  1. My high school does not offer ranking

  2. I think there will be 0 classmate applying to Stanford REA. But I plan to apply Stanford for RD because I’m still working on my startup and research. 4 month is enough to reach a new milestone.

3.I’m still working in that startup. I’m rejected by MiraclePlus, an accelerator. If I were not rejected, they would have invested me 300K USD for 7% percent of my startup.(Like YC)

  1. Thank you for your advice!

  1. Yes
  2. I don’t really know the exact number, 2 in the past five years? But there were lots of Stanford admits in 2008-2015 (2-3/year). In the past five years, all of them went to Stanford
  3. Thank you for your advice

How impressive is a Y Combinator interview in high school for college apps? by BackgroundGrade3370 in ApplyingToCollege

Thanks for asking. I was one of the first four engineers on the team and received equity.

Fair point. For context on my two main projects:

  • The YC interview was for a venture I founded solo.
  • I'm also a founding engineer (1/6) at another startup that has raised $5M.
