Anyone else admitted to Stanford?
Sun Mar 09, 2008 02:11 PM
I know a lot of ppl here still waiting for message from Stanford. No offense indeed. I just wonder if there's anyone else here on this board also got the luck as I had for SLS.

It's weird, like someone said in another thread, that I could see nobody else reporting his/her admission to SLS except myself! Of course I know it's a small program, but I didn't expect it to be that small! Feel a bit lonely in this sense... So if anybody else also admitted, please do post here. Let's get in touch with each other and exchange ideas about SLS!

Dear Blooming;

Congratulations!!

I haven't heard about SLS yet. They had a hard time trying to collect all documents from my application, especially the recomendation letters, so I am not sure if that delayed the process.

If I understood correctly, they are supposed to make a phone interview before making their decisions, but I have not being called as well. What was your experience, did they call you?

I got a position at Yale Law School LL.M Program, which usually includes a generous scholarship offer. I have some few days left to make my decision, and I would like to hear from them before deciding.

Just to let you guys know that I 've been rejected. I've just received an email. They also said they are going to send me a formal letter informing their decision. I have never been interviewed and I sent my application by the deadline. Good luck to all !!!

Kobayashi-

What is your deadline for replying to Yale?

Did you receive a financial aid email from them after the call?

Thank you.

Dear Bonafide;

Yes, I received it. I am looking for the supporting documents and they promised me an offer by the last week of March.

Although the admissions committee recognized my fine record of achievement, they were unable to offer me admission to their LL.M. ;-)

They sincerely regretted it though. ;-)

I received a telephone interview from Stanford this morning, but unfortunately I was in the court and could not hear the questions very clearly. I seem to have given answers not exactly corresponding to the questions. But I assure you all that the lady (sorry I forgot the name) sounded very friendly.

I have deposited the bond to USC this week, but the interview raised some hope. I have to cross my fingers in agony...Bloomy, could you tell us how long have you waited between the telephone interview and the arrival of the email notification?

Hi wuhkong,

I got the email two weeks after the interview. I don't if that's standard, 'cause I have a friend who was informed of his admission only 2 days after the phone interview last year.

wish you good luck!

I also got the interview call a few days ago, which lasted only about five munites. What I can do now is to have my fingers crossed!

Hi blooming,

I was admitted to Stanford and received the e-mail on March 4. I also applied to the Corporate Program too.

Hi,

I used this forum so many times, and although I never post, I feel obliged to everybody here for contributing from their own personal experience.

Anyway, I was admitted to the SPILS program. Notified by mail. No financial offer for the moment ("details will be sent later"). Reply date - somewhere in April.

Most importantly, there was no interview.


I hope this will help someone as some of the posts here helped me.

Cheers.

Hi jcucmhe,

Would you please tell me when you received the admission notice? Is it by email or by letter? Thank you very much!

To the IP applicants, what did SLS send you in the past regarding e-mails and such ? Did SLS retrieve your LSAC reports?

I was admitted by mail on March 3rd to the LLM on Corporate Governance.
I'm still waiting for HLS, but I think I like the weather better in CA.
I think SLS is as good as HLS, and I like the idea of smaller classes. Any thoughts on that?
