<p>the only school that flat out rejected me was yale -- incidentally my other top choice besides stanford. </p>
<p>i imagine it would be a tough choice for me</p>
<p>catcherny, do u currently attend Dartmouth?</p>
<p>i do indeed.</p>
<p>I'll be going to Stanford (from Penn). Religious Studies and Comparative Literature major. Has anyone received a package from them? I haven't yet.</p>
<p>wow, congratulations, a dartmouth and a penn student going to stanford, thats good stuff</p>
<p>I got my package on thursday</p>
<p>Yea, I got mine too. On the front it said in big cardinal letters "Congratulations!". On the big envelopes, I guess they just cut right to the chase...I thought it was kinda lame - but hey I am not complaining :)</p>
<p>It's not like they are going to send you a huge package and reject you, though... :)</p>
<p>just for the record, i spoke to somebody at stanford today: apparently there were 72 admits this year.</p>
<p>any word on the number of total applicants?</p>
<p>I suspect the yield to be around 60ish students attending out of 72 accepted.</p>
<p>i don't know...the lady said they'd probably try to keep it around 70. so if 10 initially decline, 10 will come from off the waitlist.</p>
<p>yea, that sounds about right. Did anyone receive word on housing, etc.? </p>
<p>About 10 more people accepted than last year. Assuming a similar number of apps (~1300) that is still an abysmally low admit rate...</p>
<p>I think they send housing info with the "Approaching Stanford" booklet thing... sometime in early june. So we should get it soon.</p>
<p>if yall want a head start on the "approaching stanford" info....you can read it in pdf form here:</p>
<p>Did anyone else notice that there is a summer reading list? lame.</p>
<p>Erm, where?</p>
<p>one big tree, are you matriculating in the fall? btw, what are you all doing for the summer?</p>
<p>Am I the only one in the forum who declined Stanford..well, atleast its a good thing for one student on the waitlist...
Good luck!! everyone...Hope you have lot of fun in Stanford...its a great schoooollll........</p>
<p>Catcherny1,
I am doin research this summer @ Harvard Med. What will you be upto? </p>
<p>PepsiVodka,
What are your plans instead of Stanford?</p>
<p>Everyone share your summer plans!</p>
<p>I am going to UPENN..since it was my dream school since freshman year....and i really wanted to go to an ivy..</p>
<p>I am gonna intern in a law firm for the summer...it specialises in criminal cases, so its def gonna be lotta fun...</p>
<p>Yeah, UPenn is good for pre-professioanls, I guess. How did you decide so easily... I must have done a thousand daisies. Yale, Stanfor, Yale, Stanford, Yale, Stanford, Yale, Stanford, Yale...
