Interviewed in early october... do you guys think they already admitted all the earlier interviewers?

No. The first batch just seemed like a mix of Oct-Jan interviews. They don’t even appear to be moving chronologically

Don't they have two more waves of acceptances tho?
 
Rejected Pre-II. Expected but still stung. I guess I’ll try again for residency lol

Confused and frustrated that I haven't been rejected pre II. I can't imagine there are any interview seats left, and even if I got one I don't stand a chance as a low stat applicant this late in the cycle. Set me free, Stanford!

You don't really mean that. What you are indirectly saying is "please give me an interview this late in the cycle". Let's be honest here, getting a pre-interview rejection would suck at this point and by avoiding the recent waves of rejection means the admission committee deems you worthy of matriculation.

Thanks but I meant what I said! No one from my undergrad has gotten into Stanford since 2010 ish- I absolutely will not be the first. If I got an II, I'd be thrilled- I'd immediately stretch my already tight finances for a last minute flight, have to lie to my boss about why I needed a day off, and lose a day of pay. And then I'd almost certainly put on a never-ending waitlist, stringing out my hopes through the summer.

If I withdrew right now, I'd always be wondering "what if". I especially can't do it because even though I've interviewed a few places, I don't have an acceptance. So yes- I absolutely would welcome the clarity of a rejection right now!

I have a good enough story to be interesting and bad enough stats to ever be a viable option for Stanford ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One of my advisees who does not go on SDN got a secondary, but for some reason was never able to actually submit it due to some bug or issue in the system. The person tried calling and emailing Stanford multiple times, but never got a helpful response from ADCOM office, and finally gave up trying. They got a R today, which of course was no surprise. Of note, applicant is lifelong east coaster who got good number of east coast T20 interviews, but no CA IIs.
 
have there been no post-II Rs/WLs? Last year those started dripping out ~1 week after the initial A wave.

pure speculation, but for a class of ~90, wouldn't they probably accept at least 150 or something? 20 out of 50 (first wave being one third of total) acceptees posting on SDN does not seem that unlikely to me lol

Stanford finally pulled the plug on me pre-II on Fri 2/15. I was really hoping to be able to return to my alma matter for med school, and was encouraged by my survival of many rejection waves. Congrats to those who are accepted and still in the running - Stanford is an amazing place.

Yeah thats what I fear happened
 
They're probably just updating the portal for the admitted students like they did last year. update application button might've just been an unforeseen casualty and should be back soon hopefully

Is anyone else still in Pre-II limbo here? Legitimately unsure if they received my app.

Has anyone received an email detailing how to confirm admission and the next steps yet? It’s been 1.5 weeks since I’ve received the call
 
Accepted but Stanford isn't listed on the choose your med school tool on AMCAS. Is that the case for others?

I'm not accepted, but I find it strange that they haven't officially accepted people through AMCAS yet. I figured they wanted to take advantage of the choose your med school tool to get a sense of how many spots they need to fill before accepting any more applicants.

MSTP office replied to my email. Pretty quickly too!

They told me that I was definitely accepted so not to worry about that. They were not aware that they were not appearing in the AMCAS “choose your school” page so I guess it’s good I sent that email. Also emails detailing the confirmation will be coming out today or tomorrow!

Traditionally, the current MS1ers will invite accepted applicants to a group to help you guys get oriented and to answer any questions you may have! In the meantime, feel free to get one going if you’d like. Congrats again; I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you this but Stanford is an amazing place.

Not sure if we can join, but maybe they'll invite us soon!

Lol. For the admissions office you press 1 and then 1 again.

Also I posted above what I heard
 
Lol nvm just got an email from the MSTP. No medical school email yet... Stanford still doesn't appear for me in the "choose your own medical school" page
 
Have post-interview rejections been sent out yet to anybody?
 
Got the email! Does anyone know when financial aid award information would come out?
 
Got the email earlier today! Also, Stanford is now available for me on the "Choose your school" tool on AMCAS :)

I spoke to the financial aid office recently, and they told me that they would send an email out with further instructions sometime this week... after that, it takes them a few weeks to put together an official offer. PM me if you have other questions!
 
has anyone interviewing this weekend heard about student hosting yet? :/

Edit: nvm, didn't need to freak out about booking a last minute hotel whew!!
