Man, this is not yet 15th in Palo Atlo......hang in there.

keeping my fingers crossed. but given the fact that 3 people in India have already received the call I cant seem to understand why the rest wouldnt have already. But i still hope your theory is true. Good luck to all of us

Well sirs and madams, it appears that this really is the hardest b-school in the world to get into. I believe we have been "axed" (pun intended).

Got a call at 1:30am PST on 14th, am based in Europe. Absolutely ecstatic. Going on vacation today. Listening to California Gurls on repeat (is Stanford going to be like 90210?)

Gives me hope when I reapply in 2 years for my third (and final) time

Definitely a negative on that one lol

As long as you frame it in relation to your MBA aspirations, I don't see a problem at all.

Congrats to all those admitted! Best of luck to everyone else on your applications

Congrats to all those who finally made it to Stan. All the best to the ones who are still waiting.... I am just waiting to formally get my dreaded ding in few hours from now
