*Official* Stanford REA 2015 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>

I enjoyed that Old Spice commercial! It was neat, but I doubt that all the people that would read that essay have seen it.</p>

<p>Whee! Keep posting everyone :p</p>

<p>^^Safe to assume some, though?</p>

<p>1000 POSTS. OH YES. (but I had 999, which is also really epic…)</p>

<p>Most adcoms ARE pretty informed…</p>

<p>its a little risky with pop culture references, but at this point, it’s go big or go home right?</p>

<p>have you seen the sesame street spoof of the old spice commercial? its really cute:
[YouTube</a> - Sesame Street: Smell Like A Monster](<a href=“Sesame Street: Grover Stars in "Smell Like A Monster." - YouTube”>Sesame Street: Grover Stars in "Smell Like A Monster." - YouTube)</p>

<p>Adcoms are usually in their twenties (the Deans of Admissions are the old(er) people). They watch regular TV, so I’m pretty sure they have seen the Old Spice commercial.</p>

<p>^^I loved that one! It was great :D</p>

<p>^Relieved to hear it. :slight_smile: Thanks!</p>

<p>Finally sent it in. <a href=“relieved”>i</a>*</p>

<p>Do we get email confirmation eventually from Stanford?</p>

<p>Yeah, they’re just suuuuuper slow. Annoying, right?</p>

<p>Haha yeah, well at least my app got “downloaded”.</p>

<p>Now I have midterms for my Differential Equations class to study for. If someone understands what exactly is an eigenvalue or vectorspace, let me know…</p>

<p>My app was downloaded! Ohhhh</p>

<p>Ugh, one teacher has yet to finish her recommendation</p>

<p>How do you have teachers if you’re homeschooled?</p>

<p>Also, has anyone read through the Stanford REA Decisions thread? It’s SO depressing. Everyone is crying and 2400 SATs are all getting rejected… Not good.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>Well, we’re all boned…</p>

<p>What are your chances of getting admitted if you get deferred?</p>

<p>I haven’t received the confirmation either :(</p>

<p>yay for the 1000 :D</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>And there are all the emotional goodbyes of people who had bonded over the past few months… Gahh I don’t even want to think about it. Also, did anyone notice in that thread, people started posting about decisions on December 11th?</p>

<p>Yup I read somewhere on there that decisions have been sent out the Friday before the 15th the past few years… so I’m pretty sure that puts us at December 10th…awesome</p>
