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!!
