Hey, another article! A new one. Sorry guys if I didn't update this site for a few days. Its because that our computer broke down. I tried to connect the internet thing to the laptop, but still it didn't work. It's because that IE will restart and restart and restart. What a cycle! Anyway, what shall be my new topic? I thought of reserving my articles for my 1st ever magazine-site for the month of May. As I said, I plan to release my magazine on the 28th of May. So, here it goes.
Have you ever watched the newly finished Amazing Race 9? Well, I was really picking on the Hippies to win, and I was not disappointed. They really won. But I think, someone will say that it's the Amazing Race 9 that I will talk about. Honestly, no. Let's go deeper.
BJ was a graduate of Harvard University. Damn it, he's so cool to graduate in that fabulous and amazing institution. On the other hand, Tyler really wanted to graduate in Stanford University, but he settled to another school, University of California Berkeley (dream school!).
Ok, our topic is mainly all about the prestigious university, Stanford. Man, I think the person who'd read this article would also desire to spend their 4 or 5 years in that wonderful school. But, its not that easy. Passing their exam is really hard, and even passing the 'acceptance to Stanford' thing is way way too hard.
I've came to a Stanford Magazine and read about the 'stupidity' of Tyler McNiven. What he did to be favored to go in that University was like politics. He spread pamphlets like "Tyler McNiven for Stanford student". Pretty unrealistic just to be accepted, but that's the truth. He even had those speeches and those usual political plots and propagandas just to gain a shot at Stanford.
But the bottom line was: "No McNiven in Stanford".
Tell you, there had been a lot of stupid things that the Stanford hopefuls did, like sending videos and also, personally sending their letter, even though they can just pay FedEx to do the dirty job. But, its no easy thing, according to Stanford. There were some quality things or letters or videos that the hopefuls did. But they can only accept a few. Around 18 to 24 thousand would apply to the 1600 spots in Stanford. So, you'd have a very slim, 13% possibility that you'd go through in Stanford. Even though it's really hard for the Stanford guys to refuse some of them, but its their job.
Many Stanford guys would simply do fanatic things just to pass. A certain female hopeful sent a shoe with a letter "Can't wait to have my first steps in Stanford.". Another male hopeful also sent dyed shorts with also a letter, saying "I'm DYEing to be in Stanford." Pretty corny and catchy, but they made it to Stanford.
Guys, my words are pretty limited, and so as I hope you'd read the whole article in this site, stated below.
Hope you'd take time! Hey, sign my guestbook! It's my pleasure.
Yeah, I just want you to be updated. The 1st edition of the webpage magazine will be released this Sunday of May. I will feature some things, like personal opinion, special of the month, and the person of the month. Hope you'd read!
I think you know why this section has these writings, right?
