<p>I’m sorry if this has been asked before, but how likely is it that decisions will actually be released on April 1? I know that Stanford usually releases its decisions early. The only reason I ask is that I want to get my Stanford decision before HYP.</p>
<p>why do you want to get it before HYP? O_o (is it in order to feel better just in case worst case scenario occurs, if it does occur?)</p>
<p>usually, it is a little earlier than April 1st (a few days earlier). I know some people that received it a week earlier (with one of them receiving a “likely letter” 2 weeks prior)</p>
<p>Yes, that is precisely my reasoning. I want to get decisions in the order by how I much I want to go there. I’ve heard decisions are usually released the Friday before the announced date, but April 1 is a Friday, so …</p>
<p>if its like it was last year, we should receive responses on friday the 25th at night…</p>
<p>but thats just my guess.</p>
<p>“We expect decisions will be sent via email from Dean Richard Shaw on April 1 after 3pm (Pacific Time). Decisions will not be released over the phone.”
That was in the first e-mail I got from Stanford with the instructions for accessing the axess website.</p>
<p>They are always early. During REA, they did continue the trend of releasing decisions the Friday before the publicized date. I believe they will do so again… At least I hope they will… I was deferred.</p>
<p>I agree with kazala. Looking over the last two years (via [Admission</a> News : Stanford University](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/site/news/index.html]Admission”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/site/news/index.html)), you can tell that for at least those years the decision has been posted within a week prior to the officially announced release date. Plus that’s what my Mac OS X widget is counting down to.</p>
<p>@ Sleeet: you’re Mac OS X widget counts down for you? O:
thats awesome o_o</p>
<p>@jsungoh: well, I made it specifically for that purpose, so yeah. Lol. 
If you have Mac OS X I can send it to you.</p>
<p>@ Sleeet: unfortunately, I don’t have a Mac yet (going to get a Mac Pro during summer before I enter college). But that’s awesome (that feature) 
haha</p>
<p>i feel ya kimmy! i’m hoping for the friday before as well; much better if they’re spaced out.</p>
<p>^Eh I kinda want them all at once. Then assuming I get in somewhere it’ll lessen the blow, rather than just getting a lone rejection.</p>
<p>The wait is killing me!!! I just wanna know!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Seconded…</p>
<p>Mac pro? Sad…We future engineers and computer science majors don’t touch those.</p>
<p>Though I could be wrong, I believe he meant to say Mac Book Pro.</p>
<p>Hey, just dropping in to wish EVERYONE the best of luck in your admissions decisions. I will be in your position next year. </p>
<p>SURVIVE THE STANFORD SLAUGHTER…</p>
<p>Kind of survived it once (deferred SCEA) but once more into the breach…</p>
<p>… by the beach</p>
<p>Feel you Techie, NEVER buying a Mac ever, the only thing it has going for it is no viruses and that’s already starting to wear off. The PC age has only started :)</p>
