Never hurts to clarify things especially when there are format issues due to uploading.

A quick doubt:

I uploaded my resume in a .doc format on the Stanford Application system. However I noticed today that all the fonts of my resume have changed and it looks a bit messy. Please let me know what should I do? Should I mail them my resume again? Would that look negative as it has been a week since the deadline? Please advise.

Thanks,
lostphoton

I think you should give it a try by emailing them your original resume. The Stanford Admissions office is quite responsive, so you'll find out soon whether they will include it in your app. Good luck!

Thanks cyrez8 and Aspiria. I mailed them and received a response within a few hours. They mentioned that they can view my resume properly at their end and also that a lot of candidates are complaining about this issue however the resumes are in right format at their end. So that pacifies my soul

I guess its always better to mail and clarify rather than sitting and worrying

@mbaDreamBig: I am a Reliance Fellowship Finalist. I know quite a few of my friends who have qualified for the scholarship.

@All: Any news of Stan interview invites? Last year the invites started even before the deadline. Guess they should have started till now.

All the Best! to everyone around

Cheers,

I should have clarified - my only school so far. The application took so me so much time I couldn't get it together by round 1. I'm a bit indecisive as to which other schools to apply to. Stanford is far and away my #1 (as it is most others as well I'm sure)

Mine changed to "Accepted". Do you think that means I've been accepted or that they accepted my application into
their system? Just kidding.

UGH, here we go AGAINNNNNN!

"Your application is complete and currently under review."

For those of you lucky enough to do this twice (or even thrice!!!), the good news is that you become less obsessive... I only check this site 4 times a day instead of 4 times an hour!

'Paranoidesness' is contagious. I'm also under review as well...hopefully they are looking at the updated essays and not the essays that were messed up from uploading.
