Well, I am certainly not that impressive... I am also confused about how I got in.

Can anyone who is a local of Stanford and is attending SIMR this year possibly rent me a room for the summer? I was accepted, but I need a place to stay. Or do some other SIMR people who aren't locals want to rent a place together? PM me please with confirmation that you were accepted. Thank you!

@dchenfire I PMed you. If anyone else has these questions PM me or anyone in the program for the facebook page, where we are sorting out a bunch of the logistics.

I just did things I enjoyed. Red Cross Club, interning at a health/soy database, volunteering at a convalescent hospital, science bowl, a research internship last summer, and being a math tutor are my main ECs because I enjoy them. Believe me, I am not that impressive. I don't have a single award other than a CTY talent search thing. I think my essays helped me because I was able to show passion, and other than that it was an immense amount of luck.
