[bmpnok]

....
Rejected. Feels bad man :-(
Hours spent on essays. 28 ACT. 3.98 GPA unweighted. IB courses. #1 in my class.
Feel like all this effort was wasted.

[TakeAMultiBrah]

Why were you rejected?

[jeff_vangundy]

lol how do you feel shafted a 28 on the act isnt competitive for that school. sorry brah, but you can probably go to a kick ass state school and if you're #1 in your class there, there's no difference than if you were at stanford

[QuagMirin]

know that feel
rejected for grad school.
3.8 gpa, 1500 gre, sick internships

there are prob a lot of great schools you can get into with that though; where else did you apply?

Hey, I also got rejected from stanford several years back, but still went to another top school. Looking back, it's only undergrad, so it's way more important what you do, rather than where you go, during your college years

[boogerface]

should have put black or hispanic as race...

you would have got in plus a 1million$ scholarship

[TehHoneyBadger]

LOL
28 on your ACT?
You never should have bothered applying in the first place

[ameln]

[bmpnok]

I am Hispanic.

I also applied to UofC, UIUC, Northwestern, and University of Wisconsin

[lolwatislove]

28 on the ACT ain't sh!t

sorry bro I smoked weed 3 times a day, had 193 absences my senior year, and got a 30 on the ACT........

[SaliorUSN]

stanford is overrated anyways.... i wouldnt even bother worry about what undergrad school you go to... now days it doesnt mean anything

[FunkymonkAW]

28 on the ACT isn't that great bro.

That being said:
1) Go to a cheaper, closer, more fun school.
2) Graduate.
3) Get the same job.

this. They prefer AP honors to IB and they like ACTs in the 30s. Good lucvk tho. you have a bright future regardless.

If it helps bro, I got rejected from Stanford too, but got into Harvard, went there for two years, said 'screw this sh*t', started biz, now making 50-70k a month in passive income.

school ain't everything (not by a long shot)

I had 35 act and 2320 sat

[George Costanza]

Stanford is impossible brah. Gotta be from Cali or born into it.


Oh and Vadox is legit. He's proved his Harvard acceptance on here before.

does undergrad school really not matter much? srs, im starting to apply for colleges too and i only got 3.6 something weighted average with what will be around 2000-2200 SAT's (from practice tests ive taken, and considering ive been studying for them for 2 months already, and still have until June for taking them the first time and can keep taking them until november next year)

still scared mang

[batmanman]

go to a state school and get a scholarship instead of going to ***gy harvard with no girls

[bigbottlegunner]

Just go to Stanford anyway.
Take the classes.
Don't take no for an answer.
Say, "I'm going here, kiss my asz.

[AlbinoScience]

lmao

[908]

<--- from the east coast. doesn't know **** about the ACT. You'll still get in somewhere OP... the college you go to can be a big deal for certain careers/graduate paths and for others it doesn't matter where the hell you graduate from. Just transfer there after a year if it was your dream school.

Don't listen to him, it doesn't matter as much, but a good undergraduate institution is still quite important for getting ahead in whatever field you choose to pursue.

That's insane! Why didn't you like Harvard? Or did you suddenly get an idea for a business, and realize a degree wasn't needed?

Thanks for the insight guys.

[im2manly]

Don't worry brah depending on what your major would have been it doesn't matter where you went to undergrad.

#EDIT:

Also, college is very overrated. It's an investment. The cost of education far exceeds the benefits of your education from paying for full tuition at college.

OP why you want to go to Stanford for undergrads degree?! Waste of money tbh, save the top school for graduate degree!

Harvard sucks if you're in any way social or athletic but NOT on the varsity teams. Hell, it sucks in general. Girls are ****ing ugly, gyms are absolute sh*t (and the only decent facility is accessible only to varsity athletes, no matter who you're friends with OR EVEN IF ONE OF THE COACHES VOUCHES FOR YOU), social life is horrible, dorms are falling apart, winters are cold as hell and the sun sets extremely early, etc etc. Very depressing place for somebody who expects it to be "the best in the world"

Hell, I even came back there this year (September) to try to finish, but after a month couldn't stand it and left again. Chilling in Majorca atm
