<p>Haha but if you have a gmail id then a bit of the email body text shows up in gray next to the subject line in your inbox. </p>
<p>And the first line of the email will probably read 'Congratulations...' or 'We're sorry...' </p>
<p>So there'll be no point opening the thing because you'll know whether or not to celebrate as soon as you get to your inbox. </p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Dang I'm such a pessimist.</p>
<p>Oh No !! I am using GMAIL too.
I would be devastated to see the word "regret".</p>
<p>I don't think that Gmail snippets shall present a problem as the 1st line of the e-mail has to be about addressing and recognizing the applicant by name.....Could you please answer my questions:
Guys I have a question. If a major honour has been bestowed upon me today, is there any way that I can communicate that to the Admissions Office? Maybe by calling the regional co-ordinator. Would that be alright?
PLEASE......</p>
<p>12 days ! .</p>

<p>depends. did you like win the Padmashri or something? In which case go right ahead. </p>
<p>otherwise you might look a little desperate. And I dunno stanford seems more into the laid-back look at me i'm smart but don't care-ish type. </p>
<p><em>shrug</em></p>
<p>your call</p>
<p>Hehe...Nothing like the Padmashri.....just wanted to let them know.....and I said major because it's something that would supplement the info I've provided in the app......thanks for the response.....</p>
<p>11 days. 10char</p>
<p>Hey guys, I'm just wondering. 3 people from my class have already been accepted to Stanford via sports recruiting, so does that in anyway affect my chances?</p>
<p>Wow, three?!?! That is insane. I would hope that did not have a bearing on your admission.</p>
<p>Ok, good.
My school is obsessed with sports, so there are already 3 to Stanford, 3 to Harvard, 2 to UPenn, a few to Duke, etc. It's really crazy!!!</p>
<p>that's CRAZY!!
we have 1 recruit to columbia and that's it..</p>
<p>11 daysss!</p>
<p>Ah well I just hope recruiting won't affect our chances anywhere!!!</p>
<p>I wish they would notify us on a Friday instead of Monday...it will set the mood for the whole week when we find out on a Monday - and that could be a very good thing, or a very bad thing...eeeek!</p>
<p>honestly
the thing im not looking forward to is having tot ell everyone i didnt get in
i think i could deal with the fact tha ti got rejected/deferred, but then having to tell everyone over and over again? too much.</p>
<p>Absolutely right, Oprah.
That will suck.</p>
<p>Whooaaa! Manzagal3: I'm from Orange County, too, and that's whacky about all the recruits from your school!! It makes me nervous to think the O.C.'s a big feeder for athletic recruits :/ What city are you from?</p>
<p>I agree about the Friday thing, too. Only, I wish it could be Friday the 12th. Or just tomorrow would be nice.</p>
<p>You're right Oprah!, that's one of the things I'm concerned about as well....That is why I keep telling everyone that the result is going to be released after January.....well I keep telling different ppl. different things....hehe....Nobody here knows that it does come out in December.....</p>
<p>I personally don't have that problem because I didn't tell anybody (except a few close friends, of course) that I applied to Stanford. 99% of the kids at my school are merely looking forward to in-state public schools.</p>
<p>10 days !!!!</p>
<p>c1ndy and I have the same approach, although my school is very competitive (5+people to Harvard last year...<em>gulp</em>). I haven't told anyone.</p>
<p>You guys could try establishing a precedent now that won't cause suspicion in December when you refuse to share your admissions result.</p>
