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

[orangec90]

so..... what is the latest complete date for a DLS so far?

I believe 12/18 - correct me if I'm wrong here though.

So.... for those of us with earlier complete dates, are we almost certainly WL?
It seems from last year's data that people like us were waitlisted in late April and heard back in August

Probably false hope, but I wish some of us September-mid November applicants could receive good news before April

Could be accept or reject too. If you look through lsnumbers, there are people who applied Sept/Oct and were accepted, WL and rejected in April. I guess it depends what they decide after their second review.

Have there been patterns for days of the week that calls have been going out?

Hi guys,

I was wondering what your take was on with regards to multiple LSATs and Stanford?

Anyone applying with multiple LSATs?

Thanks!

I think the generally agreed TLS wisdom is that its not the end of the world to have a rewrite since there is incentive for schools to take your highest score. SLS probably cares more than lower ranked schools since they have a small class and have a selection of almost anyone but I'm not sure that a 3.9/173 vs a 3.9/169+173 would be treated much different.

I'm not claiming that it's indicative of Stanford's approach in every instance, but I have a friend who got accepted this cycle, and their LSATs stretch from the mid-160s to the mid-170s (on an upward progression over time). Take that for what you will.

[unodostres]

Thank you.

I'm just trying to see if it's realistic because I have a 15X on file from 2 years ago. I know an addendum will be needed. Just trying to see if there were any other posters in my situation.

Good luck everyone.

The way I view this is that Stanford sees LSAT scores as a prerequisite. They can't accept an otherwise great candidate with a 150. If that person were to get a 172, that would change things. You can't admit a Neurosurgeon with a 150, not even if he is black.

That's all there is until a decision (phone call if in, "DLS" status if WL/deny).

Totally normal. You'll be at the same status until you get a happy phone call, or a less-than-happy Decison Letter Sent status, which equals rejection or waitlist.

[BillsFan9907]

According to the google doc, the average turnaround time for a decision is 70 days.

I meant time wise. The google doc is kind of incomplete regarding the time between "submitted for review" status and decision date because a lot of people didn't fill it out so I was wondering what the actual normal wait time is?

Take a look at LSN for this year and last year. You can sort by "sent" date to see when people generally heard back, or look at this year's decisions to see about how long it's taken. FWIW, I submitted mid-November and still don't have a decision.

I haven't been following along with how this year's action tracks last year, but March 2013 didn't appear to have much good news for non-URMs. Looking at LSN, the first half of the month had a slew of acceptances for URM's/non-traditional applicants, with a few scattered rejections, and then the latter half of the month was just wave after wave of rejections.
