OMg Mike why you fail so hard? I thought you were a child prodigy Y_Y. Where are Derek and Vic going? Community College? lol
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

I hope many of you don't make the mistake of blowing yourself out on high school with the 4+ GPA and trying for high SAT scores and crap.

Once you are accepted into a university, everything before that is absolutely meaningless. And at least here in Virginia, you don't need to be a super star student to get accepted into UVA or VATech.

I would understand something like MIT... but some of you seem kind of super serious about this...

I guess west coast schools are just harder to get in to *shrug*

California does have a lot of good schools but it also has a huge population. Not to mention that it attracts a lot of superstudious international students from Asia. From the people who self-identified their race, many of the posters on this thread are Asian, too.

I know a person that ACED both the ACT and the SAT and was the national spelling bee champion for 2009 and didn't get into Stanford.

here is a news article on him:
http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/education/article_f1f71a52-a341-5f14-b6eb-79443b56ccb2.html

if he can't get in, idk wtf you have to do to get into that school..
Is it in you?

I really am curious about the admission process. When schools look at my application, they should see potential (nothing compared to the people here with huge e-penises huge achievements) but have no motivation to actually realize it.

Do they really not look at senior year? If someone did 5 APs their junior but took only 4 core classes the senior, it should raise an alarm, although my essay was probably well-polished.
Stuck.

Yeah, ty... that makes sense

One of my best friends in HS was a Chinese student named Ming, who was basically the smartest student in the school, but couldn't be Valedictorian because he was not in IB (You need some bullshit like 8 AP classes to get a higher GPA than an IB student)

Our entire east coast school had less than 1% asian students, I can imagine what a Cali school is like n_n

25 years old atm, finishing college for the first time with my Bachelor's in Physician Assistant come August 2012.

If I'd applied directly out of high school, I would have had a guaranteed seat in my program, however I didn't know about it, and simply assumed I was going to be an engineer. Instead, I went to UT Austin for 2 years in their Biomedical Engineering program there and decided I hated it. I'm definitely too social of a person to be able to handle a mostly laboratory career.

That said, I only went to UT Austin because it was far more affordable than anywhere else I got accepted. This was a huge factor for me, as I was financially and socially disowned by my parents at age 17 after coming out. I think my tear-jerker story, combined with 1590 SAT score (when it was 1600 max), excellent interview ability despite being homeschooled K-12, filled the "diversity checkbox" that has been referred to in this thread.

Didn't finish because I hated my major, and my boyfriend at the time was killed by a drunk driver, sending me into a wonderful toilet bowl of depression. Picked myself back up with the help of some SSRIs and my boyfriend's family, who were actually supportive of him.

Anyways, my advice to any high school juniors who are reading this thread; find some way to promote yourself, not just your academic achievements. A unique personality with a great story is probably one of the greatest things you can promote about yourself.

I was accepted into MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Boston University, and UT Austin. Glad I went the financially feasible route at the time, since I didn't end up getting a degree my first go-around.

Also, remember it's never too late; there's a woman in my program who's 47 and going for her first bachelor's degree after retiring from a full career in the Army as a secretary.

For those waiting on Stanford:
An Update on Admission Decisions
March 24, 2011

Freshman applicants should read this update on the release of decisions from the Director of Admission.

The Office of Undergraduate Admission is expected to complete its evaluation and selection process in the next few days. As a result, applicants are asked to refrain from submitting any new updates, notifications of awards or honors, and letters of recommendation. We will no longer be able to consider any new materials sent from this point forward.

We are still on schedule to release all freshman admission decisions on Friday, April 1 after 3pm (Pacific Time). All admission decisions will be sent via email from admission@stanford.edu and will be signed by Richard Shaw, Dean of Undergraduate Admission and Financial Aid. Decisions will not be posted on any Stanford Web site and only applicants offered admission will be sent any information by mail. Admitted students will be mailed a packet of materials (including their official offer of admission letter). All other decisions will be sent to students via email — including those students offered a space on our waiting list. All admission decisions will be final and given the highly selective nature of our process, we cannot consider any appeals whatsoever. We never, ever reverse an admission decision once it has been officially rendered.

Between now and April 1, please understand that we will not provide any additional information about the release of admission decisions by phone and we will not release any admission decisions over the phone under any circumstances, with the exception of students who have not received their admission decisions beginning the week of April 4.

We have been truly humbled by this year's selection process. We have tremendous respect for the students who put so much time and effort into their applications and who have worked so hard over the last several years to present us with incredibly compelling cases for consideration.

Unfortunately, roughly 94% of those who have applied will not be offered admission this year. We recognize how stressful this process can be for our applicants but we take great solace in knowing that any student who is even a candidate for admission to a place like Stanford will have wonderful college options, whether it be Stanford or another great university.
With great respect and best wishes to all of our candidates,
Bob

Bob Patterson
Director of Admission

6% acceptance rate? Damn, it's a bigger crapshoot than ever this year.

Woot! Another game developer
I remember seeing Becker College at a booth while I was at PAX East I believe.

Are you studying to be an artist or something else?
