***Stanford Class of 2019 Applicant Discussion***

I’d pick Stanford over berkeley simply because I like the location better and smaller class sizes

I just wanna go back to my junior year and fix my gpa…

@fdizzle‌ yeah you’re probably right. It just helps to pretend there’s some sense to it, haha.

@fdizzle‌ as for being nervous and scared… you got into JH, I think you’re doing alright. :slight_smile:

rejected from usc and basically all the good UC’s so idk why I’m holding out hope for stanford lol the heart wants what it wants i guess

HI I’M NEW I got rejected from my dream school (NYU) and tbh I cried haha, but hi. I’m redirecting my energy to this here forum :blush: Did i miss anything important?

@nativeamerikat No, you’re just in time for the “I’m panicking” posts to start lol. I’ve been through several of these now, and the funnest stage is when our nerves fray and we start reading into small things( “the url looks different”, “I refreshed my page and I SWEAR the margins changed from 1 inch to 1.1 inches”, and at 3:00:38 “it’s been 38 seconds and I haven’t received my decision so that must mean they rejected me” and of course the “OMG THE WAIT IS KILLING ME”). So hang around. It gets fun :stuckouttonguewinkingeye:

@nativeamerikat hiii and welcome aboard on this ship full of stanford hopefuls…wow got a lil poetic… anyway hi again

@InfinityMan‌ Hahaha the margins :3 The scariest part is when everyone starts dropping like flies one by one, and you’re just waiting for your email to come, but you’re too scared to check because everyone is like “rejected brb crying”

@cvelie‌ one way ticket to fun town

AW CRAP IT’S ALL MESSED UP :frowning:

@arabm2‌ YOU HAD ONE JOB

@nativeamerikat cha cha slides away from responsibilities :mrgreen:

literally pressed all the buttons on the keyboard for that emoji

Does anyone else freak out when they are rejected or waitlisted to schools much worse than Stanford?

@nativeamerikat Yes! The worst is when you see the first line of the email next to the subject line before you open it and it says “Thank you for the interest in XY College” and you just die a bit inside lol

@arabm2‌ As soon as I read “cha cha” ethnic music started playing in my head and now it won’t go away. DUDE I KNOW THE EMOJI FEELS

@Tdub365‌ I just figure it’s either I’m overqualified or my major was competitive to make myself feel better :slight_smile:

@InfinityMan‌ When I got rejected from NYU last night, it was during the first wave of rejections and waitlists, and I saw “New York University Admissions Office” and I literally covered my mouth and whispered to myself “…oh no…”

It was pretty dramatic.

Lolol @nativeamerikat‌ Yessss

@arabm2 only the legs are off…the face and the bod look gooooood

@tdub365 oh yes! i try to comfort myself by saying that those other schools that i was rejected from didn’t have holistic admissions and that my financial needs were a huge factor in the decisions…it doesn’t really help tho and probably isn’t that true but it’s good at keeping me saneish and less stressed outish ish ish

@Tdub365‌ Is Stanford your number one?
