Official Stanford SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>omg I had a dream that I checked the mail one day and found an acceptance letter from Stanford…woke up and was depressed for the rest of the day.</p>

<p>THEN I went to school yesterday and started talking to another girl in my class who is applying EA and happens to be ranked just behind me at #3… apparently she had the SAME DREAM ON THE SAME NIGHT!</p>

<p>I really hope this is a good sign and not just me going crazy…</p>

<p>^ You’re starting to sound like StanfordCS.</p>

<p>^ Hahahaha. It’s okay. I think we are all going crazy.</p>

<p>hahaha sorry! I can’t help what goes through my head when I’m asleep</p>

<p>getting in would just be a reallyyyyy nice early Christmas present (:</p>

<p>I have dreamt every possible scenario and I dream about that letter EVERY SINGLE night (as well as during class)… I wish they would just tell us already!</p>

<p>I’ve only had two dreams about Stanford:</p>

<ol>
<li>I got deferred.</li>
<li>My friend did this special application thing in which she got admitted. I told her the next day, and she exclaimed that she absolutely did NOT want to go to Stanford.</li>
</ol>

<p>I guess even in my dreams I’m not much of a dreamer…</p>

<p>Why would anyone not want to go to Stanford?!?</p>

<p>I’d be really proud of myself if I got deferred. Obviously I want an acceptance like the rest of you guys, but if they deferred me, I’d feel like they actually considered me and it’ll boost my ego a little(:</p>

<p>I don’t have dreams about it but I’m trying really hard to control my mind, preparing myself for the worst, haha.</p>

<p>How do you guys all balance a social life and school? For me…trying to balance these two causes me to be very sleep deprived x.x</p>

<p>I wonder what stage of review they’re at right now. Driving me crazy :p</p>

<p>Hmmmmm,</p>

<p>First admission -> Second admission -> Third admission -> Group discussion.</p>

<p>My paper: trash-canned @ First admission… :(</p>

<p>^ Under normal circumstances, I would say that’s a terribly pessimistic POV, except that’s exactly what I’m thinking too. At least we’ll be more emotionally stable when results are released.</p>

<p>^depends on the results. I’m gonna be completely devestated if I get rejected even though its extremely likely</p>

<p>@Rush10: YUP</p>

<p>@DreamOnForever: what are your course selections? TOK is bugging me so much right now I just want to give up. But now they have that stupid rule that says if you flunk either the official TOK paper or the extended essay you don’t get your diploma… did you do the orals yet? Ugh ugh.</p>

<p>@amaninakupenda: oh wow, whats that like? my school’s been doing the IB for 30 years or something, we’re the seventh school ever to have it… everyone takes it so seriously here sometimes it’s ridiculous.</p>

<p>I’ve read my supplement to Stanford approximately 40 times, but that’s about the end of my obsession… can’t concentrate on other apps though</p>

<p>@Avtrox: My friend is taking TOK (he’s not a diploma candidate) because we had such a good teacher for it last year. But this year they have some newbie teacher and he says its just a second English class :(</p>

<p>@Mochaswirl: My social life has deteriorated so much from junior year. Instead of going out and just chilling with friends, I usually just see them at academic activities. This way I can do both things at once :)</p>

<p>Let’s also start an EA pledge to post our admission results.</p>

<ol>
<li>Rush10</li>
</ol>

<p>I’m in:
2. nerdyjock</p>

<p>I don’t think posting that I got rejected from Stanford is going to be embarassing. I’m just happy that I am at least semi-qualified for such an incredible school.</p>

<p>I’ll post my results. </p>

<ol>
<li>Newtocollege</li>
</ol>

<p>And I bet we hit 1000 today.</p>

<p>Random question. Is being in NHS an honor/award or extracurricular? I’m vice president too.</p>
