      @ohnoirpodcast  4 года назад +8

      I think there isn't exactly a particular "Asian" stereotype (unless maybe you're referring to the model minority concept?), but in general there are a lot of applicants that are similar (in terms of grades, stats, ECs, etc). I'm going to make a video about how to stand out soon :D

      Early restrictive action means that you're applying to Stanford only early, not any other private schools early (by nov 1st), and regular is later on, its a larger applicant pool
