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

Have you guys considered sending something additional to them while you're waiting to update your app/ get it moving?

No...I think that would likely slow it down...patience my friend

It won't make it move any faster. They've put you in a pile with a date on it that tells them when they're going to look at it again. Unless the information is super important, it won't speed it up at all.

I applied last week. Today I received 3 big ass packets from Stanford including a fee waiver application, lots info on minority organizations, and sample resumes/PS, but no official acceptance letter. I am an AAF with a 169/4.0.

Has this happened to anyone else? wtf does it mean?

I got two of those before I applied - I agree, it's a "minority" thing (whether or not you're URM status)

If your app has been "submitted for review", does SLS have a history of admitting earlier submissions first? Or does a 01/04/14 submitter like myself have any hope for a January call!

[applelover]

I hope soon Dean Deal makes more calls this week anddddd I hope one of those calls is to me.

Trying to decide if it’s too late to apply or not, what do you fellas think?

You definitely won't get in if you don't apply.

Very true, I'm going for it.

Just sent in the application. Good luck to everyone (including me)!

Should I be worried that my files are still indicated "incomplete" today (1/14)? I submitted on 12/29 and the status date is still shown as 12/29. All items on the checklist are checked except for "Study Abroad Transcript (if applicable)". I did study abroad one summer during UG but it did not count towards college credits. Any suggestions? Should I contact SLS admissions?

Yes contact them. That's what's keeping you from being complete.

Thanks so much! Will do.

My battery last a while. It hasn't been charged since yesterday morning, but I'm also not on my phone a lot.

But the awesome daytime weather makes up for that!! I'm lucky to get 36 for a high where I go to school.

Some classrooms only have outlets in the front where the professor and the projector are. The one I'm in now is one of them.

Apple, FWIW, i think you are doing a great job and it is your prerogative to charge your phone or not.

I'm not pressed to charge my phone, but thank you. If it dies (it's on 4% so that's probably likely) and miss a call, I have voicemail and a working email.

Getting an offer voicemail actually sounds like a sweet deal - you can save it and replay it afterwards.

Most of my offers are on my voicemail because I'm always missing someone's calls. I do replay them from time to time. Lol.

Oh definitely. I've missed one call completely and another dropped out part way through so I've got a couple voicemail messages saved. Now, whenever I am in a bad mood, I just replay those messages and I'm happy again

all quiet on the western front...
