REA Class of 2018 Applicants' Discussion Thread

Colleges & Universities Stanford University
1201

<p>Quick reminder guys that both now and after you receive your response you can add your input to our letter here:
<a href=“https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11jarERmCF8__3-Sb7U9Uy0Ig5ow7ivNwe-PNlygqcc8/edit?usp=docslist_api[/url]”>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11jarERmCF8__3-Sb7U9Uy0Ig5ow7ivNwe-PNlygqcc8/edit?usp=docslist_api&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m trying not to spam the link but the more responses we can get, the better. @Bulldog2017 if you would add some input here I think it’s would be very valuable (and very appreciated) as well. I’ve been reading the responses people have given and it has definitely helped keep me calm and composed these last couple days. </p>

<p>Finally, we still need input as to when the responses should be posted in letter form. Shall it be tomorrow night or next year? Both perhaps? I’m letting you guys decide.</p>

1202

<p>I propose May 1, 2014 (National Decision Day).</p>

1203

<p>@Bulldog2017 When I started reading that acceptance I got almost the same feeling of euphoria that I guess I would feel if I got accepted. Thanks so much for your incredibly helpful input by the way.</p>

<p>In addition, I’d like to add that we better surpass the 200+ pages of last year’s Stanford SCEA thread or I will be sorely disappointed.</p>

<p>Here’s to hoping for acceptances for everyone tomorrow and for me getting post #1234 on the thread! Oh and @BIGZB17 sorry I just use “guy” as a third person ambiguous gender pronoun.</p>

1204

<p>Bahaha! No hard feelings. =p
Best of luck to you (with your post number goal as well as your Stanford decision)!</p>

1205

<p>I’m gonna throw up oh my god I just want this to be over and done with pleeaaaase</p>

1206

<p>Less than 200 pages. Any possibility that fewer students applied SCEA this year?</p>

1207

<p>okay now I’m worried again GAH!</p>

1208

<p>@BIGZB17 Thanks! You too!</p>

<p>@phantomboy there is hope so there is a possibility.</p>

1209

<p>Oh and here are a few bad puns with Stanford and Middle Eastern countries to help alleviate stress:
Afganistanford
Turkmenistanford
Uzbekistanford
Kazakhstanford (lol Borat’s dream college)
Pakistanford
Kyrgyzstanford
Tajikistanford</p>

<p>Stupid, I know. But it’s better than stressing and worrying.</p>

1210

<p>@tastydoge I live in Bangalore. I go to Indus International. Do you do the IB in Jamnabai?</p>

1211

<p>Competing with fewer applicants is not always a good thing… We could have more talented (but less in number) students than last year…if that makes sense.
Also, I feel like Stanford prides itself on its low acceptance rate, meaning that with fewer applicants, we would be more likely to get rejected in their attempt to maintain their low acceptance rate.</p>

1212

<p>well on the bright side QUEEN BEY HAS GRACED US WITH A SURPRISE ALBUM</p>

1213

<p>@sitararamesh, Yup. Math HL, ECO HL, BM HL. Hindi SL. Lit SL, BIO SL.
42/42 predicted :smiley: :smiley: :D</p>

1214

<p>I do Math HL, Eco HL, Physics HL, Lit SL, Spanish ab and Chem SL. 42/42 is great! I got a 41/42 (I’m hate reading books, so English is my weakness)</p>

1215

<p>i’m 99% sure that the stanford applicant facebook group that the cha lky founder started is the reason for the relatively low number of posts on here</p>

1216

<p>Sorry about this</p>

1217

<p>But I need to get</p>

1218

<p>The first of my two goals</p>

1219

<p>Post #1234 !!! Success. Now for the enormously more difficult second goal of Stanford.</p>

1220

<p>Good luck to everyone! I know that getting denied from Stanford isn’t the end of the world, but I will be greatly disappointed if that was to be the case in a couple of hours. If only we could all get in :p.</p>
