Stanford Class of 2021 Applicant Discussion

@sodapop027 I hope what you’re saying is right because I need every chance I can get to get in!

@vasodys @sodapop027 You’re saying it’s harder to get in if you’re from California?

@alr33zy Not necessarily. 30% of Stanford students are from California, so you do have a high chance of getting there if you’re from there, but it doesn’t mean that people from outside CA have no chance of getting in.

@vasodys Oh, so really it’s more or less the same for in-state and out-of-state applicants?

Actually the chance of getting into Stanford if you do not live in California is higher.

Yeah, you have a lower chance of getting in if you’re from California because the WAY higher amount of applicants coming from California than from places like, say, North Dakota (Which explains why Stanford has a large cali populace). They want geographic diversity, too, but it’s not a deal breaker and being a Californian gives no significant advantage afaik.

Does anyone know what time QB results are released?

@AznDude525 Probably 5 p.m. PST That’s when the REA results are released.

When will we know whether decisions will be on the 9th or the 15th?

@TheCollegeRiyer if it’s on the 9th, you should know by the 7th

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but last year admissions tweeted days prior to the release. You guys will have to search on Twitter. Under Stanford Admissions. If you scroll down to last year you’ll see that they tweeted when decisions would be released. Good luck to all of you.

Are QB results out now?

QB results have been out since 3:00 pm Eastern time

Someone should bump the results thread then…

Very few posts over on the match thread on the QB subforum under the Financial Aid forum.

I think so far there’s only been one person from the QB results thread who’s been matched w stanford

To those reading this thread who got matched for QB - CONGRATULATIONS YOU GUYS!!!

And please post on the REA results thread here on the Stanford forum!

For those who sent updates to your regional admission officers, did you get an email back from them addressing the updates? I sent my updates two days ago, and my admissions officer has not responded to the email (He usually responds within 2 hours)

Yes I got a response the following morning saying they added the updates to my file.
