<p>Ezbreezy are you even applying to Stanford REA?</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Got in last year, I presume?</p>
<p>Gotta enjoy posts like #1517 and #1520
LOL</p>
<p>oh mahh gawwwwwwwwwdddd look out guys we have a bamf in the houseeee everyone bow down all hail ezbreezyyy</p>
<p>if you’re a girl, I bet that’s exactly what you are…ez</p>
<p>Guys, an FYI. Last year’s REA group never had to deal with an issue like this. You guys should just drop it. Besides, we all know that admissions at Stanford are ambiguous. EVERY factor is AMBIGUOUS. At this point, to be stressing out and putting all anxiety into making bogus claims is nonsense. There’s no evidence to say that SATs are accepted as a primary factor or vice versa. Just let it be. Change the subject.</p>
<p>Sorry I forgot your name, but whoever is planning on not doing the tutor session on that Friday that results theoretically come out, I kind of disagree with your thinking. At least I think it’s a bad idea. That’s like saying you’ve only been tutoring in order to give yourself an EC. I’m not saying this to criticize you or anything, so don’t take it as an offense. But shouldn’t you be continuing your job? To help whoever you’re tutoring? IDK. If it was me, I would just keep tutoring. Try for them anyway.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m a guy. But no thanks, I’m not interested.</p>
<p>^^ If it were me tutoring, though, I know that I’d be WAY too distracted to do it. And a distracted tutor can be worse than no tutor, since they’re liable to give misinformation.</p>
<p>Sleet, who are you? Don’t go picking fights where no fight is necessary.
That person was Jason, and I think you’re very wrong. A night with as much potential impact as that night will inevitably cause distraction, anxiety, and eventually, extreme emotion (whether good or bad). In this specific situation, Jason might be best NOT tutoring at all, as he couldn’t be a very good tutor with all of this going on. It has NOTHING to do with him doing an extracurricular just to have an extracurricular, and I don’t know what was going on in your mind to make you think so. If you’re going to come in and start posting on this thread, get to know us before you attack us, okay?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>True. But at least inform the tutee that this may be the case. Try to figure out some way to be there for them. Maybe move the date to the day before? Something like that. Hmmm, that reminds me because I may be tutoring people in March/April too.</p>
<p>Never offered, sleazybreezy</p>
<p>Thank you Wulfran and Courtney.</p>
<p>No where on my app do I mention tutoring. I do it as a favor to those around me, as well as a little bit of extra side cash. </p>
<p>That day can be potentially devastating, or over-joyous. Either way, there is NO WAY i want to be spending an hour tutoring a girl in math. I’d be either way too excited to want to sit there tutoring, or way to devastated.</p>
<p>I offer my best to my students, and tutoring on game day would not be the best. Everyone here respects me, and I have integrity. Please don’t make assumptions.</p>

<p>I disagree with the “threshold” theory.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would say that name calling is beneath you, but it really isn’t.</p>
<p>Ezbreezy- stop causing conflict! Start a new thread if you want to argue it! Either get to know us and talk to us as friends and not as an antagonist, or let us talk to each other in peace! I am extremely proud of the fact that this group has become close, and I’m not liking all the problems you’ve brought to the thread tonight.</p>
<p>SO… How are everyone’s grades holding up through application season? Has everyone been able to handle it okay?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sorry but you clearly didn’t read through my entire post. I made sure to write “I’m not saying this to criticize you or anything, so don’t take it as an offense.” That was meant as a generalization. That people do it. Not necessarily that he does it. It was not my intent to stage an attack either. I understand that a tutor may not be best fit on a night (or day as the time may be) like that. It goes for any stressful time. All I’m saying now is that maybe he could at least warn the tutee in some way. Or even maybe go an extra hour the previous session. Do SOMETHING to make up for losing that session. To just let it go is too much IMHO. I’m not saying this as an attack. Maybe I came off as harsh, but the way it sounded to me was as follows:</p>
<p>You’ve heard the story before. You’re on a dock and a friend or some anonymous person is struggling in the water. You’ve been attempting to help them. Then suddenly you hear that something is about to happen. You place the priority on the event and not the person. How can you not feel guilty? REGARDLESS of stress or desire?</p>
<p>Shouldn’t the priority be placed on the tutee? I don’t get it right now. Stanford is always publicizing how much it loves applicants who will go above and beyond.</p>
<p>IDK. That’s just me. Maybe I’m interpreting it wrong. Maybe you mistook what I was trying to say. Whatever. I won’t continue replying on this sole topic.</p>
<p>Woah, Sleet. Do NOT start getting all personal and talking about whether he would make a good Stanford student or not. I won’t say anymore since you said you’d leave, but seriously- ■■■■.</p>
<p>It’s a tutoring session. Big deal. We can reschedule, or just cancel that week. It’s not like she’s a student who’s struggling, she’s an excellent student who needs more of a challenge. We’ve been tackling stuff like AMC problems together etc. Her mom knows me well, they’ll completely understand that i want the day off and be personally rooting for me.</p>
<p>MAybe i have a better relationship with my students than you do. I have gone up and beyond in everything I do. I dont’ need to start listing stuff i’ve done, because that wont change it. But i can honestly look back at my last 4 years and be proud of my actions and deeds. Don’t judge someone you dont know.</p>
<p>Anyway. What are all you guys and girls doing to relieve stress? Playing sports? Hobbies? Self-diagnosing with senioritis?</p>
<p>Well I got a 3.91 first quarter! yay! 
Not exactly what my GPA was the first three years of high school, but I’m not complaining. My classes this year are so hard (AP spanish lit, AP english lit, AP calc bc, AP physics). How’s everyone else holding up??</p>
<p>:D ignoring the posts above hehehhe</p>
<p>I really don’t have time to relieve stress. Talking to Courtney really helps me with stress though, and I know she feels the same. IT’s nice talking to people who share similar burdens. I do the same with a couple close buddies of mine, only a couple people though. Not many people seem to have ambition like us.</p>
<p>Much better. Senioritis hasn’t really hit me at all. Though a general dispassion has kind of muted my enjoyment of things, I still do what I have to do to get through school. Spending time with my Little Sister at the Boys and Girls club is very helpful, though nothing really makes that feeling in the pit of my stomach go away completely (crossing my fingers for December 10th!). Honestly, I love this site. This thread specifically. It fuels my anxiety but quells my stress, if that makes any sense. I’ve had the opportunity to build a personal relationship with so many of these people, and it’s really gratifying to talk to people in the same situation as I am.</p>
