Heard from a rumor that Stanfords MMI scoring that they drop the lowest station, is that true or is it an avg of stations or just no information on this out there

My button just went away, Jan 6 interview. Anyone else wanna share how long from button disappearance to decision lol
Last year, there was someone who had their button disappear weeks before receiving their acceptance, so YMMV.
This is purely speculation, but the review process might go like this:
1. Admissions reviews our files semi-chronologically or according to their own scoring criteria
2. The update button disappears once they start reviewing the file
3. They place us on the staircase analogy -> if you are a very strong candidate, they accept quicker; if you are a candidate who needs further consideration, they compare you with later candidates (hence the different lengths between button disappearance to decision)
4. We either get A, WL, or R
Again, this is purely a guess, so take it with a grain of salt

Reading through the forum there’s a pattern of people talking about their buttons going away and then a wave of decisions, but it’s hard to track how closely they correlate for individuals.
Also I know this is so silly to try to read the tea leaves on lol but hey what else can we do

Hoping for some more decisions to roll-out today 🙂

I was so sure we’d hear today lol 😭
Anyone have any idea if a published abstract (+ its subsequent submitted co-first author paper, but that hasn't been accepted yet?) + a new leadership position is worth sending an update letter for? I mentioned these in the interview but keep going back & forth on whether we're supposed to upload this on the portal also... any guidance would be so so appreciated as my 2 week window is running out. Tysm!!

Nope. I was notified last Monday.

I received WL last Monday too. And I feel like Stanford basically waitlists everyone, very few people report being rejected.
Update button gone 1/11 interview
Alhamdullilah I got in🙂 call at 3 that I missed

Have heard they don't like/are indiff but this comes from word of mouth. idk if Admissions committee has ever said official stance

I think they only want/accept the 3 update criteria in the update tab before making a decision. I think if you have heard back and are on the WL it probably doesn't hurt.

Waitlisted 5pm EST, Interviewed 9/9, PSTP Applicant 🙁, was sort of expecting this after waiting for so long

Waitlisted today as well. Interviewed early January, PSTP as well. Incredibly sad 😔
For those waitlisted, did you get a call or was it an email? Also, there might still be a chance!

When do we think the last set of decisions are coming out for February interviewers?

Group poll: realistic probability of getting accepted off the waitlist? 2%? Even less?
Assuming anyone not accepted got waitlisted (based on trend history)

Post-Interview Button is gone! Interviewed early Feb
Yeah, also don't know exactly because I didn't check the portal that frequently, but I think my interview update tab disappeared less than 1 week before I got the call 🙂
BTW, was wondering if anyone could speak to the clinical training at Stanford? I have heard some rumors that the clinical education is not as much a strength when compared to peer institutions (although this was heavily rebutted during the interview day), but was wondering if anyone had concrete thoughts about this (what are clerkships like compared to other schools? are they true pass/fail? how have STEP scores been in the past few years?)

Same. after getting slaughtered last week by HMS and others, I'm a shell of an applicant. Would be a happy surprise but not banking on it.

Anyone who has been accepted at Stanford having issues uploading financial aid documents to the AXESS portal? When I try to fill out the supplementary financial aid application I get all these errors in the AXESS Portal.
I did too! Had to email fin aid my docs and they accepted them
