Does anyone know how strict Stanford typically is when it comes to receiving letters of recommendation before the submission deadline? The application makes it clearly seem that they won't accept anything post-deadline, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything more?

I have an emergency situation that's just cropped up now (24 hours before submission!) where one of my recommenders might not be able to submit his recommendation before the weekend (Jan 9th-10th) due to some personal reasons. Is it worth calling the Admissions Office ahead of time (though I can't imagine them saying anything but the fact that it's my responsibility to ensure everything is submitted in time), or is it better to submit my application, and call them AFTER that saying that one of my recommenders couldn't make the deadline and will be submitting in a couple of days - hoping the fact that I have submitted already will make them more understanding.

If anyone has any point of view here, I will really appreciate it. Thanks.


I was at the information session and the Head of Admissions said they try their best to attach late recommendations to the application. But you run the risk of someone reading your application without all recs. That doesn't mean you'll automatically be disqualified, but that you are at a disadvantage. I would say if it's 1-2 days late it wouldn't be the end of the world. But I would call Stanford to make sure they know the situation and that it's coming. I'd also add a note in your application explaining the circumstances.

I have reviewed my essays more than ten times now, but for some reason cannot hit the <submit> button.

What's wrong with me? :?

@ Colequinn...Great minds think alike...love the avatar

@ Jivana...You are not alone my friend...I also have stage fright (plus, I'm dead tired - just had to make sure I spelled 'fright' correctly)

@ Anyone and Everyone...Here's what's keeping me up...I went to law school for 2 months, hated it, dropped out...I have no academic record there and no transcript...should I include that in my application under this section...Please list all other post-secondary colleges, universities, or institutes attended, including those attended for summer sessions or evening classes.

I had planned on putting it in there but am having second thoughts

oof...hmmm this would be my thought process. how soon did you go back to work? if you were able to get a job within a month or so, keep it under 4 months, i wouldn't mention it because it wasn't a significant gap. if its over 4 months, you can say you were taking classes to broaden your knowledge and expand your skill set while looking for a job, and once you found it, you decided to just stick to your work cause you had a large work load.... or something like that.

fyi: both your avatars are friggin awesome.

I wonder how adcom actually begins the review process. Do they sort applications by geography, gmat score, random?

@Lakai777...Thanks for the quick reply! I started working almost immediately after so I decided against adding that information on my application at the last minute. It's been so fun over-analyzing every little detail that I almost didn't want to turn in my application :wink: ....but now it's all done. Interviews start going out middle/end of February now?

Tough one..

For one, I am also a sub 3.0. But I don't know admits with sub 3.0 GPA.

My thought was that every school has a few sub 3.0'ers every year.
And so does Stanford. I know cause adcom mentioned it during an info session I attended. The chances of
getting admitted decreases dramatically the more you go below 700 GMAT or 3.0 GPA for sure. But I would say it is not impossible, provided that you display intellectual ability through some other channels. But if you have BOTH sub 700 and sub 3.0, I would say it would be really really challenging. It would be extremely difficult to convince Adcom that you can take the rigorous curriculum.

Just my thoughts.
