<p>Wow... we are nearly there now. Since I am not sure when the decisions come out but if it is April 1st, then we have around 26 days left. Again wow. So for early action we had a discussion thread and I found it to be a nice place to talk with other prospective Stanford applicants so I thought I would start one for RD. </p>
<p>Yeah admissions are expected to go up next year. Some schools are trying to build more housing and stuff and I know UCLA and UCB are increasing their acc rates.</p>
<p>At dpattzlover, I also applied to Wisconsin-madison.
Stanford, stanford, stanford - one of the meanest schools in terms of admissions. Let’s just see how it goes though I’m not really expecting anything from them.</p>
<p>My father told me that, because of the recession, schools are actually allowing more students to enroll at their campus (which means more money for the schools and larger class sizes for us)…does anyone here know if Stanford is doing this as well?</p>
<p>Stanford has over enrolled for the last 2 yrs for various reasons, one being the doing away of ED by a couple of ivies.
Dosent seem to be the case this yr as they have to declutter the housing.</p>
<p>Some schools are taking in more out of state and internationals = more money.</p>
<p>Stanford won’t be doing that this year, but they plan to next year and the years after that. They are currently working on creating more housing.</p>
<p>I think it’s possible that they might waitlist more people because of the uncertainty during the recession. I would think that there will be more families turning down Stanford for a public university because of the price…</p>
