<p>okay, well anyone who lives in southbay should be hearing by tomorrow. best luck to you guys!</p>
<p>Please post your stats and what school your transfering from when you guys get your decisions. Thanx :)</p>
<p>and where you currently are statewise for those of us thousands of miles away that are watching it slowly cross the country</p>
<p>man... I'm gonna have to wait a lot for the letter to cross the ocean and come to korea</p>
<p>ok, I created a name on the stanford sunnet system a while ago. The way this is set up is that you are suppose to use a stanford id number to get the actual user name, however, one can also choose a name without any stanford info. The name you requested then stays in limbo until a prof or someone high up supports your name. I had a name in limbo for a couple weeks now and I check today and my name has been appoved! So I have a stanford id number and can access protected stanford internal sites (ie contact info that they dont want the average vistor to see). However it is just a base membership as a temp prof might recieve not as a student has (no mail address or website or anything). In fact in looks like a temp prof stuff when I visit some pages so I have been looking everywhere to find who they recognize me as and the only thing that suggust other then accidentally registered temp prof is one page where my contact info blanks say "[not available to students]". I am hoping that stanford gives all accepted students a base id like I currently have to help them explore stanford virtually, this would make sense as they wouldnt want to go ahead and hand out the email address of a full access. Still, this seems really weird to me, they would have had to been creating ids and said 'hey this name is already in here, o well lets just go ahead and activate it'. I really want to intrepret this as a positive sign and not a fluke so if anyone gets in tomarrow visit this website <a href="http://sunetid.stanford.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://sunetid.stanford.edu/</a>, use an number from the letter, and tell me if your experience is the same as mine. thanks</p>
<p>another piece of information is that I did not add my home address in creating this id but it is stored there, it must have been added by the admissions dept from my transfer file. Along with an impossible phone number (650) xxx-xxx-xxxx where x is my phone number.</p>
<p>stanford archieve everyone's name and address, whether admitted or rejected.</p>
<p>and frankly if i was you, i wouldn't bother trying this.</p>
<p>hmm, I don't really see the point. you're getting your solid decision through postal mail in just a couple days, so why not just wait it out the easy way and keep things simple?</p>
<p>patience is definitely a virtue.</p>
<p>I think it's really impossible to tell. For example, if I create an SUNetid, using my real information it sets it up and says status pending. Then, if i open a new window and try to create a second SUNetid using my real ssn# and birthday, it lets me set up a second SUNetid with my information. If I create an SUNetid with fake info and then try to create a second SUNetid with the same information it gives me a message saying that I already have an SUNetid. So, the system is obviously recognizing my information. Does this mean I'm accepted? Probably not. I'm guessing they put everyone's information into the computer. If Stanford puts everyones ssn# and date of birth into the computer. You're ability to log in may just be random.</p>
<p>I got rejected, and I am sure the cause for it was very unusual. TO make myself not overly easy identificable, let's just say my faculty advocate in Stanford who hoped for my admission, left Stanford.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that, blackdream. If I recall correctly you were pretty high on Stanford and had impressive stats. A lot of us will be joining you in the near future. No one else heard today yet?</p>
<p>Here are this year's stats. This time was really NO contest. 1300 applied, less than 60 accepted. Projected that 50 will enroll. That translates to roughly a 4.5% accept rate. Good luck guys. A few too many enrolled last year (1650), translating to an attrition of almost half the transfer slots.</p>
<p>hey eliwood, where did you get the figures?</p>
<p>I live here in the Bay Area (east bay, Concord) and I just got my acceptance letter in the mail.</p>
<p>My acceptance letter said that close to 1300 people applied, but it had no mention of how many people were accepted. </p>
<p>Blackdream, I'm very sorry for your unfortunate circumstance -- that seems really unfair. </p>
<p>Hope that everything works out for the best for the rest of you still waiting.</p>
<p>Hakbar, didn't you get into Yale as well? You must've done something great in another life. lol. Or you have great stats and accomplishments. congrats</p>
<p>Rejected, from the Bay Area, didn't really have a chance. I feel sort of unauthentic as a Cal Bear now. Down with Stanford, I say!</p>

unique research, letters to AD from two stanford professors.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure I was shut down not because of my status, but because the research i do (a controversial subject right now), i was possibly a victim of current policy.</p>
<p>hakbar -- congrats man!!! hopefully i can celebrate monday as well! :)</p>
