<p>@txn I was wondering the same thing :)</p>
<p>it’s a little outdated, but stanford takes a lot (87, class of 2013) of texans -according to the data. at least compared to other states besides CA.</p>

<p>Is this just because California is a big state or is it because they prefer people who are in the same state as the university?</p>
<p>hmm that’s interesting, thank you juggernot! I feel like thats pretty high… but then again Texas does have tons of people applying so it’s hard to say.</p>
<p>Hahha ya lol… just curious what are your basic stats txn :)</p>
<p>I’m from California, but moved to Texas recently. My own opinion is that for the UC schoos, it is easy for OOS. Pretty much…everyone I know from my Texas school who applied to UCs last year got accepted; Few actually went. It’s so much more expensive for OOS though!
I don’t think it makes a difference for private schools.</p>
<p>umm I got a 2200 on sat

<p>so ya, there you go!</p>
<p>@jinglebell So which do u like better??choose your words carefully!! Lol</p>
<p>^hahaha Texas pride at its finest!</p>
<p>@txn wow!!I hope u get in! 
of what ethnicity are you? And what part of texas are u in hahahaha</p>
<p>haha thanks! I’m white… which doesn’t help 
but it’s okay! I’m still being hopeful, even though it’ll be a miracle if I get in. I’m from Houston, what about you?</p>
<p>Its practically a miracle and a dream for all of us! O and I’m in austin! u have the right attitude! Hopefully we will see each other at Stanford hahaha</p>
<p>oh hey I’m from Houston too 
that’d be cool! haha</p>
<p>I’m Asian. Which…doesn’t really help either.</p>
<p>True that, it’s such an amazing experience if you do get accepted! And ahh nice, Austin is an awesome city. hopefully it’ll work out and we’ll both end up there!</p>
<p>Oh and I read last year that they were calling the day of Admissions decisions the “Stanford Slaughter” because of all the rejections, which really made me laugh!</p>
<p>This year I’m predicting it will be known as the “Stanford Stunfest” with a 100% acceptance rate lol</p>
<p>Ahh nice where in Houston?!? And ya… being asian or white doesn’t really help much at all at big schools like this.</p>
<p>Lol I’m white too… what ethnicity would help?</p>
<p>^ Pretty much anything other than white or Asian</p>
<p>LOL for Asians: [Some</a> Asians’ college strategy: Don’t check ‘Asian’ - Yahoo! News](<a href=“http://news.yahoo.com/asians-college-strategy-dont-check-asian-174442977.html]Some”>http://news.yahoo.com/asians-college-strategy-dont-check-asian-174442977.html)</p>
<p>but what if you’re a ‘minority’ asian? say, singaporean. do they differentiate? or would they be grouped with the majority, the koreans, chinese, and everyone else?</p>
