<p>sigh, why cant they just release them today? >: ( … :(</p>
<p>come on…</p>
<p>Maybe they will come out today. They always release right before the Ivies.
Why would this year be different?</p>
<p>because the admissions news hasn’t been updated for today.</p>
<p>^ They may want to surprise you with your admissions decisions!</p>
<p>And, just send them out without notification.</p>
<p>it is possible, but they updated the news for EA so I would assume they would for RD as well.</p>
<p>So anticlimactic…</p>
<p>Admission Decisions Released Early
March 29, 2011</p>
<p>Admission decisions will, in fact, be released sometime after 3pm (Pacific Time) today, March 29, several days ahead of schedule.</p>
<p>The Office of Undergraduate Admission has completed its evaluation and selection process earlier than expected and to alleviate anxiety among our applicants and their families, we will release all admission decisions sometime today after 3pm. All decisions will be sent via email from Richard Shaw, Dean of Admission and Financial Aid, and will not be available on any Stanford website. Students who are admitted will also be mailed a formal offer letter of admission today as well. To avoid sending disappointing news twice, we will not mail paper copies of decisions to students who are not offered admission. Please do not call the Office for admission decisions as we will not release them by phone.</p>
<p>Of the 34,350 applications received, a total of 2440 students (7.1%) will be admitted. An additional 1078 students will be offered a space on our waitlist. Regrettably, we cannot consider any letters or calls of appeal whatsoever. All admission decisions are final and we never alter any admission decision once it has been rendered.</p>
<p>As I mentioned in my March 24th update, we were humbled by this year’s admission process and we have great respect for those students who have applied for admission. We wish all of our candidates the best and know that they will all have a wonderful collegiate experience.</p>
<p>Please be aware that the Office of Undergraduate Admission will close today at 3pm to complete the mailing process. We will re-open Wednesday at 8:30am.</p>
<p>Take care,</p>

<p>!!!o.0!!</p>
<p>^YES! Good luck to all of YALL!!</p>
<p>I loved how Bob included that the admissions office will be closed after 3. I guess he doesn’t want to answer phone calls of angry parents!!!</p>
<p>OUCH 7.1% admit rate! Anyone have an idea of Harvard’s admit rate for the class of 2015?</p>
<p>Fwiw, I think asserting that what the Ivy League does is a major factor for Stanford’s decision-making is unbecoming of prospective Stanford students. In other words - if you get in this week, would you like to think that the school you’ll be going to is not independent, but merely spinning around the East Coast elite schools?</p>
<p>Edit: It’s great to find out! Still, I don’t think it has to do with the Ivies :)</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>EEEP! I just saw that too!</p>
<p>Argh argh argh argh</p>
<p>Let the madness ensue.</p>
<p>On the bright side–they kept the admission rate virtually the same as last year (about 7% vs. the 6% earlier reports indicated), so given the increased number of applications, that means about 35-40 more people will be receiving good news today than previously thought. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Additionally, a waitlist seems to mean pretty much nothing as they’re waitlisting almost half as many as they admit. The only way a significant number of people get off the waitlist is if their yield drops considerably.</p>
<p>Harvard has a yield of 70% or something. The school that, by far, takes most students from Harvard is actually not MIT, Princeton or Yale. It’s Stanford.</p>
<p>I think that’s correct, komaronmy. The chances of being admitted from the waitlist are generally vanishingly small. Still, there’s no harm in taking a spot on it if it is offered, since you never know how things may turn out.</p>
<p>HOLY CRAP THIS IS REAL. </p>
