this is a true statement

Oh yes. That’s the only one I muted. Some of the students and parents were going berserk there – creating polls, hunting down previous admits etc. all to verify some random portal astro claims

my Childs says Dec

Stanford confirmed in an email that no one would have it on their portal; it is simply just how the portal works. Vanderbilt is very similar – any updates/info after the deadline are not visible on the applicant checklist. We need to stop this midyear report discussion now.

because your student applied early, yes? so the award date would have been in December when REA decisions were announced.

No, applied regular decision

Still doesnt make sense then - they dont start looking at RD apps until after the RD deadline has passed in January? And financial aid is separate from admissions, so it seems unlikely that an award would be given that early for an RD app. But hopefully your portal astrology is right and your child got in, you’ll know by the end of the month for sure

could’ve been an immediate rejection. It’s rare anyone from our district attends Stanford. We have a kid attending from a different school. No way they’re taking two. We’ll find out soon enough.

You’d be surprised
I truly believe that they dont evaluate the district as much as evaluate the fit for a kid. This year we have three Yale early admits (first time in a loooooong time) and last year we had a Princeton RD admit (first time in 10 years) and the year before, a Georgetown (first time in 20 years). So you never know. We have never had a Stanford admit - but there’s always the chance of a first. The point is you are going to make yourself crazy trying to figure it out - I only know bc I have also had those days. We are almost there - and even if our kids dont get in, it has nothing to do with their worth. And they can always apply again as a transfer.

If its usually the day after Ivy Day that Stanford announces, it would then be 3/31 (which is a Friday). Has Stanford ever released on a Saturday?
