Re: Stanford Waitlist 2010!!!
jumping on here to track the movement. About to put down some money for housing elsewhere but I'm still hoping for a call from SLS before I get too far in.

Re: Stanford Waitlist 2010!!!
3.98/176. I also recently sent both a LOCI and an additional LOR. I'm pretty sure the LOR was what made the differenceHey-O wrote:Congrats! Super jealous, but good job!

Re: Stanford Waitlist 2010!!!
LOCI sent with the "please keep me on your waitlist" form, which I sent in around April 18. LOR sent sometime around May 14, although I don't know the exact date since my recommender sent it.doinmybest wrote:How long ago did you send them in?pleasepickme wrote:3.98/176.

Sent in a LOCI yesterday, just a simple note in the body of an email telling them that I still want to go there.

Re: Stanford Waitlist 2010!!!
I finally settled on a school. Withdrawing from Stanford to go to Harvard. That means that there is definitely still hope for you waitlistees. I wish you guys the very best!!!
Kretzy, I'm glad I got to meet you at least once.

Re: Stanford Waitlist 2010!!!
Best of luck, smov_operator--hope you have a good three years. While I'm neither SLS nor HLS bound (Sadly! I wish I were!), I personally know 3 people currently deposited at HLS and who are dying to get into Stanford Law off the waitlist. (I'm a senior in college, and two of them are classmates, the other was a year ahead of me and has been out a year.) They realize they're long-shots at this point for SLS, but they are all still very much holding out hope. None (at least to my knowledge) posts here, so here's a very small bit of encouraging news I can pass on to each of them!

Re: Stanford Waitlist 2010!!!
Nope, from a professor that just came to my college this year. He couldn't send a letter in the fall since we'd just started working together, but he taught 5 of my classes this year and advised my thesis. He was really able to speak to my drive, abilities, and personality significantly better than any of my previous recommenders. I'm pretty sure that made the difference.Hey-O wrote:Was the LOR from a Stanford alum?pleasepickme wrote:3.98/176. I also recently sent both a LOCI and an additional LOR.

Re: Stanford Waitlist 2010!!!
Anyone want to indulge in baseless speculation? Do you think that early movement of the waitlist means that there are a lot of wait lists spots and they want to start filling them early? Or...do you think it means that they have just heard early from everyone and have very few spots to fill?

Re: Stanford Waitlist 2010!!!
to our knowledge, they have only filled one spot. This person sent in what sounds like a very good LOR. I think based on this LOR, they decided to snatch up the person early as they knew they had at least one spot to fill. Who knows what is to come for the rest of us waitlisters though....Hey-O wrote:Anyone want to indulge in baseless speculation?

I was just at sls today; I heard that dean deal is out of the office this week, so I wouldn't expect any action this week.
