Rachel Guo Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I just noticed that several people had been accepted via phone. I got nervous...because I've got no news yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdPolicy Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I'm sure admits by phone take a little longer than by mass email. Don't worry yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Guo Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Oh you've already been accepted by Stanford! That's great. Congratulations! Is it possible that it takes a bit longer to inform international students? I'm sure admits by phone take a little longer than by mass email. Don't worry yet!

buzz2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) I have bad feelings that....my hopes for Stanford are sealed........And the same thing with UCLA. They usually let all admitted students know about the decision on the same day...........If I don't hear from them today, I think I am dinged.

Rachel Guo Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Oh my God... So you're saying that I'm also rejected by them both?.... ohhh... I have bad feelings that....my hopes for Stanford are sealed........And the same thing with UCLA. They usually let all admitted student know about the decision on the same day...........If I don't hear from them today, I think I am dinged.

St. Jude Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I guess I'm out too. Hopefully better luck next week! That is not necessarily true. They may have second rounds of admission decisions later on. So don't give up hope yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Guo Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 That's what I'm thinking... cheer up! That is not necessarily true. They may have second rounds of admission decisions later on. So don't give up hope yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
focused Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Rachel - You mentioned that you're an international student. I'm not sure where you live, but it may be that it was an inopportune time in your time zone when they were generally making calls today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Guo Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Oh Thank you for your nice message. I live in China. I'm not sure if time is the problem. Yet I do have another problem: my phone can't receive international phone calls... So I'm waiting for emails, kind of desperately Rachel - You mentioned that you're an international student.

pl0x Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Forgive my curiosity but did you apply to any programs other than Stanford? In any case, I'm sympathetic to your feelings -- waiting for that first acceptance is torture. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Guo Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 I've applied to other schools like Wisconsin-Madison, Harvard, Duke, Columbia, Maryland... In total there's a dozen. UW has accpeted me, but no funding information has been given. So I'm not very sure if that counts as an offer. Good luck to you too. Please don't be so tortured.. I'm trying to tell myself "whatever will be will be". Forgive my curiosity but did you apply to any programs other than Stanford?

Fallapplicant77 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Yes, I wouldn't worry too much right now. I got the call but not an email, for example, so having not heard back at this time may not be an indicator one way or another (especially if you're abroad).
