Thanks a lot!! Crush the interview!
Good luck on the II
There's a link from the portal when you schedule the interview to a whole site with information.
Great, thank you!
only date i could pick was 2/20
For people who already interviewed from out of town where did you stay? Did anyone not stay with a student host? I'm looking at hotel options and any ideas would be great!
Airbnb for two nights and student host for one. If Yoh need recommendation for Airbnb let me know.
For hotels, I would recommend the Cardinal Hotel in Palo Alto. It is within walking distance (5 min) of the Palo Alto transit station where you can take a shuttle to the med campus. The Cardinal Hotel has single rooms (nice, updated, quiet) with shared hallway bathrooms (there was never a line or anything). Because of the shared bathrooms the price is <$140 a night even though it is a "nice" hotel. If you don't mind sharing, well worth it.

I don't think there is one yet, but I'd love to join one if someone makes it!
I don't know about the how, but according to the website with interview day details, we're supposed to find out about 2 weeks before the interview.
I read that, too. I'm only one week away though.
Ohh, gotcha. I think that would warrant a call to admissions to make sure you didn't get skipped over or have an email sent to the wrong address or something.
The last interview is offered in April.
Sorry! I've been following the thread on and off I just must have missed it.
II just now.
Do you mind sharing when you were complete?
Yep, 8/14 I believe.

Stats?
Dang, looks like they are cycling back through and already passed me up again. Looks like I won't be visiting California. Anyways, good luck with your interview! I hear its beautiful there.
IMO complete date doesn't mean much at this point in the cycle. They have reviewed every file at least once and are going back and picking and choosing who to interview based on whatever their preferred metric. I highly highly doubt they do this chronologically. Either way, I'm in the same boat as you! (Complete mid-July)
MCAT in low 30s. sGPA and cGPA between 3.40-3.65. I only saw one date open and it was in late March. Anyone know if Stanford usually goes this late into the cycle?
@Willy38 Thank you! I hope you hear some good news from them soon!
Thanks for the information. Crush the II!!
No problem and thank you!
Congrats.
Got II yesterday morning, but I most likely won't go. (only II from west coast so far). GL to all
Tell them to pass it to me. Ill slide you a few benjamins sponsored by my future debt. 😉 stats/complete btw?
I would pay some negative money as well... let the bidding war begin haha
Requesting credit limit on cc's as we speak.
For waitlisted applicants, do we need to do anything to confirm our spot on the waitlist? My letter was sent to my parents' house and the picture they sent of the letter (3 paragraphs) doesn't mention needing to accept a spot on the waitlist, although I know it is common practice at other schools. Please advise

Can I ask you when you got the letter, and when you interviewed? Based on last year's thread, a second wave of post-interview decisions is going to come out very, very soon...
Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. But from what it sounds like, you don't need to formally accept a waitlist spot. I'm sure another person can better answer that question, though.
Can't quote right now because sdn sucks on my phone, but I have a physical copy of the letter and it makes no mention of needing to confirm the waitlist. You should be good.
Waitlisted and heartbroken. Letter dated 2/2/15.
So far it seemed that the decisions have been coming out in a steady stream...I knew acceptances have been going out here and there. Stanford isn't admitting all that many students, so I doubt there will be a "wave".
I agree 100% and thanks for the condolences.
