<p>haha I guess living in California has its advantages (access to the best public university in America, maybe the world) and several GREAT private schools as well. it would be great to return to one of the few places in america that I really enjoyed in my lifetime! 
</p>
<p>Anybody here a early colleger/dual enrollment-er?</p>
<p>I live on the East Coast, actually. I want to experience something completely new in college.</p>
<p>@orbdas hahaha my bad man, I just assumed wrong. And yea me too! I think I would love Stanford’s way of life cause I used to live close to campus and have been there a few times. I have lived all over the country but no where do i feel good than my current place and California. And its allways cool to live 3 timezones away from home hahaha ;)</p>
<p>matrixsurgeon: I have one duel enrollment class, but I think it’s different than standard duel enrollment. It’s taught at my school after school by a teacher who has the certifications to teach a college class, so I don’t actually go to another campus. </p>
<p>This is also the first year that my school has offered this because before, they actually highly recommended against duel enrollment because of how much stress the IB juniors/seniors are under. Ugh, they weren’t even exaggerating about the stress either because it’s not uncommon at all for students to pull all nighters. This week, my sleep schedule consisted of 4 hours, 4 hours, and 3 hours last night, and let me tell you that taking a practice IB history exam on 3 hours of sleep is not fun. </p>
<p>…bah, I talk too much when I don’t sleep. Anyone else have lots of students at their school applying to Stanford too? There are several at mine.</p>
<p>@orbdas: I’m in the same boat. I toured Stanford’s campus and it was stunning. A completely new experience for me. I would probably pick it over any university in the world — but I guess that’s why we’re all here. Where exactly on the East Coast are you? I’m in NJ.</p>
<p>Oh hey, fellow East Coasters! I’m from New York.</p>
<p>Did any of you submit an Arts Supplement? If so, do you know how they are reviewed during the admissions process?</p>
<p>I’m in MA. Hoping that being a Hispanic on the other side of the country will make me seem interesting to them, haha</p>
<p>@Dopamine, I submitted one for the drum set. I know that they are reviewed by the department to which they pertain, scored and commented upon, then the report is given to the admissions staff. I’ve heard that a low score has no impact on your chances of admission and a high score can have a very positive impact on your chances, especially if your talent is in demand at Stanford.</p>
<p>Greetings from that humid peninsula that everyone wants to saw off the US once in a while.</p>
<p>c8h11no2: I’m guessing they send the supplement to the correct department that then gets back to the admissions committee? I turned in a visual arts one and I emailed them about a question, and I think the person who replied said that they, not the committee, judged the supplement.</p>
<p>@orbdas Thank you so much. You seem like a unique, well-rounded, and exceptional student. I wish you the best of luck. 
</p>
<p>I submitted a supplement for photography. I got my first DSLR camera when I was in 3rd grade and have been snapping away ever since.</p>
<p>@Aegise Thanks for your reply! Let’s hope that Stanford could really use some artists.</p>
<p>Has anyone else submitted a drum set supplement? I would think that it’s one of the less common types of supplement they receive (as compared to piano/violin/visual arts, etc).</p>
<p>Anyone else on here from the Midwest?</p>
<p>@brogrammer17 yep! Chicago, Illinois .
@orbdas haha I understand your feeling . Hispanic from ^^^^^</p>
<p>Yes Brogrammer17 my student is a Midwestener and though student doesn’t have an CC account she does visit CC and maybe will join in soon. A sibling is on the Farm and very much cherishes the opportunity to be there. No less nerve wracking to apply as a sibling.</p>
<p>I too am from the midwest. Do you guys think that being so would serve as any type of advantage since most Stanford applicants probably come from the west coast or perhaps New England/East Coast places?</p>
<p>@everyone imma NCer… anybody here a NCer? haha, but technically one could call me a “-er” for like 6 states as I have lived in 6 states in my life haha. </p>
<p>@Aigese wow man seems rough…taking a dual enrollment ON TOP of IB… haha at my school folks take upwards of 18,19 college classes at the campus of the college itself with their professors and this is like sophmore year onwards too… and man…when people tell you from college that ur professor matters as much as the class you take in terms of how hard it is, they are SO RIGHT…some of the proffs at the college have too much high expectations and like to “scare” all the college students lolol… but to be honest, its a great experience, the dual enrollment. classes with only 3-4 exams a semester, maybe a paper or two and the final and your done… it eliminates pointless busy work in my opinion and places high importance on each test (test weeks are the most stressful times i HAVE EVERY SURVIVED haha) i swear one week, i had like 3 tests, 1 paper due and i had like a collective of 10 hours of sleep for the week.</p>
<p>and wow CCers on this thread are from allover the US…anyone think that being a Eastercoaster is an advantage for Stanford?</p>
<p>@Tspwt5 did you live in the same state when the sibling applied and was accepted? If so, what state are you from?</p>
<p>SD checking in here!</p>
<p>Anyone else applying from Nevada? I figured there would be a ton of people just because of the proximity to California but I haven’t seen anybody else from my lovely state haha</p>
<p>matrixsurgeon: Haha, I feel your pain when it comes to test weeks. </p>
<p>Even if being on the east coast was good, my Asianness could cancel that advantage out, ha. I’m not sure how many people in Florida apply to Stanford. There are quite a few at my school, but that’s skewed because IB around here tends to gather all of the high-achieving people in one place.</p>
