i don't think i am mentally capable of taking my dream school's rejection yet. it's too soon. way too soon. if it was any other school, it'd be okay. but not stanford

<p>Just as with MIT, I've already accepted the fact that I'll get rejected by Stanford. But the thing is that if I get an admit in the remotest chances of remote chances, I don't think I'll be mentally capable of handling it. </p>

Does someone dare to call Stanford on Monday and confirm, or has anyone already done so?

Just a weird question I guess---when they email you your decision, does the subject line show the decision (like "Congratulations" or "sorry") or does it simply read "Your decision". I really don't want to open my gmail page and find "SORRY" when i'm not emotionally prepared. lol

<p>supposedly it just says "Your Stanford Admissions Decision"</p>

<p>Aww that only builds the suspense. The suspense to start out with was already killer. What, does Stanford want 30,000 people (-100 lucky ones who got early approval letters) to die from a heart attack???</p>
<p>In past years, Stanford has only released the actual date they're releasing decisions on the same day that they're releasing them.</p>
<p>For example, Stanford released decisions on March 31, 2006 (which by the way, was the last Friday of March). Compare their webpages on March 30 to March 31.</p>
<p>Basically, I searched for admission.stanford.edu on the Internet archive (archive.org).</p>
<p>I also called, but the admissions office would only tell me April 1st, 5 pm.
Swarthmore is doing the same thing this year because swarthmore also releases decisions earlier than given.</p>
<p>Thus, from my own experience, decisions should be coming earlier than April 1st.</p>
<p>No ... they can trace your phone call then enter it into their database to see which applicant broke their sacred laws of Stanford admissions. Then they'll punish the law-breaker with outright rejection. </p>
<p>Or some brave soul can be like Jack Bauer or other villains/terrorists/office moles in 24 and use a scrambled or sat phone. Completely untraceable. :)</p>
<p>Oh wait ... I forgot. Stanford is Stanford, so they probably have some unknown Stanford-invented tech that traces scrambled/sat phone calls. Shoot.</p>
<p>Stanford does not have call tracing software. It's a college, not the police department. We'll just have to wait for them to announce the date they'll be releasing decisions</p>
<p>nhsharvard, you are spread too thin. your sn has Harvard in it, your location has Brown, and now you're posting extensive research on Stanford (which I do appreciate, by the way)?</p>
<p>People like you are the cause of such low acceptance rates and yields.</p>
<p>What's wrong with applying to more than one school?
It's mean to be bitter about a person applying to great schools.
Shouldn't worry about other people applying to places, but whether you can hold your own. :)</p>
