I must have missed the portal astrology. Saw last year’s. Is it the same? Son won’t get back until 3:45.

Let me guess? You will select Stanford?

What was the portal astrology prediction based on? whether or not you could sign up for an admitted students day/orientation or did it have to do with FAFSA appearing and disappearing on your login? I’m so confused

Just heard from my son! It’s a YES! Incredible. I’m so thrilled for him!

If you logged in and clicked “withdraw” there were three possible options people were getting, and depending on the option people figured out if it meant you were accepted, waitlisted or denied.
