<p>I posted above for my D (Level 4, Stanford SCEA), but wanted to add something: the acceptance letter had a handwritten note at the bottom which said how impressed they were the she rose to positions of leadership (senior class pres, etc) after transferring into her school junior year. I guess that was more important to the adcom than scores!</p>

58

<p>Level 4 (2290). son was accepted last year to Princeton, Brown, Georgetown, Notre Dame, NYU, Boston College, etc.</p>

59

<p>cgarrett: how nice to know that they truly do look at the app in its entirety. And that is quite impressive about your daughter!</p>

<p>I got a handwritten note from Stanford as well. Not in the actual acceptance letter, but in the follow-up letter that was sent a few days ago from the regional admissions rep.</p>

<p>She just mentioned something about how nice my essays were. I think Stanford is trying to project a more personal and intimate image than the detached nature of most correspondence with colleges.</p>
