Official Stanford SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>What state are you from dapotatoman?</p>

<p>If you guys like Death Cab and Coldplay, listen to Mat Kearney or Young the Giant. Both are slightly less famous but just as good.</p>

<p>Life’s too short to even care at all
I’m losing my mind losing my mind losing control</p>

<p>Ahhh… I love Young the Giant! I’ll give Mat Kearney a shot. Any song suggestions?</p>

<p>You guys do know that the band Young the Giant came out of Stanford, right? Sameer, the lead singer, was in my uncle’s fraternity! :D</p>

<p>(BTW, I love their music too. Especially their old stuff when they were the Jakes)</p>

<p>I am from Idaho.</p>

<p>Mat Kearney is a boss too! So far the music taste of people going into Stanford seems great (minus the Nickelback part).</p>

<p>Some of the best artists in my opinion:
City and Colour
Sigur Ros
Explosions in the Sky
Citizen Cope
Iron and Wine
Hans Zimmer</p>

<p>And this is how I feel every time Nickelback comes out with a new album:
[MIB</a> meets the Aliens Guy | The Meta Picture](<a href=“http://themetapicture.com/mib-meets-the-aliens-guy/]MIB”>http://themetapicture.com/mib-meets-the-aliens-guy/)</p>

<p>Nickelback is BEAST!!!</p>

<p>What song will you listen to if you are accepted?</p>

<p>I will listen to Pixie Lott- All About Tonight</p>

<p>Nickelback is the worst…</p>

<p>Amen Lilshowstoppa, amen. Haha no offense StanfordCS, but I just can’t stand them at all.</p>

<p>Nickelback is the greatest!!! </p>

<p>Death Cab for Cutie sucks.</p>

<p>dapotatoman, I was hoping you would say Texas! There’s tons of private and public schools that are automatic admission if you’re in the top 10%.</p>

<p>

ha, cool question. Maybe California Gurls by Katy Perry. The music video was like 2/3 of my motivation to apply. If I show up in Palo Alto and can’t find any gummy bear armies or supermodels wearing pastry brassieres, I will be disappointed to say the least.</p>

<p>Do you think the adage “90% of the girls in California are hot, and the other 10% go to Stanford” is true? I wonder how hot the girls at Stanford are.</p>

<p>Hi guys, been watching this forum. Waiting is no fun.</p>

<p>I live in California, and by no means are 90% of the girls here hot…</p>

<p>dapotatoman - iowa state online app - two days turn around, no transcript or SAT scores need to be sent, self reporting.</p>

<p>“Do you think the adage “90% of the girls in California are hot, and the other 10% go to Stanford” is true? I wonder how hot the girls at Stanford are.” </p>

<p>That line was said at Michigan for decades and it is incredibly crude and sexist. With an attitude like that it isn’t make much of a differnce if the girls are hot or not because they aren’t going to be interested in you. Time to put the adage to rest.</p>

<p>Oh, trust me, I definitely get my share. ;)</p>

<p>Texaspgs, thanks for the recommendation! I hate to be a snob, but are there any a notch above Iowa State :wink: I am thinking something comparable to UVM.</p>

<p>If you had to rate Stanford girls on a scale of 1 to 10 based on hotness, what would you rate the school?</p>
