Official Stanford SCEA 2017 Applicants' Discussion Thread

[pitabread78]

Only 13 people from my state went to Stanford a few years ago #livinginthesouthprobs

@pitabread, where did you find that stat? Just wondering because I'd like to know if my state is underrepresented in the acceptance pool.

[ccuser95]

I would also like to know

[pitabread78]

I guess it was four years ago...I'm from North Carolina

Wow, this is great, thanks! Turns out I'm not from an underrepresented area... But that's ok.

20-28 days to go!

[pitabread78]

I'm just real nervous! I really want get in, but I will be really happy at my next school so that's okay tooooo!

hey, fyi:
my parents are stanford alums. They just got a letter from stanford talking about how they shouldn't send hate mail if I don't get in. The interesting bit was this line, though:
"Applicants will be informed of their decision after 3 pm (pacific time) on December 14."
just thought y'all might be interested.

[Adodie]

Thanks for the link, wildcat0. It's really interesting to so.

I personally thought more people would come from Oregon (my home state) and Nevada. Any other Oregonians on here?

[ccuser95]

My state is in the second tier (6-15 acceptances)

@alegollama... that's funny haha. Hopefully we get them earlier than Dec. 14!

Has anyone seen any reports released by Stanford saying how many people applied SCEA this year? A lot of other schools, such as Yale, have already released these statistics.

@Adodie I am! I was also surprised by the Oregon tally... and I really have no idea if it's good or bad for us haha Just hoping for the best!

My parents are as well and we also got this. We loled. Anyway, it's nice to have an idea of when we will know!

[Adodie]

I'm not sure how I feel about this -- the school I want to go to (Stanford) just crushed the football National Championship dreams of one of my state's teams (U of O).

I'm glad I can add yet another dimension, sports, to a forum dominated by academics. xD Have a good night, everybody!
