<p>Would anyone know if Stanford will send out acceptance letter between now and April 1 for RD?</p>
<p>probably not, although “likely” letters appear to be in the mail now-ish.</p>
<p>Likely letters are just beginning to trickle out now, and will continue to do so for about the next six weeks. What happens is that as the admissions committee reviews the RD applications and comes across a few that they immediately know they plan to accept, they will send out likely letters to those people as soon as they are identified. Since there is a ginormous pile of RD apps to go through, it may take until fairly close to the regular RD decision date for all the likelies to get in the mail.</p>
<p>thanks for the explanation</p>
