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

[Oskosh]

Congrats!

[Oskosh]

K, so if you're the user on LSN, then I feel like they have yet to review the applicants *completely*. At least that's what the February submission indicates to me. :p

[RunnerRunner]

Waitlisted. I had already sent in seat deposit to Y, was just sticking around out of curiosity, so I'm gonna request they remove me from consideration: one less body in the WL pool for you guys! Good luck!

DLS? Just now?

No, I think this is just the first time RunnerRunner updates us.

Good luck, RR! You have very good prospects in Yale!

By the way, is there any collected data about applicants who submitted a Stanford-specific LoR? I know that compiling that data would require painstaking efforts, but it's worth to ask before I dive into it.

[LoganCouture]

I went to the Fiesta Bowl actually! That was a depressing experience...

Was that the one against OSU and Brandon Weeden?

Yep, that's the one. And that experience marks the furthest east I've ever traveled in the U.S!

[Kip]

Is the school open today?

Definitely. Just got a phone call!!! Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Have you decided where you're headed yet--Stanford, Harvard, or somewhere else?

I am she! I was told that they had just finished reviewing my application (2/2 submission, so that is probably true). Hang in there...I know how painful the waiting can be!

[whatshisname]

Can anyone guesstimate how many more admissions Stanford will offer from this point on?

[Walter White]

Haven't decided yet...still in shock about Stanford!

I hate asking for advice though (scholarships vs. full price, H vs S, etc.) because it makes me feel like an a**hole! These are such good "problems" to have, but I have no idea what to do!!!

No shame in it at all, that's what the Choosing forum is for. Congrats on Stanford!

Nope, DLS a few days ago, just decided to request to be removed from WL so thought I'd update. And thanks Oskosh!

Thank you! Again, good luck to everyone still waiting!

P.s. Let's go Mets!!!

[savethewhales]

DLS just now. Called the office and it is a ding. Getting into Harvard got my hopes up, but still not terribly surprised given my GPA. Good luck to those still waiting!

[Kip]

Also DLS--> ding just now. How they strung me along!

I never sent in a "Why Stanford", should I send one now or wait for a decision?

No

[WhoReviewedThis]

So let me get this straight - another day with one lone acceptance...

Yep, they are good at the TLS crazymaking.

[Oskosh]

Wait, did zhirup not get accepted, as well? He +1'd the post in which the use revealed she received a call.

Also, it's 12:42 in Palo Alto... Maybe more calls to come?

[WhoReviewedThis]

DLS today but I'm just gonna wait for the letter. WL or ding is the same to me at this point - I will withdraw from WL if that's what it is. a little bummed, but not heartbroken since I got the acceptance at H on Tuesday. It's nice to know. I can't complain too much about my wait though - complete 1/27.

I deserved it though. I was a bit too loquacious in my PS/diversity statement both. I learned my lesson and went for brevity on all my other apps, but I submitted S first in a bit of a rush because I was applying so late. (Of course, there could very well be additional reasons that I deserved it, but if I were the adcom reading my app, I'd be mad at me for my verbosity, even if it came with a 180, which mine did not!)

Good luck to all the rest of you!

If it makes you feel any better, my PS was over 2 pages single spaced (to everywhere but Harvard, which has the hard length limit).

[Mack.Hambleton]

I was a bit too loquacious

Lol

[WhoReviewedThis]

For whomever it is who is curious about the targeted LORs, mine were not. I feel like Stanford is kind of out of line to ask for it anyway. Your recommenders are already taking time out of their lives to write you a letter. Rude to ask them to do it twice with a special "Stanford edition."

But maybe that's just my bitter two cents haha.

I do hope the rest of you receive good news from S. I know for many here S is the dream, and I hope they make as many TLS dreams come true as possible. May this week make it rain phone calls! Good luck, everyone!!
