<p>Sorry, I’m not sure I understand: what do you mean your SATII’s are 2380? SATII’s are out of 800, you don’t add them up. But regardless, SAT Subject Tests are completely optional for Stanford, so I don’t think they can really “make up” for a lackluster SAT score. That being said, your SAT score is perfectly fine (not sure what you mean by “it won’t suffice academically” either).</p>
<p>Also, I wasn’t referring to your specific SAT scores when I said they are higher than about 25% of applicants. I just meant that they are within the middle 50% of accepted applicants (as listed on CollegeBoard’s website), therefore about (very very rough estimate) 25% of accepted applicants have lower scores and 25% have higher.</p>
<p>Hey Rolandic 7. Is your name Ronald? Yes? No? Well, it is now.
Hello Ronald</p>
<p>About the sense of humor comment. Yeah… I actually thought you were those kids who always tended to argue against almost anything or any policy…no matter how ridiculous the arguments may seem. Usually they are premature/anti-social debaters in the Debate club at school. Forgive me.
But usually those people are rather dry and have absolute 0 sense of humor. They ain’t chill either.</p>
<p>I mean c’mon. You made it seem as though Stanford and colleges would racially discriminate against applicants. Group a bunch of Asians together and evaluate them separately. Reject anyone who didn’t have a 2300+ on the SAT. </p>
<p>Silly Ronald.</p>
<p>But I’m glad you’ve got it all sorted out.</p>
<p>KevRus: </p>
<p>Our admission officer said they look at all 3 of your subject tests, so I’m just saying that holistically I have a 2380…that’s all. And sorry, but I got the notion that my SAT I scores were sub-par and thus I said that they won’t “academically suffice”. Whatever, this thread has gotten way too confusing and everyone is arguing about such nit picky things. It’s all coming from each individual’s perspective. The dude who said my ECs aren’t “great” because they didn’t get national/international recognition is a renowned karate champion in the US nationals division and the person who was talking about the low-income advantage was an African American who had to overcome the low-income disability. So, stop the arguing and unnecessary finger pointing, bleh. Good luck to all on the application process.</p>
<p>We’re not really arguing anymore. :)</p>
<p>I’m trying to boost your self-confidence! Your SAT’s are fine! You’re extremely competitive! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.</p>
<p>But again, SAT Subject Tests are optional…You don’t even need to take three in the first place. You could just send one - or you could send five. I’ve never heard of anyone adding up SAT subject tests before, because it doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>just saw this… and from one south asian to another… good luck yar. I’m freaking out right now!! Make sure you let us know how things go for you!!</p>
<p>also, didn’t mention this in the last post, but I live in CO too… so we’ll most likely be compared to one another (South Asian, Female, semi-competitive public school)… yikes.</p>
<p>Haha cool. Thanks and good luck to you too! I’m so nervous for the 15th =/</p>
<p>haha lol i wrote my stanford essay on the same thing (overcoming discrimination as a Sikh)</p>
<p>nice to see others applying though</p>
<p>so what exactly were you discriminated for? was it school based? Yeah I know that America is still racist, but I didn’t think that school teachers would discriminate for Boy Scouts or other clubs.</p>
<p>Specifically? Boy Scouts was one, where in the beginning I was secluded in camps and I wasn’t allowed to wear my turban in dining halls. After 9/11 attacks, discrimination at school occurred in the form of name calling and general presumptions. At this one cross country meet, there was a huge dilemma over whether I could wear my turban or not. When I went to soccer games, I’d hear the other teammates snickering “terrorist”. And well the most embarrassing one of all was when I wasn’t allowed entry to the Senate Chambers at the State Capitol for my turban despite explaining my religious reasons. </p>
<p>But seriously, I really don’t care about these things that much. It’s not like when people call me terrorist or turban kid I throw a fit. It is only on a very rare occasion that I really feel offended by someone’s comments. I see people staring a lot of time, but hey come on, not everyday you see a guy with a turban on his head, huh? My essay on short shorts addresses how I have learned to laugh at myself and it is in my laughter that I educate others about my belief and that I remedy my differences. </p>
<p>So to answer your question more explicitly, no I wasn’t disallowed to join clubs/organizations. It was only the occasional seclusion, bigotry, etc.</p>
<p>Hey… do you go to P2P by any chance?</p>
<p>lol you know who I am :). Yup I do go to P2P. What about you?</p>
<p>I know Evan… well I saw your profile pic (you had mentioned you were sikh)on the stanford group on facebook, and clicked on your name… then I saw that one of our mutual friends was Evan… so I decided to look at which school you went to, and mystery solved haha.</p>
<p>I go to Eaglecrest… in the denver metro area.</p>
<p>Haha nice! Yea Evan and I are good friends. Eaglecrest nice. Lol I was really surprised at how many people I recognized from the facebook group. People from my old school in cali, people from cross country, etc. Small world. Btw feel free to add me on facebook.</p>
