Rejected. 1590, Math Olympiad awards, on a top ranked robotics team. Literally don't know what more they could've wanted.

Nothing! It could have been your kid admitted and I’m sure they could have done great there. It’s just a numbers game, not something lacking in your kids background. They’ll do great someplace else instead.

DC's friend too. Finalist for the largest science competition in America (you know the one...) + math awards + published research (and not the BS kind) + 1590 + 96 UW GPA with top rigor. Rejected. What else is there??

Stanford wants to admit students who will change the world - more creative or unusual, if not an athlete.

Someone got in from DC’s school who has several patents pertaining to insects and has developed a novel mosquito repellent and is an amateur blacksmith etc etc. It’s kind of ridiculous.

I really don’t see why this person should be at an elite school for just being weird. Like these aren’t interesting or impressive ECs to me, just strange ones

Yes, sure. We don't need a ChatGPT bot statement like that.

It’s literally what their AOs have said. You can choose to ignore them, but they have made it fairly clear that perfect/near perfect SATs, Olympiad medals, and robotics do not really move the needle. A student with such a profile is wasting their ED/REA opportunity with Stanford.
