They're making me nervous! Its starting to look like we'll have to wait until January...

I'm guessing a decent sized group will get in this coming week. No way they'll wait til January.

Y not. Their office might not even be open this week

Pure speculation. Plus I'm in the holiday spirit so wishful thinking -- not that it would benefit me since I applied late.

Looks like we'll be waiting til January. From email correspondence:

The Stanford Law School Office of Admissions will be closed Monday, December 22, 2014 to Friday, January 2, 2015 due to the University's holiday shut down . We will reopen on Monday, January 5, 2015 during regular office hours which are from 8AM-12PM and 1PM-5PM PST.

Probably the first time in my life that I'm cursing Christmas falling on a Thursday or Friday in my life.

Waiting sucks but at least you're not this guy:

Yikes, that's just so sad. Imagine being the person who sent this? Probably thinking they were going above and beyond, separating themselves from the rest of the pack, special snowflake, etc. ahaha

[Mack.Hambleton]

That is kind of a dick move by the Dean lol. Calling someone out publicly on instagram, come on son

lol...when being a suck up fails

lol it must have been a generic email the poor chap sent to all the schools he applied to. Feel pretty bad for the special snowflake..

At least he added in something along the lines of being glad to be considered for a spot at SLS, not HLS or CLS

I hope someone (anyone) gets some good news tomorrow so this thread can get some action.

OP, in anticipation of an eventful week, can we have a new poll?

I second that!!

Really hoping that she celebrates being back in the office tomorrow by making some calls!

This would be fantastic.

Our next poll could be when the first decisions will come!

There's been some personnel turnover in the admissions office, but things should be back to normal soon (those of you who have visited in December may have noticed an empty desk or two).

Not Dean Deal, right???

Scarily authoritative in his/her tone of voice..

Scandalous! Someone should call Olivia Pope!

Help!
I recently got married and would like to stay with my husband in California. Do you think I should email the office to bring this to their attention?

They might be interested in this for yield purposes. If you have a good application and they would want to accept you, they would feel better about their yield knowing that you are committed to CA and wouldn't go somewhere else (Harvard, Yale, Chicago, etc. if your app is strong). If you could bring it up subtly, it could help you. I did something kind of similar when I visited Stanford and spoke to admissions after getting a go-ahead from Spivey and the law school advisor at my college (who is actually really awesome and helpful).
