<p>(from stanford.edu)</p>

<p>Dear Stanford Applicants,</p>

<p>We are providing decisions through an online notification system starting late Thursday afternoon (Pacific Time), December 15. You will receive an email informing you that your decision is now available through our Apply Yourself portal. Only at that time will you be able to view your decision, using the PIN and passwords we provided you in an earlier email. Please do not attempt to access your decision before receiving this final email notification.</p>

<p>We also mailed our Single-Choice Early Action decision letters on December 15. All decisions letters were sent to the mailing address you provided on the Basic Information Form (Form 1) of the application. If you are currently at a different address, your decision letter will be waiting for you when you return to that address.</p>

<p>Thank you for applying to Stanford and for your patience in awaiting our decisions. It has been an honor to read your thoughtful applications, learn of your accomplishments, and come to understand why you are so highly thought of by your counselors and teachers.</p>

<p>We wish each and every one of you the very best as you consider the many options that lie before you.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>The Office of Undergraduate Admission
Stanford University</p>

<p>Thanks for putting that up. I think we can expect the decisions to be in our inbox around 5 PT.</p>

<p>Has anyone tried to see what their decision is yet?</p>

4

<p>yep. nothing. sither, what's the first letter of your last name? I haven't gotten that email yet (last name starts with P), so we might be able to figure out if they're emailing out alphabetically or not.</p>

5

<p>i would think that anyone who has seen this would not check and face possible harsh repercussions for just 8 hours...</p>

<p>Hmm...I haven't got that mail yet! Dunno why. Gmail's servers are right next door to Stanford! ;)</p>

So does this mean that you can't even log into the ApplyYourself website to check?</p>

7

<p>Yeah, it would suck if checking automatically turned your decision to "rejected". Ouch.</p>

<p>this is not an email...its from the UGA part of stanford.edu.</p>

<p>sither, i think adg was referring to the earlier hypothesis that they might post our decisions on our online application accounts. Checking that regularly isn't illegal like the hacks that have been happening to the other admissions sites recently, since we already have access to our online accounts.</p>

10

<p>Very true, and if they do reject us for our checking, we can sue for them blocking access to information we were able to check before (i.e. the status of our application).</p>

11

<p>Yeah, Cornell got hax0red! Lol ;)</p>

12

<p>Not as bad as the Harvard, MIT, and Stanford business schools! Apparently a hacker got into their applyyourself sites (it wasn't just an old applicant posting a still-valid link or anything like in the Cornell case) and everyone who found out their decision was rejected. Owch!</p>

13

<p>lol I've checked like twice........cause I was on a school library comp that doesn't let you see email. They're not gonna penalize anybody for checking though.</p>

14

<p>Cornell did not get hacked!!!! hah. My friend was one of the kids to find out early. They just used the same link as last year. Stupid Cornell.</p>
