2017-2018 Stanford University

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Been a crazy few days. Was declined for KH Scholars last week, but was just extended an interview invite from Stanford Med! 🙂 SO excited
Do you remember which days were available?
 
No, they said "BY early March" in my interview date. I think that's a latest. They start giving out acceptances in January.
I was under the impression that they said everyone post-interview would hear a decision at the same time in March?

When I interviewed (in early Nov) they said there would be three batches of decisions between Jan and March, but that our date was still early enough to be able to hear back in the first batch that would go out in mid-Jan. This seems to match what is outlined on their admissions timeline ("January to March: Offers of admission are sent out on three release dates").

Reading the 2016-2017 thread, acceptances started going out around Jan 20th last year.
 
Feeling like I must be on a silent hold. Silence, complete 8/20
 
I've been complete since July! I'm surprised because I feel like my GPA is too low for Stanford... anybody else still in the mix that was complete in July? Does not being rejected mean something?

Omg I just realized where I know that bird in your profile pic from. <3 <3

Don't hug me I'm scared, right?

Feeling the same way - GPA below 3.5 means a virtual guaranteed rejection, but nothing for now. I’m thinking my application is at the very bottom of their pile. I really want a rejection soon if they plan to send one.

Sorry, double post because of cruddy internet connection.
 
Got rejected.

I was just looking at my spam mail because I was bored and, lo and behold, a fresh R from Stanford Med.
 
For those of you with low stats for Stanford (<3.5 & 510) but got II, what did you think in your app granted an II?

Looking for some tips for low-stats applicants to make Stanford reachable.

if you look at MSAR, 10th percentile was 515 MCAT; the lowest MCAT that attended the school was 513. so Stanford doesn't really accept low stat people lol
 
Beginning to think I got rejected here months ago and the email never came through, as was the case with the secondary. Just looking for some closure at this point! Silence since July.
 
Just saw my rejection in spam folder as well that’s been sitting there since 12/24. Early Christmas present 😉 complete in August.
 
Rejected this morning, LizzyM 74.

Best of luck to everyone else still in the running!
 
Q to y'all, I interviewed in the first week of october so don't remember what they said about updates specifically, would a 2nd author abstract be a valid reason to update stanford? I know they aren't the biggest fans of updates haha. thanks everyone!
 
I don’t understand how people are getting rejected, aren’t they closed until next week for holidays?
 
The axe came down in my spam folder this morning. Feeling oddly relieved to have closure!
 
Alright, I give up... axe me
Hahaha, same. Just waiting patiently for the R.

Based on last year, we should get the rejection sometime next week. Since I didn’t see any more invites/rejections after Jan 13 On last year’s thread.

Lol based on the year previous to last year, people were getting interviews in February. This school seems to be a bit random.

Lmao, hopefully it’s just done next week man.
 
California (keep) dreaming! Found a nice, healthy rejection in my spam this morning. Peace and blessings to all still in it!
 
Hello! Can I ask on here why rejections and interview emails are going to spam? Is it their admissions email that’s fishy? I think my email silently censors spam emails, so idk if I got a email yet. Is there a way to check on portal if they tried communicating?

If you got an interview, your portal will have a new "interview" option.
 
Got the pre-II rejection this morning (in my spam box.) Ice cold Stanford sending Rs on a Sunday morning. LM ~75, complete late July. Best of luck to everyone else!
