<p>Good luck to everyone else!!!</p>
<p>My post is not a joke. Just making that clear.</p>
<p>bump.
remember boys and girls, don’t make a new one.</p>
<p>I understand. Now I want an early approval letter.</p>
<p>@Thanks nglosh
@dpattz haha if you are patient just wait 20 or so more days for the real deal.</p>
<p>Someone should have the mods peg this to the top … or whatever they call it when they force it to stay at the top so that the thread doesn’t disappear into oblivion…</p>
<p>hmm…so when does stanford decision come out?? someone on this site said march 26 or something like it?</p>
<p>Stanford’s website says 5 PM PST, April 1st.</p>
<p>So they are waiting until the last possible moment…booo.</p>
<p>Stanfords RD decisions will come out before April 1st though. They released SCEA decisions earlier than they said they would as well.</p>
<p>^good point – they might be conservative when they say 4/1 just in case they don’t finish in time.</p>
<p>Or they just want 30,000 high school students to die of a heart attack when they send out the e-mail “YOUR ADMISSIONS DECISION FROM STANFORD” … that way they can weed out some more people just in case their class overflows this year. JK I’m sure the Stanford people are nice and good people.</p>
<p>It would at least make me jump, because G-mail has an auto-refresh feature, and I always have my e-mail open.</p>
<p>Hahaha. April 1st.</p>
<p>Congrats on making it into Stanford!!!</p>
<p>April Fools!!</p>
<p>That’d be horrible.</p>
<p>How do we find out? Email?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yap.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ROFL!</p>
<p>My money is on either March 27th or March 30th.</p>
<p>ab-I like your location.</p>
<p>Me too.</p>
<p>10 chars</p>
<p>bump
10char</p>
<p>oooops. there be a new one pinned to the top.</p>
<p>PLEASE USE THE RD THREAD PINNED TO THE TOP. IGNORE THIS ONE.</p>
<p>I’m just wondering, why did we make a new one? So it’s less cluttered (i.e., less random posts)?</p>
<p>^precisely.</p>
