<p>going to yale ey? </p>
<p>i'm taking classes down here in the 305 (miami)</p>
<p>what's everyone else doing this summer?</p>
<p>roughly how many CCers will be transferring to Stanford?</p>
<p>the transfer advisor noted that 72 people were admitted out of around ~1400 applicants. sick.</p>
<p>Not to be a bastard, but would any of you guys mind posting basic stats (GPA, current college, major, SATs)? Thanks.</p>
<p>YEAH...and i also want know how much they weigh SAT scores,high school stats if you plan on transferring as a junior.</p>
<p>you can retrieve my stats from a previous thread...but i'm a junior transfer who will be attending stanford in the fall</p>
<p>catcher- could you be more specific?which thread is it in?</p>
<p>just click on his name and go to other posts, you can do a little detective work.</p>
<p>I actually did before i asked him.</p>
<p>caa, pm me with questions.</p>
<p>catcher- check your pms.</p>
<p>What's everyone doing about bikes? Just wondering. Are you ordering one from the campus bike shop? Shipping from home? Buying a cheap one from walmart/target?</p>
<p>I have one at home, but I dont know what'll be cheaper... shipping it and having the bike shop put it together or just buying a new one there.</p>
<p>is it really the case that the overwhelming majority of stanford students use bikes?</p>
<p>yea....there are like 20,000 bikes at Stanford. the campus is sooo huge that it is almost necessary to have one. I am planning on buying a walmart bike for like $160 or so. The Bike shop there is expensive (bikes tend to be around $275+), and its not like we are going to be riding on mountainous terrain or something.</p>

bball: Stanford's acceptance rate is lower than Harvard's and higher than Yale's. I was rejected by Harvard and accepted to Yale and Stanford. Where are you going to be this fall?

<p>I dunno if that means too much. This year I was accepted by Columbia (120ish admits this year) but rejected by Cornell (700ish). It's more than just a numbers game.</p>
<p>Congrats to those who are going, by the way. It's a pretty kickass school from what I hear.</p>
<p>Jacobian- you said you will either major in math or physics at stanford. Are you a sophomore transfer or a junior transfer? Did you apply "undecided" or does Stanford give you the option to pick a major even as a transfer applicant?</p>
<p>junior transfer. they give you the option to mark 3 (I think) concentrations that interest you. It's not binding -- I still haven't figured out what exactly I want to do-- but I think they just want to get the feel for which direction you want to head @ Stanford (math/science vs. humanities etc.).</p>
<p>wait so when you say only 70 ish out of over 1000 were accepted, do you mean out of all transfers? (soph & jr. tranfers both included)? And does that mean that half of those accepted were soph transfers & half jr. transfers?</p>
<p>72 accepted this year out of more like 1400 or so of both soph/jr transfer applicants. they don't really give any breakdown on the soph/junior status of admitted transfers though -- but I doubt that it would be perfectly even 50-50, or heavily lopsided either.</p>
