Congrats everyone. Unfortunately I can't meet you at ASW (unless you're one of the people I'm hosting Thursday night) because I'll be out of town for the weekend, but hopefully I'll meet you next year!

Want to echo that sentiment. Good luck everyone! Hopefully we'll all find out soon, for better or for worse.

I don't really get the sibyll trelawney tweet. According to the chart on LSN, which admittedly is probably full of user-reported BS just like tls

, Monday was a bloodbath. The gloom and doom for early in the week was accurate. Am I missing something?

I think they meant that there were supposed to be rejections tuesday but were none (or very little)?

yeah, the original prediction was essentially "bad news first, good news later" and now it's anything goes.

I feel like this is the calm before an impending storm.

I feel like, unfortunately, today will be a ton of rejections with a few acceptances occasionally mixed in. This thread will freak out.

Another prediction: the thread pages will EASILY be in the 3 digits by CoB

Just spitballing, but does anyone know if/how many of the decisions that have come out this week have been from people who applied September through December? Or have they all been for people at/near the deadline?

I got dinged on Monday after going complete in November.

wtrc · Post by **wtrc** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 12:59 pm

Yeah, it seems to be a mix.

Sorry to hear that, Draw. Guess none of us are safe.

Pure speculation, but maybe two-ish. Seems to be their time in the past and they seem to be sensitive to applicants and wouldn't have an entire day-long rejection wave. It appears they try to keep it to two-ish hours. Later gives time for more decisions/numbers to come back and add more people to the list.

...it's past two

Basically this is what the YLS and SLS admissions process looks like in April.

At least with Yale, we know that decisions are coming out at SOME point today (thanks to their Twitter). Stanford, on the other hand, is just a black box of silence and disappointment.
