Stanford C/O 2019 Applicants (2015-2016 cycle) Forum

Hey, can I ask if people who sent LOCI's already have received responses acknowledging their letter was received? I never got any response, fairly certain they got it but I'd like to be sure.

I just submitted one within the last week or so, it took admissions a couple of days to respond.

I was lucky enough to get a response within a few hours. Your mileage may vary.

Just got the ding in the (snail) mail.

Status checker still says application under review. Went complete mid-October, submitted a LOCI two weeks ago because I hadn't received any news since. Admissions office replied to my email saying they received the LOCI, ding mail is dated a few days after that.

Didn't expect much but a little surprised at the sudden ding.

I'm sorry.

That's pretty awful; I thought we at least could expect a DLS before a ding.

[philawsopher]

Am I right in that per yesterday's instagram post it seems like Dean Deal is reading files in Hawaii? That gives me a little hope, despite the silence over the past couple days.

[pittsburghpirates]

DLS today. Guessing it's too early for WLs, but will keep on the look out for the letter. Good luck to everyone else!

I'm sorry about your ding may i inquire about your stats? thank you

[iluvboppers]

Has anyone been waitlisted yet? Or is it safe to assume DLS means ding?

[oliverotis]

safe to assume DLS means ding?

Historically, WLs don't start til April

For those of you who went DLS today, what was your submitted for review date?

Went DLS today which is in no way a surprise! It's been fun, best of luck to everyone and remember, always read that C&F section carefully

This is a bummer. So long, coldmonkey.

[pittsburghpirates]

For those of you who went DLS today, what was your submitted for review date?

Submitted 10/17, UR 10/26

I was along a very similar timeline. Sorry to hear about you coldmonkey!

So sorry to the recent DLS's Shocked to have survived another round

So sorry to the recent DLS's Shocked to have survived another round

+1. I just hope I dont dodge all the bullets just to get hit on their last round of dings.

I am also in the 'dodged DLS' camp, though I'm not holding out hope. I built a model to predict results based on LSAT, GPA and other school's decisions (to approximate softs) and it predicts that I will eventually get dinged

lol, what is this model?

[drblakedowns]

lol, what is this model?

Robb from myLSN gave me the data to mess around with, and I looked at a few machine learning models based on the results from the past few cycles. I eventually decided on building a random forest model to classify the instances. It's not a super accurate model (Stanford and Yale are particularly hard to predict), but it is better than just looking GPA and LSAT.

I also built a rule based model that is pretty human readable (it is not as accurate as the random forest, but still better than just gpa/lsat):

• (harvard = Accept) and (yale = Accept) => stanford=Accept (CF = 0.71)
• (harvard = Accept) and (gpa > 3.83) and (columbia = Accept) and (lsat > 176) => stanford=Accept (CF = 0.62)
• (nyu = Accept) and (gpa in > 3.86) and (harvard = WL) => stanford=WL (CF = 0.64)
• (harvard = Ding) => stanford=Ding (CF = 0.92)
• (gpa < 3.8 ) => stanford=stanford-Ding (CF = 0.89)
• (lsat in < 167) => stanford=Ding (CF = 0.88)
• (lsat in < 173) and (berkeley = Ding) => stanford=Ding (CF = 0.91)
• (lsat in < 173) and (columbia = Ding) => stanford=Ding (CF = 0.91)
• (chicago = Ding) => stanford=Ding (CF = 0.94)

CF is confidence factor for the rule

Damn this is depressing. The numbers don't lie tho I guess....
