<p>I can vouch for the “earlier than stated” line. EA decisions were to come out Dec. 15, but actually came two days earlier. I heard that you will know what day it is because they will post something on their admissions blog that day, and it is a day the is within a day or two range of the Ivies.

<p>Stanford did have a big spike in the number of applications this year. Maybe they will actually realease when they said they would… Although I really hope they release early</p>
<p>Stay sunny side up, sunny. ;D Wish you the best of luck.</p>
<p>4 years ago they released on April 1st, I think.</p>

<p>the number of applicants will not be the reason for a change in date. They’ve made all the decisions already.</p>
<p>I mean, seriously. like 3 days more just because they have more applicants?</p>
<p>Actually, it is not entirely implausible. If it was a significant amount more than usual of acceptances, they may attempt to make space for the volume of traffic. On a more realistic note, they may do some last minute interviews or reviews of those truly on the fence and a higher volume of apps may mean more than usual are on that fence. However, I do admit it would not be 3 days more just to do this.</p>
<p>My point is who really knows? There was a spike in applicants, so it might have taken them longer to decide. There is a new admissions guy, maybe he wanted to do things differently. As of march 24th, they were not completely finished. So they could release tonight or Friday. After waiting 4 months, another 4 days won’t kill anyone.</p>
<p>I have a friend who got into Stanford last year and took a year off. He just said that he “got into Stanford again” on Facebook, implying that he just received information welcoming him to the class of 2015…maybe is a good sign for early news?</p>
<p>Major speculation of course, and it’s all futile, but fun!</p>
<p>Decisions could release in one minute. </p>
<p>…but probably not</p>
<p>Good luck, everybody. Whether decisions come today, tomorrow, or later, and whether you are accepted, waitlisted, or rejected, things will work out.</p>
<p>there goes 3PM PST today 
my money’s still on tomorrow for decisions then</p>
<p>Bueno suerte, gente!</p>
<p>Actually, it could be 5PM PST :)</p>
<p>Don’t they update the blog in the morning that decisions will be released?</p>
<p>Yes.
10char count</p>
<p>@Updawg: sure seems that way for release cycles the last couple years.</p>
<p>So we really only need to wait until 12 PM PST to know if decisions will be released tomorrow… not 3 or 5.</p>
<p>Everyday, at 12:15 EST, I check the Stanford undergrad admissions news…</p>
<p>^Dang .</p>
<p>they should just admit everybody on Apr. 1st, then send April Fools emails to 96% of the applicants.</p>
