<p>I just found this, on the S website of all places ;):</p>
<p>[Restrictive</a> Early Action : Stanford University](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/decision_process/restrictive.html]Restrictive”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/decision_process/restrictive.html)</p>
<p>“3 Possible Restrictive Early Action Admission Decisions
Applicant is admitted and has until May 1 to respond to the admission offer
Applicant is denied and can not reapply for Regular Decision admission in the same year
Applicant is deferred to the Regular Decision round, where he/she will receive a final decision by April 1<br>
Stanfords philosophy is to make final decisions whenever possible, so the vast majority of Restrictive Early Action applicants receive one of the first two decisions noted above.”</p>
