RD Decision Date - 4/1/11

<p>Unfortunately decisions will not be released tomorrow and are expected to be released on 4/1.</p>

<p>Below is an update from the admission blog:</p>

<p>An Update on Admission Decisions
March 24, 2011</p>

<p>Freshman applicants should read this update on the release of decisions from the Director of Admission.</p>

<p>The Office of Undergraduate Admission is expected to complete its evaluation and selection process in the next few days. As a result, applicants are asked to refrain from submitting any new updates, notifications of awards or honors, and letters of recommendation. We will no longer be able to consider any new materials sent from this point forward.</p>

<p>We are still on schedule to release all freshman admission decisions on Friday, April 1 after 3pm (Pacific Time). All admission decisions will be sent via email from <a href="mailto:admission@stanford.edu">admission@stanford.edu</a> and will be signed by Richard Shaw, Dean of Undergraduate Admission and Financial Aid. Decisions will not be posted on any Stanford Web site and only applicants offered admission will be sent any information by mail. Admitted students will be mailed a packet of materials (including their official offer of admission letter). All other decisions will be sent to students via email — including those students offered a space on our waiting list. All admission decisions will be final and given the highly selective nature of our process, we cannot consider any appeals whatsoever. We never, ever reverse an admission decision once it has been officially rendered.</p>

<p>Between now and April 1, please understand that we will not provide any additional information about the release of admission decisions by phone and we will not release any admission decisions over the phone under any circumstances, with the exception of students who have not received their admission decisions beginning the week of April 4.</p>

<p>We have been truly humbled by this year's selection process. We have tremendous respect for the students who put so much time and effort into their applications and who have worked so hard over the last several years to present us with incredibly compelling cases for consideration.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, roughly 94% of those who have applied will not be offered admission this year. We recognize how stressful this process can be for our applicants but we take great solace in knowing that any student who is even a candidate for admission to a place like Stanford will have wonderful college options, whether it be Stanford or another great university.
With great respect and best wishes to all of our candidates,
Bob</p>

<p>Admission</a> News : Stanford University</p>

<p>Don’t they say this every year and still release the next day?</p>

<p>The difference is that this update says that they will finish decisions in the next couple of days and therefore admission decisions cannot be released tomorrow. Stanford traditionally releases on Fridays so April 1 is very likely as the letter also explicitly states April 1 after 3 PM and not by April 1.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, roughly 94% of those who have applied will not be offered admission this year. </p>

<p>doesnt this just sound terrible? :frowning: hi, i’m sure im one of them!</p>

<p>Can’t wait to open “Your Stanford University Admission Decision” in psychology. Can’t wait to have all 25 people tell me “I’m sorry you didn’t get in!”</p>

<p>6% is really low though, can’t imagine what it would be like in another five years. We can probably shoot for 1% rate for HYPSM by then.</p>

<p>Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 1 more week!!! Dammit!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure if they only have a few decisions left to make, if any at all, then they’ll want to finish them up and “mail” them ASAP once finished. You really think they’re going to finish by Monday (if and only if they haven’t already) and then wait 4 whole days to release decisions? They say it themselves every year, that they don’t want the applicants to stress out over the situation, so by releasing early, they curb some of that stress.</p>

<p>I’m dying to know TOMORROW. I didn’t really understand: Was there a similar situation before last year’s decisions?</p>

<p>on the bright side, thats 7 more days of being a Stanford hopeful as opposed to a Stanford reject.</p>

<p>^^^^^^^ very much true</p>

<p>@karenoona: yup, Stanford posted the exact same message only on the 19th (and said 93% would be rejected, not 94%). It’s still on the Admissions news page. Oh, and they released the decisions early anyway :)</p>

<p>Thanks, dalipaints!!! Oh, I hope I hope.</p>

<p>I have a feeling that decisions won’t be posted tomorrow but perhaps Monday or Tuesday–I can’t see them releasing decisions after the Ivies. I don’t think they’ve done that in awhile.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>YES! I have one more week to look smart by saying I applied to Stanford… before the rest of my life I have to look stupid by saying I got rejected.</p>

<p>^You definitely don’t have to tell people you got rejected at Stanford for the rest of your life (if you don’t get in)- you don’t even have to tell them you even applied. Focus on where you do go- if not Stanford I’m sure it will be some other really good school!</p>

<p>I was really hoping for a decision tomorrow. I’m just so tired of waiting. Whether it’s a yes or a no, the wait is just excruciating. :/</p>

<p>I really want to hear from Stanford before the Ivies. I have heard that they always pull a stunt like this before releasing. So, I am hopeful for tomorrow’s news</p>

<p>“on the bright side, thats 7 more days of being a Stanford hopeful as opposed to a Stanford reject.”</p>

<p>@ Qwerty. SOOOOOO true. Way to be positive</p>

<p>…but this deferred EA kid CANNOT WAIT! My bet is they come out tomorrow, but I’de rather not spend my friday staring at my computer screen and waiting…</p>

<p>Stanford likes to surprise people. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out tomorrow/</p>
