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

[lastsamurai]

I would love to get a call, but if it's not in the cards, I wish they'd tell me sooner rather than later. Any amount of stress that can come out of this process would be extremely helpful.

I really just want to start planning for the fall already.

This is how I feel about every single school. I wish they were like MBA programs where they had a set date that you knew you would hear by.

Couldn't agree more. The sense that the ax could fall at any time is kind of maddening.

I was talking to my sister, who, as a freshman in college, has very fresh memories of the misery that is the college application process. Although having to wait until late March/April 1 made for an interminable winter, I think it also made it easier to compartmentalize the uncertainty. I mean, if I knew for sure that I wouldn't be hearing until ~March 20 at the earliest, I would have so much less incentive to constantly refresh my email... :/

I thought this too but in reality, it sucks just as hard. At least the pain is spread out for law school admissions.

Seriously. I feel like I can't get excited or really start thinking about any of my options until I hear back from Stanford. Even a ding would be a little bit of relief (after I got done crying into a gallon tub of ice-cream and a pitcher of wine)

... Pass the wine, I'll join you...
eta: HA that was my 100th post! woops...

[kershka]

lol, at least your 100th post was in the Stanford thread for good luck! I missed every milestone post until my 400th.

Is the What To Expect When You're Expecting c/o 2017 thread off-base on the Stanford timeline?

It seems like a lot of people are in the "Submitted for Review" stage for more than just a few days.

Or maybe they are doing something different this year...

It means it only takes a few days to get to SFR.

That makes a lot more sense.

[jdapplicant]

Has Stanford historically released any big waves of acceptances/WLs/dings in the first two weeks of Feb?

[wtrc]

Does anyone have any spreadsheet data or analysis if S has released far less decisions at this point than in past years?

+1

[$alty]

according to the lsn graphs, it seems so. This is pretty crude, but the graphs show a lot of December completes getting decisions in January. This year only one (or two, if this person actually applied 11/20 and went complete on 12/21 http://lawschoolnumbers.com/midwest333)

nvm.. i didn't realize the mylsn chart had two years worth of data. not really significant contrast, at least on this data point

[Sourrudedude]

I quickly looked at LSN and it looks like as of 2/5/2014, 20 people have reported being accepted. Last year, as of 2/5/2013, 33 people had reported being accepted.

Thanks for that. It seems like there have been few calls going out based on this thread, but I hadn't checked last year's thread for comparison.

About how many ppl are extended an invitation to attend SLS?

According to their website, they made 392 offers last year

But far fewer post on LSN.

Damn, and they consistently fill up 180 seats a year?

[hellomellow]

Do people write a Why Stanford type letter? When would it be appropriate to send one in? and tell them they're your dream school
