Just a heads up, I emailed them and they don't seem to be receptive lol.

Not yet. I was rejected from MSTP in the first week of September.
confused about the silence...would’ve expected the axe by now
This silence is killing me! (anyone received a II recently?)
Lol I was rejected for mstp October, but have not heard back from regular M.D. I feel like the regular M.D. is still a good fit for those into academic medicine and research.
Rejection received today. Can't be too mad because it was indeed a reach. LM 70-75. OOS. URM. Non-trad. App complete September 1.

Rejected today, best of luck to all! (3.43|526|complete July)
I’m convinced they have somehow lost my application. My day for rejection will come...

Me too. Heard they do silent rejections so it's quite possible we're in that pile.
II last week, complete mid-September. LizzyM ~74

getting paranoid about not getting invited to fill out the secondary but getting a warning email about how it was getting late... ended up just going to the portal myself to submit it but I'm kind of afraid that I might not receive communication from them - good or bad
Huh? Stanford sends out secondaries to everyone. If you haven't received one, then it's a good thing you just submitted it on the portal because it was most likely a glitch.
I recommend calling them and making sure everything is fine.
Oh that's good to hear---was starting to think I wasted the application fee! (or pulled an Einstein) Good idea, will do!
Rejected this morning via email.
+1 (LM mid 70s, complete August)
+2. Glad to see we're finally on the same page about my qualifications, Stanford.
Best of luck to those still in it!
+3 finally got the axe! Probably didn’t have the time, funds, or motivation to make the trip at this point anyway!
Rejected! *shrugs* Worry not, they're making their way to us low stat folks. 😏 Completed in mid-July.
+4 got hit with that R email a few hours ago. LizzyM 80 complete mid August. Good luck everyone else!

Anyone complete in July and haven't heard?
Me, but LM 70. Low MCAT. ORM. Expecting the news to reach me any day.
From last year's thread Stanford did appear to make their way through the extreme high stat applicants by December (both for II and pre-II rejections), and then get to regular high stat applicants from January to March (for II and pre-II rejections) with some exceptions throughout.
Here's keeping hope alive for 2018!

Rejected yesterday pre II
You seem to be right about the trend of high stat rejections. There are only 16 responses from the Stanford rejection survey, but the average MCAT score for those responses is 520. 80 percent of those respondents had a 3.8-4.0 GPA, and the other 20 percent had a 3.6-3.79 sGPA.
Here is a link to view the Stanford-specific results. Stanford 2018 Rejection survey
Could be selection bias though.
Any KH applicants receive rejections lately?
We hear back tomorrow about KH I think
Rejections from Stanford is what I meant. Apparently a few have already heard back from Stanford yes or no.
I mean you'll find out today if KH offers you an interview. If they do, then you're pretty much guaranteed a Stanford med interview. Hopefully this whole process is clearer by the end of the day.
Got an II this morning!!!! KH applicant. My interview date is right before the projected time for the scholarship meeting.. haven't received any information from KH directly, but this may mean that they plan on piggy backing the two events together.
They didn't offer you days, they just said "this will be your date" ?
update us if u get the KH invite!
Will do! I was expecting to hear from KH first to be honest, so this kind of took me by surprise.
Congrats man! Sounds like you're in for good news from KH as well! Go kill it!
