| I'd like to think that but I don't think so because if the other schools are using their waitlist it means that some of their admitted students choose other schools over them...my fear is that they choose Stanford over those schools =( |

| Enrolled at Penn. Probably will go there even if I get off the Stanford waitlist because I basically set my mind there already :\ | |

| Enrolled at Northwestern. Satisfied and not too optimistic about Stanford's waitlist. | |

| Well they said in May, but no ealier than May 5. So today was the earliest possible day. And now I heard that they're waiting for transfer replies before contacting waitlist people, if at all. | |

| I had a chance to talk to one of Stanford admission officiers (Gloria Valdez, maybe I remembered her last name wrong?) when my son visited there the weekend of 25-26.
She said that Stanford WILL DEFINITELY take people off waitlist this year. She said this is based upon the matriculation rate they have received thus far, which is quite lower than last year's.
I hope this brings some good news...BTW, after a few agonizing days, my S decided on Princeton over Stanford. This helps too, yes?
I'm sure there are quite a number students who are cross-admitted chose other schools and left a number of spots open... | |

| I called today, and they said they'd begin to notify wait listed applicants on the 15th of May.
What I HATE is that I'm 95% set on my school, but it's the possibility of this that is looming over me. | |

| I know exactly what you mean x90
Thanks for the info FirstWonder! But if there are more people like your son who decided last minute, they might have chosen Stanford, which would bring the number of waitlist spots down... | |

| Did all of you receive a confirmation stating you were on the waitlist or did some not receive anything? | |

| After I sent it, I did receive second email titled "A Copy of Your Stanford Waitlist Submission" e-mail, if that's what you mean. | |
