<p>Nah, Sorry buds. Stanford’s posted on the admissions site that “Due to the delay in receiving applications from Hurricane Sandy victims, Stanford Restrictive Early Action admissions results will not be released until Monday, December 17th. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”</p>

<p>^Where did you see that? We got our alumni letter quite a bit after Sandy and it gave us the 12/14 date. Waiting another weekend would stink.</p>
<p>@camomof3 - smh…</p>
<p>I don’t see that message on the site either, do you have a link? Thanks!</p>
<p>Got trolled. Got trolled and rickrolled.</p>
<p>Don’t you dare rickroll us in our fragile states!</p>
<p>that was horrifying, until i clicked the link…</p>
<p>THATLINK LOL Should’ve seen that coming…</p>
<p>If I was a Stanford adcom, I would read this thread and lol so hard at the loser applicants who are freaking out. </p>
<p>But I’m not, so I’ll just continue to freak out and hope that my application goes into the pile that I want it to. Crazy that decisions have already been made about some of us, huh?</p>
<p>Lol! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I hope no one is permanently paralyzed. 
Anyways we’re all taking this way too seriously, gotten lighten the mood. Most of us aren’t going to get in, some of these schools are so competitive it’s just a crap shoot!</p>
<p>Fortunately, most of us will get into one of the “second tier” schools that are hardly a second tier at all, as they’re just as good!</p>
<p>I know I’ll be totally happy at UC Berkeley, and I’m sure you guys will all love your “competitive safeties”. </p>
<p>So just accept you didn’t get in, and move on now. If a nice letter comes that tells you otherwise, pleasant surprise ;).</p>
<p>Lol, of course I still can’t do this :p</p>
<p>Internal monologue: “Oh man it will be travesty for society if I don’t get admitted.”</p>
<p><em>Doesn’t get admitted</em></p>
<p>“Oh man, what is society coming to?”</p>
<p><em>Thinks for a little bit</em></p>
<p>“Wait… this means that there is at least 2000 other people in the world that seemed more promising to professional admissions officers than me. No pressure on having to save the world or anything now, it’s in there hands! Cowa Bunga!”</p>
<p><em>Thinks a little more</em></p>
<p>“No they just ****ed up. Back to the lab again. I’ll show these Mofos what a man can do at Berkeley!”</p>

<p>“Oh ****, Stanford was right”</p>
<p>I was actually less freaked out when I saw your post, until I clicked the link. It was Rick Astley that bothered me. :)</p>
<p>@coffeeandtea</p>
<p>LOL! Yeh, pretty freaky video. Is it strange that I want to break out into his dance?</p>
<p>So, when do you all think Stanford’s decisions are coming out? The 7th or the 14th? I’m just curious to see what y’all think.</p>
<p>@Adodie</p>
<p>I’m really hoping that they come out on the 7th, but I’m pretty sure it will be on the 14th tbh. The 7th would be really early all things considered, especially if Sandy delayed things initially. Plus the legacy letters say the 14th, but I guess we can’t really base anything from that</p>
<p>I think 7th, but the 14th wouldn’t surprise me at all. I’m just trying to be optimistic about it. I don’t trust the legacy letters because they always say that and decisions pretty much always come out before that.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how we actually receive these decisions? Do they come through email or do you have to check your application status?</p>
<p>@kolbe here’s how it will happen, as far as we know:</p>
<ol>
<li>The morning of Decision Day, a message will appear on Stanford’s Admissions website telling us that the decisions will be released that day. </li>
<li>After 3:30 PM on Decision Day, every applicant will receive an email from the Director of Admissions with their actual admission decision. The possibilities are: Accepted, Wait listed to the Regular Decision round, or Rejected. </li>
<li>On December 15th, an official acceptance letter will be mailed to accepted students. No letters will be sent to rejected students. We are not sure whether wait listed students will be sent a letter. </li>
</ol>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>“After 3:30 PM on Decision Day, every applicant will receive an email from the Director of Admissions with their actual admission decision.”</p>
<p>Ugh, that’s <em>2:30am</em> in our time zone. No sleep that night! Hopefully we’ll be able to wake up the neighbors with middle-of-the-night cheers of joy…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, this is right. Only thing is that it will be 3 PM, not 3:30. And also they call it “deferred,” not wait-listed.</p>
<p>@KSAMom Oh wow, that’s early!! I definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep. I hope so for you too! :)</p>
<p>@Holocene, thanks for the correct information! Even sooner, that’s terrific :)</p>
