<p>What if someone didn’t turn those in? FASFA is due January I believe, and CSS isn’t required unless you want financial aid from Stanford.</p>
<p>wait, why do we think it’s a fact that it’ll be the 14th?? ahhh i need to know this friday. otherwise i won’t be able to start any other apps and have very little time to do them before january 1st!!</p>
<p>you can always start now, and because of the legacy letter they sent out, hurricane sandy etc…</p>
<p>I too want the decisions to be this Friday, and though I expect it will be the 14th. However, I don’t think the legacy letter necessarily means it has to be the 14th – apparently, in years past, the results have been released before the date indicated on the legacy letter. With that said, if results were to be released this Friday, I would have expected Stanford to release the numbers of SCEA applicants by now as they normally do, which leads me to believe that they are behind their normal schedule and will release results on the 14th. I would not be completely surprised if they released it on the 7th, however.</p>
<p>I don’t know how much pushing back the due date affected their process. I know they usually do not begin reading applications until after Thanksgiving, but I don’t know how much pushing the “getting papers in their right spots” process would be affected by a few extra days. I’m kind of thinking that the hurricane extension won’t be responsible for our date, but I don’t know if that is a correct assumption.</p>
<p>Our date situation was messy to begin with. Generally, decisions are released the Friday before the 15th (although it may be the Friday before the legacy letter). Since the 15th is a Saturday, this could mean either the 14th (literal) or the 7th (by approximate amount of time). If it is the Friday before the legacy letter, then it would be the 7th. I also heard someone mention that it is usually two weeks after Thanksgiving. We had an early Thanksgiving, but two weeks after would be the 7th.</p>
<p>We just got an especially aggravating set of circumstances.</p>
<p>I’m gonna die if they’re announced on the 7th. It needs to be next week.</p>
<p>Well, yes, aggravating indeed.</p>
<p>I’ve been killing puppies to pass the time.</p>
<p>Hopefully the results are released soon.</p>
<p>I’m running out of puppies.</p>
<p>On a side note, this whole deal is kind of like predicting the end of the world. If you predict the world will end, and you’re right, you have no one to brag to. Thus, I guarantee the results will be released this Friday, December 7th.</p>
<p>But seriously, killing puppies isn’t funny.</p>

<p>Is it a problem if I didn’t put my common app ID on the scores when i self reported them? I realized a while after that they want the common app ID on the self reported test scores but I already got in…
Also, I took an SAT on Nov 3rd and the deadline for stanford through questbridge was november 1 so i called in and they said that I didn’t have to send that score…</p>
<p>Nathanea, you can always call stanford and see what’s up, they were very helpful with sorting me out when the testing services had some issues. </p>
<p>I want it to be the 7th soooo bad. I got all my apps done very early because I was proactive…I have been waiting for months!! To get you a picture of how I have had to spend my time I have 1) done a play at school, 2) played tons of guitar 3) begun to teach myself programming for the lolz 4) bought forza 4 , and more just to pass the time haha. SOOO MUCH WAIT.</p>
<p>deregon, yea I’m going to call them tomorrow. I dont know where this idea of the 7th came from but im pretty sure it’s the 15th. My friend its completely obsessed with this school and has been talking about it for months now, and it says the 15th on their website.</p>

<p>How much does Stanford usually care about SAT scores? I am very happy with mine, so in this case, I’m hoping that they make a big deal out of SATs this year. I hope it at least makes up for my lack of a 4.0 (although 4.0’s are a very rare occurrence at my school. I’ve met two or three people who have ever gotten one).</p>
<p>I’m not done with apps, but I’m done with drafts that don’t need TOO much work. I’ve been learning programming as well, and playing music, and spending insane amounts of time on reddit… I just need to hear my decision and get on with my life.</p>
<p>@nathanea: It’s not the 15th. It’s always before. They say “by December 15th,” and they sent out a letter to legacy families saying that decisions would be released the 14th. Additionally, decisions are always quite a bit early.</p>
<p>Ya, it’s better for them to say a later date and come out earlier than to announce an earlier date and have to push it back for one reason or another.</p>
<p>I think Stanford gives to much respect to athletic achievement.
They, and we are shills of the freak ‘athletic entertainment complex’ that polluted our principles.</p>
<p>Although our athletic complex is very old-human and lacks many principles, in my humble opinion, if athletic achievement can be obtained- showing the maximum physical capabilities of humans, then it is something to be respected. The olympics brings the world together, and seeing people dedicated to something is very respectable. As for “fan fair” nuttyness and riot of NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. I think it is a little crazy, but everyone has there own tastes! Athletics achievement in any form really does express something amazing, though, and so it should be respected.</p>
<p>^ Perhaps but not at the expense of academics. It just kills me how important recruitment is in the college admissions process, at these institutions that fundamentally are supposed to be about intellectual development</p>
<p>Okay, I agree, there is probably too much emphasis on athletics at the expense of academics. Not because the athletes aren’t great, but only because the athletes are taking the spots of students who have the intellectual vitality to go on to do much greater things for the world than physical performance. </p>
<p>Of course, “greater things” is very subjective, but in my humble opinion, curing things like world hunger, disease, corruption, poverty, stress, suffering, etc. are more important than showing that a human can do a triple back flip on a balance beam.</p>

<p>This is kind of ambiguous, it says 300 athlete scholarships then goes on to say 800 in college sports. Does that mean 500 participate in college sports but also had the stats to get in? If that is true, then I take back what I said previously, as 300 athletes at a school of over 6,000 students seems perfectly reasonable to me.</p>
<p>Probably including those who participate in the club and intramural sports</p>
<p>So I was just doing my Japanese homework, trying to not think about Stanford, and of course, one of the questions (going from Japanese katakana characters to English words) LITERALLY was “Stanford.” I just… I can’t escape it.</p>
<p>I hope it’s a good sign.</p>
