sneezy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 You are good people. Congrats on the acceptance and thanks for posting. No problem. I haven't posted here before but (nervously and against my own will) surfed this forum for months. Will try to stay away from now though, but we'll see how that goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradhorn Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Stanford both called AND emailed with the acceptance notification to that applicant. That's very thorough on their part. Also, it doesn't leave much doubt for me where I'm at in my Stanford chances. This really takes a lot of the drama out of opening that rejection letter I'm getting next week.

TheCreuset Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Congratulations to the Stanford applicant. That's a great mental place to be right now. Made an account to claim the UC-Davis acceptance. First school to hear from, 14 more to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind, could you give us a glimpse of your background/research interests/etc? Sorry if it's too nosy, I'm just curious. And yeah Tufnel, taking the drama out is certainly right.

wannabee Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Congrats to both Creuset and Sneezy! I am afraid this is the start of a long process for many of us with much sweating and gnashing of teeth. I am not expecting to hear anything for at least 10 days. I'll be in transit to Cairo starting tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_loblaw Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I haven't posted in the results section yet, but I also received a call yesterday evening around 7:30 eastern time from a professor I had mentioned in my personal statement letting me know that I had been accepted to Stanford. I didn't get an email though and he said I should get one soon with more info. Good luck to everyone! I didn't get the impression that everyone was going to be called at once, so I'm sure there are still more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanford is one of my top choices - lots of Africanists/IR/ethnicity people there - so I'm particularly worried about this one. Congratulations on being accepted!

bob_loblaw Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks! All I really feel comfortable saying about my background is that my field is American, so if anything I'm not taking a spot from you That's great to hear.

balderdash Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Thanks! All I really feel comfortable saying about my background is that my field is American, so if anything I'm not taking a spot from you Nah, I wouldn't worry even if it were IR. If you got in, I'm sure you deserve it. By the way, to everyone: whoever posted that bit on the results page was not me. But it does look like I now have competition...

Sorry if it's too nosy, I'm just curious. And yeah Tufnel, taking the drama out is certainly right. Don't want to be too specific here but my research interests lie at the intersection of comp. politics and IR, 3.98 GPA from a large public univ, 800Q 650V on the GRE. In general I would say that me getting into Stanford shows that you don't have to come from an elite undergrad institution. I did have one or two fairly well-known professors writing my LORs though, and I spent alot of time on my SOP. Tufnel and ddongari 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GopherGrad Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Really excited for the positive results; none of my schools have hit the list, though. Tufs, yea or nay on Stanford, I've got lots of faith you're going somewhere great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count de Monet Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) ahhhh!! Freaking out now that Stanford is starting to come out with acceptances! Edited January 27, 2011 by Count de Monet Tufnel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddongari Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) I was curious (all through the night actually). Do you think Stanford's already done with their acceptances or are they still in the process of sending them out? If they're done, I will have to somehow find a way to regain my peace of mind. Otherwise, I'll have to remain in utter agony, as Stanford was the school I was truly passionate about attending.

There's no way they are done...I mean, I know not everyone who Stanford will accept is on this website and will report it, but since they said they wouldn't tell us until the first week in February I can only assume that some people are getting "courtesy calls" from certain professors. These aren't the official letters, but calls letting certain people know they got in. ...I hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
