Thanks! Are people getting acceptances through email?
No. Acceptances happen either on the phone or through snail mail.
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.
I was also concerned and was glued to my inboxes, so I just sent them an email. They might be able to confirm.
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 🙁
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
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*
I interviewed mid/late January and still haven't heard either way. Would love to hear about anyone else, good or bad.
congrats!! phone call?
Thanks! stanford is my first choice. I hope you get the call too!
What interview dates were available?
March 27th was the only date left available.
Interviewed in October and still have no decision. Anyone else on the same boat?

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

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.
I got an email from the director of MD admissions with details regarding the Stanford admit weekend. (About 9 days ago)
When did you receive your call?
Early January.
Lol seriously. I feel I was in a pile that was not even worthy of rejection.
I was in the same pile lol
+1... I'm like that for a lot of schools. Others have already been rejected, but i'm still in limbo..
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?
I can't help with ur question (though I hope your theory is right). when did u interview?
Hey guys my friend wanted y'all to know that Stanford is calling people today. She just got the call-Accepted! 🙂
Good luck to the rest of you!
Good luck to the rest of you!
