Sayonara, Stanford for me as well.

Those palm trees and 70 degree winter days seem a lot sweeter now that they're officially not an option any more. Oh well - not meant to be (this year at least) for us. We'll all turn out okay I think.

Ding here as well. When this crazy process first started, I would probably have expected to be heartbroken. But I have since found my true dream school that is absolutely perfect for my chosen industry, so all is good in the world. I do believe Stanford's application helped me prepare for my others, and I actually found their questions to help me learn more about myself, so I appreciate that I went through it.

Best of luck all! Hopefully everyone gets settled on their right fit in the next month or so.

"It's not you, it's me"
Love, Stanford.

Good luck to all who interviewed/were invited to interview! And thank you everyone for over-analyzing, over-thinking, and over-stressing with me. You made me feel like I was a little less crazy for doing it myself

except that they wrote: "It's not you, it's that I have many others"

LOL. Good point! "It's not you, it's that I have 6,000 others just like you"

To all the dinged people: I'm very, very sorry it didn't work out for you! I feel your pain entirely, since I'm a reapplicant from last year. Please stay strong! I truly, truly believe it's right what they say so often, that they just have too many applicants and it's not the candidate's fault, just the process. I'm sure you're all going to do wonderful things! Or who knows, maybe you decide to reapply next year and it works out! I've learned that Stanford is not unfriendly to reapplicants (like HBS or INSEAD, the latter discourages reapplicants). Rather, they'll take a fresh look at your app, saying there is no way for them to know what the applicant pool looks like next year.

Wishing you all the best!!

ding dong!

It has been a pleasure sharing this forum! Good luck to all invited to interview!

To asll the others, like me, hope we can get into a school that we can later call the best school!

It is really nice to see the kind of respect Stanford has generated for itself!! In for round 2

Anybody else still have a blank decision page? like askar?

And Ding.

Sorry about that, but it was the same for me. Empty page at first, ding at last.

Ding. It stings, but nothing turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce can't cure.
