Stanford 2016 Official Transfer Thread

@fainfolly @shooting4themoon Apart from unhealthy I also think its unreasonable. As of right now they say admissions won’t be released until May 15th. Unless they change the date to something else (like they always usually do) they will announce it. You won’t randomly have an acceptance/rejection lol

@FerPhys – that’s just another reason to check. I also look for announcements and updates.

Bump

Where would they post an announcement should they decide to change the decision date?

For some reason I can’t post the URL, but if you google “Stanford admission blog” it comes up as the first link.

Edit: then look at the recent posts of “ApplyStanford”

Hey guys, I’m a legacy applicant and my parent received a letter today from Stanford… Attached was an info page that says “Admission decisions will be released to applicants after 4pm (Pacific Time) May 6, 2016.” It also says that admission letters/packets will be mailed on May 12th. Not sure why this differs from the date listed online but I’m definitely not complaining :slight_smile:

They may also announce on their Facebook page the day of. That’s what they did for Regular Decision.

@gingie no way??? Any way we can get some proof of that? I can’t find that info anywhere on their page!

@FerPhys I could send you a photo of you’d like? Don’t know how comfortable I am about posting it publicly haha
Edit: Woah apparently I have two accounts on collegeconfidential? Chrome automatically logged me in on this one…

Woah! admissions decisions to be released may 6th at 4pm?! That’s pretty weird though, how the decision will be emailed to you and not available on the website. I guess we just wait and see what happens lol

@sleepystudent can you PM me too? [:

So I called the admission office, and the man I spoke to said that the date is linked here:
http://admission.stanford.edu/application/deadlines/

He said it will be no later than May 15th, and that the decision will be e-mailed so we won’t have to “log in” to give us an easier time.
Also, he said the admission office still have yet to confirm which date, so it won’t necessarily be on May 6th…

All good news

In other words, keep expecting the 15th. lol
If it comes earlier it’ll be a relieving surprise!

A girl from my CC got into both Cal Tech and Stanford last year, so anything is possible! Keep your hopes up guys and good luck!

The forum is quite dead. Let’s start some interesting topics while we wait around for approximately 3 more weeks!
“IF YOU GET ACCEPTED*, HOW WILL YOU CELEBRATE?”

Finally finish a novella I’ve been working on, I’ve denied myself the chance to write for TOO long

I’ll be up at Berkeley that weekend so I would go visit campus for the first time and buy a crap ton of gear lol xD

@shooting4themoon ayeeeeeee! The first I’d do is buy gear online as well! Unfortunately I’m too far from the campus (about 6 hrs) to just go buy gear from it! I’d massively rock Stanford gear!!

I might celebrate by going skydiving. A friend of mine is organizing a skydiving trip, but I’m anticipating how much I’ll have to save for moving, getting married, etc., so I haven’t bought my slot yet. I’ve always wanted to go.
