<p>I am confused.
I thought that the bulletin S posted is for people that have been trying to hack the system. “efforts on the part of a few candidates to compromise the system, which we are able to detect.”
Am I wrong?
If not, I don’t understand what we are upset about.</p>
<p>I think that you were just warned… i think u did get in tho. still man goooood job.
I even asked about the musical supplement because i was like a national champ since I was 6 and started at 3 in piano. But yeah. Hm. I didn’t send anything because i dont have a piano anymore. what was I supposed to send? THAT WINE GLASS ISH!!! THAT IS WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND!!! ugh. 3 more chapters to go…</p>
<p>you’re wrong and don’t worry about it</p>
<p>Just wait until friday to find out your acceptance…</p>
<p>Don’t do anything else before then.</p>
<p>Best wishes to you, JGee, as you complete your finals. As for me, I honestly cannot think about anything else. I’m supposed to wake up early, but I can’t sleep.</p>
<p>Everyone chill out. We have been warned and i think as long as none of us try to attempt to find out, we should be safe. Those who got into the system, im sure you guys still got accepted.</p>
<p>Zutopia, apparently, trying to put in our 8-digit Stanford ID into the SUNet system is not allowed. However, I had no idea before that notice. If I did, I definitely would not have done it. </p>
<p>I believe the notice applies to anybody who put in their 8-digit ID whether they are recognized or not. Doing so counts as an “attempt.” </p>
<p>I wonder if they will consider revoking the admission offers of freshman applicants as well (many admitted they did it) as well as that of current Stanford students who tried it in previous years.</p>
<p>I AM SO SORRY I EVER DID THIS. FUTURE APPLICANTS: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.</p>
<p>oh hoho. finals are in 5 weeks. I am confusing all my admissions officers. hohoho. i said hoho my spring semester ends June 12, 2 weeks ago they were like ***? you are JUST taking midterms now? im like hohoho yes. hoho so i have no mid term grades, or rather ANY grades whatsoever for you. hohoho. they are like you are bsing me, i am calling your teachers. they all told the schools Sorry for the system, but yeah i havent given out one assignment yet. ho ho.</p>
<p>i second floatus. this is wonderful. more room for the rest of us who followed the rules like good little children.</p>
<p>wow, i missed alot while at school… </p>
<p>jgee… no, it’s not “a cardinal”, it’s “the cardinal”, as in the color red. no birdies over there! just crimson, or, der… cardinal, as it were. :)</p>
<p>did u watch the wine glass ish? its amazing. he should go to stanford. hoho.and the guy who spent those hours tuning the glasses with an eyedropper. THAT guy should go to stanford. or the guy who sat there recording that ish for all those hours. He must have patience of a…whatever has a lot of patience… HE should go to stanford!!
ok i am so sorry for the annoyingness. im so bored of this middle east subject im studying.</p>
<p>i’m about to watch the wine glasses fella… </p>
<p>and about community college, i hate to say, but i have had a horrible experience. every now and then i get a great teacher that actually makes the class WORK for their grade, but in the mean time, i’ve had teachers that were supposed to teach spanish, but yet gave a dissertation on why american’s were stupid and spoiled (every day), and an english teacher that didn’t feel like teaching, just let the class talk about whatever for 3 hours, and an anthropology teacher that gave ten question true false tests… i mean, really. </p>
<p>as an older student, i’ve been appalled by the lack of rigor in community college. thankfully, i’ve learned how to work in a ten year sales career, but those teachers aren’t doing anything but setting up their students to fail in 4-year institutions. i know some do very well after cc, but i can imagine lots of kids are shell shocked when they enter a more challenging campus and have, oh my, term papers to write.</p>
<p>alas… only makes me want to be a cc teacher someday.</p>
<p>ilivefree is a wonderful testament to the good that can happen at community college. any 4 year institution would be lucky to have you and your experiences.</p>
<p>okay, re: wineglass guy…</p>
<p>forget swan lake, WATCH THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRIES!!! wow…</p>
<p>thanks, so.cal. 
i am a good sales rep, that’s for sure. </p>
<p>can’t wait to make that kind of money again… being a student is rough!</p>
<p>hey how is your cal appeal going? i hope u get it. isnt sacramento far far away from the bay area? like if you had to commute tho? how close are you gonna stay to there for your wifey’s business?</p>
<p>I am transferring from a CC to UCB and I am gonna go outperform everyone in my classes at that school (unless Stanford accepts me, then I will do it there). The point is that I learned just as much from my CC as I would have from any Ivy league; education is what you make it. Screw any one who tries to say otherwise.</p>
<p>jinx! i just talked about it on the other forum. still waiting. they received it last week. i sent in my SAT scores, my grades to date in anthro and philo classes, and gave an argument that my wife just started a business and money’s tight, so i really can’t travel to college nor commute. </p>
<p>we’ll see. not holding my breath. going to davis if no cal, stanford or, eh hem, the y word.</p>
<p>davis isn’t quite in sac, it’s on the way. it’s about 50 miles; aka 40 minutes the way i drive. i would have to commute, but it would be fine. when i lived in georgia, it took me more than an hour to get to work each day, and 1.5 hours to get home. 40 minutes is nothing. we’re gonna stay in our home. it’s a rental in albany and a dang great deal, so i don’t want to lose it. plus with the dog and cat and bunnies, well, we’d be hard pressed to find some where better. :)</p>
<p>all is well in the end! either way, i think i win! where is your first choice?</p>
<p>pacers, would you like to sit in in my english class sometime? i beg to differ. true i believe i will do just fine, but i feel some of the teachers i’ve had are not doing their jobs very well.</p>
<p>I agree some CCs are absolutely terrible but some are very good and ultimately you can learn everything from a class where you might otherwise learn nothing, just from effort. Also, depending on what level your english class may be your teacher may expect students to know certain things from high school (in other words they may not even consider teaching it). In other situations teachers are not good at what they do, but that can be at any school, it is not specific to CCs.</p>
<p>i had an ugly poli sci class this term where the teacher stuffed words into my mouth.She kept calling me chang too. hehe. You should make a cool video of your playing wine glasses. no just jokes. </p>
<p>IM hard pressed on my realistic first choice since financees are a BIG issue and I do have a husband. of course furd would be ideal. Ideal suburb, ideal location for hubby who is in IT, ideal price range, of course ideal education (oddly enough they have an ENglish major with a emphasis on political science… that is so uniquely me), and they give major financial aid and the area (with hubby’s assumed salary) is affordable if stanford helps a little to take care of my portion. But yeah beyond that dream. </p>
<p>Wellesley wouldve been perfect, free tuition, but the area my gawd…can we say expensive? either you are in the slums or you are paying 1600/mo for a studio or a 1br in the basement with no windows and pipes running thru your ceiling. that is no reasonable since wellesley isnt helping with living expenses =(.
I am working my ass off M, W, F, Sat, Sun tho to save up so hopefully it wont be a problem if I do choose Wellesley because u just cant work to earn a living and go to wellesley full time. </p>
<p>Berkeley is giving mega bucks. free tuition enough to pay rent for the two of us to live a block away from the campus entrance off of shattuck, and it teaches one of the most useless languages out there, Dutch, so I can test out of it for language requirement. =P</p>
<p>Still waiting on Northwestern and Hopkins but yeah… i dont see big bucks coming in from them… but we will see =)</p>
