<p>HOLY COW! I got a letter saying I was approved early for admission to Stanford. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I thought it was a lost cause. I am in shock. And I was in tears. Man, this just made my day.</p>
<p>Congrats! That's awesome. : D Is Stanford your first choice?</p>
<p>yep. it was my top choice (even though i've never visited before). but now i have the chance to see what it's like.</p>
<p>Oh, wow! I didn't know Stanford sent out letters like that. That's so exciting! Congratulations!!!</p>
<p>Congratulations! You must be on cloud nine. What do you think made you stand out, especially for an early admission decision?</p>
<p>Were you early decision or regular?</p>
<p>Congratulations!!!!!! It must be such a relief to know where you're going.</p>
<p>WOW Congrats! Good work on getting into Stanford :D</p>
<p>Congrats!!! Are you a regular decision applicant? Just curious.</p>
<p>Congrats!!! you must have been an outstanding applicant to get such a notification so early (assuming you were RD). Unless this is a common practice... Either way, Congratulations!</p>
<p>Venusinfurs thats cool!</p>
<p>Looks like your early acceptance was triggered via Questbridge RD?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Yeah I applied through QuestBridge and wasn't matched, and then I got an early notification for the regular decision round. So, yeah, I guess so. I actually ruled Stanford out of my possible college choices (even though it was my number one choice) because I didn't want to get my hopes up and I thought that they must have lost my application in the process of forwarding it to the regular decision pool because every time I checked the status of my application, it would say, "Sorry we're too busy to track it, try again later." But man, this is really surprising. I guess they didn't lose my application after all.</p>
<p>Wow!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Congratulations!!!!</p>
<p>Hey, I got the early approval too! (Not through questbridge) btw I am an RD applicant. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how many people get this? Is it everyone or just a special select pool?</p>
<p>tokenadult's post gives some info. congrats, lmanuelli!</p>
<p>Congrats to you guys! I remember feeling like this a month and half ago when I was accepted SCEA. Also, if you read through the above thread you'll learn that people accepted through "early approval" are clear admits who would be accepted at every other top school! You guys have a lot to be proud about and I hope to see you in college next year, wherever you end up!</p>
<p>Thanks, theprez, for finding the link to the thread from last year. I see the likely letters came out at about the same date this year as last year. Congratulations to the recipients. I expect you'll enjoy The Farm. Best wishes to all of you still waiting for news--after all, most regular round admitted students don't hear their news until the usual notification date.</p>
<p>congratulations!! :D</p>
<p>Wow.... Again, know any internationals who got this out here?</p>
