<p>I don’t see how Koreans are a majority. It would be Chinese and Indians.</p>
<p>Yes that is a good question! Hahaha now that I think about… what if you are a “minority” asian (singaporean, iranian, or any other small under represented asian country)?</p>
<p>Japanese?

<p>Another Texas hopeful here :D</p>
<p>OMG why so many people from Texas?
I iz also from Houston :/</p>
<p>What are your stats my fellow texans 
lol</p>
<p>So does anyone here play tennis?</p>
<p>Ya I wanna hear other Texan’s stats! and hmm I’m gonna have to say Harvard’s is better for that just because of their bigger endowment for research, which you can bend to fit your needs as an entrepreneur.</p>
<p>I would actually argue Stanford. Stanford pretty much epitomizes everything that has to do with entrepreneurship. Harvard may have the bigger endowment, but Stanford is always producing start-ups and even is forming “entrepreneurial clubs and societies” around campus!</p>
<p>Let’s make it a goal to hit 2011 comments:P That number is fitting for this year.</p>
<p>Though I don’t know if it’s possible… we’ve got at least 4 days to go for it.</p>
<p>SO.</p>
<p>Let’s talk. How do you all feel about Harry Potter vs. Twilight?</p>
<p>Harry Potter! Though I did go through an obsessive Twilight phase for a couple month during freshman year…</p>
<p>'Grats on breaking 100 pages, everyone :P</p>
<p>stanfordprid, thats awesome, I did too, main reason i want to to go to stanford the entrepreneurial atmosphere, now i wasn’t very successful but am relaunching it, and have four start ups coming (mainly websites) except one. I’m also part of another hopefully launching mid December. One is a product/research innovation one, which I believe if all goes well, could potentially be world changing and i have been working on it for years. As i said it is potentially world changing, things dont always work, and can get pretty hard… I just hope they realize i want to surround myself with people like me - people who want to make the most of this life, and become a share holder of the world. Because i really dont have any real encore thing to show for now. That’s pretty much what my essays were about. I still have my business its website is just not up and i want to relaunch it with a new name.</p>
<p>Plasticbag – exact same thing here (well, not valedictorian – no ranking here). Teacher is incredibly hard – could by my first B since 6th grade. </p>
<p>Pomona! I would run for them, too.</p>
<p>And +1 to Sufjan and Vampire Weekend.</p>
<p>Don’t be neurotic!</p>
<p>Stanford REA hopefuls who are lurking here: at least make yourself known (tell us something about yourself) and sign the REA pledge. You can give as much or as little info about yourself, but it is helpful to future REA-ers to see the variety of people Stanford lets in. </p>
<p>On another note, (and no disrespect to those who don’t observe): 10 days until vacation; 16 days until Christmas!</p>
<p>Okay, so, I was was reading “A for Admission” by a former Dartmouth adcomm, Michelle Hernandez and she worked at Dartmouth for 4 years. I found out all applicants do go to committee, however they have multiple committees. The committees are based on race and athletics. A top-tier school will have a seperate committee for recruited athletes, where they have the coach’s list of athletes the coach wants admitted. Then, the committee will review the athlete’s file, and offer a decision. Also, they have “minority recruitment” programs at top-tier schools, for African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans. They have seperate committees for each. The minorities go to differant committees than Asians and White applicants do. They will have a seperate committee for Hispanics, a seperate committee for African-Americans, and a seperate committee for Native Americans. The rest of the applicants, whites, asians, and internationals go to a differant commitee. They also have a committee for “VIP”, which is if you’re a celebrity or the son of the president of the U.S. Although, the “VIP” committee is rarely used becuase they don’t get many applicants who fall under this category. For example, Emma Watson, who played Hermione in Harry Potter, when she applied to Brown she would be viewed by the “VIP” committee becuase of who she is. The “VIP” committee will generally admit anyone that applies unless, they fall FAR BELOW academic standards. The “VIP” committee admits almost anyone is because, they know it will bring money and public interest into their institution. </p>
<p>So, taking this into consideration, they divide the apps up equally based on the premise above, then yes, all apps DO go to committee. So, they aren’'t reviewing all apps in ONE committee, but MULTIPLE committees. </p>
<p>This is what they do at Dartmouth, an Ivy League School. And, in my opinion, Stanford probably does it the same way.</p>
<p>So, if they divide them by race, then it really should take them long to go through ALL applications.</p>
<p>So, basically, Asians, Whites, and Internationals get compared with each other. While, minorities get compared with the same race minority. For example, a Native American will be compared to another Native American. Or, an African-American will be compared to another African-American. </p>
<p>In, modern English, Asians, Whites, and Internationals get the raw end of the deal.</p>
<p>MAN I HATE COLLEGE ADMISSION PROCESS!!!</p>
<p>I’m so glad you got this off your chest StanfordCS. Not that it makes any difference, but I’m sure it makes you feel better.</p>
<p>What if you have more than one ethnicity? I’m part Asian and part African American, so where would I fall? I’d imagine the African American pool. Also anyone else on here started their own business?</p>
<p>I think if you’re any part Asian, you would go into the Asian pool.</p>
<p>Does any one else know the anwer to my question? Because Im part asian and African American, if I go to the asian pool, I’m dead no chance at all. Seeing how its harder to get in if your asian. I think they should adopt a multiethnic.</p>
