<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>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>
