Oh man, it's a bloodbath in here. I was complete late September and my LizzyM is below the 10th percentile. Bracing for impact.

 

[MC_Infarction]

Adding to the list of those who were rejected. First of the season, so it stings, but made slightly better by the fact that I had an interview today.

LizzyM ~78, OOS, complete 8/31.

Oh man, it's a bloodbath in here. I was complete late September and my LizzyM is below the 10th percentile. Bracing for impact.

Watching all of our fellow applicants go down and here I am with a much lower LizzyM, complete mid-July, just waiting for my rejection.

 

[Skittsie13]

Another one on the massive rejection train. Complete 9/8, LizzyM 74 so I'm not surprised at all. Good luck to those still in the running!

 

[rakasan]

Adding to the rejection train as well. Complete late Sept. LizzyM 72-73. NorCal resident so I couldn't help but send in my donation Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!

 

[FREAKIN OUT]

Rejected! Complete in August. Lizzy m 80.

Y'all thought the bloodbath was over yesterday??

Lol same.

Sadly it wasn't. Rejected. OOS, comp. 9/9, 77-78​

 

[Wannabedrgreyy]

How many more interview dates you think? I was complete early August and worried

 

[i_dont_understand]

Are all of these rejections pre-interview?

 

[Enjaulada]

Is it overly hopefully to think surviving this rejection wave might be a good sign?

 

[DOrocker0930]

REJECTED 🙁 But I knew it was a long shot

Yup, on a Saturday. In fact - I woke up to it!

Edit:
OOS
LizzyM: 75
Complete 7/20

Hey congrats!
I also got an II, which is surprising since my stats are definitely below average for Stanford.
Just curious, were there any dates in November or early December?
I signed up for mid December because that was the only left.

Complete Mid October

Only saw dates in December, nothing was open in January either.. probably just one month open at a time.

They didn't say, but they said it would be a while even January.

The adcom said give or take, 8 weeks after the interview. I interviewed last week, and Arturo said we would probably hear by early/mid jan.

 

[abcdefg1234567]

Damn, I was hoping first round of decisions would go out this Friday

 

[Ibeenjammin]

i'm sorry homie, stats if you don't mind? I'm complete at similar time and scared

Thanks man, but it's all gravy it was a long shot. Around 67 to 75 w or w/o masters gpa

 

[gunsandroes]

Damn, I was hoping first round of decisions would go out this Friday

Curious.. Why this Friday specifically?

 

[abcdefg1234567]

Because I saw that the past few years that the first decisions came out the Friday before Thanksgiving week for people who interviewed earliest

Ah thanks! That's terrifying but also good to know!

 

[abcdefg1234567]

Ah thanks! That's terrifying but also good to know!

The only reason why it might be different this year though is that the earliest interview date was kind of late (10/07)

 

[i_dont_understand]

On their page it seems to say even earliest admissions won't be until Jan
