Stanford Transfer 2016 Forum

It takes a while for the system to update (seems like a week+) from the time that they receive all of your application materials to the time they finally show submitted for review/complete. I submitted some stuff last week and they only just updated my status online today.

[bedelgeuse]

Under review as of 6/27/16 (applied 6/15/16).

[habeas2210]

Applied: 6/6
Submitted for review: 6/27

[Joscellin]

Also under review, 6/27

[extra.hard]

Applied 6/14
Submitted for review 6/21.

Are you using "submitted for review" and "under review" interchangeably?

I am, yeah. Mine said incomplete (despite all boxes being checked) until the submitted for review update yesterday.

Thanks! It looks like my application is 6 days ahead of yours, guys, for whatever weird reason. I will keep you updated.

Yep. Not sure if there is a difference.

so... dumb question: Law Review write-on period has passed right?

ETA: don't sweat the complete stuff. It takes them about a week from the time they receive your outstanding documents for the status checker to update (if my experience is any indication).

Submitted for review on 6/28.

This is my #1/dream school -- SLS is perfect for my career goals. Let's see if the fortunate few receive phone calls any earlier this year.

[Arad]

Any word?

[throwaway2018]

Got a mini heart attack when you bumped the thread. I thought calls were going out. Calls should be going out next week judging by previous years. Granted, they are Stanford and can do whatever they want.

[Joscellin]

Nothing yet. Assume they'll be out before next Thursday (the H deadline to accept).

Nope! They will open up a transfer window for write-on after they release acceptances. It has two separate parts: the writing component and the editing component. Writing is a 4 day window and Editing is 8 days (but they can be completed in less time, apparently). Grace Zhou is the one I communicated with, and she was incredibly helpful. I have heard from other transfers that it is very difficult to write-on, because they only save about 3 spots for transfers, however, they also have a number of other journals that are viable options.

For the record:
Submitted: 6/15
Complete: 6/28

Good luck all!

This is correct. I called the Admissions office this morning and asked if they would be sending out decisions before Harvard's deadlines on Thursday. She responded, yes, they "hoped to finalize decisions this week," but didn't state which day they would start sending them out.

Good luck everyone!

[PeanutsNJam]

How many of you folks have gotten in so far?

[Joscellin]

He mentioned that "Stanford decisions are going out" but never followed up,

I don't think anyone else has posted any news.

[flaxseed]

I emailed Stanford yesterday telling them I have a deposit deadline due by the 13th. This is what they said:

"Thank you for your email. We have started making decisions this week. You should hear something very soon."

So they must have sent out at least some admissions...

[bedelgeuse]

Spoke with admissions today. They said that they had "some movement" and "some offers had been made, but more are coming."

Good luck yall.

Anybody else suspect that no more offers are going out?

[james_byrd74]

Naw, we only have one confirmed offer of admission, and the admission's department has since stated that more will be going out.

Who has been admitted so far? I don't see anyone confirming on this thread.

[PeanutsNJam]

There is one confirmed admit. I'm tired of waiting though lol I'm ready to stay here I just need rejection letters before I sign a lease and book interview program flights (can't do those if I xfer). Harvard also needs to pick up its feet.
