<p>Wow, this thread got huge. I’m an international so my time zone doesn’t really line up with you guys, haha.</p>
<p>@calgirl So did you apply early to Stanford again this year?</p>
<p>Hey guys, let’s make a goal guys! post 777 comments for luck! 
leave it at that until December 15! 
WOOT for Stanford!</p>
<p>Haha like 10 pages got added so quickly</p>
<p>So many have had an interview? I had mine last week and it went fine, much better than I thought it would.</p>
<p>@Rush10, ah… sorry:P my knowledge of biking is almost nonexistent.</p>
<p>guys i have an IB internal assessment next week… oral commentaries on Frost or Donne or Hamlet. i hate the shakespearean era and frost is not my favorite! arghhh and A1 standard level gets Keats and Plath, so unfair. why we have to do this when we’re done with everything else is beyond me
do you guys have to do oral commentaries in AP??</p>
<p>nope haven’t had an interview. costs too much to fly anyone out here lol</p>
<p>no interview for me (live in northern suburbs of NYC)</p>
<p>Yea I didn’t interview either</p>
<p>Wow, this thread has exploded since I was here last!</p>
<p>I haven’t been contacted for an interview yet, though there are quite a few Stanford grads in the area. Have all interview notifications been sent out already or will there be more?</p>
<p>They only interview select regions… look at Stanford’s website.</p>
<p>Does anyone know:
- How many students they defer?
- How many deferred students get admitted?
- How many students they waitlist?
- How many waitlisted students get admitted?</p>
<p>Ea they accept like 10% and only defer likke 8%. Idk how many deferred get in or about waitlisting</p>
<p>a senior member on CC told me Stanford defers less than Yale. Yale defers anyone who looks promising enough but apparently Stanford will just reject the ones they can’t distinguish. I don’t know how reliable this info is</p>
<p>I would say that’s pretty accurate. I now last year’s defer was around 50%, which is substantially higher than 8%</p>
<p>2015</p>
<p>Stanford has admitted 754 early applicants to the Class of 2015 and deferred about 500 more, Admission Director Bob Patterson said on Monday.</p>
<p>The University received a record-high 5,929 applicants, dropping the admission rate to 12.7 percent for Stanford’s “restrictive early-action program.” Applicants were up 6.5 percent from last year, when Stanford admitted 753 of its 5,566 applicants, or 13.5 percent. The University notified all early applicants of their application status via e-mail on Friday afternoon.</p>

<p>^ Thanks, great find! I wish we knew how many deferred students got admitted though.</p>
<p>I don’t think I have seen that statistic listed by any school. Since they are merging the 500 deferred with another 26,000 applicants, does it make any difference?</p>
<p>However, 78% of the SCEA pool is getting rejected outright.</p>
<p>When a Stanford admissions officer visited my school, she said that they only defer people who they feel are very strong applicants but aren’t accepted because Stanford wants to see them grow a bit over the next few months (in particular, first semester grades). It would be interesting to see how many of these EA applicants were admitted because they were neither admitted nor rejected outright.</p>
<p>Less than a month left until we find out decisions.</p>
<p>^ I wish they would tell us earlier… If I found out I was admitted, I would be home free. If I found out I was rejected, I would kick things into gear and whip out a bunch of college essays.</p>
<p>But since it could go either way, I’m kind of just being lethargic.</p>
<p>That is usual BS spouted by an adcom. Two years ago someone I know very well got deferred - number 3 in a large school, perfect SAT and ACT in a single sitting, excellent recommendations, etc that got the kid admitted to Harvard, Princeton, Penn, Columbia and then deferred admitted into Stanford.</p>
<p>^ I agree. Plus it sucks to have to wait so long</p>
