Wiki with SCEA Roster

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>I know you guys are probably sick of rosters, but I thought this would be a little bit more helpful to people next year (and in the next 4 days of RD applications). I've created a Wiki for the CC Stanford board.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.hypothetic.org/ccstanford%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.hypothetic.org/ccstanford&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Anyway, right now there is just an SCEA roster. Every early applicant that wants to can edit the roster page and add a new row for himself or herself in the table. This way, people curious about what types of people were accepted vs. rejected can find basic stats in a nice orgaized table, and then click on each user's name to see more detailed stats. It should be a lot less tedious than copying a pasting a huge list every time and having to scroll to the bottom of the thread to see the most recent stats.</p>

<p>I put some basic instructions up. If you guys think this is a bad idea, just post here and I can take it down. Likewise, if you are having problems with it, post here and I'll try to resolve the issue.</p>

<p>Also, we can put up a new section for RD applicants come April, as well as any other sections we might find useful.</p>

<p>cool good idea. im number 2!</p>

<p>WOW TURTLE! THAT IS SO COOL! I WISH I KNEW C++! or is it Java? Flash? dammit, idk wtf it is. sOoooooooooo. Too bad Princeton doesn't have one. We're not as computer literate as you are. dang, werd up wigga from da frigidz block in da states. werd and numberz and ****, yo.</p>

4

<p>Very cool, so bump :)</p>

5

<p>This is awesome. I know it is going to be very helpful for next year applicants.</p>

6

<p>Do any other schools have their own "Wikis"? If so... could someone please post links to them?</p>

<p>I'm now on the site. enjoy my low stats.</p>

7

<p>A far better idea than the official accepted list... You are a genius! Bump</p>

8

<p>Yay I added myself! Good job, turtle!</p>

9

<p>We have a heinous amount of valedictorians.</p>

10

<p>For those that have already heard back and have posted their stats elsewhere, should we copy and fill in their numbers for them, or give them a chance to do so? On one hand filling it in for them would make the chart more complete, but its their scores after all, and their decision where to post them.</p>

11

<p>yay I'm the first intl on the table!!</p>

12

<p>Looking at that table is frightening, and even more frightening when you think of how many of those valedictorians go to competitve prep schools.</p>

<p>Oh, and is anyone else having a problem when you use the this is a minor edit button? I went back and centered my stats and it wouldn't let me use that button.</p>

13

<p>Could I suggest adding a "Stanford GPA" column, since that's all that really matters? (Unweighted, no freshman year, all academic classes)? Then maybe an AP/IB classes column and an honors classes column? I dunno....</p>

14

<p>Personally, I'm waay too lazy to calculate my stanford gpa :)</p>

15

<p>Those would probably be good things to put on the personal page.</p>

16

<p>Actually, the GPA column is supposed to be the Stanford GPA according to the notes. It would be nice if you guys could calculate it (10th grade on, unweighted, academic), and otherwise put N/A so it doesn't get confusing with different types of GPAs.</p>

17

<p>what is the method that stanford uses?? do they go by 4.0 for 90-100, 3.0 for 80-89, etc. or is it more complicated?</p>

18

<p>Nice, excluding freshman year gives me a 4.0!</p>

19

<p>If your transcript only has percentages, then I'm guessing they would do:</p>

<p>90-100 = 4.0
80-89 = 3.0
70-79 = 2.0
60-69 = 1.0
0-59 = 0.0</p>

<p>However, if they had more information, like a school profile that said "92-100 is an A" then they might change things.</p>

<p>For the Wiki, however, just do what seems likely. A rough approximation in the Stanford method (no 9th grade, only academic classes, unweighted) is better than an accurate weighted GPA or something else.</p>

20

<p>The only problem with this wiki is it doesn't bump to the top of the CC board. So if you do add, please bump also, maybe say something like "I added?"</p>

<p>I CANT WAIT TILL TOMORROW</p>

<p>P.S.-it figures that the stanford board would think of the best way to do this, eh? :p</p>
