I am also from Africa and I have not heard anything yet. Let us hope that this bodes well for us! It would make sense that they would review African applicants together as most of us are eligible for the Africa Fellowship which is important to the GSB this year.
I went to and African undergraduate and graduate institution, how many of you did the same? I see the most of the contributions from Africans in this forum are from applicants living in the States.
It is good to know that Stanford wants to encourage more applications from Africa. Well, I am an African, based in Africa with an undergraduate degree in Africa. So you are not alone. Although I am applying in Round 2, this is to wish you, my fellow African brother (sister?), good luck!
