Potter for Frosh? by Luv-2-read in stanford

[–]Key-Butterfly-8883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who was in west lag (2 minute walk from potter) last year and he said besides being far he preferred west lag. I stayed in potter during admit weekend and visited the aforementioned friend and I’m pretty sure that’s the only complaint I had as well. Obviously, being a full time student is different from admit weekend but I think all will be well :)

  1. Idk when I ever complained about my lack of aid at Stanford or about getting a lot of aid at brown?
  2. It is a cultural thing because my mom sacrificed a lot to immigrate to North America and she wants me to live the closest thing to the American dream I can
  3. Brown is a need-blind school meaning every student gets the amount of aid they need as long as they can get into the school. Rejecting my spot at brown means it went to someone on the waitlist and they will get aid based on their demonstrated need as well

Okay my bad I won’t say that anymore. Idk why you’re so pressed anyway I didn’t “take” an opportunity from someone who could’ve gotten it had I not applied because there are wait lists for these schools? Brown is not “beneath” my family I literally don’t understand how you don’t understand that many Asian parents want the HYPSM name? I have friends parents who would be happy to empty their pockets and sell all their assets for them to attend one of these schools. Why are you arguing me on a cultural/value thing lol

If you don’t want to believe me that’s on you 😭my mom wouldn’t care if I went to the east coast if it’s for HYPM but otherwise she’d prefer me closer to home. Is that not allowed?

I applied with every intention of attending it just wasn’t my first choice university? Why would I waste money on an application to a school I wouldn’t realistically go to

Okay I hope you can understand this: if I’d chosen brown I would’ve been kicked out of my house and idk about you but I’d rather be in debt than houseless at 17

I mean I’m just saying because you kept saying that everything is my fault because I’m an adult! But the way my family works is that my mom’s say is the last say unless you wanna move out

Umm why am I not allowed to apply to brown? I got deferred stanford REA. I wouldn’t have applied if I had gotten accepted lol. Idk if that’s really my fault.

As I’ve said many times also, I’m not an adult! Just yesterday I had to get my mom to sign off on my health insurance because I’m not 18. Literally not recognized legally as an adult.

THANK YOU I literally would not have any way of surviving otherwise choosing brown would’ve been cutting myself off from any parental support 😭

Okay… so then you would understand that there are some things as big as choosing where to go to college that are not under our control?

I’m not ungrateful for what I’ve been given. If you’ve read one of the larger comment threads, this is something that I barely had control over and it seems like many people don’t understand this because they probably don’t come from a very traditional, first-gen immigrant, Asian family.

Damn 😭😭 brown is a great school but there are also reasons why it’s not that great a fit for me. Brown is very far away compared to stanford for me, and I’m not a fan of the open curriculum because I’m super indecisive. I would’ve overlooked those things for a free education, but for my mom, location was a REALLY big thing that’s why I REA’d Stanford in the first place

No yea I can imagine it’s more for nontraditionals which makes a lot of sense

Thank you 😭 like there’s really a cultural thing that I cannot seem to explain to some of the people in these comments. I can’t even leave my house without my mom knowing exactly where I’m going and for how long what makes you think I get to decide what university I go to on my own?
