<p>Is anyone having trouble accepting their admission offer through the AXESS website? My credit card won't go through...and i don't know why...</p>
<p>No, but then again I just mailed in the enrollment card with my check. You can try calling the financial aid office there number is listed on the right-hand corner when you first log into axess! :)</p>
<p>I mailed mine in as well. I don't think that link was there when I sent in my deposit.</p>
<p>/me applauds incoming freshmen!</p>
<p>i was tryin to do it online..but i just called in and they said it was a mistake...so we need to mail it in!</p>
<p>After a couple tries, I just submitted my decision onlinea and clicked "Pay by Check"...was I supposed to send the paper card along with that too? I thought the information was transmitted from my axess account</p>
<p>Aaahh! I'm accepting my decision today!!! Sooo excited!!! :D</p>
<p>Ok..so i got this email from this lady apologyizing and explaining that the system was down ova the wkd..so i just did it by credit card..and guys I AM AN OFFFFFICIALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL CARDINALL!!!!IMMMMMM SOOOOO EXCITEDD!!It feels like Dec15 all over again!</p>
<p>I'm still confused..are we trees or Cardinal?</p>
<p>The band is the tree. Cardinal is the official mascot. So, it would be something like this:</p>
<p>Go Tree!!!</p>
<p>and then</p>
<p>Go Cardinal(s)!!!</p>
<p>I think... :o</p>
<p>...sorry pyleela...we would never say "go trees"---the Stanford Cardinal refers, in the sigular (its not "Cardinals") to a type of tree/color...the mascot is more iconic than anything else</p>
<p>We would definitely say "Go Cardinal!" - at least that's what it says on athletics sites. However, at sporting events, we just say "GO STANFORD!!"</p>
<p>But what do we refer to ourselves as? Like Yalies, techers..that sort of thing.</p>
<p>Stanford kids? That's the best I can think of. There's not really a nice equivalent of "Yalie" or anything like that.</p>
<p>Definitely not "cardinal", "cardinals", or "trees". You're not a "cardinal", as that's a color. It would make as much sense to refer to a Michigan student as "a blue". And the only person who's referred to as "a tree" is the one who wears the costume and dances, or used to.</p>
