Jeanne A.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing ☺ So, you were admitted without an interview? (asking with some hope).

Oh ok ok. I am checking my inbox every minute now..

Well it means the emails are still being sent out and we also can get our results any time?

Good morning guys. First thing in the morning - checked this forum, then the results of those who informed for the moment, then checked email. Nothing in the inbox. Since it is evening at Stanford area, I think no sense for me to wait for anything today, during my day time, as they will start emailing in their mornjng which means my night time. Anyway, i realize that i am rejected. So letter is just a formal confirmation. Feel very disappointed and broken. No "self-helping" and "sdlf-supporting" techniques prepared by myself in advance can help me.

Yes....looks like that..

OMG??????? ME TOO???

Me to SHIPS

Isn't it the same thing? I mean I thought an email comes to check portal? I thought this is how it works? No? ??‍♀️☺

??????

OMG yes i just checked. I guess that I will wake up tomorrow morning and my result will be in the inbox ?

Yes, I also understood it like that. Re 'saving energy' - thank you? ok then good night guys and see you all very soon??

Well, i applied only to Stanford ?

Oh, ok. It's 1.25 at night here and I am deciding whether I should go and try to sleep or should I wait for results ?

Hi Toyo! Do you mean the results will be sent tonight?

Yes..also checked my mail...just in case ?????????? nothing in there

Yes, just went to check after seeing your post (this one) here..OMG

OMG

Wow it's good that your friend and your partner will be there with you (even via zoom).. as for me, I decided to start a video when I check my email? and if it's positive I will post it on YouTube ? as many of those "Stanford Admission reaction" videos posted there ?

Well...I was thinking about that..I think I will have some tea before opening the email.. I don't have any idea what's behind this particular choice of mine ???‍♀️seems like there is no particular logic??‍♀️but this is how I imagine the situation for myself.. But why you decided to read the posts first, prior to reading your decision? Any logic? Please share, may be i will follow your example☺

Yes...just to continue with this "mental preparaton" a little bit.. again, I am talking here just about myself..you know there is no reason to.prepare for admission, I mean you get admitted, of course full of surprise, tears of happiness, shouting out loudly, informing parents and family and friends, energy and positivity - just the way it is shown in youtube "admission reaction videos". And then life goes as one planned, getting ready for the study, ets. But in case of rejection it is different. I know it will take time for me to process the situation. And also, since I did not tell any one about my application, in case of rejection I will stay with that rejection face to face, on my own, and will need to process that within myself, without sharing with anyone. Well, I hope you understand what I mean: we all are sending applications not to get rejected, but to be admitted. So, being rejected will hurt anyway. So for me personally at this stage it's important to accept the reality 1) without feeling bad about myself. 2) without blaming myself 3) seeing future without Stanford PhD

Well, yes...and for me what is also very important is the next stage after the decision letter is received: in case it is rejection I have to be able to accept that without seeing the world and my life in black colors. This is my personal thing though..I know I have to be mentally ready to accept without blaming myself for not being good enough...again, it s just my personal thing I think...

OMG. Well...i do not know what to say ? I supposed that... I just think that I have to admit my situation and to be morally ready for rejection..that is what I have to do being honest with myself.

Well..now googling Stanford admission and rejection letters..thinking which one I will get..

Yes..can relate to re-reading SOP. But also, with regards to interviews...such a coincidence! Because I also have just got to Stanford GSE official website, FAQ section, to read again with regards to interviews and to make sure that interview is not a required part of selection. So, sitting at this section of their website right now and reading that, to confirm again for myself, and to calm myself down.
