Yeah it's a blasty blast. Where are you planning to head if Stanford doesn't work out for you?

I think I will probably end up at Columbia, Berkeley, Penn, or something like that. Worst case scenario I guess I will be at my safety school. I think I will be able to get into at least one of those though. (I hope...)

Woohoo I just finalized all my EA essays :D


What schools are you looking at Mr. Koh?

what about YOU jono?


Wow... way to answer a question with another question....

My top possibly realistic choice (although I still don't know if i'll get in+get money) is Washington University in St. Louis. I'm also applying to the University of Denver. Anyone here go there or know anything about it? I live in Kansas City so St. Louis and Denver are both appealing for their drivabiity while not being too close. I'm also applying to Stanford/Princeton for some reason even though I won't get in because i'm not a motherfuckin' astronaut or anything like that or a leader for the future.

You?

edit: I was oblivious to my 2000th post It was the post before I made this one in some strategy thread. Now I am a dt though. I will find ray, and chop ray, and his armies will not be alerted because of my 1 hit kill capabilities. muahhahahha

I am doing early action to Stanford, but we all know how ridiculous that is..


If you badly want to get to Stanford but have a feeling that you have little to no chance (and it's hard to say no matter how good-looking your school resume is), you can opt for a transfer during your sophomore or junior college year when you should have already picked a major that you want to finish. It is a bit easier to get admitted to Stanford that way.

Stanford transfer students don't have a very low admission rate compared to applicant senior high school students. That is assuming that you were already admitted in a respected school during your previous college years, in my case, Berkeley. I'm not sure if you can do a CC > Stanford transfer and be admitted. The CC > uni transfer is more common in other unis.

I'd have to say that I didn't apply for Stanford when I was at senior high school though. Did you submit your early action app yet?

If you want to know more about the upper tier schools go to collegeconfidential.com. You can even post your school stats there like your SAT/ACT/GPA scores and have other users tell your chances before submitting your application to the school. Who knows, you might be just wasting your time/money/effort just to have your hopes shattered.


Wasabi: Thanks for the info. I am actually a long-time member at collegeconfidential.com I haven't submitted my apps but planning on doing it either tomorrow or Friday. I put a lot of work into the Stanford essays and stuff so I think it's too late to turn around. Secondary school report and teacher recommendations have already been sent in, too. I actually posted my GPA/SAT/ECs on collegeconfidential the other day but all I got were those typical "good shot but it's Stanford" responses.

Thanks for the information on transferring, I appreciate it.

I don't recommend Berkeley dude, I've been there. WORST campus ever. It's like this tiny-ass thing on top of a hill. And the town that's like 1min away is like straight up ghetto. Gangs walk through campus and shit. It's nasty lol.

Well guess I'm talking with not enough info, sorry if I sound prejudice. That's just the stuff I heard from people that attend there and such. Yeah Duke is kinda like that too I guess, but the campus is beautiful.

UCLA
+++ shits on USC like a horse

reasons? if you insist..

+amazing academics (#2 public university behind Berkeley barely)
+great food
+Westwood is a great neighborhood unlike USC's which is highly dangerous and filled with muggings, rapes, stabbings
+/- humongous campus (long walks to/from classes if you are unlucky)
+even the shittiest dorms aren't that bad and the suites are like hotels
- difficult to get into
+generally buff athletics
- usc rapes ucla football wise although i don't care for football that much
+weather is great, the grass is green and the girls are pretty

the only plus thing you listed that doesn't apply to USC is the neighborhood and perhaps the food.

This is actually completely wrong. Getting into Stanford as a transfer student is MUCH harder. The acceptance rate for transfer students is usually around 1-2% . http://admission.stanford.edu/application/transfer/index.html

That being said, I cannot recommend it enough=). I can't imagine a better undergrad experience at any other school ~~

anybody doing/did questbridge and get in? im not a senior but my brother is doing it and the replies come out this friday. He has a 4.00 gpa (unweighted) got some ap scholar award, and overall he's just a studious guy. sadly, we're not citizens but we got our social security card and work permit, so because he's recognized as international, its probably alot harder. has anybody gotten in schools with questbridge?

Lol I love all the people like "Go to this critically acclaimed school." Many people can't handle the teaching styles of their college professors. I know the valedictorian of the class that graduated before me went to Columbia because she thought she liked it and the reviews were good. She flunked out because it wasn't the same teaching style as high school. Keep that in mind, that even when you take college courses your senior year (AP, IB included), the teachers still tend to bias towards you being a high schooler sometimes. Not always, but it happens more often than not.
You're toast, R1CH
