October88, can you elaborate? What did you dislike about the school?
Congrats again to those who are accepted!! Hope to be in your shoes soon 🙂
To those who have interviewed: how important did you feel going to the event the night before interviews was? I can't really afford to take many more days off from work for interviews so I was thinking of flying in the night before but now I'm wondering if I should sacrifice that extra day.
What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Same, although I was complete like back in August, and with only one day to choose from...in March...I hope they have spots still open by then
Guys! I need help. Luck have it, I'm in the third group for my interview in January. That group is scheduled to end at 6:15 PM. Several weeks earlier from today, I bought a ticket from SF International Airport to Portland, Oregon that leaves at 7:55 PM (IDK what I was thinking....)
Should I change my departing flight? Will I not have enough time? >_< I know that Stanford to SF takes about 30 minutes by car and I'm planning on taking SuperShuttle. Did the interview session end earlier or later than scheduled?
THANK YOU!

Thank you Tots for the information! I rescheduled my flight to one hour later! SF traffic must be horrible!
Did anyone receive a call from Dean Garcia yesterday? If so, when did you interview?
Any recommendations for hotels close to Stanford? I tried calling the Stanford Guest House today to make a reservation for my interview but apparently they're closed until Jan 7th.
You can make a reservation online! http://www.stanford.edu/dept/rde/cgi-bin/drupal/hospitality/guesthouse/reservations.htm
It also allows you to get a Stanford Medical Center (i.e. interviewee) discount if you click the right buttons on the bottom of the page I believe.
Very nice and close by! You just have to take the SLAC Marguerite shuttle to campus (runs every 20 minutes or so?), and it stops right in front of the LKSC, where you'll need to be for your interview day 🙂🙂
This is a great deal for a great room with a convenient bus to campus 🙂
I stayed at the Coronet Motel and it was very nice. I think it was $130 per night, but I was able to walk to the medical school no problem and the Marguerite stops a block away from it. Definitely recommend. And there are a lot of good to-go restaurants nearby (shawarma, falafel, bagel shop, really good coffee at Zombie Running).

Just got an invite this morning. It's a good thing that "the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all." #uncommonwisdom
They're working on a Saturday? 😕
Anyone know what the weather at Stanford is like in January? Will it be cold? Raining? Should I bring my pea coat?

Their website tells me that there aren't any more rooms left on my interview day. Time to start reading reviews on the other nearby hotels 😀
Hopefully at least a few of the nearby hotels are close to the Marguerite shuttle stops.
What I do know is that the MMI will have a lot of acting involved...and I suck at impromptu acting. =(
Sorry I can't be more helpful. It's honestly not something I can pinpoint - I just did not get a good vibe from the school and did not imagine myself being happy there - that's all. It's obviously an exceptional school and perfect for some people and I am thrilled to be attending my first top school that is perfect for me!
hahah, that's awesome.. everyone knows macs are better 😛
anyone have sample of notes they wrote to withdraw from a school that has accepted them?
Alma mater and first choice showed me some love! So excited for August!!
Has anyone gotten rejected pre-interview recently? I haven't heard back in a while.
