Thanks for providing some clarity there! So does that mean you could apply for financial aid without your tax documents from the most recent year?


I believe you can send in information with estimated 2013 income.

1) Does Stanford negotiate aid/match offers from other schools?
I do not know.
2) Are you at a disadvantage aid-wise if you have already sent in your deposit and committed to Stanford?
I seriously doubt it.
3) If I get into Stanford and the financial stuff works out and I am able to attend, I would very much like to do some sort of internship-type thing before school starts in the fall. Would I be able to leverage GSB career services/the alumni network to chase that down?
You can probably e-mail the career services and cold e-mail alums. If you get a chance to not work - travel.

4) Are there summer boot camps for specific topics (i.e. accounting)?
Yes but it's very light.

RooMoo22, I can't say for sure whether the GSB will match the money offered by other schools but my guess is they will not negotiate with you on it. I know one guy who tried to use his Wharton money as leverage for some more GSB money and it didn't work at all. I think because this is need-based money, it can't really change since they likely have a formula with inputs such as your earnings for the past 2-3 years, savings, etc. If it were merit-based (like for most schools with the exception of HBS and GSB, to the best of my knowledge), you may be able to negotiate.

Same here - despite yoga last night and lots of mental training, I still woke up at 5 am today. :) The next 48 hours will be memorable in my life whatever happens. Good luck to all!

Good luck, everyone. Would be a huge relief to get the call today, especially since I'm expecting a ding from HBS tomorrow after an interview that didn't go as well as I wanted it to...

I think they mean it when they say that interviews are just one component of the entire application. I've had friends who thought they bombed the interview get in, and vice versa. Don't lose hope!

Good luck everyone!

Based on last year thread, if you don't get a call from DB today, you are either waitlisted (more likely) or dinged. gluck all !
