^Last year it was the Friday before April 1st. By email. And...I have no idea about fin. aid.

theprez-Yeah, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable with my essays at this point. I can think of so much more I might have said. Ah well.

Yo tambien. Especially that "letter to your future roommate one". And I got deferred Early Action, so apparently my sarcasm wasn't that big of a turn-off since I didn't get rejected straight-up.

"The Office of Undergraduate Admission will mail and email decision letters to applicants who applied for admission under Stanford's Regular Decision process on Friday, March 28, 2008. Decision letters and emails will be sent sometime after 3pm (Pacific Time) on Friday. Decisions will not be available anywhere on our website, in person or by phone."

That's the official word...

Using sarcasm is impressive. I stuck to the more traditional "I'm going to talk about myself know." I hope it worked.

Haha... I'm sure no one messed up the essays as bad as I did.

I was stupid, and actually made fun of myself in my essays (especially the Roomate one, where I exposed all of my icky habits).

In hindsight, it probably wasn't the greatest thing to do when the goal is to sell yourself to the school.
