Calling All Stanford Fall 2010 applicants!

My understanding is that for Stanford there is no confirmation of the Round your submission will be considered in, only that an application was submitted -- at least until you get some sort of status update, from which you can infer that they are processing the app in this round. It's too bad; I do wish Stanford's process were slightly more transparent.

More broadly, I think these schools need to get it together with standardizing the application process. There should be a master or common application, that transports all the common data, and then if they really have to ask additional question, there could be school-individualized riders. But most of that information could standardized. As could the notification process.
