I got waitlisted from SPILS. For those admitted can you share the deadline provided by SLS for you to accept the offer? Just trying to figure out the tentative date of action on the waitlisted applicants. If you are selecting another school, sharing that information will also help to ease my mind..

Me too!!  And I just found that I’ve been rejected by SLS but whatever!

While Stanford is not my priority school but nevertheless I must highlight the lack of professionalism and student-centric approach by Stanford LLM Adcom. With a class size in double-digit, I cannot possibly understand what restricts them in effectively communicating decisions to the applicants. Other schools, (Berk, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard) with a larger intake have such a robust admissions process. If applicants(accepted or rejected) are given such hostile treatment by the Adcom, I am not sure if Stanford LLM is the right place. There's only so much the name and brand can do. The attitude of releasing decisions much after deposit deadlines of other colleges reeks of elitism and indicates a lack of care towards an applicants' time, energy, and finances. As the third/fourth best Law School, it can't behave as an arrogant first. 

I can't agree more. From mid March till now, I still can't believe Stanford has nothing to provide to his candidates who at least paid $85 for their application. I will strongly advise my peers not to apply this school.

Btw, I was admitted to Harvard, you lost me, Stanford.

I'm an aspiring applicant for the 2022-23 SPILS LLM and am wondering how selective Stanford is. I've heard that they're usually softer on LLM applicants than JD applicants. Did you all have perfect undergraduate grades and outstanding resumés when you applied? I'm having a little trouble gauging the value of my CV and would appreciate any insight as to what stage of your career you were at when you applied to Stanford.

Any updates on the waitlist?

Any updates on the waitlist?

Any updates on the IELBP Program? 

Is there anyway I can contact offer holders (SPILS ideally)?  There is no movement in the waitlist, and I find it hard to understand how they can still be uncertain at this point if people will enroll.  Surely by now people have begun the process of matriculating.  Are they just holding on the the waitlist in case some are unable to get a visa or magically decide not to accept the offer at this late stage?
