<p>ok geez just got the email too and now they provide the ID.</p>
<p>I would not be surprised if Dartmouth, Columbia, and Brown release their decisions the same time as Stanford.</p>
<p>yeah i got an email saying my app was complete. it says they will send acceptance/rejection emails after 5pm on May 15th…</p>
<p>I got the same email. Sure is nice to hear that they received all my credentials. Now it’s time to go back praying and hoping for that miracle.</p>
<p>yes yes. this is quite the religious time of year.</p>
<p>I couldn’t have said it better myself, southerncali.</p>
<p>so if i’m atheist, i’m screwed? :)</p>
<p>only a month left? i’m scared</p>
<p>that email made everything very real, very suddenly. Nerves are kicking in</p>
<p>just curious, is anyone transferring from a california community college…if so what are your stats??</p>
<p>saba, i am.</p>
<p>hs gpa: 2.91 (15 years ago)
college gpa: 3.5 (damaged by a D from 10 years ago)
major gpa: 4.0 (anthropology)
SAT (taken in January): 700 critical reading, 550 math, 650 writing
ec’s: 10 years in business to business sales.</p>
<p>^^wow!!! You should be able to get in. I have a 3.95 in Biology good EC’s essays…what are my chances…Stanford only takes 20-30 students out of the whole pool of applicants…this is what scares me:(</p>
<p>saba, i think you are too generous. my sat scores are not quite up to par, nor is my gpa. does stanford favor us california comm. college kids? which school are you at?</p>
<p>biology major, i don’t know. from other schools i’m applied to, that seems to be a highly competitive major. (anthropology is for us lazy scientists… 
)</p>
<p>but have faith in yourself and what is meant to be will be! where else did you apply?</p>
<p>anyone apply as a English major besides msyujin?</p>
<p>Nope I’m applying as a physics/math major (wanting to go into theoretical physics and pure mathematics). My engineering school (w/ me a part of the applied physics program here) does not offer a math degree, nor any concentrations in theoretical physics.</p>
<p>*College GPA: 3.65 (dropped 'cause I took all solid and upper level math/physics/computer science courses this year… not one single elective… I’m just glad I’m still alive, I also emphasized I’ve been doing a lot of independent studies and independent work for potential publishing)</p>
<p>*HS GPA: 3.98 (dropped a bit 'cause I attended 3 high school’s and went thru surgery twice)</p>
<p>*ACT scores: Reading-28, Science- 30, Math- 36, English- 18, Writing- 7 (I wonder if I’ll be held against my english score, afterall it is my 2nd language.)</p>
<p>EC: I tutor engineers and physics majors in calculus series, and I have my own “artist feature” section in college newspaper (I also submitted an art supplement). In 11th and 12th grade in HS I was a part of Marine Corps JROTC for one year (made platoon sgt. and 1st yr. excellence award), did track n’ field for a year, president of school’s science and engineering society, marksmanship for a year, and volunteered at the fire dept. for a couple months (I had to stop a lot of what I did due to surgeries.). Oh yeah, I speak 3 languages (2 pretty well and the 3rd I’m learning) and a native american.</p>
<p>hmm, wow :O! is all I can muster up to say at the moment.</p>
<p>lets just say if i somehow manage to get in, i wouldn’t even know how to respond.</p>
<p>if i some how manage to get in, i have been stressing out about what to do on big game day (silly, i know). my whole family (and generations of us) went to cal… i bleed blue and gold, but then, i would have big time pride to be a stanford student. hopefully my family wouldn’t put egg salad on my head if i showed up in red. </p>
<p>by the way, do they pay attention to legacies? my g-pa and great aunt went to stanford. not that it matters, but i’m curious.</p>
<p>“take off that red shirt…” is a very popular cal chant, but i have no problem switching sides. you won’t have to worry though, since next year (odd years) stanford is hosting. so you’d be in the majority :)</p>
<p>private schools are big on legacies (mostly direct ones though like parents) because their endowments are nicely tended to by these alumni, and parents might stop donating if their kids didn’t get in…</p>
<p>so. cali, very true about stanford hosting, i will be in the majority. :)</p>
