@jgreg30 I set mine away for a while after submitting and forgot about them until a few days ago when I dug some supplements up for other essays. Let me just say, time does wonders to application… something complete crap three weeks ago, now looks a little OK.
Feeling pretty good about my application, good luck everyone! Hopefully in six weeks a lot of us are happy
Just submitted mine two days ago! honestly dry-heaving everytime i think about it i swear i re-read my app at least 5 times before I submitted it
^ haha yeah! Now we just wait. It’s out of our hands but we’ve done our best ^^
Best of luck to all of you!! The application process has definitely been one of the more stressful things I’ve experience.
Does anyone have siblings there? I hit submit and know it’s out of my hands now… I have done everything to share who I am but worry about letting my big brother down because he is in his 5th year and leaving with his Masters in June and I really want to follow him. Best of luck to everyone it would be great to become classmates!
Just submitted feeling good and relieved!
I submitted my app yesterday! I feel good about my application. Couldn’t have done any better. I can still feel my heart pounding. Now 1.5 months for the result (the worst is we can’t do anything during this time period).
Best of luck! 8-X
I applied two weeks ago but still haven’t received a confirmation email from Stanford. On Stanford’s website it said it can take up to three weeks from the deadline to get this email. Has anyone who has already applied gotten this email and/or should I be worried?
I got my confirmation already which just tells u to add them to your email list and sign in to website. if yu haven’t gotten it, yu should email stanford… probably
After the three weeks definetely email… I sent my app yesterday at about 3PM PST and got my email at about 2AM today. Good luck!
Or maybe check to see if it’s in your spam
lol I got the email near 2am as well.
I haven’t got the email, but maybe that’s because I submitted the app yesterday, but only paid the application fee several hours ago.
Btw, I just reread my app and found a spelling mistake … Bentley Park instead of Bletchley Park (wth was I thinking then !!!) My supplemental essays and common app are pretty solid and interesting, I would say. Will that spelling error jeopardize my chances?
I turned my application in earlier today so will I get the email tomorrow maybe?
@nangkhieu Maybe the adcom won’t notice it…?
…
@Nanotech123 The 11:59 was for EDT. You were supposed to submit before 9pm PDT.
@Ballerina2016 @Nanotech123 That’s not true. According to the Common App:
“The application deadline is at 11:59 PM of the stated deadline date. The deadline time is either your local time zone or the school’s time zone, whichever is later. This means that you always have the full day of the stated deadline to submit your application.”
Stanford will likely extend the deadline as compensation.
Turned in my app at ten. I ended up changing up all of my essays this morning because I saw something wrong with each of them, but I didn’t have enough time to proofread them as much as I wanted to because I had other apps to work on. I have zero confidence now and I’m too scared to look at my essays to see if theyre good enough.
To future applicants looking at this thread: DO NOT PROCRASTINATE.
@nuimancel I received the email this morning. So approximately 20 hours from when I paid the fee. And yeah I hope they wont notice it
