It seems like everyone's who's gotten into Stanford and Columbia this cycle has gotten a Hamilton from Columbia. Is there any chance of getting into Stanford with a Butler or less? Or are the chances pretty slim?

If a specific data point will make you feel better, I got into Stanford very early and have received zero named scholarship love from Columbia. So it's definitely extremely doable.

I got into Stanford a couple weeks ago and haven't heard anything from Columbia despite interviewing over 2 months ago...YMMV

I don't think I would do it *this* early, but it might at some point be helpful to update Columbia with your admissions. I had the opposite problem (well, not with Columbia)... I wanted to go to Stanford and they still hadn't given me a decision by April 17th (I submitted my app early jan), so I sent them an update saying "Hey, I got into Yale and Harvard, but I really want to go to Stanford..."* and got my call the next day.

*Note, obviously don't misrepresent your intentions. I did really want to go to Stanford.

Thanks quads, this is good advice

Yeah, I don't think I'd choose Columbia over my other options, so I wouldn't do that. But it is sort of curious. Interesting result on your end, though.

I'm going to call Stanford and bluff.

Same situation, except no interview for Columbia. Columbia is the only school I'm waiting on (besides Yale, but I only sent that in Jan.). A lot of people in CLS are in same position, albeit with H instead of S.

It's a bold strategy Cotton...

So, all crickets this week from Stanford, except for a little movement on Monday?

Here's hoping that we get a nice big wave of acceptances next week!

Did some LSN stalking last night--last year Stanford offered admission to December applicants the 3rd week of February.

DLS - not terribly surprised.

Complete in October

[gobears!!]

DLS--complete 10/1. Was expected. Good luck y'all.

[gamerish]

What does DLS mean in this context?

[Topszn]

What does DLS mean in this context?

As far as i'm aware it means Decision Letter Sent, and if you haven't heard anything (i.e got the call), its a ding.

[Draconem]

What does DLS mean in this context?

Waitlist/denial.

If you get DLS without call/email, it means you are getting a letter in the mail with the denial or waitlist.

[fliptrip]

Waitlist/denial.

If you get DLS without call/email, it means you are getting a letter in the mail with the denial or waitlist.

And I think you can give them a call and they will tell you for sure.

Noooooooooo. My condolences, and hopefully you guys already have other great options to choose from

Is this the first time that Stanford has dinged/waitlisted people? Sorry, I haven't followed this thread too closely. Will they send out more DLS today or are we safe for now?

Fairly certain this is the first wave of dings on this thread so far (unless I missed something). Judging by lack of further movement in this thread/no spreadsheet updates/nothing on LSN, I sincerely hope we are safe for now; then again it's only 2 p.m. in Palo Alto right now...

It has begun But I think we're probably safe for now... Good luck to everyone still waiting!

I'm thinking this week is make or break for me. Applied around 11/18, went complete 11/20. According to LSN, people that were accepted with my submit date heard back this week. Those who didn't were, at best, wait-listed or denied in the following weeks.

Here's hoping!

LOL guess I am doomed. My submit/complete date was in September.

Don't give up hope until your status checker says DLS! Just think of every day passing without a rejection as a sweet sweet blessing from the Stanford adcomms.

I just received a phone call letting me know I was admitted and my packet is in the mail! Complete 12/30, GPA and LSAT at about the 75th
