  • Hi, everyone! Today, I take a look at my Stanford admissions file, which contains the scores and comments that my applications readers and interviewer gave me. In other words, my admissions file tells me how I got accepted to Stanford in the first place!
    Just note that this file doesn't explicitly spell anything out. A lot of information from my application and my readers was reduced to abbreviations and numbers. As such, I had to do some guesswork here and there. Ultimately, a lot of what I say comes from my own speculation. Still, I thought taking a look at my admissions file would be interesting.

    My extracurriculars are impresive (research, worked with World bank, interviewed by UNICEF, school athlete), also my essays are pretty cool and uncommon, but Im worried about my academics, I was top 20% of my class and I dont know if that's good enough, but I graduated with full As in almost everything. Also, I didnt take the SAT and I'm an international student. Do you think I would get into stanford?
