s your dream school haha :slight_smile: Good luck to everyone!

Ready to get rejected tomorrow

@jgeller The RD acceptance rate is actually 3.3%. It’s boosted by the EA acceptance rate for the combined rate of 5.05%.

and @Rosabella98 you’re fine. In a way, it’s actually better to apply RD if you don’t have amazing stats. You’ll comparatively stand out more amongst the rest of the pool, many of whom are throwing out their applications on a whim. So yeah, don’t stress. If Stanford sees something special in you, they’ll accept you regardless of whether you applied EA or RD.

why do people think it’ll be 3pm? the timestamps on results threads of previous years have times like 10am if I remember correctly (from a few days ago) (I’ll check again rn)

okay, class of '19 was 3pm but class of '18, '17 and '16 were 10am (I need to chill with these obsessive tendencies I’m just so god damn anxious)

@willay yeah, I was going to mention that. RD is even lower than what people think it is :X

@ih8collegeboard last year stanford admissions tweeted 2 days before announcing the day results would come out and then at 8am on the morning of said that they would be sent at 3pm. So I think best bet is just keeping up with that account

I’m coping by obsessively watching SortedFood videos and eating all the sweet stuff in my house.
Not much longer now, keep praying to the Unicorn lords for a miracle! :-SS

So many amazing students! Good luck to all the quest bridge applicants finding out later today!

On my end–dealing with inevitable failure by procrastinating with cat videos and harry potter movie marathons.

@violaqueen I was watching Goblet of Fire today. Still gives me the same feels as the first time! :S

@hellolol Lucky you! :wink: Harry Potter is one of those series I wish I could read again with fresh eyes! But something about the life and death (and love) situation makes this entire college process seem less significant, overrated and… Why am I on cc instead of dreaming about HP?

@violaqueen I know right! Whenever I think about Harry Potter, Sherlock (BBC), Digimon or The Hunger Games or any feel giving movie/tv show, I feel warm and fuzzy and all my college related worries go away (and a while later they come crashing back into my life).
Also, all the buzzfeed posts about these things have got me feeling super old XD

Good luck to all you questbridgers out there! How a piece of me wishes I can be in your shoes right now…

Good luck to everyone getting their decisions in the next few hours! Keep us posted!

Anyhow, On a lighter note, I’d assume that some of you (most of you) enjoy TV shows concerning intellectual vitality and curiosity. Any fans of Da Vinci’s Demons?

Apparently the QB results will be out a couple hours earlier this year. Best of luck to everyone getting their decisions! :smiley:

Good luck guys!!!

t-32 minutes or so… lets see if questbridge matches me.
