the Stanford Facebook group suddenly dropped from 1319 to 1298 members today
Hey guys, I’m an international student but I live in the US. I’m not sure whether Stanford is favoring internationals this year (cuz they pay full tuition) or not favoring them (cuz they may not be able to travel to campus). I guess I could be considered a “domestic international” student haha, so how do you think Stanford will consider my application on the waitlist?
@AdmirableFudge1 : I guess the waitlist process is the same for all applicants regardless of citizenship or country of residence. Hang in there and good luck!
We’ll probably hear back this week
@JakeW123 I sure hope so! Yesterday was the Gap Year deadline correct?
My daughter just elected to take a gap year yesterday from Stanford. Maybe this will create some movement on the Waitlist. Good luck.
@Skrunch Thanks for letting us know. Do you by chance have a rough estimate how many people took a gap year?
What will she be doing during her gap year? We encouraged ours to consider one as well but good options seem limited.
Has anyone (other than people who were already admitted off of the waitlist) gotten a portal update since March 27th?
Just discovered this nice group. It is now June 19, has anybody been off the list yet? Discovered that one admit had an ethical violation due to plagiarism last September. Anyone can google it. Does the admission process care? What should be done? Hope more of us gets off the waitlist. Good luck to each of us.
I have not seen statistics on the gap year percentage. I know 2 of the 11 people admitted from our state (based on regional welcome call in mid-April after admission) are taking gap years. I don’t know how many of those folks accepted Stanford–but most seemed like they were going to accept.
Just got email (6:24 pm cst) and was admitted.
My daughter just got in off the waitlist this afternoon
at 4:24 pst as well?
I JUST GOT OFF THE WAITLIST AND WAS ADMITTED!! Holy cow I wasn’t checking this forum at all and kind of had my whole life at my committed school figured out but I’m in!!!
My daughter just got off the waitlist too! (I can’t believe I am even writing this) - 4:20 PST - it is mayhem here!
congrats guys! looks like i didn’t get anything 
I was just admitted too!! I’m from the South fyi so they are admitting people that aren’t necessarily close by.
DS got admitted!! Hard to choose between his committed HYPSM school and Stanford. Congrats to all who got off from the wait list!!
I just got in today too!!
