Why is it a sacrifice? There's literally no harm done in asking a simple question about when decisions might come out.

I nominate you to call 😉

We got Julius Fučík's Entry of the Gladiators'd today. Next week then y'all!

Hey, so in today’s interview they mentioned that today’s interviewees may hear back at the end of the month. I think they’re waiting to finish up January interviews, so the first admissions round would probably be on the 29th! Hope this helps reduce tensions🙂

You are a godsend! Do you say the 29th because that is the day of the last interviews?

No problem🙂 Oh I thought the 27th was the last interview day this month. But no, mainly because that’s the last weekday of the month, and I get the vibe that they release decisions on Fridays (not completely sure tho).

Ah ok thanks so much! And btw I have no idea when the last interview is lol. I just assumed incorrectly

On my interview day they said that the last round of PSTP interviews are slated for the first week of Feb, so Stanford’s prob wrapping things up in general

Is anyone sending/has sent thank you notes post-II?

 

[medicinelover11100]

Is anyone sending/has sent thank you notes post-II?

I remember on interview day they said not to send thank you notes post interview. They went on and basically said that the only post interview communication they want is a significant update to your application preferably submitted within 2 weeks after your interview. But someone should confirm this is correct before you act on this advice!

That’s what I heard on my interview day as well!

Yeah that’s what I thought I heard too. It feels strange not sending one in, just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

 

[bobmanhattan314]

This is likely gonna be the week for the first round of acceptances!!!! God speed everyone and may the adcoms be ever in your favor 😇

 

[futuredoc1999108753]

any advice for the interview? Is it actually only 20 mins? Is it conversational ! any advice will help

 

[bananabread99]

Yes, it’s only 20 min. I guess it depends on the interviewer, but mine wasn’t that conversational. My interviewer had read through my app and she wanted to discuss a few specific things from the app

Not sure if this was anyone else's experience, but I got asked a few curveball behavioral/ethical questions. But the majority of it was talking about activities and whatnot so definitely know your application. And I would say practice with being concise in your responses (time yourself when you are giving your "why doctor" or "why Stanford" answers). Just my thoughts!

I did not get any curveballs or behavioral/ethical questions. I will second being efficient with your limited time, though!

Does anyone know how many PSTP applicants received interviews? I remember someone earlier saying PSTP dates extend to end of Jan. Thanks in advance 🙂

 

[futuredoc1999108753]

OK for normal md program if you get a interview what is your chances of getting accepted??

When you say the PSTP, are you referring to the MSTP or the residency? I’m an MSTP applicant.

Hm, there's this program that lasts around 5 years and only grants an MD, but you do more research in your 2nd and 3rd years, and it's called PSTP. I think MSTP is 8 years and is the MD-PhD route. I'm not sure about what residency means ):

Thank you so much for the quick response! That clears a lot up. We will see when I get my mstp decision back..who knows when and how that will be 😂

I just received it too! The “update you on your status” part has me freaking out

 

[k1808h]

OMG I GOT one too?????????

 

[ducks_are _the best]

Did anyone get an invite for a zoom session going over curricular information and update on status? does that mean im likely on an alternate list since it isnt really a call

[deleted1087639]

[pansycheese]

Last week of October

 

[definitely_chondria]

when did you guys interview?

I interviewed in November!
Guys I got this email in lab and now my hands are shaking too much to continue my experiments LOL guess it’s time to go home

 

[pansycheese]

Is the link for today? Let us know how the zoom meeting goes!

It’s for Wednesday afternoon! I can’t attend so let me know how it goes too lol

 

[medicinelover11100]

you think they sent all the emails out at the same time?

 

[prototypeblitz]

Can someone paste the email text in here?

Does Stanford call everyone who’s accepted? I don’t think it would be a flat out R since that would be cruel to do on camera lol. My guess is WL or A, unless they call for As. The curriculum info would only be useful/interesting if we were still in consideration...

 

[saisonmargerrite]

Perhaps it is the acceptance itself? Previous years have had email acceptances and also, why would they go over curricular information for waitlisted candidates hm

 

[Coffee&EM]

Did anyone that interviewed already NOT get that email?

Why would they let the alternates know before the accepted students? I think its an A. Please dont burst my lil bubble. 😢

No email for me 🙁

 

[deleted1087639]

I didn’t...

case western did Skype for both wl and a I think

 

[saisonmargerrite]

I wonder why they can't just be straightforward about this whole ordeal. Why keep students guessing by saying "update on your status" ambiguously....
