Official Stanford SCEA 2017 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>GUYS ARGGHHH. I’m really calm at times (like abnormally so) and then I suddenly get overcome with emotions and worryyyyyyyy fdsafasfdas.</p>

<p>Relax, dear friend. God Bless You!</p>

<p>To all physics lovers. What do you guys plan on doing? I want to be an aerospace engineer and start my own space startup like SpaceX or Orbital sciences.
@angel: I know the feeling. We’re all there with you! Just try to think of other things.</p>

<p>I love Physics, but don’t really have any plans on going into any fields relating to it… who knows, though. :)</p>

<p>Physics lover here. I plan on majoring in mechanical engineering and have dreams of revolutionizing the automotive industry. I just love the applications physics/calculus have and how useful both subjects are</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So that train of thought didn’t really consist of an argument that addressed my argument in a rational way with values I accept. Bliss, love, and peace should be for all.</p>

<p>Now to clarify. I love Jesus, from what I gather he was an enlightened and very loving man who brought a new wave to humanity. However, I also love Buddha, and his beautiful teachings. I love Krishna, and the teachings of the Ved. Etc. My issue is not with Jesus, it is with the text, the bible, that has been formed and that now the religion is based off of. I do not think Jesus would think modern translations of the bible are an accurate translation of his message. Time and corruption has ruined Christianity all but to it’s very core, a message of love. Everything else, even the words of the bible, often no longer reflect what I believe to be Jesus’s true teachings. And this, makes those on spiritual journeys faced with an even greater task, unifying all the initially seemingly contradicting elements in creation. Ignoring things to try and keep a paradigm, does not bring us closer to truth. And so, in my opinion and based on my experiences, the eastern religions teachings and texts, such as buddhism and hinduism, have been maintained and kept much closer to this true message.</p>

<p>CS Major :D</p>

<p>Ho, ho, ho…</p>

<p>Shake it up, shake up the happiness
Wake it up, wake up the happiness
Come on all, it’s Christmas time</p>

<p>Oh wow… I just got slightly depressed… The largest project I’ve worked on over the past couple of years is a type of networking application. It’s definitely not complete, but has a decent amount of functionality I’ve programmed into it. I just pulled down the most recent copy of the database to see if they ever made an account and signed in… and they didn’t… That means they couldn’t of even looked at the project I’m most proud and excited about working on right now… Now sadly, I hope this isn’t the reason why, but I haven’t purchased and setup and SSL certificate despite it being an https enabled site, so you get one of those browser warnings when you go the URL. This is okay for now, since it isn’t being used by anyone, but I hope that didn’t drive them away… </p>

<p>Could this just be a policy, that they don’t check outside materials from the application? At this point I guess I just have to trust in the process.</p>

<p>@hagin, they generally don’t look at outside materials. I wouldn’t worry. </p>

<p>Besides, home stretch.</p>

<p>You run track?</p>

<p>The home stretch is simultaneously the most invigorating and miserable part of a mid to long distance race.</p>

<p>Do you run track hagin?</p>

<p>yes bobby, u?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Sounds about right.</p>

<p>And no, but I ran cross country all through middle school and in 9th grade. Then I killed my knee :(</p>

<p>I am really stressed, but I’m also in shock that I find out tomorrow… so for now I will just distract myself by watching Scandal (please tell me someone else watches this show)</p>

<p>Holocene took an arrow in the knee =(</p>

<p>^hahahhahahaha</p>

<p>Ouch Holocene. Happens to the best of us :confused: I had osgood schlatters when I was younger. Still have the bumps.</p>

<p>Sounds like a scandalous show meow…</p>

<p>AHHHHH! My friend just got in Harvard!!! I’m so depressed…</p>

<p>To the past discussion of Coachella: I was there too! Best weekend ever.</p>

<p>In other news, I am feeling very insecure right now about everything.</p>
