<p>I despise you all :)</p>
<p>Love, Stanford 2014 Rejectee.</p>
<p>Just kidding! Good luck! Hopefully you guys keep this thread going so we see where you guys end up. Either way, it’ll be somewhere amazing.</p>
<p>This is the reason there should only be ED and not EA/SCEA!!! So many cross- admits like all these stanford SCEA geniuses who will now probably get accepted to all the good schools and take the acceptances of other students who don’t have any acceptances!!!</p>
<p>Haha I’m just kidding. Congrats to all those admitted!!! Hope you guys go to a school where you’ll truly be happy!</p>
<p>To be honest, I applied to few others but I know FOR A FACT that Stanford is the right school for me. The reason is that it is much more well-rounded than the others. I know this is subjective, but I feel that the environment at Stanford is the most chill and we’re actually good at sports… unlike… the HYP, who thought it was amazing that 1 ivy league school (Cornell) made it to the NCAA bball tournament last year… haha.</p>
<p>(kevin if you’re reading this, then i meant to say that the ivy’s suck at sports besides columbia 
)</p>
<p>I’m waiting on UPenn, Brown, and NYU Tisch (Dramatic Writing). But I cannot see myself turning down Stanford at all.</p>
<p>Yea we should definitely keep this thread running. I wanted to apply to Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia and UPenn as well, but after I got into Stanford I decided not to apply. My official story is so others have a chance (like you, collegestress16) but really I was too lazy. and besides Harvard is the only school I would consider going to over Stanford (maybe Yale as well). All in all, Im glad I applied to Harvard because it adds a little suspense to my final semester.</p>
<p>I’m also waiting on HY(and P). I’m not sure what my order of preference will be, though it’s likely HYPS in that order by very slim margins. If I do, by some miracle, get a HYP school, I’ll have a tough but blissful decision to make!</p>
<p>The only reason S is last is because (and I know this is a superficial, horrible reason) it seems a bit too techy – most of the students I met from S were majoring in some sort of engineering or physics field, whereas I tend to be a bit more humanities oriented.</p>
<p>What strikes me as odd is that between Stanford and even among these three top ivies, I see worlds of difference, especially with respect to school size and social climate. Princeton was, IMO, just suffocatingly tiny while say, Stanford sits on a plot of 8000 acres. Comparing the social climates, I hear(on CC) that Princeton is probably sleepiest while Yale would be the liveliest. Also, I’ve heard that Harvard is more inter-student competitive whereas a place like Yale seems to have a more cooperative atmosphere, reminiscent of Stanford’s. Finally, you have to consider that Princeton’s grade deflation policy sets it apart in the academic spectrum as well.</p>
<p>@TheAscendency: True, the humanities programs at the HYP are probably stronger, though I’m sure they are pretty well regarded at S as well. If anything, I just envision a more enjoyable and fun atmosphere at S, which is important considering our college choices will be our homes for the next few years.</p>
