*Official* Stanford REA 2015 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>On the other hand Time Traveling major would be fairly awesome.</p>

<p>@ fledgling - that’s exactly my view of things! That’s why I’m so interested in biomedical engineering. It sounds like it would be so applicable and it’s always expanding because technology is always expanding!
I feel like majoring in just a pure SCIENCE would be kind of pigeonholing and limited. Not to say they’re not interesting, they’re just not as exciting to my short attention span :)</p>

<p>@ iPixel - that would be SICK but also I feel like potentially you’d hit a lot of walls before getting anywhere… as in, practicality, .001%; epicness, 107%</p>

<p>< 24 hours!! (right?)</p>

<p>The predicted time, according to most people on this thread, is 6PM EST tomorrow. So, its a bit more than 24 hours. Of course, this may be entirely false (hopefully not!).</p>

<p>Assuming 3pm PST, a little over 24 hours :slight_smile: Here’s a countdown a friend made for me (similar to Courtney’s from a while back!) [Countdown</a> Clock](<a href=“Countdown Clock”>Countdown Clock)</p>

<p>nice countdown! haha i’m overseas so my time zone changes failed :P</p>

<p>Well my ideal course would be a fusion of chemical engineering, management science, financial engineering, operations research, economics, culinary arts, astrophysics, anthropology and photography… Lol! Bt that’ll never happen… :stuck_out_tongue: ditto on the application over abstraction. Whereas i’m really into science, i have very diverse interests and i have a penchant towards management and finance aswell (dad’s an economist mum’s an accountant so its kinda in the blood). Also considering the pre med track (though i heard the required courses have impossible grading curves @ stanford and that they infact advise you to take them elsewhere to keep ur gpa up!?)</p>

<p>Thanks for the countdown!! I was going to look for the countdown that someone posted up earlier, but then I decided I didn’t want to search through 300+ pages for it…</p>

<p>friends got into college today im so jealousssssss and im doubting that we will find out tomorrow</p>

<p>Annoying thing is, since im in Russia, while you guys will find out tomorrow, ill have to suffer through the whole day, and only find out saturday morning :(</p>

<p>@kaira07 you call them Cardinals</p>

<p>Anyway, im going to bed, congrats to whoever gets the ol’ 5k :)</p>

<p>ahh were almost to 5000!</p>

<p>i think we’re going to hit at least 6000 in 24 hours…</p>

<p>nowww officially less than 24 hours :stuck_out_tongue: ><… i hope so… or else its gonna add another 48 hours to the countdown… awesome</p>

<p>I kinda hope it comes out next week to be honest. I have a ton of stress in hw and life in general right now and having the decision looming over me isn’t exactly the greatest.</p>

<p>Then again, I still have about 10 more supplements to do by the 1st, and I will have a ton more motivation to finish them up if I get rejected/deferred.</p>

<p>I was so happy when I came home to find I hadn’t missed it :slight_smile: (5000, I mean)</p>

<p>I can’t believe that we didn’t have 80 posts in the 8 hours since I got off last, it’s baffling, I may not miss 5000 now</p>

<p>I really want that 5k, it would be amzing to finally get a thousand mark</p>

<p>@BigKev: I definitely agree with you. Not getting in would be a pretty good reason to get on my essays… :-/</p>
