Aside from maybe a couple of people who seem to have applied to and are getting interviews at all the top places, the rest of us will probably win some and lose some. I got the Stanford reject as well this week and sort of suspect California won't go all that well for me in comparison to the Midwest/South were I've got roots. There is certainly some degree of regional bias and differential weighting of application elements inherent to this process that we'll never fully understand.
Like warywildcat, I'm a bit surprised by some of the invites I've been lucky enough to receive so far (Duke, NW, etc), but it wouldn't surprise at all if I get mostly rejects from the 10-12 programs I still haven't heard from on the coasts (no connection to Cali, NYC, or Boston). Way to early to worry or make assumptions about the entire process based 1 or 2 programs saying no thanks as there are still a ton of top (and great but less glamorously named) places that haven't sent a single invite or rejection.

Aside from maybe a couple of people who seem to have applied to and are getting interviews at all the top places, the rest of us will probably win some and lose some. I got the Stanford reject as well this week and sort of suspect California won't go all that well for me in comparison to the Midwest/South were I've got roots. There is certainly some degree of regional bias and differential weighting of application elements inherent to this process that we'll never fully understand.
Like warywildcat, I'm a bit surprised by some of the invites I've been lucky enough to receive so far (Duke, NW, etc), but it wouldn't surprise at all if I get mostly rejects from the 10-12 programs I still haven't heard from on the coasts (no connection to Cali, NYC, or Boston). Way to early to worry or make assumptions about the entire process based 1 or 2 programs saying no thanks as there are still a ton of top (and great but less glamorously named) places that haven't sent a single invite or rejection.
