<p>so i still haven’t gotten any email in my inbox/spam from stanford, and i’ve been checking constantly since last night</p>
<p>any ideas on what i should do?</p>
<p>Hey guys! Whether you were accepted/rejected/deferred, do any of you know anything about courtesy deferrals for legacies? I’m mildly worried this is why I was deferred…</p>
<p>Here is the article from the Stanford Daily about acceptances and deferrals. There are several legacies that were rejected, so be thankful if you received a deferral. They want to take a look at you again with the regular decision applicant pool. You had to do something right to get that opportunity. </p>
<p>[Stanford</a> Daily | Stanford admits 725 early applicants from record-breaking pool](<a href=“http://www.stanforddaily.com/2012/12/14/stanford-admits-725-early-applicants-from-record-breaking-pool/]Stanford”>http://www.stanforddaily.com/2012/12/14/stanford-admits-725-early-applicants-from-record-breaking-pool/)</p>
<p>Thank you sooo much Hagin!
Gosh I don’t know it’s all still so surreal… I was so are that I was gonna get rejected! It really still hasn’t even sunk in yet… Gosh… And honestly… I’m not entirely sure what I wanna do xD
I want to major in Linguistics (and maybe Bio?) but I don’t know where I want to go from there… I was thinking maybe to into Neurolinguistics? Idk… That sounds fun but hard xD
I’m not entirely sure… I just know I like language and foreign languages a lot! :3
What do you want to do?</p>
<p>@AngelOfSpeed omg same here I’m soooo excited!! I kinda feel less scared to be going now because it’s almost like I already know a few people going 
I feel like over this past week we’ve all bonded through this whole experience :3
(Even though I haven’t really posted much and I’ve kinda just been stalking you guys xD)
But lol I was kinda thinking the same thing! We should be friends on FB and become best buds in college!!! :3</p>
<p>@amy0827
AH! No! I love you!
No malicious intention, just a little crazy. Sorry to cause any emotional trauma in your fragile state 
And out of curiosity, what do you think you said to me that was offensive?</p>
<p>@bleach340
Not like you? Where did you come up with that crazy idea?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>CC will now destroy you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>These subjects are dope, and they’re more closely related then one would initially think.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes. Yes. Yes. Love it. Just don’t stress/not enjoy doing it, cause then it’s not worth it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Viva la vida is a great song, dyou like clocks?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ha. Ha. Ha ha. ha…</p>
<p>Thanks for the best wishes!</p>
<p>@castroyesid: YESS! Exactly We’ll be going there knowing some people which is really great. Can’t wait to meet you all at admit week hopefully!!
I’ll send you a PM with my fbk info.</p>
<p>ALSO MY ADMIT ACCOUNT FINALLY WORKS AND I’M SUPER HAPPY OVER MY FINANCIAL AID AWARD OMG YESSS.</p>
<p>So happy to be accepted here and I hope I get to meet you all!! :D</p>
<p>Question: Is there a Stanford REA Class of 2017 FB Group?</p>
<p>@AngeOfSpeed Yeah! I mean I already know a couple of people that go there, one person that graduated from my school another that would’ve, but she moved, but it’d be able to know lots of people before even going :3</p>
<p>And yeah!! who all is planning on attending Admit Weekend? I, personally CANNOT WAIT to go :3</p>
<p>And nice! Congrats! Idk… my parents are divorced, but my dad lives in a different country and kinda disappeared and doesn’t pay child support and I never talk to him or anything… and CSS is asking for a Non-Custodial Parent Profile… and so it shows no aid O<em>O
But we talked to the Financial Aid Office Before and we’re gonna get it all straightened out soon xD
Hopefully .</em>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My financial aid award is ****ing phenomenal. I have to pay 1/3 of what all of the calculators predicted. My mom cried tears of joy.</p>
<p>Hagin, great posts. I emailed you back.</p>
<p>@castroyesid Yeah I saw no award either, I’m a little nervous because I didn’t send in the CSS… I thought it was all FAFSA… will call Financial Aid office too haha</p>
<p>@castro: Yeah! That’s really awesome. Usually the only people from my school to get in are athletic recruits, so I don’t really know anyone, so it’s even more exciting for me to chill with you guys.</p>
<p>Thanks! And I’m in a veryyyyyyyyy similar situation to yours, and we basically sent them a couple letters explaining everything. But yeah, I’m sure just talking to them will get things sorted out as well =) The financial aid office is really friendly from what I heard!</p>
<p>Ohh and @AngelOfSpeed I haven’t replied to your PM cuz apparently I have to have posted at least 15 times here on CC to reply… and this is only my 14th post… xD</p>
<p>And <em>phew</em> it’s a relief to know that I can still get some aid xD (cuz I need it ._.)</p>
<p>Hey, message me for FB info to connect!</p>
<p>@Angel yeah… I didn’t really know the first person all that well because he was a senior my freshman year and I only knew him from band… he wasn’t even in my section though… but he was realllly smart so yeah xD
The other person was in band too - in my section and everything - and I’ve known her since I was in the seventh grade and she is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT… but no one athletic gets accepted… my school’s athletics kinda suck xD</p>
<p>@castro: OHHH lol no worries almost there!</p>
<p>Ahhh! I gotchu. I’m so happy guys! Gonna go get a haircut so ill be back later(:</p>
<p>Hehe yay! I passed 15 posts! I can reply to PM’s now! xD</p>
<p>I didn’t find a FB group yet.</p>
<p>@studencik88 I didn’t get in to Stanford, the school I’ve been dreaming of my entire life but you know what THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE DID MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS. You should be embarrassed that you’re making people feel as if they were accepted because they are URM or first generation when they were in fact accepted because of their own merit. I am first generation, I played two varsity sports, was an intern at a software company, was in two clubs at school, held various leadership positions, NMSF, and wrote four kicka** essay’s. OH and I know for a fact, my recommendation letters were awesome! BUT I DIDNT GET INTO STANFORD AND IM NOT CRYING OVER IT. Am I sad? Yes. BUT WHAT IS MAKING OTHER PEOPLE FEEL BAD GOING TO DO?! All you’re doing is justifying Stanford’s decision. Grow up.</p>
<p>Thanks haginrainbow! Like I said before you rock. I would have loved to hear your sarcasm in person but I guess that’ll be another university’s honor.</p>
