<p>i know a kid who got this. it's legit</p>
<p>^triple word (skip the post above me)</p>
<p>quadruple word lol</p>
<p>quintuple word.</p>
<p>This really seems to be your intention, after you attacked me personally because of my slight criticism of stanfurd, and your other posts on this forum.</p>
<p>"Actually, I think you are just looking at anything which could remotely be construed as attacking Stanford and then defending it without any consideration to alternative interpretations or the actual intentions of the poster."</p>
<p>Much as Beef called me mentally unstable, I guess others seem to have arrived at the same conclusion I have. Makes me wonder if this is just a joke poster, or a real prospective Stanford student. I had a huge thread in the Stanford forums on how the admissions process is conducted, out of interest, and actually NO Stanford student gave me a narrow-minded defense of his/her school, and just constructively agreed or disagreed with things I said.</p>
<p>I can't even tell what you guys are arguing about anymore.</p>
<p>Agreed. From what I can tell, it seems really important though.</p>
<p>Nor can I....what the hockey?</p>

<p>Well, we're not really arguing, just seem to be agreeing that a certain poster has assumed practically anyone saying anything that could possibly be misconstrued to demean Stanford to be trashing the school, and telling us we're probably bitter at the school. </p>
<p>Not really that important, except that hopefully posters will be careful to read our posts and assess them for themselves, rather than allowing any one poster to make the assessment for them.</p>
<p>Or hopefully readers will not read your posts, as they have no value toward the thread itself. Now would probably be a good time to drop it and return to the subject of "Early Approval" letters, one of which I am unfortunately not holding in my hand right now.</p>
<p>Well you're right goldfish, and in any case I'm done here, permit a guy a matter of fact post once in a while!! Just happened to notice what the others were talking of.</p>
<p>"Or hopefully readers will not read your posts, as they have no value toward the thread itself." -- goldfish</p>
<p>"Not really that important, except that hopefully posters will be careful to read our posts and assess them for themselves, rather than allowing any one poster to make the assessment for them." --by me earlier</p>
<p>Also, I was talking about in other threads. Of course, I'm the first to admit my posts on this thread have no value and shouldn't be read. =]</p>
<p>I got an "early approval" letter on Tueday.
At first I didn't quite know if it was legitamate, so I called and then emailed admissions.
And yup, I got in!
It was pretty exciting. :)</p>
<p>congrats, man. where are you from?
also, what was your letter dated?</p>
<p>this thread just made my day</p>

<p>I'm from California...about three hours north of LA
And the letter was dated February 13th.</p>
<p>that can only mean that they're sending them out in waves, since mine was dated the 2nd. There's probably one or two more dates coming, as they get through all the RD apps.</p>
