Stanford's late round of rejects Forum

[Shaggier1]

I am wondering why Stanford takes so long to reject certain folks. Here are a few examples:

The obvious answer would seem to be that thy are borderline candidates and SLS was unsure about them; but then why not waitlist them? I have not noticed this trend at other schools... has anyone else?

For full disclosure, my curiosity stems from the fact that I applied to SLS on 10/20 and have not heard a peep. Any others in the situation?

I'm in the same boat - I applied in mid-October and haven't heard anything. If I'm going to be WLed or rejected (which I expect), I just wish it would happen sooner than later.

Mid October complete date. Still waiting here too. 170/4 ish. Non-URM.

I'm in the same boat. If I had to take a stab at

why Stanford takes so long to reject certain folks

...I would say it's that they can do whatever they want. We the applicants are at a distinct disadvantage in this whole process.

I'm in the same boat too. wicked stanny.

FTR, I don't think I ever had a shot at SLS.
