<p>Did all of you guys or your counselors get contacted one-on-one by admission officers?</p>
<p>I'm wondering if Stanford has a "short list". If it does, i'm not on it.</p>
<p>My counselor was contacted. I don’t think there’s a small shortlist though because I know someone who got an interest contact and ended up not getting an offer last week.</p>
<p>I faced the exact same scenario that bluebubbles described. Although I earnestly want to get in, I’m starting to think that that letter didn’t mean much</p>
<p>Well it looks like they emailed more that 85 people they took (because some people would decline, etc.), so the question is - if they take anyone else, would it be from that emailed list, or not? I have checked the waitlist threads, and looks like everyone who was admitted (at least here on CC) did get an email (or his/her counselor). But it would be great if all WL admits wrote here so we can see if there was someone w/out an email who got in.</p>
<p>I didn’t get the interest email and I still got in, so I don’t believe the interest email plays a significant role in determining admission.</p>
<p>also got in w/o the email.</p>
