It is very strange that Stanford seems to be rejecting people so slowly. Maybe they are reviewing each 'borderline' application carefully now? Odd.

Sorry to hear that, but you are going to love Michigan and, like a few of us on here, it was a win win situation for you so there isn't too much to be bummed about

Believe me, I'm not bummed at all; I've already done 90% of my mass mailing as a Mich student. I just want my cycle to be over at this point :).

Haha same here. I sent out a ton of mass mails saying I'm an NYU student, and didn't want to have to update every single one by saying "oh wait, now its Columbia".

Just to double check, decision letter sent + no call at S = death. Yes?

So far that has been the case. There were only accepts on that first day via phone. Any other movement has, as you put it, equalled last rights.

I agree. My only guess is that they ranked all the aps they still have, and as acceptance deposits come in, they let go little by little. Totally a guess though. Could just as easily be they are just busy and little by little getting to the declines.

i don't know what the explanation is for their speed (and i certainly don't want to be the bearer of bad news), but they sent around an email to all transfers planning to attend today. 15 people are on it, which fits closely with their usual transfer class size.

it doesn't necessarily mean everyone else is out for sure. i just figured people waiting would like to know.

Thanks, that is good to know. Now that the deadline is past and they have their numbers, should be a flushing over the next couple of days, with maybe the 1 or 2 more accepts if they'll be making any. Though they could keep some around in case some who accepted leave for late Harvard or Yale accepts.

Quite a few people heard recently, but I can't imagine there being too many more. EIW bidding for transfers takes places beginning on Monday, and we get our selections on Thursday. Not sure how one could get the ball rolling and be ready to bid by Monday if they don't already have an acceptance in hand.

I do agree with this. They made very clear that there will not be any extensions in deadlines for EIW.

spoke to NYU, they said that decisions will be complete at the middle of the month, and even then students can participate in OCI. That said, I think if your still UR it isnt a bad thing. People have been rejected, and so they must be still considering you.
