Stanford should come out on April 1st as stated on its website

<p>OP sounds kind of like a dick; none of the other ones have come out on time (they’ve come out a few days before), and nobody has seen fit to complain. If they’re not going to be LATE, why not just let them be? Stanford usually releases before the Ivies, which is why people are postulating in that direction of thought. Chill.</p>

<p>The Ivies release at the same time and never before because they have an agreement that stipulates that. The other universities do not have that type of responsibility, so it’s their choice when to release.</p>

<p>Let’s keep things civil, guys. Remember that personal attacks go against the Terms of Service.</p>

<p>

<p>I definitely like the anticipation and the not knowing…but I do hope it’s tonight! X!</p>

24

<p>I was just stating my own preferences. No need to get mad. =)</p>

<p>I don’t know indianInLA, nor do I know his/her true academic, athletic, social, or pimpin’ ability. I don’t think he’s that arrogant (maybe naive), but I do think that all of us are a little high-strung and quick to attack. </p>

<p>This is precisely why I don’t like to visit Stanford forums. People need to chiiiillllll.</p>

<p>“The Ivies release at the same time and never before because they have an agreement that stipulates that. The other universities do not have that type of responsibility, so it’s their choice when to release.”</p>

<p>Of course most of them cheat by releasing decisions early via likely letters. Even that term is a misnomer as my daughter’s letter from Cornell stated clearly, “You will be admitted on April 1” (the qualifier “likely” was nowhere to be found and I guess the date was technically wrong as it will be March 31). Apparently that’s irresponsible.</p>

26

<p>how do we know stanford WONT release decisions on april 1st? it’s a bit premature to call stanford irresponsible when nothing has happened either way.</p>

27

<p>

</p>

<p>I think 'The<em>Chronic</em>420 ’ that you need to shut up as it can be seen that you didn’t get the basic lessons of etiquettes. </p>

<p>I don’t think that Stanford needs anyone but we all do need one of the HMSPY institute otherwise we won’t be here on this forum. </p>

<p>You need to remember that many of Silicon Valley great companies have come out of mom’s basement and mine will too.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I do have the right to pick and choose the employees I can hire for my company. I would not like to hire a manager who can’t predict estimated time both in terms of man power and/or elapse time. I think it is a basic lesson of management and if people can manage multi-million dollar company without it then let be it. But for my company I’ll rather hire a smart teenager. I don’t think IQ has any directly proportional relationship with age.</p>

29

<p>I agree with schee410, lets just a chill out and deal with the seemingly impossible wait respectfully. That way if they wait until April 1st then we can be mad they didn’t tell us earlier, and if they tell us today or tomorrow we can be mad that they can’t stick to a schedule. So it’s a win win.</p>

<p>both you guys are uncalled for. stanford doesn’t want students like that. man up.</p>

31

<p>This thread is mind-numbingly ■■■■■■■■.</p>

32

<p>^^This thread (and the OP) are a bit annoying (because it’s clear that Stanford likes to release decisions uniquely), but, please, do not say it is “■■■■■■■■”…do you know how disrespectful that is? I’m surprised anyone on this board would say that…even jokingly.</p>

33

<p>Can you be any more arrogant? Hopefully an AdCom will stumble on here and figure out who you are, after which they’d quickly make sure that you’ll be rejected for claiming that you’re better then they are at their job.</p>

<p>Try to have some human decency, people, and just be patient for our decisions to come.</p>

34

<p>haha what a joke</p>

35

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m not sure why you all are getting worked up. When majority of the decisions i.e. 93% are going to be negative then the institute like Stanford should be more responsible with it. It is a known fact that a good surprise is a wonderful thing but a bad news should always be communicated properly. A surprise is least warranted in such a situation. An uncaring attitude on part of the institute like Stanford can best be described as Irresponsible.</p>

36

<p>Some people would prefer to not have the anxiety related to approaching the stated day-of-release. You can’t say it’s uncaring to release decisions early when people are obviously clamoring for such an occurrence.</p>

<p>If you want to see irresponsible, look at CMU’s admissions decision reporting policies. You’ll love Stanford afterward.</p>

37

<p>I think everyone needs to relax. Decisions will come by April 1st and that’s it.</p>

38

<p>

</p>

<p>There is no documented statistics on it. But on the other hand there is decades of the documented evidence that a fixed time and date works best as the most awaited results have always been the Ivies on March 31st 5 p.m. EST.</p>

39

<p>if this is your guys’ way of killing time until they release decisions, it sucks. hopefully a mod will come by and delete this. </p>

<p>do something productive. i’m gonna go work out.</p>

40

<p>Well, feel free to look at this board and tell me no one wishes their decisions would all come surprisingly earlier.</p>

<p>I’m not saying there aren’t people who would prefer everything to be scheduled. I’m sure there are. I’m just saying it’s not the only kind of person and that there’s nothing saying either one exists more, thus you cannot say a college is being uncaring by choosing one way or the other. Either way, someone gets the shaft.</p>

<p>Also, someone doing something one way for a long time is in no way “documented evidence” for anything. Tell me what is demonstrated by them always going with March 31st, aside from Ivy league wink-wink-nudge-nudge ‘if your school plays nice, so will mine,’ and I’ll give your ideas a shot.</p>
