    I am so grateful to have found ur channel. From your surname, I know for sure that u are Cambodian, and I am too. Stanford is also my dream school but I really don’t know if I have enough qualifications to apply or not. I am also not living in the us which makes it even harder… but thanks for sharing ur experiences and tips!

If it's not being too intrusive, do you mind telling me how did you manage to afford to study in Stanford?

    Does Stanford require you to put both your weighted and unweighted gpa or just weighted gpa? Or is it just unweighted gpa?

    • @KelseySry
      @KelseySry  4 года назад +1

      Shoot I don't really know. Sorry for the late reply!! There's a lot of decisions and things to consider by the admission office. A lot of people on online threads say unweighted GPA. I think what it really boils down to is what you can offer Stanford University as an individual. How are you in particular unique? For a school that always have an endless supply of students who always score high academically, you should have passions/interests that separate you from the rest.
