<p>Thanks, liontreenlion. :)</p>
<p>Pinkberry! Oh, psh. Cherry on Top. :)</p>
<p>Haven’t tried Pinkberry yet…I have high expectations though based on your raving.</p>
<p>I don’t even know what these places are… east coast ignorance I suppose :)</p>
<p>Yeah there’s a Red Mango on University. Ten or so minutes away on a bike. </p>
<p>Edge goes to RM over PinkBerry.</p>
<p>I’ll have to learn how to bike then if I get in haha. </p>
<p>I can’t help feeling discouraged about this whole process since the acceptance rate is likely going to be 1-2% again this year (just a guess based on previous years’ rates). 2009 is the most competitive year ever for Stanford, with an anticipated record-high yield and on top of that, a housing crunch.</p>
<p>ok guys here is one for ya, what do u think.
I can potentially make 20 bucks an hour to work MWF. On Tues Thurs I am packed up with classes, and on MW i have one class. Its a ****ty class, the teaching is horrible, and I can potentially go to the school I want to (that I already got admitted to) if I can earn a good 8K before Fall begins. I dont want to pass this opportunity up because it is with a legal office too and it pays nicely for a student.
The class I am taking, both schools I got into said it was ok if I dropped it, especially since it is the only class on MW and that I am completely dissatisfied with it (I am earning a B or A tho). What do you think Stanford would do? The last day to drop is the 8th, and the admissions for S is on the 15th, but with a 99% chance of getting rejected should I even bother thinking about the what ifs for S?</p>
<p>I rationalize that some modern birth controls are only 97 to 99% effective, yet couples trust them that they wont get pregnant… so can I trust I wont get in?
Thanks guys.</p>
<p>I honestly have no idea what Stanford will do if you drop that class and work instead. Until D-Day though, let’s hold onto our tiny hope that we make it in!</p>
<p>After tomorrow, our countdown enters the single digits. Feels like I submitted the common app yesterday.</p>
<p>I know right… I can’t believe we’re so close to finding out either.</p>
<p>According to this thread:</p>

<p>Stanford is <em>considering</em> using the waitlist. Good sign for transfer applicants? At least it’s good to know they didn’t overenroll freshmen this year. yay!</p>
<p>yayors

<p>8 more days (not including today)! and there’s even a chance they might come out 1-3 days earlier… oh my.</p>
<p>Really? They might release decisions a few days earlier? Did not know that.</p>
<p>it’s unlikely.</p>
<p>last year, decisions were released may 12th when they were scheduled to be released on the 15th. freshman decisions are also usually released a few days earlier than the designated date. don’t count on it though so you don’t get disappointed.</p>
<p>yo liontreelion, you’re at Northwestern right? I’ve applied there along with Stanford and I’m wondering why you’d want to leave such a seemingly excellent school; what are your likes/dislikes about the place? I know for one I would be extremely honored to be offered admission at a school like that. Why do you want to leave such a coveted university?</p>
<p>hey crdnlnwhte, I thought I showed you my essays? you never sent yours back :)</p>
<p>didn’t i show you them? i think i showed you at least the main one. so why not NU?</p>
<p>the reason I mention the essays is because all the answers you’re looking for are there :). if you have any specific questions about them, please feel free to PM me.</p>
<p>you’re right that you haven’t shown me your Stanford supplement essays yet.</p>
<p>ah ok, i’ll check over that again then, thanks. i’ll send u my other essays now.</p>
