Stanford c/o 2017 (2013-2014 applicants) Forum

[lawschool22]

Sorry y'all, but not looking to go through 55 pages...

If I'm reading the spreadsheet right, submit to decision takes two weeks? That doesn't seem possible?

No, that's definitely not right. Someone probably just filtered the spreadsheet again and killed a kitten.

Most people had to wait at least a month though SLS has been a bit random in this last batch in regards to complete date. Most of the January admits thus far have been Oct/Nov submits, I believe.

Someone had used a January 2013 date as the decision date, which made a negative number, and forced the average way down. I fixed this, and the correct average is now 73.4 days.

Also, is anyone else being continually logged out for no apparent reason tonight? This is driving me insane.

Ask Donna, she knows everything apparently.

lol, as far as trolls go, this one was fairly tame. It was a diverting distraction and helps us up the page count ITT. We're at the bottom of the T14 for # of pages; clearly we need more polls! Or poetry; that was popular over in the Harvard thread...

Paging Stanford admits: can you confirm or deny if your UG is on this list. TYIA. It's for science.

I can confirm with a 95% confidence interval that this is not accurate.

Of course; I only went through about 60 people! I need a Mike to do things like this for me.

For science? I can confirm that multiple people from my UG have been admitted, and that it is one of the schools on this list.

My UG is definitely not on this list and I was accepted back in November.

Wait, does this mean if your UG isn't on this list you aren't getting in? Oh darn, what a waste of an app fee. Well, have fun at SLS, people. Thanks for the list, Donna.

where'd you get the list of people from?

[crazyrobin]

My UG is on the list

But serious, where do you get this list?
I know you-know-everything Donna, but hey, just tell me your source.

It isn't real.

Am I in bad shape for having submitted late in the cycle? (Just went complete a few days ago.)

It's my understanding that Stanford doesn't have rolling admissions, but applying this late will most definitely hurt your other applications.

They do have rolling admissions, Yale doesn't.

Am I in bad shape for having submitted late in the cycle? (Just went complete a few days ago.)

I don't think so. Stanford does have rolling admissions, but they traditionally hold a lot of applications until late in the cycle. Many people don't get decisions until March/April. So, as long as you aren't an auto-ding or an auto-admit, I don't know what the advantage of applying early would be. You're probably just going to sit in silence while they evaluate your application against the rest of the applicant pool's anyway.

I applied this month. That's my rationale for procrastinating and I'm sticking to it.

They both do. Rolling admission by definition just means that you accept applicants over time and in some proportion to when they apply. This definitely happens at both schools but both do a good job (though Yale does a much better job of it than Stanford) of not letting that fact affect the chances of late applicants.

If they didn't have rolling admissions they would have one date after the deadline when all admissions decisions were released and every applicant would be considered only once all of the applications had come in.

[liammial]

Awesome, thanks guys. I'm not an auto-ding or an auto-admit, but my stats are competitive.

I spent some time in archives But then one of Harvey's basketball things came up

[DonnaPaulsen]

Also, there's been a half-eaten box of chocolate-covered Macademia nuts from Hawaii in the admissions office. I wonder when they'll be gone?

Are we still sufficiently amused by this, or are we going to have to ask someone with the appropriate powers to make use of their banhammer?

That depends; do you want to ban one of your few sources of good information? Who else could tell you that among other people, SLS's admitted an Austrian Fulbright-er and a Berkeley Bear who now coaches debate in the SF Bay Area?

I mean, this person does have some pretty specific information that one could only get if they actually worked in the Stanford admissions office…things like a random list of schools, those macadamia nuts lying around, and two candidates who sound like they could be admits due to their prestigious Fulbright scholarship and debate skills so good they coach other people. Not to mention the random use of the first names Harvey and Mike who, one can only assume, add credibility to her story because who could make that stuff up and then have the guile to be so vague and offhand about it? Of course, this still wouldn't excuse how obnoxious and unprofessional they are being…or how totally worthless this information actually is.

Yes this is the right answer. Yale has it but to a lesser degree and it doesn't really affect your chances according to them. While I'm pretty sure Stanford has said there is an advantage to applying early. In the long run though, it probably isn't too big of an advantage.
