2020-2021 Stanford

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I’ve heard it’s pretty variable year to year. Some years there’s been reports of zero, some years as many as fifty.
 
Saw two more people joined the Facebook group, so the waitlist is moving already?
 
Really hoping someone hears something soon bc I have to CTE elsewhere by Friday 🥺 never expected to be WL here!
 
Hey everyone not to be a party pooper, but I emailed admissions today and they told me that "at this point, we are unlikely to go to the waitlist". So I'm not sure how likely that is to change as the days go on but as of now it seems like they arent going to pull people off of the WL

Ah I really hope you’re messing with us. My hearts shattered in so many pieces. Has it ever happened that they wouldn’t take off the waitlist?

I’m shocked… how can they take no one off the WL 🙁

Perhaps the yield is significantly higher than it usually is. I was actually expecting it to potentially be a bit worse than usual because of COVID, but the opposite might also have happened unfortunately.
 
Lol, I wish I was messing w you. I heard some years they take 50ppl some years none at all. He did say "at this point" which means It is also possible that it is just too early for movement right now and there will be some later on, like in June? Imma just take it as an R at this point and move on w my life tho.
 
Thanks for emailing, Baker4life. I kind of expected that response given how quiet it's been on this forum. Who knows, maybe there will be some movement later this month or June. Now time to for me to shoot for that Stanford residency 😁
 
Anyone still waiting? Perhaps this is just going to be a slow trickle of Rs until a massive wave?
 
WL -> R.

Just to confirm (someone basically already posted about this), someone I know who has connections to Stanford Med admissions said that Stanford accepted a good amount of people this year in anticipation of many of them not committing, but a lot of them ended up accepting the offer. So there's no need to go to the waitlist this year, pretty much. Although if that's true why not just reject all of the waitlisted applicants right off the bat? The waiting game sucks 😕
 
If you were waitlisted then rejected for Stanford PSTP and MD programs, will they take this into consideration if I apply there for residency/masters programs (for research) ?

doubt it; very much doubt med school admissions really talks to any of the individual departments or residency programs unless you did something really crazy like rant about jews or something at your interview
