I was a little bit disappointed because it was 09:00 PM (just after work), I wasn't in condition so I have just tried to do my best but I have no hope to be selected...
FYI I am from France.

SLS is the most selective program, so nobody would have confidence. Let's have fingers crossed!

I was told that decison will be provided within one to two weeks. Is that the same to you?

I didn't apply to Stanford (I'm an American J.D. holder, thus ineligible), but I'm curious, exactly what purpose are these "candidate interviews" meant to serve? What kinds of questions were you asked?

From what I've been able to gather from the posts, the admission process at Stanford seems outlandishly tricky!

Hi Farwest,
The lady on the phone told me that I would receive an answer within one week or two week but in any case before the end of March.

Hi all.... I have applied for LL.M. in Law, Science & Technology. I recently sent an e-mail to the SLS admission committee, requesting the status of application, as i had not heard from them since early Jan-08. In their reply dated March 18, 2008, they confirmed my TOEFL waiver and informed that the admission results shall be available by April 1, 2008. However, they did not mention anything regarding this tele-interview.

Is there anyone out there who has applied for the same LL.M program & is in the same situation as me? Do reply... Regards...

Hi all, yesterday I received an email from Stanford confirming admission into the law, science & Technology class. It is said the class will be 10 to 15 students.

I have practiced IP law for nine years in China after graduation from Peking University law school. Rather too old in comparison with you all...

I plan to accept the offer. Wish to see some of you in Stanford!

I applied for Law, tech and science,too., and I didn't get a phone call. I sent e-mails to Stanford several times asking about my status and all they say is "Wait until April 1".Okay, I'm waiting. What can I do other than that? But this tedious admission process is really wearing me down. I'm a little angry to find out so many people are literally "suffering" as well. Stanford people!!Hurry up to make decisions!!

Wuhkong, may I ask which year you graduated from PKU? I am your alumni. I was also admitted by Stanford's IP Program and will go there definitely.

Congratulation! aliya! Two people from the same country seem exceptional, considering Stanford's small class size. Both of you should deserve that.

Any other admitted applicant?

I wonder if Stanford simultaneously sends decisions to all admitted applicants. Does anyone know?

Rejection notices seem to have been dispatched later than admissions ones last year. Does this mean that applicants including me who haven't received e-mail now after the interview have no chance to be admitted? Any information would be appreiated.

I understand they release the admission decisions almost at the same time.

I don't see too many people waiting for SPILS here, but here goes:

I emailed Stanford to find the status of my app, and they told me that my file was currently under review by the admissions committee.

I suppose I am one of the last candidates to be considered by Stanford on account of a courier-service-tragedy, but they were very friendly and understanding about it all and finally did process my application.

Hope this helps anyone wondering about SPILS status.

wuhkong, thanks.

Enjoy your Stanford life!

Wuhkong, I originally thought you are my classmate--you are not that old as I might be only 1 year younger than you. My graduation year is 1999. If u want, you may send me email at aliya_wang@yahoo.com.cn and we may discuss more details. Have a good day.
