Yeah, one of my friends got his rejection email Friday about 6:30, and he sent in his application to Stanford after I did. I just use a private email through my internet carrier, and I've checked my spam folder and still nothing from Stanford. I'm RD also.

No, my email is through my work -- and I've received other letters from Stanford just fine. I think they just failed to send mine.

Those who are RD and are still waiting - did you check to see if you provided your correct email address (CommonApp)?

So, Monday morning, the original deadline and I still haven't received the letter. That's that. Stanford just forgot to send my decision. Kind of irritating, but they're still abiding by their original deadline -- but there was no sense making me anxious over the weekend.

Have they issued any statements yet as to what happened? I'm RD and about 99.9% sure I was rejected.

All right, so an update on everything:

I called the admissions office at 8:30 PT and talked with an admissions officer. They have made no official statement on what went wrong, but the man I talked to on the phone simply asked for a few simple details from me and said that they would resend the decision and that I'd receive it before 5 PM PT.

Their phone lines are jammed full right now, so my guess is they're feeling the pain from whatever did go wrong on Friday.

Apparentlly the US Mail is faster than email. While my son (RD) is still waiting for the decision email, he just got US Mail (waitlisted).

It's a bit irritating that, even after calling early this morning, I still haven't received the email after them resending. What time did you call in Tobman?

Bit irritating? You're being too nice.
This is unreal.
Never expected this from Stanford.
Since they are not sending out paper rejection letters, if you don't receive a rejection e-mail, potentially, you don't get to find out unless you call.
That really sucks.
