<p>If this is indeed the case then she should sue Stanford for equal treatment. </p>
<p>That said, I am not inclined to believe any of this until it goes to court (and a full investigation is done) - she could have quite easily procured a Stanford acceptance email and sent it to herself, etc. The Stanford admissions officer could also very easily explained away the double emails as an computer/administration problem - I am not sure why the admissions officer would go all the way and explain that she is deferred due to her need. All in all, I find your friend’s story very suspicious.</p>

It’s a good thing you posted! Please continue posting and update when you find out anything else about this. I’m sorry that few people seem to believe you, but if you have more information on this, please do share because it is quite a singular situation, and if true it could have some significant consequences.</p>
<p>further reason why I don’t believe this story: i was a waitlist kid. they could have EASILY taken someone else who could actually pay instead of taking me, who needed close to a full ride.</p>
<p>Okay, this whole thing is getting a little ridiculous. Marchnuts, if you’re going to claim that a carefully scrutinized, world-class university that accepts hundreds of financially destitute students every year (including myself) is going to openly admit that they are lying about their financial neutrality, then YOU have the burden of proof. Until you can provide some evidence, we have no reason to believe this.</p>
<p>applicannot: I laughed when I read your message (“That’s true, darling”); I hadn’t read the username of the poster before. :P</p>
<p>i can believe that it would happen on the inside (i guess) but i have .0000001% belief in the fact that they would have told that to ur friend on the phone. </p>
<p>but please. if you want people’s advice, you have to provide some sort of proof.</p>
