<p>Oh, one more thing (I really should start consolidating posts). Because I'm not 18, I can't touch the animals. I can't do dissections because of this whole "legal" thing. Canada must be even more uptight then...</p>
<p>To alfredeneuman:</p>
<p>that is why i applied for internships in dubai and india... pursuing my career first hand as a neurosurgeon... I will be trained by pediatric neurosurgeons from 4 hospitals- 2 in dubai, 2 in india... In theoretical aspect of neurosurgery/ neurosurgical sciences... Learning about diseases... and doing autopsies... i had to prove A LOT that i am capable in doing the autopsies through extensive interviews and doing reading assignments/ projects before hand.... I will be in the OR with other med students during the summer in all 4 of the hospitals, learning first hand surgical techniques and stuff...</p>
<p>I want to go into neuroscience... but i think the research stuff won't shine for me... im working on a case study instead with 3 neurosurgeons that i have met volunteering at the hospital for 1 year... they know me quite well and one has so much confidence in me that i could go anywhere... anyways yah...</p>
<p>I guess you gotta start somewhere right... sure its not like your picking at brain samples/ doing neuropathology... but it is a start....</p>
<p>Hope that research project with one of the lab researchers goes well!!! All THE BEST!!.. cant wait for us to apply for SCEA Stanford...</p>
<p>Good Luck, keep in touch</p>
<p>Sincerely, Ambitiousteen</p>
<p>Uh . . . aren't we deviating from the topic? I would advise yall to get baaccck.</p>
<p>5:45 am Wake Up
6:30 am Get to School
7:00 am Start school
2:30 pm Get out school'
3:00 pm XC or Track practice
5:00 pm Go home
5:30 Eat relax, unwind recover, surf net etc.
7:30 eat dinner
8:00 homework
11:30 bed.</p>
<p>I had other activities during the day so track usually got pushed back till like 5:30 many days. I didnt do homework for 3:30 hours every night I also had chores and got bored and did other things. But yeah thats life. </p>
<p>I can't believe i used to wake up at 5:45. I can barely do 8:00am nowadays.</p>
<p>honestly ashwinsundar, i don't think you're going to find correlations - you're looking at this too analytically. the beauty about stanford is that there is truly no "typical" stanford student.</p>
<p>^ Yes, I see. Come to think of it, you're absolutely right.
^^"</p>
<p>i'm surprised more people don't wake up early. it is almost impossible for me to get schoolwork done at night- i get up at 5:45 and do it then instead.</p>
<p>perhaps applying- this is what my schedule was this spring:
up about 5:45 to finish homework/reading (i had about 400p of reading a week)
breakfast 6:45, make lunch, etc.
catch bus at 7:15
direct rehearsal 7:30-8:15 (fortunately a one act)
class 8:15-12:30
lunch while socializing & attempting to read 12:30-1
class 1-3
meetings with clubs or teachers 3-3:30
track 3:30-6
catch bus at 6:15
shower, read paper 6:30-7
dinner at 7
homework 8-10
music practice 10-10:45 (not exactly serious & we're all up anyway)
work for ec's until about 12, then bed</p>
<p>next year i expect will be about the same, but instead of just one season, i have to be at school at 7:30 all year to run the coffee shop. not fun.</p>
<p>The last time I had a regular weekday schedule was freshman year, and I think that's exactly why I got into Stanford. After school, I had days where I'd volunteer in the afternoon, go to an internship, sit in rehearsal, do homework all night, or whatever. But there were also days when I randomly decided to cook a three-course dinner, or spent the afternoon reading up on African current events, and even went shopping or (gasp) out with friends. You're young and should be exploring the world! The beauty of the Stanford application is that it doesn't force you to "sell yourself" as an easily digestible list of activities. The questions really let you show off your personality, so take advantage of that!</p>

<p>Essentially my schedule changed every day and often times there wasn’t much sleep involved. But given my free period, I could have prioritized my work and focused instead of procrastinating, and I probably could have gotten to sleep by 11 pm most nights.</p>
<p>I participated in sports. I wasn’t very good. I took some seminars at area colleges and research institutes that weren’t credited towards my high school (or Stanford) degree.</p>
<p>haha obviously I waste way more time than the rest of you guys…</p>
<p>7:50 wake up
8-4:15 class
4:30-5:30 tutoring at elementary schools
5:30-6 dinner
6-8 night class or tutorial, or some other form of wasting time
8-1 procrastination/hanging out
1-2 actual homework</p>
<p>There might be an extracurricular thrown in there anywhere from 6-10. But I go to a boarding school, so there are always people to waste time with, most of whom don’t sleep. Really, for me, it’s the extracurriculars that suck up time, as well as the random stuff that just has to come up when you live at school (required 3 hrs of work every week for a teacher, hall meetings, housekeeping, etc). My school offers college-level classes, beyond normal APs, but there’s barely any homework, or rather I don’t do it if I don’t feel it’s necessary for me to learn the material.</p>
<p>7.30-2.30 school
2.30-midnight* TUMBLR</p>
<p>squeeze in some hw somewhere in there.</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>SAME, except replace tumblr with stumble!</p>

700-900: track practice (6-8 miles of running)
910-340: school
400-500: math team practice
515-600: light track practice
630-1000: get home, eat, homework, enjoy life, watch news, do apps and scholarships
