Official Stanford "Early Approval" Letter Thread

<p>Okay, haha, looking back, that was really obvious, I don't know why I asked that. </p>

<p>Anyway, I talked with Ms. Keene today and she said they are in committee for the next two days so she's going to get back to me on Thursday (she's going to write something up for me for that IHS Scholarship); that is so nerve-racking, but, hey, at least it means I'm not out of the running yet!</p>

<p>And, on another note, why have they sent out so many likely letters this year? That's just crazy! I so hope to get one or perhaps Ms. Keene will be like, "Oh, by the way, you are accepted to Stanford!" in her email on Thursday (hmm, not likely). haha. Ah, I am going nuts!</p>

<p>How many of you are African American, Hispanic, Native American or any other minority?</p>

<p>I wonder if they are just sending them to us minorities...</p>

<p>basically, I just can't accept the fact that i got into Stanford! lol</p>

<p>I know for a fact that itsme is not a URM; if I may ask Marcusb435, what ethnicity are you?</p>

<p>i'm not a URM either. nor am i a legacy or an athlete, nor an intel finalist or even a perfect student.</p>

<p>i think they just liked my essays and the personal drive i showed.</p>

<p>They are definitely not sending it only to URMs. I'm Asian.</p>

<p>Did you guys get this letter by snail mail or email?</p>

<p>Snail mail I think.</p>

<p>^ well they scanned the letter, so I'm guessing snail mail</p>

<p>Do y'all reckon they are sending them to more than 10% of the future RD admits?</p>

<p>No... an article from the Daily on it said that they send it to about 120 applicants. That's about the same number as Yale and Harvard.</p>

<p>that article was dated 2006 though. so who knows.</p>

<p>Okay, this is a bit of an oldish topic, but who hasn't received their financial aid packet?
My likely letter was sent Feb 13th and I still haven't received my financial aid stuff.
Eeek.</p>

<p>My letter was in the first mailing, on Feb. 2nd, and i still haven't gotten mine yet. so yeah......</p>

<p>hey were any of you guys already admitted to Stanford Quest Bridge kids?</p>

<p>I am. I was admitted to Princeton back in December and received this letter from Stanford a few days ago. Search for my post on like page 8.</p>

<p>I wasn't, just a normal applicant</p>

<p>really, is stanford sending so many likely letter? and are they done sending out all of them yet or not really?</p>

<p>"that article was dated 2006 though. so who knows."</p>

<p>And faculty senate info supports it. So we do know.</p>

<p>whats the faculty senate?</p>

<p>i just found it hard to believe that i was one of only 120 kids.</p>
