<p>I completely agree with your sentiment. I come from a pretty noncompetitive school in Oregon. Interestingly, Stanford is an “entity,” but few people seem to understand the difficulty or weight of getting in. There are a few people in general at my school who keep bringing it up to me and who sincerely say that I have no chance of not getting in. Of course, maybe I’ll prove them right, but, statistically speaking, there’s an 88% chance EA that I won’t be admitted, and I hate to think about how to tell people if I indeed do not get accepted.</p>
<p>You guys reckon Australia is underrepresented? :P</p>
<p>I don’t think it is honestly. I’m sure plenty of people from a close American friend and a well developed country would have many people applying to American schools just as many Americans apply to Uk schools.</p>
<p>@bleach340: you just crushed a dream, but you are probably more than correct</p>
<p>Crushed a dream? I have as much chance as you…</p>
<p>I’m a Californian, live in sacramento ;)</p>
<p>Hm, lots of new people posting. To curb your stress, enjoy this fantastic playlist. </p>

<p>Texas is pretty represented, yes?</p>
<p>I live right across the bay to Stanford hehe</p>
<p>I’m from Minnesota and sometimes it feels like I’m the only one applying in the entire state, LOL. I’m definitely the only one from my school.</p>
<p>how can you check on naviance how many people have applied to a certain school?</p>
<p>After feeling all sad that I didn’t have a hook, I realized- I actually do have one! I’m technically a first generation college student. My dad never went to college and my mom barely graduated from community college, BUT I still come from a middle-class white family in California.</p>
<p>Will this still be a hook for me?</p>
<p>(I do have conformation that Stanford defines first generation as one whose parents have not attended a FOUR YEAR university which neither of my parents have)</p>
<p>This playlist is saving my sanity.</p>
<p>Just checked Naviance, apparently 50 people from my school are applying in total :o
I’m pretty sure very few for SCEA though.</p>
<p>@no: Go to colleges -> Acceptance History -> Stanford</p>
<p>Yeah ours are not updated, they still have last years data :(</p>
<p>A few questions for the well-informed…</p>
<p>Can anyone confirm that Stanford bases admission on regions? i.e. If someone is from the east coast or midwest, do they have a better chance than someone in the bay area? How many REA applications do you guys think come in from outside of the West Coast region?</p>
<p>Well i’m representing the east coast, north east specifically, so you can account for at least one!</p>
<p>I’m from The Midwest, Michigan to be exact. Only two other people that I know of applied EA to Stanford, both were girls.
As someone mentioned earlier, people here don’t seem to understand how difficult it is to get in. Everyone keeps saying I shouldn’t worry and won’t get rejected, but I don’t have any fantastic hooks, I’m just a first gen. Not sure how well the Midwest is represented though</p>
