Anyone have any insight ? Are they going in chronological order in one round or will they cycle through again ?

I tried calling admissions, but it always just goes to voicemail

Thank you! I'll never understand why schools can't just let their applicants know what is going on...

 

[karenanne]

Thank you so much!!! This is totally stressing me out!

 

[calimed2017]

there are three decision dates, right? is it mid/end January, Feb, and March?

 

[mersirena]

Congrats! Did you interview before December 11th?

And those that interviewed in Dec and have been accepted, when did you interview?

Yep, before the 11th. Good luck everyone!

 

[Darkkprince]

So I called a few more times guys. I've tried every extension the system gives me, but everything just goes to voicemail 🙁

Thanks for trying! I think they are receptive via email.

Just got the call this evening! Seems like they are still trying to reach people that they may not have gotten to this past weekend.

Yay! When did you interview?

Most likely, unless you've gotten an explicit waitlist/other decision, things are still being considered. I know it can be a long wait, but keep in there!

 

[andrewwiggins]

For those of you who interviewed on or after december 11th, did you get a call? also when do you remember the adcom saying they will release their decision for these mid-dec people?

Have they already started waitlisting people?

Mentally preparing myself for a heartbreaking email that will probably come soon 🙁
Has anyone else heard anything?

Radio silence here also. Fairly certain I feel an ulcer forming as the days go by...

Nope... nothing. And I interviewed in October.

You look qualified to me! You'll be fine plus it looks like your cycle is off to a great start

[nab17]

Hang in there fam!

 

[MDWTB]

Interviewed in October- Received e-mail last night saying that my application was still under review and that they anticipate sending a decision in mid March. Anyone else get this e-mail?

I did too.

 

[HealthcareTheHumanRight]

I did too.

Dec 10 interviewee here, I did not receive such an email... why so smoke & mirrors Stanford...

 

[artemis7]

I did too.

I interviewed in October and I haven't received any emails or phone calls. Pretty strange since Mr Herrera told us we should hear back by mid January at the latest, and it would be an acceptance, rejection or waitlist.

Yeah...

 

[clathrin413]

What's the email update letters/new LoR should be sent to post-interview?

 

[ToastCrunch]

What's the email update letters/new LoR should be sent to post-interview?

It's the main admissions email, [email protected], but make sure to include that you are an applicant that has already interviewed.

 

[MDWTB]

Has anyone who has interviewed received a rejection or waitlist decision? Wondering if they are just postponing all post interview rejection decision until mid March?

[rhlehgusl]

Do they send a confirmation email for an update letter/email?

 

[fukuyou]

.

 

[rhlehgusl]

Yes I got one next day. Depends on how busy they are since they only have a few people in admissions manually uploading files for you.

Thanks for letting me know! Also, did you send it to [email protected] or [email protected]?

 

[calimed2017]

Hi everyone, for those that have interviewed was there something unique you liked about the school? Pros/cons?

I really like how it focuses on building physician scientists to pioneer new innovative ways to change medicine. I'm just wondering about different perspectives and how this translates into the curriculum, clinicals, research etc

 

[flumadiddle]

Accepted via email just now!!!!!
Never got a call. Interviewed in October

Does anyone know when second look weekend will be?

 

[hopefulpremed96]

has anyone else who interviewed in October not heard back yet (no calls or emails)?

[OlemaOwl]

did anyone have an interview over the weekend? did they shed light on when we might be hearing? thanks!

 

[HealthcareTheHumanRight]

Waitlisted 🙁 Interviewed 12/10. Anyone know what percent typically get off the waitlist?

 

[DopamineIsDope]

waitlisted, interviewed in october

 

[RIPHarambe]

Waitlisted. Interviewed in October.

 

[TaroMilkT]

Also waitlisted. Interviewed early November.

To those who were waitlisted...sorry, I know it's disappointing. Although if you're interviewing at Stanford, you must have other great choices as well. 🙂 When I interviewed, I was amazed at the quality of the applicants, and they seemed to be nice people as well as incredibly accomplished. I can't even imagine how admissions can choose--it's like trying to pick the "best" Nobel prize winner.

Did Stanford call and let you know, or was it an email? Are they open to giving feedback on application improvement?

Thanks for the encouraging words. It was a generic email with no personal information... since they were such elusive communicators throughout the cycle I doubt they would be responsive to anything like that but worth a shot.
