| SCEA, deferred. 5:12pm today, s got the reject e-mail. first reject in nine, he is already in the school he really wants to go, so it is more of an ego thing. no student in our HS had attended SU for as long as anyone can remember. best wishes all of you who are waiting to get what you want to see. this forum is invaluable.
Dear XXX
The Office of Undergraduate Admission regrets to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to Stanford University. The overall quality of our applicant pool and relatively small size of our freshman class means that we disappoint the vast majority of our applicants each year. We acknowledge your strong interest in Stanford, which makes the task of sending you this news especially difficult.

xxx, you are a fine student with solid support from your teachers and advisors. I am confident that you will enjoy great success in your undergraduate education. I only wish we had room for everyone with talent and energy like yours.
We know this is disappointing news to receive; for that reason, and to be environmentally conscious, you will not be sent a paper copy of this letter by mail unless you instruct us otherwise. If you wish to request a copy of this letter by mail, you may do so here.
With best wishes for an outstanding undergraduate experience,
Richard H. Shaw
