Wow, I missed all this??? LOL!!

K for starters I'M A BOY!!!

Was out last night "getting laid" lol!! Nah, just had a good time with my crew!!

as for the fear of any of you being rapists.. well I'm too far away to be a feasible target. Thats unless you have about $2500 to pay for a ticket to Kenya..

Well, you don't have to worry about me being a rapist, and I don't have to worry about any of you either since I'm in Dubai... xD

well, kimathi, you probably have to worry about me since my mother almost lives in Tanzania, and I'm supposed to visit her soon xD Btw, do Kenyan speak french?

They take your best scores from whatever sitting. I am not that familiar with the ACT but i think this means they consider the composite(?)

Umm the early action admit rate last year was 13.5% (up from 12.8% for the class of 2013) so that considerably larger than the 7.3% overall admit rate.

As for the defferal rate, while I do not know the actual figures, I do know that a very small number of applicants are deferred. Way smaller than the ivies...

"......... almost lives in Tanzania??" What do you mean?

Haha!! I guess we need to pay for a new burglar(rapist?) alarm system!! lol!!

Well some Kenyans do speak French( along with a myriad of other languages) but if you are asking whether it is the official/national language? Well no! We were colonized by the British so most of our systems are British. Thus the official language is English. Kiswahili is an additional National Language though. Why do you ask??

Well, a big part of her company is located in Tanzania so she travels a lot there, so she spends more time there than here in Dubai.

Oh no, you don’t need to, if I really wanted to get into your house an alarm system wouldn’t stop me =P

I was just wondering.
I know that English is the official language, but sometimes that doesn’t mean anything. As here in Dubai, the official language is Arabic but you wouldn’t be able to live here without speaking English, while you could without speaking Arabic…

Well it depends where you live. In the capital, all major cities and most towns, a combination of English and Swahili is mostly used while in the country side, ethnic languages prevail. There about 40 different ethnic groups in Kenya.

This is directed towards a post on the last page:

It's okay to say you like to party!!!! Stanford doesn't want a whole class of people who stay home every weekend. And a good amount of intelligent teenagers like to go out.

(PS: as stated before, partying is certainly a broad term)

12.7% is good, I think! That's one-in-eight!

Hey Courtney, I'm pretty sure you told me you don't party lol.

Just a question: What's the weather like for everyone? Miami has yet to receive our cold front that's usually due around this time... I'm probably heading down to the pool. (81 degrees)
