2019-2020 Stanford

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Any KH applicants get an interview yet?
 
For others who interviewed in September, did the update tab on your portal disappear too? Does this mean an R?
 
Am I right in assuming that the traditional interview is closed file?

Actually: For anyone that did the video-- I've already got mine but I was wondering if you were open to sharing what you did it on? I'm curious to see which way people went with it.

Stanfords financial aid website is confusing with this quarter system thing. Curious if anyone know Stanford ‘s COA without aid?

Oh I know. To be honest, every time I look at a med school price I get sticker shock lol.

Raw $ numbers for tuition are very misleading due to how tuition is structured. Average graduating debt (at least the last time I looked up the numbers) is < 100k for the entire degree.

Medscholars and TAing is also a lot of money and easy to get. I made about 40 grand between TAing and medscholars research during MS1-MS2 for reference.

Tuition drops to 20% after 12 full quarters (if you finish in 4 years, this is 3q tuition MS1, 4q tuition MS2-3, then only 1q of full tuition during MS4). Splitting or doing a research year (finish in 5 years) should also work out to be cost neutral vs. 4 years for the vast majority of people due to this combined with research funding options.

Financial aid is incredibly good and makes CoA super difficult to gauge until you get your financial aid letter as need-based grants of up to 80% tuition are automatically given on an uncapped basis (a good chunk of people on top of this also get 100% tuition or 100% tuition + stipend need-based grants, but these are case by case).

On campus housing is also heavily subsidized - $1300/month including all utilities if you live with 1 roommate (typical 2-bedroom / 1 bathroom apartment). Most people stay in the on campus housing, but if you need to live off-campus, living costs will almost definitely be much higher.

This was an amazingly helpful response, thank you-- if only to help ease my mind a little bit lol.
 
Hey everyone! To those who have interviewed and requested a student host, how far in advance did you hear back about your placement? I’m interviewing in January and haven’t heard anything yet, but I imagine it’s too soon to follow up about an assignment

Congrats!! I suspect KH probably likes you. What are the available dates or when have you been scheduled to interview?
 
For anybody who interviewed recently, did they give a better timeframe of when we would get decisions? I just heard "January to March" a few months ago.
 
Hi all! I received an interview invite for the Berg Scholars program, but am currently holding two MSTP acceptances. Can anyone clarify the Berg funding? Do you pay tuition for years 1+2?

You can contact the program directly for more specifics but the broad overview is this:

You pay whatever ur financial aid package dictates for M1, M2. Berg scholars are required to split the curriculum so you will do M2 over two years during which you will receive 50% Med Scholars funding during the Autumn/Winter/Spring quarters and 100% during the summer quarters (both between M1-M2 and M2 and M3). Then you’ll have a fulltime research year starting in M4 which is covered 100% tuition+fees+stipend and that funding level will continue until you graduate (M6).

So, ignoring whatever is in your financial aid package you will be expected to pay the equivalent of M1 and M2s tuition + fees.
 
Congrats on those who recently got II's! When are they currently scheduling interviews for?

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the last batch of II went out to Knight-Hennessy applicants this past Saturday. Everyone I have talked to that received an II recently were all scheduled for the same day in mid February (the date was chosen for us) relatively close to the immersion weekend for the KH program.

They sent out all of the KH-MD II's in one go? Obviously hoping beyond hope that you're wrong lol but if they were going to do that, I wonder why they say that they'll send out decisions Jan. 15th. I can't imagine that anyone is giving up that II

It may not be all the II or can also be those who did make the KH cut... No way to know for sure. Keep the hope!

The 15th is only for KH decision not MD ii
