Only new info. Usually awards that were not included in the original application etc., not a pleading essay “to let me in.”
“We respectfully ask that you refrain from calling, mailing, or emailing the admission office to reiterate your interest in Stanford. Please do not submit additional letters of recommendation. We also ask that you not send additional materials such as writing samples, resumes, creative/performing arts credentials, newspaper clippings, photos, research papers, and certificates. We are not able to consider or return additional materials.”

can you ask them for a picture of the email? I highly doubt Stanford would release any time before May 3rd, especially so early

i agree
ik she did cuz she committed alr im in cali tho and they picked a lot of ppl from my area this year (4ppl from one school)
Her being in Cali only makes it more suspicious, I doubt that many people in-state have already turned down Stanford
if we’re going by what’s been happening the previous years, we are maybe going to receive our decisions by mid-may hopefully :((((
Do we have any thoughts about when the first round of waitlist decisions usually will come out?
Based on precedent my guess is May 13th if they’re utilizing the waitlist. If they’re not, we’ll probably hear within the next week
I submitted my waitlist acceptance back in April and I’ve been anxious ever since. This thread has calmed my nerves and I wish us all the best! 
aww! you got this! wish you the best of luck :)))

Princeton’s waitlist has been acting up so I’m hoping for the best!
Princeton already offered admission to students from their waitlist?
Yup! Here’s the thread: link.
Seems like the yield rate is going down across the board for all colleges this year, even T20s. I think both Duke and UChicago are already taking from the waitlist.
I’m not saying to get our hopes high yet, but I do think there’s quite a decent chance that Stanford will take from the waitlist this year.
