what is the update in application?

102

“Good enough” is fairly meaningless above a certain threshold because the admit rate is still 4%. Stanford rejects many 4.0/1600 students. It also accepts a few 3.8/1500 students. Your stats are fine. But your chance for acceptance - if you are unhooked - is still only around 4%.

I see last year decisions dropped Friday 3/31. I wonder if this year will be Friday 3/29.

104

it is even low for me since i’m an international student.

105

yes, it most likely will be.

Why can’t Stanford announce their decision date like everyone else? If all 8 ivies can agree to match their dates, why does Stanford Admision stay silent on their own date? It certainly isn’t because Stanford AOs are still working away on 26th march

They want to keep you in suspense a bit longer :slight_smile:

With the holistic review being promoted across the nation, it’s nearly impossible to say what’s good and what’s not.

109

Technically, the conditional probability that you will be admitted to Stanford given that you have a 4.0/1530 will be higher than 4%. Some data MIT published a few years ago showed that your chance of being admitted given that you had a 1500+ was 10%, much higher than their overall rate of 4%. I’d assume Stanford to have something similar.

Great analysis, fingers crossed. Parents couldn’t afford the 20million dollar donation, I am not strong enough an athlete for Stanford D1 Team ranked #2 in the nation, but I desperately want to interview to be the Tree.
