<p>I doubt it, as others stated before, one is probably a borderline student, and they are looking for additional reason to either A) accept the person or B) reject them. So there is still hope.</p>
<p>I’ll shoot my GC an email asking if he was contacted.</p>
<p>Hey anyone, think their essay was beast? Send it my way if you don’t care I just want to compare it to mine, I’m not inferring mines was tho, I’m not that cocky.</p>
<p>There we go. I sent him an email, and hopefully he tells me the truth.</p>
<p>Also in my opinion I’d imagine they would check quarter grades your gpa is fairly low, just to see how well one is fairing now. Because quarter grades aren’t a reliable basis for judgement I don’t think it is fair to reference it.</p>
<p>they dont contact all the guidance counselors of all applicants…it was probably just a special borderline case that they wanted to know more about. no reason to freak out =)</p>
<p>Wow! So, I emailed my counselor and I got an auto response that he is out of office until December 12th because he is on some sort of military thing. </p>
<p>So, let’s say Stanford contacted him by email, how would he respond if they asked for first quarter grades? They probably got the auto-email too, then.</p>
<p>If I was your GC I’d tell you to calm the balls down</p>
<p>LOL, he has told me that before.</p>
<p>I strongly doubt there’s an auto e-mail. It was likely a unique case in which they requested midterm grades. </p>
<p>But, I will see my counselor on Monday for an unrelated issue and hope that she doesn’t bring up any contact with Stanford :p</p>
<p>No, I emailed my GC and asked if he had been contacted. Then I checked, and he had sent me an auto message because he is currently out-of-office until the 12th.</p>
<p>I’m NOT saying Stanford is sending auto-emails to an applicant’s GC counselor.</p>
<p>Will you let us know if your GC was or was not contacted, kimchee1212?</p>
<p>I’m gonna talk to my counselor tomorrow too.
But since it’s not an automatic email, I guess they only contact a few people due on a case-by-case basis. I mean, they don’t have the time to send that many emails!</p>
<p>and avtrox, that’s terrible. I’d talk to the admin. I know of too many teachers who “abuse their powers.” Good luck!</p>
<p>My counselor was also contacted by Stanford last week. She was contacted by my region-specific admissions counselor asking for my current grades. She told me that my application was being brought to “committee”.</p>
<p>So, so nervous! Thank god I had just gotten my AP Calc grade up to a 90%. Fortunately I had straight A’s in all 5 of my AP classes!</p>
<p>I understand that, of course, they will inevitably reject some of the applicants brought to the final committee. I’m not planning on it, but I really hope to get lucky!</p>
<p>I asked like a week ago, and my counselor said she hadn’t been contacted 
I don’t want to bug her anymore.</p>
<p>now im scared that people who didnt get contacted have already been rejected</p>
<p>Me too :(</p>
<p>10char.</p>
<p>^ me too… Apparently it’s just for borderline applicants. If you’re super strong, they won’t check. If you’re super weak, they won’t either. But for a university the likes of Stanford, I highly doubt I’m a super strong applicant.</p>
<p>Same.</p>
<p>They may have asked mine, but then they may have gotten his auto-response. So there is no way for me to know. :(</p>
<p>Gah, I’m tempted to drop by the Counseling Office to ask mine about it, but I don’t want to bother him. ):</p>
<p>Geez, now I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooo stressed.</p>
