Official Stanford SCEA 2017 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>how hard is it to get in to caltech engineering compared to getting into stanford???</p>

<p>oh god ***
You’re all demonspawn. This was all some sort of algorithmic trick</p>

<p>I HATE calc so much. It’s was the source of 75% of stress my junior year. got a 4 on calc AB and I was honestly lucky at that</p>

<p>I feel like disowning all of you now</p>

<p>@norwhale: :)) yea I love math. but I’m struggling in BC >,<~ Regret skipping AB in the first place.
@coffee: LOL somehow it sounds wonderful to me… admitted students weekend TT__TT</p>

<p>@SAT128 We understand each other
@jkIVYleague I feel like getting into Caltech engineering is could be slightly harder than Stanford because it’s such a “specific” school, know what I mean? But Stanford has tons of applicants, so it all evens out</p>

<p>@SAT128 No stress no stress. Only reason I did well was because of a hard ass teacher
@coffeeandtea Great idea I would do it
@Justinnie Yeah, we did a ton of AB stuff, helped a lot</p>

<p>My essay had a limit of 600 words… I stopped at 599 without even trying. I think that means it’s time to be done and get some sleep.</p>

<p>My essay has to be atleast 5 pages. Sooo yeah I’m screwed</p>

<p>goodnight though. Get some sleep if you can manage it</p>

<p>Done with my essay, put I don’t sleep till at least 2am</p>

<p>oh lol it’s 3:28 here in texas
Definitely not sleeping tonight</p>

<p>@norwhale: Yeah, I probably won’t actually get to bed for a while, but it’s always worth a try! </p>

<p>Try to get some rest you guys!</p>

<p>yea make sure you get enough sleep you guys. since we will be refreshing stanford page tmr ;)</p>

<p>@SAT128 Good luck. I forgot about the time zone
@coffeeandtea Catch you later</p>

<p>@Justiniee Not me haha, I’ll just wait until other applicants from my school tell me</p>

<p>@norwhale: haha no one knows I applied to stanford besides my two best friends so… xD I will stay up late tomorrow to study for Bio anyways :))</p>

<p>@Justiniee I feel you, sometimes it’s better to keep these things private. Good luck! Where are you from anyways?</p>

<p>Just curious, but do you guys think your chances are strong for Stanford? Like are you all around comfortable, or have some major gaps in your stats?</p>

<p>Vietnam right?</p>

<p>@norwhale: Yea… especially when there are so many people in my school applying to stanford this year.
I live in LA :)</p>
