Nope.

Stanford doesn't consider unofficial transcripts and grade reports, right?

From my experience, they're happy enough to accept them but won't make a decision based on them.

Is that how last year's transfer cycle went?

kinggps · Post by **kinggps** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 3:44 pm

Complete. "most admissions decisions will be made by early August."

When did you have all your items in?

kings84_wr · Post by **kings84_wr** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 9:44 pm

Just from my general research at the earliest HYS send out stuff the third week of july

App: early May
Dean's Statement: May
LORs: late May and early June, respectively
Unofficial grades: mid June
Official Transcript: requested from my school the week before last; probably received at SLS last week

For what little it's worth, I think kings84_wr is probably right in terms of the timeline for decisions being returned.

I love that "most" language used in the App Complete email, since most decisions will be rejects. (Historically, SLS waits until August to email out rejection letters.) I agree that the coveted admissions offers will come 3d week of july.

Has anyone who applied not gotten the complete email yet? I'm still waiting for it.

kinggps · Post by **kinggps** » Thu Jul 01, 2010 3:10 pm

Egg I doubt you're the only one. If you've got everything in, it will come. Probably soon. Good luck.

Butters23 · Post by **Butters23** » Thu Jul 01, 2010 4:44 pm

Complete 4:45 EST, submit 6/15

pandacot · Post by **pandacot** » Thu Jul 01, 2010 5:20 pm

Received e-mail today that my file is complete. Ugh, ugh... the waiting. On the brighter side, I got into U Mich. However, I don't think I'll transfer unless I get into Stanford.

Good luck all.

kinggps · Post by **kinggps** » Fri Jul 02, 2010 11:26 am

You'd rather stay at Toledo than go to Michigan?

pandacot · Post by **pandacot** » Fri Jul 02, 2010 9:18 pm

Michigan is not an absolute no, but I really have my aim set on Stanford. I've struggled with the thought of transferring, and I'll gladly talk to you about my reasons in a PM. I'm always open to suggestions and input.

Looks like complete apps will be read/reviewed next week, during the SLS shutdown.

And then adcom will be back in regular business mode the following week.

Nice find. I wonder if Dean Faye will be sipping mojitos on the beach while reading our personal statements. Sand pouring out of her files, Justice Stevens style, when she returns to the office on Monday.

Just wondering... did any Stanford applicants send a letter to Dean Kramer fighting for acceptance?

Haha, I don't know the answer to this, but I think that everyone else who is applying should. And make sure that you include a picture of yourself doing a keg stand to let them know that you bring not just academic prowess to the table.

Also make sure to include any TLS postings that show lack of wit. Remember, SLS takes pity on the witless.

Mmm, touché. But anyway, I can't imagine that writing a letter to someone who already has to read a giant stack of applications is productive. Of course, one should never take advice from the witless.

pandacot · Post by **pandacot** » Sat Jul 03, 2010 9:32 pm

Giant stack of applications? Sure. Dean Kramer sending a return email from my posturing? Sure.

I don't want to get into a flame war, but I think that any applicant to HYS should push as hard as they can for acceptance. The transfers are competitive, and why not try to get an edge? Could work or could fail...

EDIT: to concede a little, I would say that sending Dean Kramer an email now will probably not help as much. I sent an email a month ago or more when times were probably not so busy.

arstech · Post by **arstech** » Sat Jul 03, 2010 9:40 pm

That's rational. I guess I just don't see what information you'd convey to them that wouldn't be more appropriately placed in your personal statement.
