Finally this thread is gaining some traction! I yearn for these conversations to help quenching my ever brimming anxiety, but at the same time how I wish someone can just convince me that there is no hope, so I can stop investing time and energy in useless anticipations. I am sure the fate is already sealed and this realization makes one powerless. The days leading to the admission results feels like hiking blindly on a mountain trail. For only a handful of people, this trail leads ever higher to eventually reach the top, but for most of us, 100 feet ahead is a steep 1000 ft drop of cliff! I deduced that the best strategy, for me at least, is to halt and divert my path before reaching that unforgiving abyss of despair just to be safe and keep in mind that other paths can lead to the top too.

What’s the chance decisions will be released this Friday? Are they slim? 50/50?
this is an old video, it might help us understanding the Stanford admission officers’ thoughts
Could you link to the separate thread please? Thanks 
@itzperez
DECISIONS WILL BE RELEASED IN DECEMBER 8th confirmed on the Stanford website good luck everyone
Omg I saw the breaking news. Honestly don’t know if I want to know immediately or if I just want to delay the awful rejection 
Here’s the link for reference: https://admission.stanford.edu/apply/decision_process/index.html
It is going to be a long couple of days
Thanks for the update!
D just screamed when she found out!
Appreciate that they updated the date tonight. At least we know now.
I don’t know how I’ll survive the next few days
Just to divert a bit from the anxiety
Has anyone ever had any dream abt the result??
I had a super weird one in which Stanford mailed me a handwritten reject and wished me happy birthday I’m so confused
I know- it’s crazy. Really happy that it’s the 8th so this can be over!
Omg Stanford please just let me in
@WillowWitch Not me though, my mom. I’m international. So she had a dream where we were getting on a plane and she told me to wear a sweater and I told her, “Don’t worry, it’s hot.” Or something like that.
I mean, relative to other places in the US, Stanford weather is “hot”.
Thank God it’s the 8th. Whew.
I keep thinking that i’ll rejected then i think about how I’ll celebrate if I got in. It’s messed up, I can’t even
I’m so happy that the decision is released on the 8th. It saves me a week of anxiety.
By the way, does anyone happen to know (from previous years, maybe) exactly what time of the day decisions are released? I don’t know whether I should be checking for the decision in the morning or whether I should just wait until the afternoon… (well either way, I would be so anxious that I would be checking the whole day)
Where you from @gigichuck
it says 4PM PT
My D has a dream a week ago that she got accepted by Stanford. It would be like a dream come true for her.
