<p>lol, i'm with you aim78. I'd be so thrilled I wouldn't know what to do.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> we would all be thrilled, aquahobbist...</p>
<p>at any rate, let's set up an organized countdown system...what if we took turns calling every day from the 5th to the 20th, asking if the decisions were available, then posting back here? does anyone want to volunteer?</p>
<p>that way, we'd know the <em>exact</em> day decisions are available, and we can all call. and it would be a different person each time :-) they'd never know :-)</p>
<p>sounds good, I'll take the 5th. sign up for whatever day works. Just don't sign up and then not call. </p>

<p>wow i just realized this. do you guys see how anal school has made us? we're so concrete sequential. We're making sign up lists ONLINE! and what for? to call Stanford to see when acceptances are going to be released. I'm doing it anyways I just wanted to point it out. lol I find this pretty funny.</p>
<p>my friend told me her family friend found out today and it's the 1st. she has weird connections with admissions officers at stanford though so mybe she's the only one who knows</p>
<p>the first of january?</p>
<p>I think najmsh meant that the family friend found out today on the first of December.</p>
<p>yeah thats what happened. nebody else find out yet?</p>
<p>good lord--did she just call? did she get in?</p>
<p>holy crap, that would be crazy if we could find out tomorrow =0</p>
<p>should be at least 9 more days...</p>
<p>that's why we should follow my phone switch-off idea--so that we know when we can get our decisions!</p>
<p>Why doesn't someone call today? If one person already knows their decision...</p>
<p>(650) 723-2091
Monday through Friday, except major holidays
8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (PST/PDT)</p>
<p>FYI: I emailed them asking if we could call before mid-December with the excuse that I am leaving the country on the 16th and will be unable to access my decision, which creates a problem because I won't know whether to send off my other apps. (Not really an excuse...its completely true) Hopefully I'll get a real response and not one of those automated things that are completely useless.</p>
<p>tell me what they say b.c that is my case. I leave on the 15 and need to know! </p>
<p>someone-thanks i forgot about the weekend thing. lol</p>
<p>will do......</p>
<p>gah! okay I just called because i was going nuts. apparantly they are mailing out letters, "mid-december"(which we already knew) when I pressed her she was just like "probably after the 15th" to which i really wanted to say, "duh, thats the middle of december, I'm not retarded!" And they don't post them online, and won't tell you if you call. So basically we're all screwed. they're just trying to wreck everyone's break. seriously now I'll be in India and have no idea-i suppose thats better but still...</p>
<p>I called today too, and I got the same response. They said mail by 15th, and I asked if we could call, and they said "yeah, you can call on the 16th or 17th if you haven't received it by mail.</p>
<p>Yeah, my guess, and this is just a guess, is that the mail will come on the 13th, 14th, 15th.</p>
<p>About calling...Who knows whether or not they'll release a date for admissions decisions when everyone can call. Either way they probably won't say until right when or before we could, and they might not say at all, just because they don't want thousands of people calling in, which is why they might have stopped it if they did...</p>
<p>I don't get why they don't have decisions online or send an email though. That would be even better than by phone, and probably less trouble (or at least less obnoxious) for them.</p>
