Admission Decision Time and Likely Letters

<p>When and how do we find out if we got in or not? </p>

<p>Also...I noticed the thread on likely letters. I didn't get one, not only for Stanford, but for every school I applied to. Does this mean I have no shot and should give up hope or do only few people get these and I still have a chance?</p>

<p>Definitely not. The vast majority of students who are accepted do not get likely letters at all. It in no way reflects on your strength as an otherwise very strong applicant. "Liklies" are for people that are "academic superstars," so basically, it's like an athletic recruitment.</p>

<p>Yep don't feel inadequate about not getting a likely. It's totally OK. Very very few people get likelies, and they get them for various reasons. Don't beat yourself up about it.</p>

<p>Stanford admissions notification info comes on the afternoon of March 29. Go to the application website. (on the ApplyOnline website, a link will pop up when the decisions are available.)</p>

<p>Mallomar, are you sure about the 29th thing. I thought only the Ivies were releasing then?</p>

<p>Mallomar, where is that March 29th afternoon link. I must see it to believe it.</p>

<p>I've heard April 1st.</p>

<p>if its on March 29 then that will be one hell of a day for me... Harvard, Penn, probably Duke, and Stanford... all of my highly selective schools will notify me on the same day!!!</p>

<p>It's April 1st.</p>

<p>has anyone checked for sure? march 29th or april 1st?</p>

<p>Stanford says early April. So the answer is early April--ie, April 1. I'd start checking on March 29, though, just for kicks.</p>

<p>yea, i read somewhere that for EA, they were able to check admission decision from the application site</p>

<p>The full admit website goes up on April 1st-->decisions come out on April 1st. It's later than other decisions, b/c Stanford's cool like that. ;) And you guys will be able to check from the application site as well, but not until 3 PM.</p>

<p>Last year Stanford accepted ~2400, only ~100 got likely letters. So that's like 4% of the whole admitted pool?</p>

<p>Don't sweat about it.</p>

<p>pyleea, I don't think you're correct on this, for the past three years, results have been released on a weekday if the decision date fell on a weekend.</p>
