Stanford STEP

[Fleet23]

I am an "alternate" for the STEP program, but if I don't get in to TC I think Stanford will be my #1 goal, even though I've been offered aid for Vandy.  (We can debate the sanity of that decision here as well if anyone wants to share wisdom.)  I am curious if anyone has any guesses what the chances might be of admission once waitlisted.  Also, if I'm waitlisted, and by some miracle happen to get in, am I right in assuming my chances for aid are very slim?  

 

I'm making a lot of assumptions here, but would like some opinions as I kill time while awaiting other notifications.

I was waitlisted by Stanford last year. By the time they got back to me with a final decision, I already had to commit to another program. I was not STEP though, but ICE. Things might be different based on program.

FYI, the drop dead date to accept/decline admission is April 15.

Yeah, thanks.  They said to contact them if deciding on other offers, so I wouldn't necessarily have to wait until after the deadline.
