<p>did anyone else get a call from an alum trying to convince you that you should pick stanford? i don't really need convincing at this point, but it was still nice :)</p>
<p>No, I didn't receive one. </p>
<p>I guess they don't want me :-(</p>
<p>Yeah I got one, and apparently there's going to be a banquet or something for early admits from the Seattle area.</p>
<p>I didn't get one either, but many of my parents' friends and collegues that went to Stanford have contacted me to say congrats. The networking is already great, but no alum calls.</p>
<p>I got one today too. She didn't mention anything about a LA banquet though :(.</p>
<p>So what did these alums say. Give some interesting details.</p>
<p>STANFORD ROCKS!</p>
<p>Nothing too much actually. She just said "congrats on getting into Stanford," if you have any questions please ask. She also gave me her contact info if I have any more questions. But it was still cool to see Stanford begging at our feet instead of the opposite as was the case about a month ago.</p>
<p>lol, "begging at our feet," sorta exagerrated dontcha think?</p>
<p>You know what I mean ;).</p>
<p>hahahaha, yup i do</p>
<p>im still paranoid about rejection tho, like what if my grades drop a ton...or what if they dig up some dirt on me, like that time i stole the lunch box from the store when i was 5 years old....</p>
<p>o hey, i got my call yesterday while i wasnt home
the lady left a message, and she said that there was gonna be a party for admitted students and their family at universal citywalk on feb 16th</p>
<p>anybody else going?</p>
<p>sniffle. i didnt get a call...</p>
<p>Anybody else get a letter from the admissions officer/alumni? They even had a personalized thing about your application.</p>
<p>really?? what'd it say? like, we picked you because of <em>insert characteristic here</em>?</p>
<p>AHHHHHH! WHY DIDN'T I GET ANYTHING????? THEY MUST NOT REALLY WANT ME...i'm gonna cry now...no call, no letter, no party...</p>
<p>its okay neemi. we can make our own "stanford doesnt really want us" club.</p>
<p>no it was a standard letter about stuff like admit weekend and a reminder about the website and a bunch of stuff like that, and then they wrote in with pen at the bottom stuff like "I hope you continue to be active in ___<strong><em>" and "I know you will like _</em></strong>"</p>
<p>juzam_djinn, I live in LA and the alum who called me did not mention the city walk party. I wonder if they will mail/call us specific information about it later...</p>
<p>yea im pretty sure they will, they said they would send more info via mail about it</p>
<p>wow! a party at citywalk? that's hot!
nah, no alum call. or maybe my non-english-speaking mother scared the person.
I got the "personalized" letter where they have this writing in blue ink and it looks written on but i doubt it is. it's personal but general at the same time, and it left a cell phone '#. so whatever. cool</p>
<p>any details on the citywalk party?> are you fo real, juzam? that's dope!</p>
