Stanford Class of 2023 Discussion

Is there anyone who got that email who is not URM? Curious if the email is specially about diversity or if its just Stanford admissions as a whole.

I’m a girl but that’s it. I’m white. I applied for art though on October 15th

I got the email and I am not a URM. I am first generation though.

does anyone know the deferral rate of last years applicants?

I’m new to this but what’s URM? Can someone explain please

I got an email a week and half later about Stanford. It discussed diversity.

@Radm02 URM means “under-represented minority” which basically identifies you as either black or hispanic or a specific type of Asian (Vietnamese, Filipino, or Hmong). Many people say that being a URM gives you an edge in the admissions process, because you are under-represented on the college campus

God this wait is just killing me

Thank you! I am a URM. Girl, African American. Idk if that gives me an “edge”…

I applied for psychology. I feel like this is a competitive major so idk my chances

I gotta say, like i envy the athletes and questbridge kids who already got in, like go on instagram or twitter and use the #stanford2023 tag, and u gonna find like these kids who already got in. Waiting for this decision is just killing me

probably a little, but its not gonna come down to a deciding factor

anyone know how many kids on this thread???

I received the diversity email. Am not first-gen nor URM.

Just curious, what is this diversity email ?

I didn’t get a diversity email, does that mean I definitely didn’t get in???

no, I’m pretty sure it’s based on when you submitted your application. I think you’re fine

Obviously not. The only way you will know is tomorrow when you check the portal.

I am literally sOOoOoOoOoOo nervous help

So um fellas I just found out from my counselor that nobody from my school has ever gotten in :confused:
