I think the surprise is good. The Ivy Leagues and MIT you know to the minute when decisions come out, which makes for a very nerve-wracking day or two. It was definitely a looming distraction for at least a week beforehand. </p>

<p>I don’t know if this is Stanford’s intention with releasing decisions earlier than announced, but it is definitely one benefit. </p>

<p>On the other hand, one may argue that with the other schools one can at least prepare to be alone in a room if desired when the decision comes. Stanford probably tries to counteract this by ensuring that their surprise doesn’t occur during school hours for the majority of applicants (aka past 5:30 central).</p>

<p>Also I bet they release a couple hours after the Ivy Leagues on the 31st. I give it a 13% chance that they release on April 1st :).</p>

<p>They know that roughly 94% will be rejected because they have a set number of applicants and a predicted yield. That is the only information necessary to approximate acceptance rate.</p>

163

<p>@Purepecha: Yes I did, I sent in a fax form etc. the procedure to notify them about new awards and such. Stanford said they were interested in seeing this information from me o:</p>

164

<p>Really hope it comes out today :slight_smile: probably will be a rejection but it’ll be nice to hear soon.</p>

165

<p>I agree with the above post 100%</p>

166

<p>If it were coming out today, Stanford would post an announcement about it, right? Anyone know, based on previous years’ information, when that would come out?</p>

167

<p>Doesn’t really make sense that they’d make that post then send decisions out the next day…they’ll probably still be earlier than 4/1, but I’m guessing still sometime next week.</p>

<p>I hope I’m wrong though. I was really looking forward to today ><</p>

<p>Ipod Shuffle?! HAHAHAHAH</p>

169

<p>^haha lol what</p>

170

<p>Just to tell you guys … </p>

<p>NYU that what supposed to release the decision on April 1st … just released them right now … So maybe the same for Stanford …</p>

<p>Just saying :D</p>

171

<p>^ no. no. no. Stanford will not release decisions today.</p>

172

<p>I’ll believe it when I don’t see it.</p>

173

<p>Well it seems as if Stanford always sends the emails at 3PM PST and that has passed so… it’s really not happening today.</p>

174

<p>I thought it was suppose to come out at 5 pm, not 3 (if it was to come out)</p>

175

<p>It also seems as if Stanford sends the email the Friday before April 1st, and that didn’t happen. So who knows? I doubt it too. I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate.</p>

176

<p>As you can probably see from last years decision posts, it came out at about 5:30 on March 26th. March 26th was a friday last year. That’s the reason people are assuming it might be today.</p>

177

<p>There was no update post on Stanford’s admissions news, like there should have been if the results are indeed coming out today.</p>

<p>The decisions will not be coming out today.</p>

<p>I mean if you insist you can wait for the next hour or so but nothing will happen… </p>

<p>yes Stanford has been releasing decisions on the last friday before April 1st but this year April 1st is friday.</p>

178

<p>saturday, 3 am pacific time. set your alarm clocks.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Not sure if I should be laughing at the sarcasm (if that’s indeed what it is) or take the comment seriously…</p>

<p>@ Sleet: Don’t take it seriously. No college ever releases it at 3 am. Latest I heard was 12 am. lol. Just ignore it and just assume it’s Monday now</p>
