Official Stanford SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>Know I applied? Or I know who’ve applied?</p>

<p>Well most of my friends in school know I’ve applied.</p>

<p>And just one other Indian student from my grade has applied to Stanford with perfect IB grades 45/45, and a 2210 SAT super-score.</p>

<p>Besides that I think another 7-8 students must’ve applied to Stanford from Dubai.</p>

<p>Everybody in my family knows I’ve applied to Stanford. </p>

<p>I don’t know who else from my school applied to Stanford.</p>

<p>Oh, yeah, the aztec91 guy was a Hispanic applicant, so he was a URM.</p>

<p>That would make sense “aztec” (:</p>

<p>My dad got a letter telling him they acknowledged my legacy status, and said that legacy applicants typically have a 3x admit rate. Does legacy really help that much?</p>

<p>I didn’t think it had that much of an affect on an applicant’s chances, but I might be wrong.</p>

<p>true, but spurious correlation for the most part.
Stanford legacies by definition come from well-educated families and have “smart genes” making them more likely to do well on standardized tests, etc.</p>

<p>Please tell me you do not actually know that entire acceptance letter</p>

<p>Yes, I know most if not all of it.</p>

<p>@StanfordCS
you thoroughly frustrate me beyond belief. and no, im not jealous…</p>

<p>Okay, then, sorry.</p>

<p>You know, you could just ignore my posts, so you can avoid frustration.</p>

<p>i hope decisions come out early again, like the 8th or the 9th</p>

<p>Me too. But, I won’t lie, I may have a heart attack.</p>

<p>How will they let you know? I know they send an email, but will there be a link in the email which the student clicks, and it will bring them to their admissions decision?</p>

<p>@nerdyjock: your post is from a couple pages back but thanks for your advice. Reciting the first line of the rejection letter actually helps although it is depressing o.o;</p>

<p>@stanfordcs I’m def jealous, I thought I wanted to go to stanford more than anyone but you win</p>

<p>No need to be jealous. I may get rejected and you may get accepted, then who wins?</p>

<p>lol i wouldnt worry about that. reading over the descisions post from last year has convinced me i have a 0% chance</p>

<p>Wow. I feel abnormal. I kind of don’t feel much emotion over anticipating my decision right now, but that may just be because I’m so busy working on other apps and not thinking about Stanford at the moment. Anyone else feel like this?</p>

<p>I wish I felt like that Apoc314.</p>

<p>@jdlace, Have FAITH, you never know. People you would think would get accepted end up rejected, and people you think would be rejected end up getting accepted. Just have faith!</p>

<p>@Apoc314, no, not even close</p>
