*Official* Stanford REA 2015 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>According to Wulfran, EVERYTHING!! lol! :p</p>

<p>It’s an… endearing insult? If that makes sense. I think that’s what it is…</p>

<p>I wasn’t dissing your book taste</p>

<p>I don’t mean to offend you at all, I haven’t read either book.</p>

<p>I was saying it strikes me as hypocritical to be so critical to people who enjoy Twilight:
“TWILIGHT? really? I swear to God if I run into any Twilight fans at Stanford I’ll consider my college education an effing waste of my money”
And then say that The Host is a completely different story
From what I’ve heard, the Host is basically the same Twilight dynamics (Smart, pretty heroine, attractive controlling guy, etc) repackaged in an, albeit interesting, sci-fi shell with tons of inner feelings and dramatic monologues.</p>

<p>Now, I haven’t read it, so I’m not sure if that’s true, but I trust my friends opinions enough that I didn’t go out and get them. Maybe I would love The Host, or Twilight. Maybe I’m not ‘mature’ enough. I’m not judging you, just saying you shouldn’t be disrespectful to people who like different things.</p>

<p>Whoa we shifted topic. My bad.</p>

<p>I’m actually not so stressed about decisions.
It’s just like the Robert Frost poem:</p>

<p>" I shall be telling this with a sigh<br>
Somewhere ages and ages hence:<br>
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—<br>
I took the one less traveled by,<br>
And that has made all the difference."</p>

<p>I know in the future I’ll be telling myself that wherever I ended up going for college, Stanford or otherwise, is what made all the difference.</p>

<p>Yeah it’s best if you just move on. Crmichi is feisty, there’s no way around it. Love the poem- I’m a big Frost fan :slight_smile: so applicable and reassuring!</p>

<p>^^ I agree</p>

<p>Right now decline in this microcosm of college but in ten years I doubt well care at all.</p>

<p>*decline was supposed to be we’re in</p>

<p>@fledgling:
YOU GET TO DO A UNIT ON SATIRE.
YOU … you know the rest of this sentence. :D</p>

<p>satire:wulfran::Russia:Chekov</p>

<p>I love you too, you horrible lot. :P</p>

<p>who wants a countdown :p</p>

<p>[Countdown</a> to Dec 10, 2010 7:00 PM in New York](<a href=“Time since Dec 10, 2010 7:00 pm started in New York”>Time since Dec 10, 2010 7:00 pm started in New York)</p>

<p>Haha I’m trying to forget the day so the email will surprise me</p>

<p>Whats the first thing you guys are gonna do if you do/don’t get in?
Get in: Smile. Laugh about it with friends.
Nope: Eat some Ben and Jerry’s. Laugh about it with friends.</p>

<p>EDIT: Also, check out this video
100% computer generated, this is insane:
<a href=“http://vimeo.com/15630517[/url]”>http://vimeo.com/15630517&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>^I don’t believe that it’s 100% computer generated…</p>

<p>I know, I didn’t either.</p>

<p>You can check out his other work. Some of his videos show how he makes them, it’s incredible.</p>

<p>You can tell if you watch the way the food shatters when it hits the table
This is from the comments

</p>

<p>That’s pretty impressive for a computer generated video. </p>

<p>

I’d probably do the same thing, but I’ll more than smile if I get in.</p>

<p>A late response but my names Jon and I live in Florida around ft lauderdale
SAT 2 scores come out tomorrow!!! :open_mouth:
I need them for UCSB and UCSC!! (and if theyre good then mayhbe stanford) :P</p>

<p>I was talking about this with my friends today… If I get in I can’t imagine wanting to do anything but smile… I’d just smile, forever. A celebration wouldn’t be necessary; getting into Stanford’s all the good things one could ask for in a lifetime wrapped into one.</p>

<p>Hiiiii everyone I just landed in denver!!! I’m here for thanksgiving. I missed my phone for the last five hours haha :)</p>

<p>^ Welcome back Minnie (though honestly, you weren’t gone for very long)! :D</p>

<p>How was the flight? :slight_smile: Missed you on CC and Facebook tonight!</p>

<p>I don’t know how I’d feel if I got accepted. I think I’d be a little scared at first, and like “is this actually happening?” and then slowly grow into acceptance and happiness. </p>

<p>But I know that if I got rejected I’d be instantly disappointed and immediately hard at work on other college apps.</p>

<p>I missed you too Courtney! It was a good flight but long. I’ve been flying a lot lately and its getting annoying. But hopefully I’ll have to get used to it ;)</p>
