<p>Yes compared to Harvard, Yale, Caltech and a number of other schools (actually every other school my son applied to) they were completely useless/unhelpful. All these schools had the same amount of time to review updated info and only Stanford did not. Sure they were completely willing to set up meetings to discuss but the meetings were absolutely pointless as all the said is they will review in a couple of weeks, they could have just said that over the phone. Other schools said they would even review other school offers before May 1st. Some schools like Columbia actually went in the complete opposite direction sending an e-mail Friday asking if we would like them to consider aid offers from other schools.</p>
