후기 및 학교 선택 이유
I was very surprised I got into Stanford because a. I didn't send in a music supplement, b. my interview was not very memorable, c. it's Stanford.

I regret applying early to my dream school because my essays were pretty trash back then. REA/SCEA is also brutal because the competition is fierce

This is just anecdotal, but I really don't think the average (not wildly terrible or amazing) interview matters, unless it's for Harvard

First semester grades definitely matter, but Stanford seems to be more lenient than other top schools

I’m not sure if I should’ve asked for the additional rec? I guess the HYPSM faculty part helped with my credibility and I’m assuming it was positive given that he agreed to do it, but I genuinely don’t know what he wrote

I think having an obscure major with ECs + awards to match really helped me

I wrote all my RD supplements during winter break, which was a terrible idea. It worked out, but would not recommend—those two weeks were absolutely horrific
