Stanford c/o 2015 Applicants (2011-2012 cycle) Forum

Hmm... from the sounds of that, she's only starting to look at most of the applications. We might have a bit of a wait ahead of us. Hope I'm wrong.

[soj]

Maybe she makes acceptance calls on the off-days after reading marathons!

New blog post! Nothing about when decisions will start coming though.

Thanks for posting the blog entry. This is really what I'm banking on. I'm right at the median with my LSAT and my GPA sits at the 25th percentile. I have twenty years work experience, though, and I really tried to put together a coherent theme throughout my application. Numbers-wise, I'm a long shot, but maybe (fingers crossed) the totality of my application will be enough for her to slide my application into the "accept" pile.

Anyone else think we'll start seeing decisions today? Looks like they admitted a bunch of people on 12/8 last year, but didn't begin rejections until after the new year.

I'd guess today or tomorrow, but that's cause I'm impatient for something to come out from Stanford, even if it's good news for someone else.

Crap I hadn't even thought of Stanford AT ALL since I turned in my app

[viacavour]

My status checker says that my LSAT is missing. Which is weird since I definitely have an LSAT score and haven't run into this problem at any other school.

Did this happen to anyone else? I will call in the morning but would like some reassurance in the meantime.

Good catch. I usually turn my phone on silent after 6pm EST, but now I'll have to leave the ringer on till later.

Oh, what I would give to spend the next 3 years of my life in Palo Alto...please call me, Mrs. Deal :>

Thanks for asking! I was debating doing so myself . It's nice to know that people will start hearing soon (hope we'll be among those people!)

Thanks! So. Excited.

[curiousgeorgia]

So we know it is this week, any guesses on which day? Approx. how many will hear back? Their UR dates?

I feel like we're at a sports game, and if we make enough noise on this thread, Dean Deal will shoot us an acceptance via t-shirt gun.

[splbagel]

I say it starts tomorrow. If it's anything like last year, only September / early October submitters will hear before the new year, and those of us who submitted in late Oct / early Nov won't hear until February / March.

I think on LSN there were a few people who submitted in November who were accepted on 12/16, so I don't think that's outside the realm of possibility for this year. http://stanford.lawschoolnumbers.com/ap ... r=desc&p=2 Although Dean Deal's recent blog post makes me doubt whether she's gotten through many applications at all, so you could be right. I'm guessing Thursday and Friday will be the first round of calls. I'm not sure if SLS's admissions office is in next week or not...

Sorted by submit date to view when relative decision dates were. The number of rejections/waitlists is incredibly depressing.

Edit: To be fair, a lot of the rejections are ones with low numbers.

...and lots of them plenty higher than mine!

Then there's the 3.9+/170+s that were waitlisted/rejected.... I wish I knew why. Stanford admissions seems like such a mystery

Finally submitted for review today. I'm not going to hear back for months Darn my dean for taking weeks with that form...

Not hearing for a while either. I submitted my application on 11/7. Gave my Dean's form in on 10/31. Went submitted for review on 12/7. Could not understand why it took so long for them to fill out the form

Man, I knew Stanford is sort of a GPA queen, but according to LSN, only 5 people were admitted last year with < 3.8

I should probably have just saved the $116

I think in general, every person on LSN = about 10 admits (judging from Harvard, which had about 80-90 profiles on LSN last year). That means there are at least 50 people with <3.8...which of course is true according to the definition of the medians.

Fret not!

[splbagel]

Two things to keep in mind:

--LSN isn't necessarily a representative sample of applicants.

--Of the 8 <3.8 admits on LSN last year, 5 were URM.
