<p>Yeah, let’s keep it up, guys!</p>
<p>I hate “Why do you want to go to XYZ College” essays. 'Cause I want to, that’s why! Now accept me.</p>
<p>I’m not liking the “sig’n issue” topic.</p>
<p>pace – pacers. chuckle.</p>
<p>:P soo tired.</p>
<p>what’s “sig’n issue”?</p>
<p>significant issue. too lazy to type.</p>
<p>lol wow the growth of this thread is amazing. lets find the derivative of it lol. i am so glad i am finished with apps. what a relief. its just scholarship essays. and those essays are worse than the college essays where they ask you “why do you want to come to XYZ college.”</p>
<p>or yale’s “what in particular influenced you to apply to yale”</p>
<p>with their wording, you could respond with “I was influenced to apply to yale because i want to go to yale.”</p>
<p>derivatie of 1047 is 0. that was fast.</p>
<p>well if you want to find the derivative of the growth, not the number of posts, you would have to first find a function to describe the rate of the posts…</p>
<p>lol i was just joking… btw, how many have already been accepted to other colleges? how many colleges?</p>
<p>i’ve only applied to two other colleges so far - umich and berkeley. i just submitted my berkeley app like ten minutes ago. as for u of m, i was accepted. my parents reallllly want me to go to u of m. they don’t see any point in paying like 4 times the cost to go to stanford, and its fairly close to home. i won’t bother trying to convince them about stanford until i actually have the choice of attending.</p>
<p>Well, if Stanford mets your demonstrated financial need, you probably should go to Stanford!</p>
<p>the thing is, i don’t have a demonstrated financial need (two doctors as parents). i think they just use that as an excuse to keep me near to home. but in 2 years, my family will have 3 undergrads and 1 med student…so maybe we’ll have a demonstrated need then. if i didn’t check the box for that on the app, could i still apply for aid?</p>
<p>Good question. I think probably not. Call them up and ask?</p>
<p>i love calling stanford (not that i do it often…i guess i liked it all one times that i did it) i called them at 8 pm my time and they were still open.</p>
<p>nvm, you live in singapore…i think you know all too well about the time change thing…</p>
<p>Haha yeah. I suggest you call them asap to see if you can submit fin aid documents.</p>
<p>6-10 inches of snow by tomorrow=good chance of snow day=more time to work on apps</p>
<p>okay can someone tell me if they favor certain schools. b/c for the past 4 years NO ONE from my school has been accepted to an ivy/stanford/mit not even the valedictorians, so i am kind of worried. :S</p>
<p>You are going to buck that trend, Magerie.</p>
<p>nope, i heard they don’t. and even if they hate a school, i am sure they won’t reject person A if he/she has a stellar app.</p>
