The best astrology is checking large last minute donations. If the family made a huge January/February public donation, the portal will say yes ;*)

Something to do with your address listed in your portal I believe (but that may have been another yearâs tell)

that is crazy
What exactly with your address?
I think it was if you address was removed you were rejected and if it was still there you were accepted and something else meant you were waitlisted

Mine is also still on the portal!
It only seemed to work a couple hours before decisions were released, but it was consistent for applicants in EA. Right now itâs too early.
No address + no update application = rejection
Address + update application = deferral/WL
Address + no update application = acceptance

this year as well? in EA? or are we talking about last year?
Yes, this is true, at least for last year and the year before. Check the Stanford Discord for more details.

Last year I got a Harvard interview but not a Stanford interview and I got rejected from Harvard but accepted to Stanford.
Thereâs just no way of knowingâthe process is ineffable!

I didnât apply to Harvard but I did apply to Stanford and Iâm hoping thatâs the case for me because I didnât get an interview. However, I have really low expectations of an acceptance since they do reject a good amount of high stats and qualified kids.
Just rejected from USCâŠ
No interview from StanfordâŠ
Cali please let me in
Stanfordâs interview are based on availability, not pre-screening.

Is 1530 SAT and 4.0 Unweighted GPA good enough for Stanford?
