<p>but umm… i start school monday :(</p>
<p>78 posts left! </p>
<p>To stimulate some responses:</p>
<p>What state are you guys from?</p>
<p>California, though you could already tell that</p>
<p>^ I heard the competition’s stiff for California. Is this true?
Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Murrrryland. But not the really popular part (Baltimore/DC).</p>
<p>SO-CAL FTW(FTL actually)</p>
<p>Missouri. No where particularly exciting though.</p>
<p>At least it’s warm in so-cal. It’s like 12 degrees here.</p>
<p>I start school Monday too… I don’t know if I’ll have enough time to fix my sleep schedule hahah.</p>
<p>NC! It’s fairly warm here, but I bet So-Cal is warmer D:</p>
<p>Me on Tuesday. You guys are lucky; there has been a lot of snow on the East Coast this year.</p>
<p>I’m from Texas and it snowed TWICE in one year; usually it snows once in 2 years</p>
<p>missouri. same as anon</p>
<p>@Wangatang, hang out was not a success. 
We must hang out though.</p>
<p>I have no idea when school starts actually. If it’s tomorrow, I will not be there.
It’s snowed here way too many times to make me happy. Snow = Cold. SoCal = WARM.</p>
<p>@Rolandic, It’s snowed 4x as many times? That’s crazy. What do you think of snow?</p>
<p>anon: yesss we must. if you really want to plan something for all us EA rejects, i would definitely love to help plan!</p>
<p>Generally I like snow; since it rarely snows in Texas, whenever it does, we try to have fun with it, but I was too busy this year.</p>
<p>So you could say I like snow in controlled quantities, rather than a month of nonstop snow like in the New England Area (I hate the cold), so I guess Stanford works out, as there’s always Lake Tahoe to visit in the winter!</p>
<p>@darkblademaster</p>
<p>I think more people apply from California to Stanford but they counteract that by accepting roughly 40% of their class from CA. So, I think competition is roughly equal with the rest of the country for us Californians</p>
<p>@Rolandic - Don’t remind me how Stanford weather is perfect I’m not going to see it for at least 4 years. Just kidding. I’m sure I could visit or something :)</p>
<p>@Xargon42, yeah, I actually think it might be easier to get into Stanford from CA? I mean, they spent like half their supplement asking if you’ve ever lived in CA. I don’t think it’s a significant amount though, especially since CA kids are crazy and always win a ton of awards, and you guys have tons of people, and tons of them are smart. Like in USAMO, USABO, USABO, IPO, and all those things, everyone is from CA.</p>

<p>You’re right; most high schools in/near Palo Alto are pretty intense. Although I think it’s more difficult for Californian Asians, simply because of the massive populations of (qualified) Asians there.</p>
<p>WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SCHOOLWORK.
I was almost afraid I missed #5000.</p>
<p>haha its all good canary. just survive 5 more months and you’ll be free 
and maybe we’ll be excitedly talking about how we’re going to the same school!!!.. its not wrong to have hope right? lol</p>
