For those of you who received an II, how soon after your selection of the interview date did you receive the e-mail that is supposed to contain "further details" about the interview day?

I selected an interview in August, and I got the confirmation e-mail in late September... so don't hold your breath

When did you interview? I interviewed Oct. 15th and they said mid December

I interviewed on the first day and they told us by middle/end of November and that we should contact them if we heard nothing by then.

I might be wrong, but it seems Stanford only rejects occasionally (I assume if there's something major?), and for the MSTPs.. the rest seem to have had silence..
 
If you get in, they call you, but if you get deferred/waitlisted/rejected they don't call or email you, right?

Looks like a few that completed back in July are still waiting to hear back. I have heard nothing from them. No Reject, No II, Nada.
 
Ok. This is gonna sound odd, but is it just me, or did the font and/or spacing change on the status page after login?

Something changed. But then I have not logged in there in a very long time as they clearly said they would communicate via eMail if anything changed.

The scary thing is that now they have the "Logout" right below the "Withdraw"

I know one of the people who made this! I usually find these kind of videos cringy, but this was impressive. The entire setup was so well done, and every joke landed.
 
I signed up for student hosting over two month ago, and I haven't heard back yet for my interview in early December 🙁 If there are any current students who would be willing to host me, please PM me! <3 I'd be so grateful.
 
So gonna assume this is a no....silence since August...no ii yet...no rejection...

soo any news?

I'm not sure if other interview dates were told this, but we were told that acceptance calls were made on Thursday nights every week, right after the committee meeting. Sounds like not everyone was told this?
 
I certainly wasn't, but it's good to have some general idea as to when acceptances go out, so thanks!

Interesting info. Thanks for that! We can probably assume, they're not going to be making any calls this week then.
Did they mention how many interview days a committee meeting would cover? or shall we assume, 1 committee meeting only covers 1 interview group.

They didn't say but I would assume so since I was told I wouldn't hear until January (I interviewed in early November and my group was like the 7th interview group)
 
For my interview, is it better to fly into San Francisco or San Jose? And for those who have already interviewed, do they e-mail you ahead of time if you are in the early or late group or do you not find out until basically the day of? (i.e. should I book my return flight now for after 8pm just in case I'm in the late group)?

Thanks!!

San Jose is closer but you can easily reach the Caltrain station from either which will take you to Palo Alto. SFO is probably cheaper and has better flights so that is what I would use if I were you. They will let you know what group you're in about a week before the interview I believe.

Thank you!
 
Is Stanford receptive to ITA emails? Also, do they interview between Christmas and New Year's or do they completely shut down until early January? I don't want to send an ITA email telling them I will be in San Francisco on the 28th and 29th of December if they aren't even open on those days!

E-mailed them close to a month ago with an ITA email for the week of Dec 14 since I'll be in SF for another interview. Stock reply saying due to large volume of e-mails, it will take a while for them to get to my message. Never heard back after.
