<p>@zenkoan - thanks, I’m hoping for the best as well. However, I beg to differ in terms if how it could possibly affect my application. I certainly don’t want to sound like I should be deemed the most amazing teen app developer (like the ones CBS likes to feature every now and the), but I would hope that my project sets my application apart from others. </p>
<p>And if you are judging because there are people who make cooler apps, I think that’s a bit unfair to say. There’s always someone better at anything you do, but that doesn’t mean everyone below them shouldn’t be recognized. I simply wanted to show Stanford more about me and why I would love to go there. My best way to communicate this is through an app. </p>
<p>I do agree that it wouldn’t be a good idea for future applicants to make apps for the sale of making apps, but if that’s their passion, then there’s no need for discouragement. But, hey, as far as I know, I’m the first one. I think that’s worth something, and I feel doing what I did was a better choice than not doing it. Either way, I had fun, so it wasn’t time wasted.</p>
