Stanford Fall 2017 Transfer

@Jbevarts Oh, hey! I graduated from a CC in Seattle too!

@incogneato Hey! What CC? Where did you end up?

@Jbevarts North! What about you? I’ve been in LA for a bit now. I’m assuming you’re still in Seattle? I miss it so!

@eel314 What are you looking for in start-ups? I come from Y-combinator. Also applied for transfer.

@Jbevarts Sorry to hear all about that. Cal is an outstanding school, better than every other public school in the world (I’d argue). The city of Berkeley, California isn’t great. I live two hours from there and go to Berkeley about once a month. The city is overpopulated, filled with crime, not particularly nice at all, overpriced, and just not enjoyable to be in. The UC Berkeley campus doesn’t feel that way but, unless you can get housing above campus moderately close to Haas School of Business and Memorial Stadium, you will have to experience the city of Berkeley. Anyways, congrats on getting accepted there!!

@incogneato Bellevue! Go hawks! Still cool as ever up here, definitely leaving a great city.

@Jesus0512 I’m going to build a cancer biomarker testing product this year. Hope to build it @ Stanford but if not hopefully somewhere else. What do you do at YC?

I got rejected from UCLA and GWU, so to me, definitely “no” for Stanford.

Man…seriously I have passion, but since my school does not provide any engineering programs, I don’t know what to do… My dad does not understand when I told him that I want to transfer to another Cal State for engineering. I have no choice…

You guys think Stanford’s still making decisions this week?

@Wannabeibanker I’m thinking that they’re either going to be released this Friday or next. I think that they released them the Friday before they said they’d release them last year, so

@lexluther96 @Wannabeibanker The trend over the last few years shows early decision release in comparison to posted release date. I am optimistic about this Friday.

@lexluther96 @Jbevarts I bet they’re probably gonna release decisions this Friday. But, what was I wondering about was if they’re making last minute decisions this week cuz there was a copy/paste error (my intro became my conclusion and vice versa) on one of my supplemental essay. I just noticed it like 4 days ago and I sent em my original essay. Hopefully, they look at my app again. Most likely, they’ll just ignore the email.

Has anyone else called and asked? I was told not this Friday but idk if the person I spoke to actually knew.

@bobthebuilder42 last year when I got rejected, it was a week before they were supposed to come out. So, like the Friday before

Someone should call admissions to ask when they’re going to release them… :slight_smile:

@lexluther96 Someone like you? :slight_smile:

I was accepted to USC today! I was also accepted back in February to University of Michigan (I put an enrollment deposit down on Monday because that was the deadline and they were the only school I had been accepted to at the time and with a very good financial aid package). The only school that I am waiting to hear back from now is Stanford! I wish us all luck!:slight_smile:

@cassidylynnn Wow so lucky you!! Congratulations! I thought USC would release the decisions on May 31st. For me, it does not sound good because I think I will get a rejection letter from USC as well as I was rejected from UCLA and GWU…sigh

Hey@L’arc~En~Ciel, It sounds like you’re having a super rough time. :frowning: I’m sorry dude, nothing hurts more than wanting something so badly and then getting rejected.

From my experience, once you get your first job, the school you go to doesn’t matter. I wish you the best of luck, whatever you get into. :slight_smile:

@pinkcloudsonmars exactly!
