<p>i think friday decisions are the best. you have the weekend to work it out ;)</p>
<p>Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone. It’s looking like it will turn out okay; we got in contact with the insurance company and my grandparents also offered to pay for part of it. We’re all still a little ruffled, of course, and most of my family’s going to be sleeping in one room for a while, but I think we’re going to be fine. My studying for finals has been seriously screwed up, though. :****P</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, USNAgolden2014, my condolences to you and your friends. Stanford makes mistakes.</p>
<p>can anyone help me out by telling me what the email address of the admissions decision email was? I haven’t gotten my decision yet and i think my email might be blocking it.</p>
<p>“For what it’s worth, USNAgolden2014, my condolences to you and your friends. Stanford makes mistakes.”</p>
<p>Look like there is some merit in me having written “Stanford is confused” in my essay. These decisions make that all too clear.</p>
<p>sg12! I am in the same position! I haven’t gotten the e-mail yet, and I’m scared I wasn’t even considered as an SCEA applicant…I mean I submitted my application on the deadline (11/01/09), but I saw others did the same…so I don’t know. My counselour actually didn’t send the secondary school report until a few days past the deadline, but he said it would be fine. I hope he was right…I can’t think about anything else right now.</p>
<p>If your income is $100,000 =free tuition. Just pay room and board-expenses. $60,000 or less–full ride. Student contribution of about four grand+. Of course, I realize that an acute financial hardship such as the plumbing issue might not do much for you on your FAFSA, but you never know. So even if you made more than the $100,000, it could feel like you make less if this plumbing bill is sky high. I’m sure it will work out.</p>
<p>Best wishes to you!</p>

<p>amciw: Every single one of the SCEAers who I considered my friends got rejected. Every single one. Every single one of the of the people who I talked to for hours every day, every single one of the people who I engaged in a ridiculous posting flurry with to get our count higher than Yale’s. All of them were rejected. I’m not “faking” anything.</p>
<p>Plus, I guess this wasn’t clear before, but about three hours after I got my acceptance, we discovered a problem with our house that could cost thousands of dollars to repair. Thousands of dollars that we don’t even have in the first place. I might not be able to go to Stanford at all now, depending on financial aid and whether our insurance covers this damage. Last night my mother felt so guilty that she cried until she threw up. I’m the only one in my family calm enough to play the adult right now so I’ve been spending the hours since my acceptance trying to simultaneously console everyone and make sure the insurance claim gets filed.</p>
<p>Yesterday was one of the crappiest nights of my entire life. Sorry if you thought I was being “patronizing” by “feigning indifference.”</p>
<p>1337toast,
Lol.</p>
<p>okay, so I called my counselor, and he said I was definitely considered an SCEA applicant, but still no e-mail…Is there anybody else out there in the same position? Will any e-mails be sent today? Should I just keep waiting? Any advice?</p>
<p>Another student has the same problem w/ Axess responding only once every 24 hrs. If you don’t get it today, send them a message.</p>
<p>I’m just noting that regardless of your actual sincerity, given the circumstances, it comes off as exceedingly insincere. My condolences for your houses issues, though I doubt they will prevent you from attending Stanford; still, please be cognizant that trying to bring yourself down to the level of those who were rejected so close to the decision time cannot result in anything but the perception I detailed. I know it won’t be an issue in the future, but I thought you should know regardless.</p>
<p>Livestrong, I bet they’ll come monday for you and me. If not, you can call them Wednesday to get your decision. Good luck, I hope this works out for both of us :)</p>
<p>Thanks sg12! Yeah…I guess we have to wait. I can’t concentrate on anything else though haha. In our cases, they didn’t exactly quell the anxiety. Hopefully, it turns out to be good for the both of us!</p>
<p>Um, amciw, I understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t agree with it sounding that way to all rejects. I’m a reject, myself, but I fully understand and appreciate Starmie’s words, not finding them insincere at all. I’d feel bad if I was accepted while my friends were all rejected, too.
Currently working on the rest of my college list…</p>
<p>sorry dumb q. whats REA as opposed to SCEA?</p>
<p>Restrictive Early Action = Single-Choice Early Action. Just different ways to say the same thing.</p>
<p>Yup. Stanford’s is actually called REA, while Yale’s (I believe) is called SCEA. I’m not sure if Stanford just changed it this year or what, because it’s been called SCEA for years on this forum.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t mean to shamelessly advertise, but since I have over 400 posts in this forum, I hope it’s alright to bring this up… I just made a thread in the college search forum looking for help finding matches and safeties (or more fitting reaches) for my list.
I’d really appreciate anyone willing to spare a look and some words.

Love you guys. Hope everyone who got in absolutely adores their stay at Stanford! (Assuming you matriculate there…)</p>
<p>Hmm, maybe it was worse last year. Really, though, if you’ve cared a lot about Stanford, seeing that would not make you happy. Perhaps you didn’t have as much invested in your acceptance as you thought you did or would have.</p>
<p>Well there is a thing known as civility.</p>
<p>Jealousy leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.</p>
<p>
Youch. And you called Starmie insensitive…</p>
<p>I am a Chinese girl
in my expectation, rejected by Stanford REA
but still a little bit sad and disappointed
i will try my best in my RD
good luck to u all!!</p>
