2013-2014 Stanford University Application Thread

[termitechips]

Is anyone receiving notifications through email? I interviewed mid-January and haven't hear anything. I know you get a phone call or snail mail for acceptance, but is rejection only snail mail?

All rejections that people have reported on this thread (both pre- and post- interview) have been by snail mail.

Thanks! Are people getting acceptances through email?

 

[termitechips]

No. Acceptances happen either on the phone or through snail mail.

Congrats to everyone with IIs! Just out of curiosity, did you send an update letter at all? I've been complete since October and was considering sending one.

I sent them an email last week for a status update on my application and received a response that my application was still under review. Later that same evening I got an II. They don't take pre-interview application updates.

So... I know for a fact my post office lost an important letter for me recently or delivered it to the wrong address... what if Stanford has already sent me a rejection letter but I just haven't received it

I was also concerned and was glued to my inboxes, so I just sent them an email. They might be able to confirm.

 

[Snickerdoodles]

Cool. I bet a few of us have the same concern. Let us know what they say, please!

it seems as if a ton of people got waitlisted. is if safe to assume that this year is gonna have zero movement off the wait list like the last couple years? I just want to know if there is still hope

[Juggs Gotcha]

Are there any particularly good threads for interview advice? I've never done an MMI before.

Congrats! That's a pretty quick turn around! Was it by phone call or snail mail?

Another SMSI here. I'm happy to answer questions about what it's like here.

Financial aid has been mentioned. Stanford aid offers are all need based and sometimes seem less than other schools in this tier. What's often overlook are the Stanford University Loan and the various sources of extra funding. First, SU loans may be made available to you in your financial aid packages. These loans offer up to $2000 per quarter at 0% interest and $2000 per quarter at 4% interst ($4000/Qtr total). Way better than Stafford, grad plus, etc. Then you can get money to do research $2700/Qtr for med scholars and $4000-$19000/Qtr for TAing. Here's some more info: http://med.stanford.edu/md/mdhandbo...stantship & MedScholars Rates for 2013-14.pdf All said and done, the average debt at graduation is low and manageable, and that's before considering loan forgiveness programs: https://www.aamc.org/services/first/first_factsheets/112344/public_service_loan_forgiveness.html 10 years at IBR and your federal loans are forgiven.

Phone call from Dean Garcia! Ya surprisingly fast turn around. Wasn't expecting to hear until late march/april

Hi all! congrats to those with II's and acceptances. For those of us still floating in limbo, can we safely assume that if we did not hear anything today, we should anticipate a rejection letter?

Wait why would we assume this? Is today the end of the notifications or something? Also haven't heard anything.....

Yeah I think it's safe to say that. The website states that they send IIs through February. *sigh*

 

[mcatteach]

So has anyone from the late January Interviews heard anything?? I'm over here sweating bullets

 

[Snickerdoodles]

I interviewed mid/late January and still haven't heard either way. Would love to hear about anyone else, good or bad.

 

[Farmerboy]

I interviewed mid-February and recently got accepted...

 

[carlton]

I was in the late January group. crossing my fingers for you @mcatteach!

Yeah, total silence from Stanford over here too. I wish their admissions office knew how to use phones...

Apparently there's only one more interview group and that's the last interview day if I'm not mistaken.

Does anyone know whether or not a facebook group will be created or if anyone plans on creating one?

 

[funniful]

Are you waiting for an II or reject, too or did you already interview? If so, what'd you think of Stanford, if you don't mind me asking?

Interviewed in the second to last interview group in late Feb. Grew up in the Bay Area, so was pretty familiar with Stanford and its reputation.

 

[meepA]

Any recently accepted students receive a package or email about revisit? I got a call from Dean Garcia last week but haven't heard anything since.

I got an email from the director of MD admissions with details regarding the Stanford admit weekend. (About 9 days ago)

So why no rejection letter... Still...

 

[BruinBear13]

So why no rejection letter... Still...

Lol seriously. I feel I was in a pile that was not even worthy of rejection.

+1... I'm like that for a lot of schools. Others have already been rejected, but i'm still in limbo..

 

[Snickerdoodles]

Wait list letter came in the mail today. Does anyone think they will be pulling from the wait list this year since they over admitted last year?
