<p>true about stanford; but because stanford encourages independence, i expect more respect for alternative views than the “berkeley’ian” thought. i have been marginalized in the classroom because of my perspectives and to me, this is unacceptable and the sign of a poor teacher and school (this has been at my community college). i suppose to that degree, i fear how i will be treated by teachers at berkeley when i pipe up with thoughts in the classroom.</p>
<p>oh yes. one of my professors loved me until he found out i was a republican. it’s very much a shut up and regurgitate what the professor’s views are sort of environment. that is a generalization to an extent, but many of my experiences at berkeley have been that of liberal indoctrination, where opinion is ingrained into lectures as fact.</p>
<p>(gag) here’s to independent thought!</p>
<p>I’ve just sent an email to <a href=“mailto:admission@stanford.edu”>admission@stanford.edu</a> and the auto-response says the following…</p>
<p>2009 TRANSFER APPLICANTS: We will notify you in April about the status of your supporting materials. If anything is missing at that time, you will have an opportunity to provide it.</p>
<p>So I suppose there’s no need for us to ask them after all ?</p>
<p>Is anyone else applying for aid? I sent in a question to the aid office a couple of days ago, and haven’t gotten an answer yet and with the deadline april 15th, I am hoping one of you might have the answer.
For the CSS Profile, I had to register as a returning student because I had to reapply for aid to my current school because of the great likelihood that I am not going to get admitted to Stanford. “Returning Students” to Stanford, though, do not have to use IDOC to send in tax return forms and such, so I am not given the IDOC option for sending in my forms. I emailed them Tuesday about how to send in my forms otherwise, to make sure that they are received. I haven’t received a reply yet and would like to have my forms postmarked by the deadline.
I was just wondering if anybody else had the same problem with needing to reapply for aid and had this question answered already.
Thanks!</p>
<p>i did the css profile and the FAFSA, but nothing else. I’ve been so busy with school and work, is anything else required?</p>
<p>If you are given the IDOC option, you gotta use that to send in copies of your tax returns and W-2, and your parent’s if that applies. i am not sure on all the documents of the top of my head, but you can find a complete list of what they need on their aid website.
And I got my answer from them this morning:
If you can’t use IDOC because you filed the Profile as a returning student, you have to fax all the forms in and put your name and note that you are a transfer applicant on every page.</p>

<p>^??? what is that, and what does it mean?</p>
<p>I think that is a template for us to input our info, so we all get a sense of who we are applying against. I have seen that type of stuff in other transfer threads.
Personally, I don’t want to know, haha. At this point, all the applications are in and essentially the small amount of us that will actually get accepted is already decided. I don’t need the extra torture of knowing other people are better than me. 
But this is my own opinion…</p>
<p>A month and three days left… The wait is really painful. Oh well, at least I’m visiting the campus next Friday.</p>
<p>I got an email saying that my application was incomplete yesterday. Anyone else get an email?</p>
<p>Yep, got that. Will be sending in materials in the next few days. I should be fine :)</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten an email, but everything was sent out, and I am guessing (hoping) it all arrived safely.
I still wish they’d notify me about it being received…</p>
<p>Didn’t get the email. Hopefully it just means my app is complete.</p>
<p>didn’t get the email and i had already confirmed with them that my app was complete. now it’s time to hurry up and wait.</p>
<p>I was wondering if we got a Stanford University ID number? or is that the ID under the common app supplement?</p>
<p>no, i don’t think so. decisions are emailed, not posted online. in order to check if materials are received, stanford has an email format to use (it’s on the admission site).</p>
<p>i mean i emailed them to make an update on my transfer app and they emailed me back:
</p>
<p>so i was wondering whether we even got this ID number?
i think i should just put the common app ID instead ?</p>
<p>just got an update email from them that all materials are received and will be reviewed in coming weeks; decisions will be emailed the evening of may 15th (i think it said 5pm pst). </p>
<p>30 days left!</p>
