It feels good to be done! Good luck to everyone. And thanks for the stats, I'm not sure if I should take it as a blow to my self-confidence or just a reality check, ha ha.
Anyway to change the topic a bit; we're all obviously dying to get into Stanford, but say we get rejected (god forbid): what school would be your next choice?
I'm trying to push Stanford out of my mind right now by trying to obsess over another school; what's Dream School #2 for you guys?
My #2 school is Yale. Probably followed by UC Berkeley. Probably followed by UCLA. If the financial aspect doesn't work out (read: if I don't get into Yale and don't get Regents' at Cal and UCLA), then I'll have to go to UC Davis (already accepted). Or maybe UCSC. But those are seriously last resort.

My #2 is Harvard, and my #3 is MIT.
But more realistically, if I don't get into Stanford, I think Columbia would be a lower-reach that I would really love to attend. NYC, baby!
I also planned on applying to UCLA and UC Berkeley, but... I'm starting to wonder if I should even bother. I really want to go, but I'm OOS (and poor), so I doubt I would get anywhere near enough FA to attend. Sigh.
I reaaaalllly don't want to stay in Florida.
