Stanford Law School c/o 2018 Applicants (2014-2015 Cycle) Forum

Omg this has been posted a million times haha. You're probably checking the LLM Status Checker instead of the JD Status Checker. This is the correct SC: https://www.law.stanford.edu/degrees/jd ... atus-check

Wow, you da you da best. Thanks.

[morningstar]

Booo how is everyone able to check their status check? I've tried a million times using the link they sent in the email to no cigar. It hasn't been working for a really long while now.

If you're getting an error about the user name, try switching to IE. I got errors using Chrome and Firefox, but it works in IE.

Meehhh, actually the link won't open at all... weird. :/

So I'm not the only one w/ status check issues? I tried Safari, Chrome, Firefox and SLS SC doesn't recognize my username/password (or just username on the password reset page).

That said, I submitted a resume update and received a response that it would be added to my file. Assuming this means I'm not ding'd yet?

Assuming you're DEFINITELY checking the JD status page and not the LLM one, then yeah. Problems galore. I'd find something with IE and try that. It's literally the only browser that works for me. Chrome (pc), Firefox, chrome (android), and Internet (android) are all a bust for my stanford login.

I was reading the Stanford thread from last year, and if that is any predictor of what's to come, the next few weeks are going to suck. They were in silence for most of the first two weeks in March, and then a few acceptances started trickling in towards the 3rd week. But no good news at all the first two weeks from the looks of it. Ugh.

Rejected. Good luck to those of you still waiting!

I'm sure you have great options anyways! Mind posting your approx. submit or complete date so we can no how far along Stanford's creeping rejection wave is?

No problem. Complete early October. DLS 2/23.

[Sacred Cow]

Rejected by mail. Best of luck to the survivors!

Since I have a few more data points - here is some updated info about the cycle so far:



This is based off of 42 acceptances and 22 rejections.
The range of index scores are:

Accepted:3.231 - 3.662
Accepted (non URM): 3.396 - 3.662
Rejected: 3.122- 3.552

The latest submit date to receive a rejection is 10/30.

All submitted applications (reported on lsn), so that you can compare the above statistics to the applicant pool:

* These are just the decisions that I know of - so data is very incomplete.

It is an interesting phenomenon (although depending on what you mean, I was accepted with an above 75th LSAT and 25-50th GPA). I'm guessing Stanford is taking the same route as UVA this year. High scoring LSATs are WAY down this year. Harvard and Yale (along with a few who would rather take Rubies/Hamiltons) are going to crush Stanford if they try to keep up on the LSAT scores. Because of that, both UVA and Stanford are trying to shore up their GPA numbers and they seem to be heavily favoring the 4.0/170s over the 3.8/175s. But then again, Stanford has always been the most GPA heavy school in the T14.

Sorry, I should have been more clear in my tables. >=50 LSAT is actually >=50 and <75. Same for all of the categories.

Edit: Also, I think that you are completely right. In addition, since the 25th/50th/75th numbers used to divide up the categories already account for Stanford's previous preferences for GPA and LSAT I think that they seem to be focusing on GPA even more than they have in the past. It's both a good and a bad year for splitters, depending on where we want to go.

They've always done that, their median was 170 like five years ago

[BlueLaw11]

Is anyone aware if visiting can provide a boost to your chances? I'm guessing not since YP doesn't really apply to Stanford the way it does to other schools but I'm curious if it would provide a benefit at all

Welp, it's been fun dreaming of Stanford, but I'm DLS today. I'll update when I get the letter, but I'm sure it's a rejection.

I had no idea those were your numbers. Dude, such a bummer. I REALLY hope that you have gotten another offer from the holy trinity, because you're a great candidate.

Can somebody tell me the *most* resent DLS complete date?

As far as I know I'm the most recent complete date to get DLS.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm pretty sad because Stanford was the dream, but I do have other options.

I hadn't posted here because 1. I was bummed at seeing DLS and 2. I wanted to deny it but just for information's sake:
I submitted mid-december. They must've really disliked my application..

Really sorry about that, mate. Thanks for the information, though. Hope you have a good rest of the cycle.
