<p>
Yeah, I thought that was random too when I looked at the list of cities</p>
<p>Am I the only one whose supplement still says “complete” and not “downloaded”?</p>
<p>^^^^^</p>
<p>No one, to the best of my knowledge, has a supp that shows downloaded. have you checked axess?</p>
<p>I’d recommend that you check AXESS first. I don’t believe it’s possible for a supplement to show up as “Downloaded” on your Common App account.</p>
<p>Yeah, mine just says “Downloaded” on the Application bar. For the supplement and school forms, it only says “complete.” However, my axess thing says Stanford has received everything.</p>
<p>Axess is the best way to check your status.</p>
<p>Guys, don’t sweat the interviews.</p>
<p>I asked my interviewer and he said that since it was experimental, even if he ripped me apart Stanford wouldn’t look down on my application any, so it was essentially just to get additional information across.</p>
<p>My interviewer was really casual (he dropped the f-bomb a couple of times). We were laughing and telling stories most of the time and he spent a lot the time talking about why he liked Stanford and his life story basically. I just threw in what I was passionate about and why I liked Stanford and he took some notes about random parts of the conversation.</p>
<p>He showed me the suggested question sheet, but he said “these questions are ********, how could I ask you any of these?,”
One question was like “Talk about a time where you demonstrated exceptional leadership.”</p>
<p>Depending on your interviewer your mileage may vary, but mine was very fun.</p>
<p>It’s kind of frustrating that Stanford is the only one of the colleges I’m applying to that doesn’t send you an email immediately after you apply with your application status and materials you need. As much as I love Stanford, a lot of other colleges seem to treat their applicants a little nicer…</p>
<p>They do have the axess email, which you get after a couple of days after the deadline.</p>
<p>exactly. How hard is it to go online and enter your email into their website to check? I think it’s more convenient because I hate those nag emails </p>
<p>especially from colleges I’m not applying to that say “THE DEADLINE IS TODAY” and then a week later “WE’VE EXTENDED THE DEADLINE FOR YOU BUT YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO APPLY. PLEASE.”</p>
<p>Haha well those nagging emails from schools who got your act score are a bit different. For me, it’s nice to, without doing any more work than I’ve already done, log into my email to see what I have submitted/need to submit. I never got an axess email, though I applied over a month ago. I had to search the site out and sign up myself. However, a poor application process is certainly worth getting to go to Stanford (fingers crossed).</p>
<p>It seems like we’re having a lot more problems with submitting apps than people have in past years… anybody know if these sorts of things were a problem last year?</p>
<p>Hey i know this is completely off toopic but i was wondering if a 2210 on my sat I is enough to give me a strong chance of getting accepted to stanford or if i need to retake it…</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>The SAT by itself is not much of an indicator. I’d say above a certain threshold, it doesn’t really matter that much.</p>
<p>Yeahh, even with a 2400, it’s still a toss-up. No one knows if they’re going to get in until they actually tell you. Haha.</p>
<p>A 2210 is a very solid score that you should be proud of. Unless you feel like you can certainly improve, I wouldn’t advise taking it again.</p>
<p>well im aware that its a crapshoot after a certain point … but im still not sure as to whether my score is above that THRESHOLD??</p>
<p>You’re just as qualified as anyone else as long as the rest of your application is strong.</p>
<p>I don’t really buy the “threshold” assertion, on the grounds that admissions statistics have shown that people scoring between 2200 and 2300 and between 2300 and 2400 are admitted at different rates (the latter group being admitted at a significantly higher rate). So it would certainly be in your best interest to improve your score whenever possible. As I stated earlier, a 2210 is a very good score, but if you feel like it can still be improved, go for it. I would also advise retaking the test if some of your sections are unbalanced (e.g. high CR and W scores but a significantly lower M score, and vice versa). Stanford uses your highest scores from each section to evaluate you.</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>well… it can also be argued that people with a higher SAT score may have a stronger application overall, and it’s not only the SAT that boosts their chance. Correlation doesn’t necessarily equate causation.</p>
<p>Maybe so. Then again, scoring above a 2300 on the SAT doesn’t necessarily mean that the applicant in question also has stellar EC’s/essays/grades. I don’t really see a correlation between SAT scores and the strength of the overall application (which is what your post seems to suggest; correct me if I’m wrong).</p>
