I guess you rate the recommendations as *N/A ?.. Haha, or estimate!?</p>
<p>reading the 2015 REA decisions thread and first it was depressing and got better then became depressing again</p>
<p>^I agree 100% except I didn’t see where it got better</p>
<p>^there were a couple accepteds from internationals that cheered me up. not because my SAT scores were similar to theirs or my ECs were better, just because they were internationals… which emphasizes how depressing the thread in general is</p>
<p>Yea it really is… The unhooked applicants all have insane stats/ecs.</p>
<p>Reading the accepted and rejected profiles put me down every time.
Let us simply await the opportunity to be part of 1,700</p>
<p>i had a really bad day and now this… im going to get some icecream and go to bed. see you guys</p>
<p>UPenns: Yea, but I mean… who honestly thinks that they have a good shot (50%+) of getting into Stanford? All of the top schools are kind of crapshoots. My friend got rejected REA to Stanford, but admitted to Harvard and Yale.</p>
<p>Avtrox: Sorry 
hope you feel better tomorrow</p>
<p>^same. A kid from my school last year got rejected from stanford but got into HYPM</p>
<p>An outright rejection will definitely be a blow to my self-esteem though.</p>

Wow, that’s sad to hear ;( that your friend received a “bye-bye” letter from Stanford.
Haha, I know; I am trying my best to be optimistic! Despite the fact that I am going to receive what your friend received last year (I presume?), 
who knows?</p>
<p>@avtrox
Don’t be discouragedddd!! Cheer up!</p>
<p>Rush10, very few people get deferred. The acceptance rat early action is actually higher than the defer rate. So over 90% of applicants are either accepted or rejected</p>
<p>I think I saw some stats that showed that more students got deferred than rejected.</p>
<p>751 got accepted, 500 got deferred and all others rejected last year out of 5900.</p>
<p>1251/5900 is a lot better than 751/5900 though.</p>
<p>Can you do one that we can fill out now? Just to see what CC’s REA applicants look like statistically.</p>
<p>Most of the waitlisted folks are legacies according to some anecdotal data.</p>
<p>Well… hopefully I am the part of 700-800 REA students
What would be a “quota(I know, there isn’t)” for each state?</p>
<p>I am guessing around, in average, 10…? *For instance, Alaska(5 students), California (25 students) ?</p>
<p>If I get deferred, I’m just going to consider it a rejection. I’ll submit updated awards and whatever, but my grades are pretty much staying the same, as is the rest of my application, so if they don’t accept me REA when I’m bleeding all over myself telling them they’re my first choice, then I’ll just have to move on and put my all into my other 3 colleges. That was a really long sentence.</p>
<p>the final pool usually is 40 percent californian. So it won’t be surprising if 300+ californians are in the SCEA.</p>
