Stanford Restricted Early Action for Fall 2025 Admission

December 15th for REA?

Edited

Is this confirmed?

About 2 weeks ago I saw it on stanford website somewhere as Dec15th, trying to get that link. Now I see it as Mid-December in here on their website:

That would be a Sunday
is this listed somewhere? Typically I was told they relese on the second Friday of December which would put it at December 13th?

I couldn’t find the exact date First-Year Applicants : Stanford University
Aid Notification: Requirements and Dates : Stanford University
Both links mentioned Mid-december(sorry about stating Dec15th, I was very sure that I saw Dec15th somewhere, I guess I was wrong)

no worries, you probably saw the date from a prior year!

Do “likely letters” go out for REA?

Only to athletes as far as I am aware.

Likely next week?

from last year admits, I have heard that they send out a short email or notification to who who they admit before decisions. Did anyone get anything similar?

I didn’t get anything; do you mean a likely letter?

not sure what would be the point of that? REA is such a short cycle
Did this happen to anyone that you personally know, who was not a recruited athlete?

Perhaps @anthromom can comment about the email?

My daughter hasn’t heard anything yet.
I read somewhere that in past cycles legacy applicant families have received an email reminding alumni parents that Stanford is very selective and most legacy applicants are rejected, but I haven’t gotten that yet either.

Does anyone else not see their optional recommendation listed in their portal? Is it apart of the application or do they list it separately?

Can you pls post a screen shot of where you see this optional rec?

What does this mean?
