ME TOO and i am always so worried about missing a call in the event that it actually is them LOL
what shows are you guys into! :))
Thank you for your kind words! Poetry is weird for me because I often find myself caught up in the rules and not the emotional expression. But with this one in particular I was really entangled with the feelings of yearning/longing. I think finding ways to express my dismay and uncertainty through art (watercolor, ukulele, or poetry) has really helped me through the last few months. What about you? What has been keeping you sane lol
From the transfer waitlist thread, hope all you freshmen applicants get good news soon!
Also, I don’t really have any updates to send, would it be detrimental to briefly reiterate my interest and explain I’ve been out of school focusing on family? I know the update box says optional but it feels weird leaving it blank lmao
edit: Nvm remembered something I needed to mention, if anyone has a response it may be helpful to someone in the future though.
Hi all, according to this thread, someone got off the Stanford Waitlist:
Thoughts?
Huh. That would be very out of character for Stanford if true considering they almost always release the first wave second Thursday of May. But then again a lot of schools have been taking people off earlier. I wonder how they heard. Maybe they’re doing phone calls this year?

yeah I agree it seems a bit out of character imo ://, maybe they’re taking a few individuals (legacy, other connections, etc) off first before the 1st wave?
But assuming this is true, the good news is Stanford is using the waitlist this year in spite of the gap year students, as for how many they take off, I think we’ll just to wait and see.

My kid heading to WU in fall! 
Wow what a coincidence for such a small school! I would love to connect if they are up for it - not sure if there is a way to private message here but my Instagram is: @ella.m.ashford if your kid wants to reach out
Does anyone know when we should expect the first wave of decisions? Or has it already started…
there have been a couple people saying they got off but based on precedent i would expect the first wave tomorrow?? but who knows
gl everyone! decisions should be coming out today, let us know if you all receive any good news!

Thank you very much, good luck to all as well! I am an international student and 4pm Stanford time is 2am Friday for me🥴. Also, it will be my birthday and an acceptance from the waitlist would be the best present

Yes! Good luck everyone!
The decisions will be released in the student portal or email?
I believe I read somewhere in one of the other forums that they often call you. I also imagine they send out an email saying you have an update in your portal similar to what they did for the waitlist notification we received last month.
I’m actually not sure Stanford does phone calls. At least I know they don’t do them for everyone who gets off
Interesting. I was reading on last year’s waitlist thread and it seemed like some got phone calls. But I have no verification and am just going off of other people’s stories so you could totally be right. Email notifications make more sense
Anyone receive anything? It’s already 3:25 PM in LA and I dunno there doesn’t seem to be any wave…
