Stanford 2010!!! Forum

It's better to demonstrate why Stanford is your top choice than to simply state it. For example, mention specific programs you are interested in and/or professors with whom you would like to work. If you have other personal reasons for wanting to attend Stanford, definitely mention those.

Anyone can say Stanford is their #1. Not everyone can convincingly demonstrate the same sentiment.

Completely agree. Also, stating that Stanford is #1 without submitting recommendation letters that are targeted would probably put your sincerity in question. Those letters are great ways to convey why Stanford is your #1 without using valuable space in your PS.

full stop.

i am not well versed on the interweb talk. is this some sort of funny thing that is said?

I thought I was just being delightfully faux-British, but perhaps there was additional unintended meaning. Or maybe he was amused by the irony of "full stop" followed by a period.

This, plus the faux-British, plus the fact that you never see this anymore. It's also a holdover from the days of the telegram. Just win all around.

Decidedly UN-Internet, might I add.

Uh-oh. I'd better go caption some cats to get my internet street cred back.

Whoa, got back from NYU ASW and checked my email. I missed a call earlier from Dean Deal and she sent me an email. I'm in!

Can't believe I actually laughed at that, lol. Also, can't believe I'm home before 10 on a Friday night. Damn you, Beat the Clock!

Wow, you must work really long hours. I'm glad that you were able to get home sooner this time.

Does anyone happen to know what Stanford's report request schedule is right now? Sent another LOR to LSAC, assigned it, but I'm not sure when they'll request it.

It says "The law school report will be updated and sent each time LSAC receives a letter of recommendation" on LSAC, but I think it's changed since then.

still wondering why i havent been dinged / heard anything yet...been complete since oct, anyone else in my same boat?

Stanford does have a propensity (as does Y it seems) to do a bunch of late admits, so maybe we'll see a couple of mini-waves now that the application deadline has passed.

+1 same boat. It seems that we could be headed for the waitlist.

While Stanford is the pipe dream of all pipe dreams for me, Faye and co. wait until early-mid April to admit some people. They're still sitting on a lot of applications. So, keep hope alive!

ugggh waitlists! i dread the waitlist. i hate uncertainty. i've heard they wait until april to reject a lot of people though, even early applicants. doesn't make much sense but that's how they roll i guess...
