Official Stanford SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>

LOL this is exactly my lit class too. I remember last year the only difference between val/sal was that our val didn’t have that teacher for lit and the other did…sal got a B in the hard class and val got an A with the easier teacher.</p>

<p>I’m aiming to get an A still…gotta push.</p>

<p>Also whoever mentioned Pomona, they are my second choice as well :D</p>

<p>Accepted: Look At Me Now
Deferred: Meet Me Halfway
Rejected: Someone Like You</p>

<p>@Plasticbag80 Don’t worry so much over that. I’m pretty sure you’re a good student who can get it up to an A. But on the other hand it kinda reminded me of this [smartest</a> kid in class purposely gets a b so doesn’t have to do valedictorian speech - Socially Awkward Penguin | Meme Generator](<a href=“http://memegenerator.net/instance/11982011]smartest”>http://memegenerator.net/instance/11982011)</p>

<p>@Plasticbag80 I’m pretty sure all of us do that when we get a B :slight_smile: although I’ve been in that situation before, and I just looked at it as a matter of if I was learning more in the B class.</p>

<p>But seriously, I wouldn’t be too worried about it. I highly doubt the adcom would see the one B senior year and say “oh, I guess I can’t admit that person now”. I’m just trying to make sure I have the best app possible, that’s the only reason behind my effort.</p>

<p>@kimchee1212 That list is perfect. Especially the Someone Like You selection. Anyone else see the SNL skit with that song?</p>

<p>And I’m not sure about accepted or deferred, but I know if I get rejected it would be Chicago by Sufjan Stevens. I figure I should move on as quickly as possible haha.</p>

<p>rush10, i want you to be my prospective roommate, just because you listen to young the giant.</p>

<p>Accepted: Holiday (Vampire Weekend)
Deferred: Someday (The Strokes)
Rejected: Change Your Mind (The Killers)</p>

<p>All of my B’s have been one point away from being A’s :frowning: It’s so sad…</p>

<p>Haha that’s the only song of theirs I listen to though. What songs would you recommend? Edit: My Body is really good, gotta love Spotify!</p>

<p>Hopefully I’ll meet all of you guys at Stanford as the class of 2016 :)</p>

<p>@Rush10 admit weekend meetup?</p>

<p>Oh jeez. I really need to stop getting this far ahead of myself. At this rate, by Friday I might already be planning move in weekend.</p>

<p>Accepted: Headlines (Drake)
Rejected: Who Says (Selena Gomez)</p>

<p>I love how we all have similar music tastes. Anyone else finding themselves getting addicted to spotify? As much as I don’t want to pay for it, I really really want premium</p>

<p>The thing is I won’t even be sal because of my school’s skewed way of figuring out valedictorian and salutatorian.
Anyways thanks for the uplifting comments, though I know I wont get an A, I’ve made myself realize its okay. I’m just a bit upset that my teacher never explained how to write essays for Lit and how they are different from Lang, he just expects us to be good writers without him ever teaching us anything.</p>

<p>On a different note, I think we should all beat last year’s thread so that even if we get rejected, we’ve all accomplished something together :D</p>

<p>Spotify is quickly becoming my life. I usually have Spotify and a browser window open to Pitchfork whenever I’m on a computer anymore.</p>

<p>What’s admit weekend? </p>

<p>I checked the 2015 thread earlier today, and at this point, they had 5,000 posts…</p>

<p>Hey all! I’ve been following this thread for like a week, just kinda stumbled upon it. Told myself that I wouldn’t write but I can’t resist! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who is now (nervously) awaiting Friday (haha btw, thanks for that, I was all set waiting for next Thursday but now I’m anxious for Friday!) I wish you all the best of luck :)</p>

<p>Yea we are not even close to last years thread</p>

<p><a href=“https://admit.stanford.edu/pdf/handbook.pdf[/url]”>https://admit.stanford.edu/pdf/handbook.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Our school has like…20 valedictorians and 20 saluds. it’s weird…
I’d love to meet all of you!
We should film our reactions to the decision, haha.</p>

<p>I don’t understand Shakespeare. Oh, Hamlet.</p>

<p>Wait, so is it most probable that decisions will be sent out by this friday instead of next thursday?</p>

<p>^yeah, friday seems to be more probable.</p>

<p>^ Yea</p>

<p>And if you guys haven’t already, please pledge!

<p>It’ll be very interesting to put the results into a spreadsheet and crunch some data (at least about the objective stuff).</p>
