Yes!! I had stuff in tables and took it out after reading that (in applicants guide I'm sure) in 9 pts?

I think excellence will be the weakest. In 10 pages is impossible to cover all aspects of application in detail.

Congrats SimpaLif! I'm glad your source (NCP or host) ended your suffering!

Don't you think this forum has been created just to run an alternative version of the Stanford experience? Most of us would have been unconsciously assigned as applicants while others simply manipulate us by disclosing different types of information to see how to interpret that information. A psych...
