This wave seemed particularly brutal and I can’t recall a similar wave at any school (based on sdn threads) besides towards the end of the cycle

Yeah, I also applied for the KH Scholarship so that probably just delayed the inevitable.

Are you guys getting these Rs now? It seems awfully late (EST-wise) to be sending out that :/
+2 also cannot access secondary portal anymore after getting R
didn’t get the email but can’t access the portal lol
+3 they were QUICK with that deactivation lmao
89?!?! Is that 528/4.0

Pre-II Rejection. LM 81, really confused about Stanford's criteria...

The great Stanford culling, glad I could contribute to it!

Everyone I know with a Stanford II (4 people so not much lol but still) have entrepreneurship on the app.
One is an ORM with a 515/3.9x, so I think it actually matters.

It includes both, and related to health(care). Don't take my word as some sort of mantra though, many people run/own orgs/businesses and get R's. I would think if you have some sort of clear traction (funding, accelerators, launch programs, etc.) that would help.
As a person who's apps underlying theme is entrepreneurship - this makes the R hurt a little worse. But its okay! I just wouldn't say its the key to getting an II.

Maybe not necessary nor sufficient. But Stanford does send the largest % of students by a large margain (relative to other medical schools) to non-residency fields aka business/tech/fin/etc. so it makes sense. But no idea how strongly it's enforced during admissions if at all.
Was able to login. forgot password so thought it was a rejection

Pre II R they’ve definitely gotten every killstreak by now
Got an early II. I have 0 entrepreneurship or tech on my application. People say I have a very strong social justice theme (I like helping out my community but I'm far from an SJW). I do have extensive research (4 Pubs) and wrote about an interest in business in my essays though. Just writing this to make your n=5

Yeah I mean sounds like my app (URM, strong stats and research) and you have roughly same II's as me which is funny. I feel like not worth using us as samples since it's not really applicable. My other n's were ORM. Most schools interview our cohort just because there's a very limited size and they gotta fill their LCME accreditation requirements...lol

I don't have any entrepreneurship nor publications and I still got a II (somehow!) so there is hope for all y'all out there without these things
Valid point. High Stat URMs are a statistical anomaly.
Yup, I had non-profit entrepreneurship on my app and still got an R. That said, my role in the non-profit startup was rather moderate and I left after 6 months. Two IIs from peer institutions though, so hopefully just something Stanford values more than other T5 schools.

Yup. Stanford Harvard and UCSF seem to care a lot more about personality/ECs/broader impact than WashU, JHU, or Columbia. etc. pretty clear from the stat distribution...-~5 or more MCAT points for the former 3 schools' lower quartiles relative to the latter. Probably why it's so damn hard to get an II/A.
II today, I am shocked and super excited! Completed 9/8 LM 76 Looks like interviews are out until December
Avoided this R wave so far...
Saaaaame 😅

Did either of you also apply for the KH scholarship? I was also complete 7/26 with an LM of 76. The process might just be random though so I guess there's no point digging too much into it.

I'm in the same boat, complete 7/19 and applied KH in late September

I was complete early July with no KH and have not heard back. They still might be reviewing the two as separate piles though
Just wanted to add that I also had 0 entrepreneurship or publications and I interviewed here. Just because other people that do have these things are getting rejected does not mean your chances are low! Heads up, heads up!
Just received II and very humbled. Question for y'all who have gone through the process already - how strict are the photo "passport-style" requirements? Asking because in my current headshot I'm smiling and my shoulders are angled. Is it necessary to spend the extra $15 for a passport photo at the local drugstore?

Congrats! Haven't gone through it myself, but bro it's Stanford. Hire a professional photographer for $150 an hour 😉
Also, when were you complete/stats?
Thanks! Complete 8/10. LM 73 WARS 81. IS ORM.

Can I join you in the eternal silence?
I didn't apply for KH
"Updates to an application will be accepted only after an applicant has been invited to interview. Interview decisions are made based on information submitted in the AMCAS application, Stanford Supplemental Application, and letters of recommendation."
source: How to Apply
If you've interviewed, maybe just send it to the person you interviewed with? Good luck!
