<p>Hi to all of you Stanford Transfer Applicants, successful or not. Particularly to you, Liontreelion. Thanks for starting this thread long ago. My middle daughter was also a transfer applicant, but she didn’t make it in, either. I would like to congratulate you all on your stellar accomplishments to date. It seems like that’s lost in the disappointments: you are all extremely successful in the educational system. Bravo for your hard work. Now take a deep breath, finish those final exams wherever you may be, and plan out your Fall semester / quarter. Life is going to go on whether you’re busting your butt to accomplish what you want, or flushing your future down the toilet because you didn’t get into Stanford. I thought it was quite mean-spirited of them to intimidate you over the ID number attempts. Maybe it’s not the perfect school you all had expected it to be. Anyway, on a lighter note, here’s what to do with all the sour faces and spirits of disappointment:
Take 6 oz. frozen lemonade concentrate, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup water, and 10-12 ice cubes. Put everything into a blender and blend on High speed for 1 minute. Pour into cups. Don’t gobble it, or you’ll freeze that lovely brain of yours. CHEERS to all and have a good life!</p>
<p>I’m sorry your daughter didn’t get in. </p>
<p>To be honest, it really does hurt to know I could’ve been rejoicing right now had I not accessed SUNet, and it hurts to know I’m being singled out in this (as other students who admitted to accessing it in previous years have not been punished). I did not think Stanford would do that. However, what’s done is done. I know this is a good lesson for me to learn from, and I hope future applicants will also learn from my mistake. I might have to try out your recipe sometime haha.</p>
<p>Liontreelion, do you know if you been accepted by Stanford before the SUNet attempt? Or are you guessing?</p>
<p>Based on previous years’ results, the SUNet method works. However, I don’t think Stanford will admit this. After Mr. Shaw’s warning that “any candidate who attempts to determine the action on their application prior to official notification may have his or her admission revoked,” I was immediately asked for a letter of explanation, when students who were denied outright and who also tried to access the system were not. I was also one of very few applicants whose decision was released a day later because the Committee needed more time to decide my case. This means that I was not rejected outright; otherwise, I would’ve been notified of my rejection when all other decisions had been released. Some people want me to take legal action for being singled out, but I don’t think I will do that.</p>
<p>@ Antebellum,</p>
<p>In spite of your perfect stats, you are still an embarrassment to Emory because of your seriously racist views. First, Asians excel at a variety of other fields. Have you ever heard of Confucius? Students around the world study his philosophy and turn to him for insight on morality, politics, and so on. In addition, a good number of Asians, such as Rabindranath Tagore, have won the nobel peace prize for literature. Gandhi and Mother Teresa worked wonders in the political and social arena and they both hail from India. </p>
<p>You clearly don’t understand that diversity is integral to a fine education. Heck, even Stanford prides itself for being one of the most diverse schools in the world. </p>
<p>I am not surprised at all that Stanford rejected you.</p>
<p>I get chills reading Antebellum’s post. Wow…</p>
<p>Would you like me to get the Stanford student newspaper involved in this, or do you just want to get on with things?</p>
<p>Oh boy, I don’t know. Part of me says I have lots of other things to do and should get on with my life, but the other part says I should fight this for the sake of my rights and students’/applicants’ rights in general. I’m an activist and a budding lawyer after all.</p>
<p>I don’t think you could win admission, but I think if the matter were publicized, either Stanford would fix the hole in their admission secrecy or future applicants would be warned better.</p>
<p>If there’s any way I could bring attention to this loophole anonymously, that would be great.</p>
<p>I think that if I direct attention to this thread, that’s all you’ll need to do. Should I?</p>
<p>Before hearing my decision, I explained my situation to one of my trusted professors here at Northwestern and he, too, doubted Stanford would single me out and revoke my admission. He said Stanford would probably admit me on probation, but he said even doing that is shaky on legal grounds. I’m really starting to think I have a case here if I have a professor backing me up. Let me ruminate on this matter a little while longer. Meanwhile, I will PM you.</p>
<p>antebellum’s posts make me second guess applying to emory…haha. “go back to your countries…” i mean really??? </p>
<p>reminds me of some dave chapelle…</p>
<p>“You and yer ching chang chong…I cant understaaaand you… go back to yer couuuuuuntry… white power.”</p>

<p>It is not up to you to decide who is deserving and who is not. Perfect stats does not mean you will get into every school. I know you are angry about your Stanford decision but please don’t express that anger on those who were deemed worthy of an acceptance. There is a reason why they were chosen out of 1300 and I have no doubt they deserve it. </p>
<p>You are still attending an absolutely AMAZING school which means your stats have brought you all the opportunities that Emory has to offer. Please don’t take it for granted. Keep on working, have an open mind and you will ultimately get what you want or somewhat close to it.</p>
<p>LOL Brah! I busted out laughing in the middle of the library…at 11:41 haha! Wow I really needed that!</p>
<p>Yo lion, how do you know for sure that you were rejected due to your attempt at discovering your admittance through the SUnet process? Did they specifically address that subject in your decision letter? Btw, I read Stanford’s Fundamental Standard and it didn’t say anything about trying to log into a Stanford student account website (or whatever you wan’t to call it) being a violation. If you were initially accepted but then rejected after learning about your attempt to log in, I would consider that a heavy load of garbage, and extremely unfair grounds for rejection. Apparently this SUnet thing has been going on for a few years now? Why is it that they’ve only discovered this RIGHT now, during our Transfer application process? All I can say is, it’s possible you were never accepted at all (though that would be strange because your info showed up when you put your ID into SUnet), but if they rejected you based on the SUnet scenario, you really should make your voice heard in some way, because it just doesn’t seem like strong enough grounds for rejection. I don’t know, that is my two cents.</p>
<p>By the way, all you unsuccessful Stanford applicants, did you know that if you had been accepted you would have had to pay to attend Stanford’s football games? I have this on hearsay from a Stanford mom. Regular admission prices to see your own team play. Boo, hiss.</p>
<p>BrainyDaughters, are you sure there’s no student discount of some type? That’s ridiculous if there’s not. Full price? Are you kidding me? I’ve been going to their games since I was 5 and they have an extremely hard time getting 30,000 at their games. Now I know why.</p>
<p>Well, like I said it’s just hearsay, but the Stanford mom mentioned $50 tickets.</p>
