Also, it looks like Stanford has completely redesigned its website. Which is good, because the previous layout was boring and confusing. Good move Stanford. You're so smart and cool. I love you Stanford.

NEW POLL NEW POLL NEW POLL PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE DDDDDDDDDDDCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Sucking up to SLS I see. Good call

Due to popular demand, I will be putting up a new poll. For posterity, here is the result from the previous one.

As you can see, most voters are applying because US News told them to. In second place there is a tie between those who are enthralled by its employment numbers and culture, and those who are just resignedly submitting an app because the hope keeps the despair at bay, if only temporarily.

In a surprising third place are those who are not applying, but continue to come to the thread because they hate Stanford, and me. Let's hope that this unhealthy fascination with me does not escalate.

The new poll is up.

To be 100% honest, that was a late edit. It's possible to edit polls and keep the votes as long as you keep the number of options the same. So I had one lame answer and swapped it for Jimmy's better one.

I voted lottery tickets. You've got to be in it to win it.

I sure hope I don't abuse the ability to change poll options some time in the future....

c I would have voted for that one. But now my vote is forever cast

You have 5 minutes to change your vote, or forever be damned to live with your previous choices!

It's back to one chance to vote.

Also, the current leader in the poll is the choice to say that you hate me. Why?

You may have to follow Salander's lead on the Yale thread and just give up hope of hitting 30 votes.

"Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive."

Unfortunately, this was said by Donald Trump.

So Stanford is not letting me apply. It says that there's a problem with the app. Why, Stanford? Don't you know I love you?

I'm pretty sure the Stanford application is supposed to be out tomorrow. I'm not sure why LSAC is listing it for today.

Just turned mine in. I'm super excited about this one.

Dcc617 · Post by **Dcc617** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 12:45 am

I just turned mine in too. This is the one I'm going to be freaking out about for the next few months....

You got this!

I feel like Stanford is almost as much of a black box as Yale. I don't have any reason for thinking this other than the fact that I feel like I should have a better chance of getting in with my numbers than in reality I do. I'm a really bitter person at heart

That's sweet. I'm still going to panic though. You and I probably about equal for Harvard and Stanford. I'd be willing to wager you get in to Harvard.

OP's log, star date 2015.245

One day has passed since submitting my application. No communication from Stanford. Last year people were getting emails the same day they submitted. Anxiously awaiting to hear something. Anything at all...

Working on the app right now and need advice. How do I list a full time volunteer experience in the employment section? It's not an internship, so I feel odd putting unpaid internship, but all the other options seem to indicate paid positions.
