<p>Stanford had swings in the entering class from 1749 students in fall 1999 to 1598 students in fall 2000.
Since Fall 2002 they have been using the wait list more and kept the class size about 1640 students.</p>

<p>just for reference....last year, someone posted getting off the waitlist on may 16th: <a href="http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus/messages/8/69316.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus/messages/8/69316.html</a></p>
<p>while others <a href="http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus/messages/8/76976.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus/messages/8/76976.html</a> didnt find out until mid july...</p>
<p>So the odds are slim eh? With hundreds on the list and only a few given a spot. Do they like to go to legacies first?</p>
<p>im on the waitlist...im actually pretty surprised that many people turn down stanford.</p>
<p>Has anyone called Stanford to see how many people they are going to take off the waitlist?</p>
<p>Im on the waitlist too. i called today. they dont like disclosing any information. they wouldnt even tell me if my additional documents that i sent got in. whats up with that?</p>
<p>Did u guys send anything?</p>

<p>I sent a letter re-iterating my desire to attend, which also mentioned the results of my January A level exams (results came after mid-year report).</p>
<p>Hi Justin! Remember me? I hope they actually "look" at your additional documents, otherwise that would be so lame.</p>
<p>Ahhhh i'm dying of frustration...MIT isn't going to the waitlist...let's hope to god that stanford will..</p>
<p>hash, I thought you would be attending a high flying UK University?</p>
<p>inuendo, yes hopefully I will be attending Oxford. However, the offer is conditional, so there's always a chance I might not make it.</p>
<p>Also, I genuinely like Stanford, the weather is good and it is best for the subject I applied for (compsci).</p>
<p>Ah, Computer Science, yes Stanford is significantly better there. A friend of mine is doing CS at Cambridge. His first choices were all the US and he wanted to go to either Stanford or MIT but he didn't get in anywhere in the States. He is trying to transfer out this year. </p>
<p>I'm sure that you will easily meet the conditions on your offer. AAA I assume?</p>
<p>yeah the offer is AAA + A at AS further maths. It won't be easy, but I should make it.</p>
<p>Your friend must really want to go to Staford...transferring from Cambridge no less! He could always save Stanford for grad school I suppose.</p>
<p>so when do we find out about our waitlist decisions? has anyone heard from the waitlist? im about to peepee in my pants from suspense. Lord help me please.</p>
<p>Justin</p>
<p><a href="http://www.purevolume.com/thechairsak%5B/url%5D">www.purevolume.com/thechairsak</a></p>
<p>Well Cambridge was really a back up for him. He was only going to go there if he didn't get in anywhere in the US and when that happened he was really surprised but he had no choice. </p>
<p>I am surprised that you say that your offer "won't be easy." I would have thought that someone considering schools of the calibre that you are would easily get AAA, or are you just being modest, perhaps even deliberately cautious? How come you are only doing 3.5 A-Levels?</p>
<p>Waitlist applicants will know later this Month. I joined the waitlist, but I don't think I'll go if I'm admitted (and plus, consider the stats, it doesn't look likely that I will get admitted:))</p>
<p>inuendo, I guess I am being deliberately cautious, as you put it :)</p>
<p>I don't think it is an easy task to get all As at A level- though it is very possible.</p>
<p>I'm doing 3 A levels, and 1 AS level. I have already done 2 AS levels, so I guess it makes it 4.5 in total. However, 3 or 3.5 A levels is standard.</p>
<p>later this month is so indefinite...i feel like every day could be The Day though the chances are very very slim. :)</p>
