MSTP rejection. Aw Stanford. Well, maybe there's hope for the MD.

Sorry, @clueless192!! I received my MSTP rejection last week... I definitely know how much it stings!! I'm also hopefully for the MD-only route though. When were you marked complete, if you don't mind me asking?

Hang in there -- I have a good feeling about the rest of the cycle for you! 🙂

Thanks for the encouragement, starfun21. The SDN community is so great <3. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!

I received the "complete" confirmation email 8/19. It was a speedy rejection. My LizzyM is a 73, and I hear Stanford highly values numbers, so that's my guess on what happened.

I got my MSTP rejection last week, but I got an MD-only II this week, so there's still hope!

Ooooooh!!! That's AMAZING!!! Congrats, @BR2016!! So so so so so exciting! And thank you for sharing! I've seen you on the MD/PhD threads and I'm so happy to hear about this. It does also give me some hope, so thank you! 🙂

To the rejected MSTP applicants: if you don't mind me asking, how many weeks had passed between your secondary submission and rejection?

Were you MSTP?

EDIT: Sorry about that too...lol I'm thinking i am on the same boat...so count down begins! If there is any school to get a fast rejection from, I'd like it to be one that wouldn't make me get my hopes up with longer wait (ie. Stanford)....::denial::

yes MSTP - the rejection email said that they were putting me in the MD-only pool, but that's standard procedure for them.
 
I was also MSTP. Marked complete 7/29 and put back into the MD-only pool on 8/20. So like @BR2016, I stayed alive for about a month... hopefully this also means an II will come my way some day? 😉 😉 😉 I do really think it's great though that Stanford at least sends us back over to MD pretty early and seems to give us definitive answers. Sometimes waiting is the worst!

Hope it all turns out well for the few MSTP posts above me here! And BR2016, I know you'll kill it at your interview!

Best of luck! I definitely think it's awesome they put MSTP into MD-only...some schools are very adamant about keeping it separate.
 
Can someone please post the link they are using to access the secondary? I started it about 2 weeks ago using the link from the email, but since mid last week I get a message that the website is down or has moved... Anyone else having this problem?
 
Anyone know how long I should wait to get the secondary before being concerned? I submitted 8/18 and of course Stanford doesn't screen.
 
Did any Md-only get any rejections or IIs?
 
Decided to bite the bullet and toss my app here as well! Hoping that submitting in late August won't affect my app too much! 😛

II received today! 3.8/37.

I'm going to be in the area in early November. Would it be OK to wait and try to schedule an interview then (avoiding an extra round-trip cross-country plane ticket) or should I just go ahead and schedule it now?

I would give them a call and ask about it. They may be able to write you in for a November interview even though they're not officially open yet. And in the meantime, you might be able to better prepare as well.

Yeah, Becky, but when were you complete? Don't you know the SDN rules about telling us you got an II?!

Lol... Jk

But seriously.

haha, I was complete 8/27.. Not sure if this matters, but my secondary was in 7/30 (my undergrad is very slow to send out committee letters)

Congrats! I mean I knew <38 would get II eventually considering Stanford's average is around there. Had this theory that higher stats were expedited and they'd get back to me later or something. I've been complete since late July, and I gots no II love. Hoping I still got a shot. Yeah I know I'm antsy, sorry y'all.

Dang that blows! At least you can have your secondary essay pre-done....they've been posted already. I'd wait another two weeks or so before emailing them (4 weeks for processing). But up to you!

Argh. I went to double check AMCAS and realized I mistakenly said I hadn't applied there before when I had. Wondering if that's what the problem is. Emailed the office, hopefully that'll fix it. Damn it :/

If only, bro. I have a 78+ LizzyM and have no Stanford love yet *cries*
 
At this level, stats don't matter as much as people think. Move along, fellas
 
Any MSTP IIs out there yet? The past two years they started coming out August 15...
