<p>Hmm, I sent in my 2nd teacher evaluation about 4 weeks ago. Does it just take longer to process because it is mail?</p>
<p>
Me too…I’m wondering if my teacher’s rec didn’t submit for some reason</p>
<p>i seriously hope that our decisions come out before the 15th… i have my ap calc and my ap physics exam that day… 
And if they do come out at 3:00 12/15 like the email said, I’ll only be halfway through physics! Will I be able to concentrate? absolutely not.</p>
<p>^ Awwww lol, that sounds like the worst time to have a physics test!</p>
<p>Got my email and my invitation to interview. 
Now I just need to freak out about whether the transition between my all-paper counselor and the Common App messed up. I kind of wish they’d told us we could submit missing stuff before the 17th, but I guess there’s no point in really worrying for a couple more days. At this point any missing stuff is probably just bureaucratic delay…</p>
<p>Congrats to wulfran! All you interviewees are making me jealous. Honestly, if I somehow manage to get accepted in December, I think I’ll withdraw my applications from all my other schools except for Harvard (which is tied with Stanford for my top choice).</p>
<p>Hey Fledgling, out of curiosity, what attracted you to Harvard? My cousin goes there and I toured and I got a totally different atmosphere from the one at Stanford. </p>
<p>Stanford seemed to have really modest, friendly, and outgoing people whereas Harvard seemed to have a bunch of quirky, slightly introverted people that each excelled in one area (but were equally as friendly if you got to know them well enough). </p>
<p>My parents seemed to be really pushing for me to apply there but it certainly wasn’t at the top of my list so I was wondering from an eager applicant’s perspective what interested you there.</p>
<p>@ gtlane: Aside from the fact that Harvard’s financial aid policy is arguably the best out of all my other schools’, its ability to allow me to have a joint concentration is particularly unique and fits my desire to concentrate in both linguistics and classics perfectly. Also, I certainly can’t speak for everyone here but I need to go to a school with a HUGE library with plenty of resources for any field, and the Widener Library fits that description. I just find it helpful to have a lot of resources to choose from whenever I’m having a tough time with a subject – in case a class I’m taking uses a textbook that doesn’t explain things particularly clearly, I can just go to the library and look for other books that might do a better job of explaining it. Now I realize that plenty of other universities’ libraries also have large collections, but the Widener is unique in that it has such a diverse set of books and other multimedia. The fact that I’ll be studying Latin and perhaps also ancient Greek pretty much makes this a top priority for me. </p>
<p>Not to mention, the Boston/Cambridge area is fabulous. There’s just so much culture and history behind it, not to mention the fact that the university’s near a major city.</p>
<p>…but I’ll stop here because this is a Stanford thread after all, and I do like Stanford very much. I guess I won’t withdraw all my apps in the event that I do get into Stanford in December… I think I’ll leave MIT and UPenn open as possible choices besides Harvard.</p>
<p>Looking at how interested you are about Harvard, I think you should have applied Harvard ED. Ah well, one more to compete with :)</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Harvard and Princeton do not have early programs.</p>
<p>Well, that was stupid. My bad.
Lets guess: will you be applying to Harvard RD too?</p>
<p>^ I’ve already mentioned it in the thread earlier. If I get in, I <em>might</em>. If I don’t, surely I will. :)</p>
<p>Aah, I haven’t read the earlier posts. Good luck dude, may the best happen to you.
<em>Read the earlier posts</em>
Are you having the bipolar syndrome? Even now?</p>
<p>Ugh, definitely failed math 2 subject test.</p>
<p>I loved the Math Level 2 but left ! question blank! I still <em>might</em> get an 800 right? Assuming the other 49 questions were right???</p>
<p>As for Chem… 
Not sure how that went…</p>
<p>Is it safe for me to send in teacher and counselor reccomendation forms by November 15? I haven’t sent mine in yet.</p>
<p>Also I applied REA for Stanford but I did not get an email confirming that Stanford downloaded my application. Now Im kind of freakin out because Im not sure whether I have to call Stanford andf ind out or just wait and see if threy contact me first. I sent in my app an hour before the due date (midnight PST, which is 2 AM my time). What should I do? Does Stanford send a confirmation email?</p>
<p>@wulfran- congrats on the nvitation to invterview! Ihope i get mine</p>
<p>^ The curve on math 2 is about -10 = 800. If you only skipped one question that’s still a ways to go before you have to worry.</p>
<p>Just had my interview at Caribou Coffee—it was pretty relaxed and went well. =)</p>
<p>
Not quite. The curve is more like -5 = 800.</p>
<p>@wulfran- I am in the exact same situation! Haha my counselor chose paper copies for everything, and it is stressing me out because she is not known for her promptness and organization… 
But I have a question… I received the email, but not an invitation for an interview. Are they optional depending on region?</p>
