<p>I applied ED but had very little information on how to apply, supplementary materials, financial certification, resume, mid year report etc. (I’m international btw) plus i got new SAT2 scores etc etc.</p>
<p>Can I apply Regular again?
Please Reply ASAP Deadline in 8 Hours!</p>
<p>First of all Stanford doesn’t have ED (early decision), they have EA (early action.) And no you cannot apply Regular Decision if you already were denied admission.</p>
<p>This is what the school says:
“1. Applicant is admitted and has until May 1 to respond to the admission offer
2. Applicant is denied and can not reapply for Regular Decision admission in the same year
3. Applicant is deferred to the Regular Decision round, where he/she will receive a final decision by April 1” </p>
<p>Sorry.
Hope this helped!</p>
<p>My son was also rejected ED to Stanford. Not sure what it takes to get into a school like that but I believe it has much to do with ec’s and leadership. My son is incredibly smart, but as parents we decided to keep him “normal”, not push him ahead any grades, not force him to do research at the age of 10 and really wanted him to have a normal childhood, is that a bad thing??? His potential is incredible and is seen by teachers and peers as one of the smartest kids around. Not a 4.0 (3.95) so not going to be valedictorian but is a National Merit semifinalist (scored 232 both times he took it), finished college Calc III at a large local U at the end of his junior year, scored 2220 on the SAT, got a 33 both times he took the ACT, is in the top 6-7% of his class of 500+, was homecoming king (so it shows he is normal and well liked), is on math team, NHS, did quiz bowl, has gone on 2 mission trips and going on a 3rd one this summer, is in a scrabble club, loves ultimate frisbee and is a above average golfer (although only did golf team one year due to his college math commitment), takes as many AP classes as he can, scored 5’s on the 4 AP exams he has taken and will take 4 more AP exams this spring… Does anyone think he has a chance to get into Northwestern, Notre Dame, Boston College or Harvard? The thing he is lacking are leadership positions but is that so horrible at 17 years old? Doesn’t he have his whole life to be a leader? Just wondering what you all think.</p>
<p>Anwering the question: Yes. Sometimes the lack of leadership positions affect decisions more than one can think. But as any other smart kid out there your son has a good chance at those schools. Also, Does he have a job? Does he has community service? How many hrs? That affects too.</p>
<p>Not to be snarky, because I’m sure you mean well, but there are plenty of normal valedictorians… even valedictorians that are homecoming kings! Schools like Stanford are hard to get in even for handsome valedictorian homecoming king football players with 2400s on the SAT, so don’t worry about your son. He’ll be fine.</p>
<p>5835, top 6% and 33 won’t get most into Stanford unfortunately.</p>
<p>okay away from the tangent and back to the original posters question…
NO
you may not apply regular, you were rejected, you can apply next year or transfer from a different college</p>
<p>Thanks for the input everyone. I guess I didn’t know that top 6% and 33 on the ACT wasn’t good enough for Stanford. (he has other things to add to the table but no need repeating those). The ranges they give online insinuate that those numbers are good enough but I guess I am mistaken. Oh well. My son is just fine about not getting in and has moved on to looking at other colleges. I certainly didn’t mean to imply that all valedictorians are abnomal by my earlier comments. I was just trying to say that when parents have smart kids they tend to get all weird about it and want to turn them into doctors by the time they are 10. I was just saying that we opted to take a more “traditional” route for our son and allow him to be with kids his age and try to challenge him in less intense ways. I don’t think the current generation has enough down-time and doesn’t really know how to relax and I didn’t want my son to feel pressured to pursue too much too soon. We’re only here once and everyone just needs to relax a little bit. I believe that the kids who get into Stanford and other similar schools certainly deserve it and have made the sacrifices necessary and have done the work needed to be accepted. I mean no disrespect to any of them or their parents either. Good luck to all of you applicants! By the way, yes my son works and he also tutors kids in various subjects and does some volunteer work.</p>
