i didn't see dr. garcia at all during my interview day, so i didn't write a thank you to him. actually, i was admitted before i wrote the thank yous, so i guess it doesn't really matter.

CreativeWriter said:for those of you wondering about thank you notes....I think the general rule is only write letters to those people that you interviewed with, and with whom you interacted with SIGNIFICANTLY... otherwise, it would be obvious that you are trying to impress them....
SmartyPants said:I just got an interview invitation per email today!! There is still hope!
SmartyPants said:Thanks CreativeWriter! I'm soooo excited!!
Can you recommend a not too expensive hotel around the area?
SmartyPants said:Thanks guys, you're awesome!! I'll definitely check it out. And I'll let you know how everything went. Wish me luck!!

UCLAreject said:Well it's Thursday...again...and the adcom is currently dreaming about their meeting later today in which they will finally decide to give me a call.
By the way does it mean anything at all if the faculty interviewer tells you that they "will rate you very highly"...or is it just bs?
Thanks
UCLAreject said:Hey guys,
Instead of getting a phone call today I got a thin envelope in the mail. Its been a pleasure being a part of this thread, but alas it seems my time has come. Best of luck to the rest of you.

PM1981 said:Hey everyone... I just got accepted last night!!!! I interviewed last wednesday. Is anyone on this thread going to cali from Fl?
Tra La La said:Hi all! Congrats to everyone who's been accepted to Stanford. Very much well-deserved.
Well, I have been complete over 6 months at Stanford, and I have heard nada. Nothing. Zilch.
Does this mean that a rejection is soon coming? I have been very fortunate (thank God) to have been accepted to UCLA and UCSF. But going into this process, Stanford was my top choice. My attitude has changed a little, but I would still love the opportunity to interview.
Any luck left for me?

CreativeWriter said:hey Tra La La....there's still hope if you have not heard from them. They will be interviewing until April. So don't give up yet! I hear ya on the randomness of this process...I have been at several top 15 med schools, but been rejected by some lowered "ranked" schools. so basically you just never know!
keep the hope until you find out, one way or another ...at least you have the best two Cali schools under your belt! UCSF and UCLA! by the way, I am consindering UCLA, too )
take care

Haybrant said:wow! thats amazing turn around time; they must really want you. I just interviewed last wk and im worried now thanks to you I thought they said 4 wks? whats the deal. Are you're stats impressively high? did the interview go particularly well? did you write to the dean or anything? did garcia call you, or email? oh, and are you going for sure? thanks and congrats!
Haybrant said:yay, good luck treg; im going out on a limb and guessing they will love you.
sockandmittens said:Yay! Congrats- that's great. How'd you find out on a monday?
Haybrant said:just found out i got in! barring any unforseen circumstance Ill see those of you who decide to go next year!
Haybrant said:thanks! apparently they were suppossed to notify me last wk but for some reason i didnt get that notification; went in to turn in an update and one of the admin people recognized me and broke the news!
Treg said:. . . and three were no shows!
Treg said:Well, Stanford is a great school, with beautiful facilities, happy students, etc., but I am not sure if it is the best place for me. My faculty interviewer wanted to talk science like >95% of the time, and even my student interviewer wanted to talk about my research first thing. I am perfectly happy to discuss my work, but there is more to me than that....
By the way, there were supposed to be 7 people there, but only three of us showed up because two had called in sick and three were no shows!

CreativeWriter said:I agree with Hybrant...my faculty interview was an dingus, but I still got in, and I feel he's just one crazy locofusker in the crowd....
this is a good site!

Treg, you will be fine...not sure if WashU is any better, environment wise...
