<p>My birthday’s December 12th… I was REALLY hoping decisions would come out after that and NOT ruin my birthday…</p>
<p>^ Awwww 
Hopefully they won’t then…</p>
<p>Just sent everything in 5 minutes ago: common app, supp., payment, invite teachers. xDD</p>
<p>Congrats kamikaze! :)</p>
<p>AW CRAP!! MY BAD LOLOLLOLOLOL!!! So I originally thought the deadline was 12 EST, which meant 9 PST, but its not!!</p>
<p>LOL, and here I was thinking I had just outrun a pack of varsity footballers trying to chase me down.</p>
<p>Seriously though, I spent from 8:50-8:59</p>
<p>First 2 min-edit all my essays (I wrote two supp. ones in the last hour)
Next few mins.- send in stuff, check if its right, realize I still have to invite couns. + teachers even thought they are sending by mail.
Last 2 min-payment. “MOMM!!! GIVE ME YOUR CREDIT CARD RIGHT NOW!!!”
9:01- checking…checking…checking…YES!!!.. (I hope).</p>
<p>Now I’m getting as paranoid as a chicken button. This experience was way too extreme for me. </p>
<p>If you’re wondering though, I didn’t start late. I spent the last month with my essays, but I recycled through 4 topics for my personal statement, and like 2 topics for each supp. (excluding “Why Stanford”). And the two essays in the last hour were created because I decided my previous drafts (like 4 of them) weren’t good enough on behalf of my sister’s advice. </p>
<p>WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…CRASHH!!! </p>
<p>OK, time to finally eat my dinner.</p>
<p>Hmm… looking at the REA decisions thread from last year, the admit rate of early applicants with legacy is ~100%. That’s promising :D</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I submitted at lunch during school today hahaha
how do you tell if you’ve been downloaded yet btw? I don’t think mine is downloaded</p>
<p>@ketchup, dangit I am not legacy / URM / college-level athlete… ACK! :P</p>
<p>^ Just click on the “My Colleges” tab in the left-hand menu when you log into the Common App. Then click on Stanford and it should tell you whether or not your materials have been downloaded.</p>
<p>Ah thanks fledgling. Not downloaded yet here!</p>
<p>mmm…What exactly do you mean Fledgling? I see that each part says “complete” in green coloring; is this what you mean by downloaded?</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>It will say downloaded in black coloring xD</p>
<p>No. When it’s actually downloaded, the green words will change to “Downloaded” in black.</p>
<p>One and a half months. That’s both too long and too soon at the same time. Haha.</p>
<p>i just submitted it, it says it was submitted on the 2nd?! is this bad?!</p>
<p>^ No. It’s not yet November 2nd in Pacific Time, which is the time zone that Stanford goes by. So if you live on the East Coast, you’re still fine. :)</p>
<p>I guess REA is officially closed now. Good luck everyone!
It’s a huge relief that it’s all over. And I don’t want to write personal essays for at least another week…until I start working on the supplements for my other colleges @__@</p>
<p>^ same here. I plan to start writing from sunday…</p>
<p>I’m basically done all my other college apps! Haha</p>
<p>Courtney, I’ve had a couple classes at a local home school co-op, and I have a private Mexican spanish tutor (I have a class with 2 other people). So i have great LOR’s! Plus, I have a counselor.</p>
<p>And the rejection of perfect 2400’s is good for me :p. I’m waving a 31 ACT hahah</p>
