Emailed by a Stanford Lecturer. Coincidence?

<p>A few days ago, just when I’d think the admissions committee would be reading my app, a lecturer from Stanford, who was involved in an EC I did, emailed me, saying he was writing an article about the EC and asked me some basic questions. He didn’t mention Stanford at all.</p>

<p>On my Stanford resume, I mentioned this fellow off-hand as being involved in the EC to provide a bit of legitimacy.</p>

<p>Do you guys think this was a just a random coincidence or something else?</p>

<p>They were almost certainly checking you out. Lecturers don’t just randomly email people, they’re far too busy for that. Chances are he got your e-mail from your application. Good luck!</p>

<p>What was the EC? Maybe they thought it sounded questionable…</p>
