Unhooked Admit, Got into Stanford, CMU, Duke, etc. Need Help with CS Admissions? ASK ME ANYTHING!

were you deferred by Stanford and then get in? Did you write an additional letter to AO besides the update form? Thanks.

Yes, I was deferred and I sent a quick note to my admissions officer reaffirming my interest. I saved most of my updates for the deferral essays though.

Congratulations! I have an unique question. My kid will run out of English courses for senior year because he will be taking AP literature in junior year . I always thought that top colleges need 4 years of English . The counselor recommends that he skips English junior year and take it in senior year. Will the colleges not see it as 3 years of English only ?

Congratulations on getting into Stanford! I have a question. How many AP classes do you think I should take junior year? I took one freshman year and I’m taking 3 sophomore year. Some people I know are saying that you should take 6 AP classes for junior and senior year but others are saying that there’s no point because once you pass 10 AP classes in total, colleges don’t care if you have 2 or 3 more APs than other applicants. Thanks!
