Just wondering what other people got with their likely letters. I've heard about phone calls, personalized pamphlets, etc. I only got a letter (I am perfectly content and ecstatic about that in itself though). Anything else?

zzz you got a likely letter lol don't worry about it xD
what did you do btw?

Beerom26

nothing much actually. I base my acceptance on primarily my essays and what not. My academics were good, just not outstanding or anything. 2270 SATs. state awards for science olympiad. moot court regional winner. letters of rec were ehh...not super good or anything.

^Out of curiosity, what is your ethnicity&income bracket?

filipino/spanish (I personally don't think the Spanish thing matters since most filipinos are part spanish but some people say it could have made a difference)

I was raised by a single mother working for a nonprofit organization so my family income is around 44000

do internationals get likely letters?

I'm not really sure. I've checked online and whatnot for more information on Stanford's likely letter policy but i haven't really found anything. I've heard they send letters only to about 200 people so I don't think that they'd send them to internationals. They could though. You'd just have to be amazing as hell.

Beerom: did you get your acceptance already? I wonder when Stanford will send them out (early applicants got them 3 days earlier).

I just got the letter and an estimate for financial aid a few days later. I've never heard of the phone calls/personalized stuff, but I wouldn't really worry.

@minz: I got my letter on March 1st. I've heard that they usually send them mid to late february.
