<p>Yes I am from JIRS, and whoops, i did forget Stanford, btw Whoever read this, thats my Number 1 choice (dream xD)… and truly I Don’t want to go to Northwestern but its just that my Parents want me to start college in Spring and Northwestern is one of the few that still have that option open. I’m not even sure I have a shot at stanford, ive seen peoples Academics and Supplements and stuff and they are amazing. I’m still going to try. I have considered Purdue, but i’m still deciding whether to apply or not.</p>
