Any groupchats, facebook groups, or groupmes for stanford accepted students?
nopeAny 2/8 interviewees hear back yet? or have their update tab disappear?
no from me too; not sure if the people who said they were WL from early feb interviews were also from 2/8. when do 2/8 interviewees think they'll send us a decision?nope
I know someone that got in MSTP that interviewed with me on 2/1Any A’s from feb interviewers (2/1 or 2/8)?
+1 update button was there alsoWl today....my update button is still there though...
Did some historic stalking, looks like stanford has a low and variable WL movement from year to year (and even when so it looks like July
Conveniently saw many people put off by the elite/professional culture here, idk if others had similar experiences but interview day was very off putting for me. Not overly hopeful to hear back but we'll see.
Yeah WL here too and its not looking likely for usLooks like the past two years they didn’t take anyone off the WL. ):
I had a publication after hearing about WL so I updated via the Email Admissions Office button in the Communications tab on the portal and they accepted it. Unlikely it moves the needle in any way but it fell under what they considered major updates post-II so I thought it was worth trying.Does Stanford take post WL communications? Don’t want to shoot myself in the foot if not but I can’t find that info on their website or the WL procedures.
I emailed the admissions office about if they accept post-WL communications like a LOI and this was the reply I got a while back, "As mentioned during your interview day, we do strongly encourage only significant updates to your application post-interview."Does Stanford take post WL communications?

The MMI video was definitely stress inducing.Dang, interesting I wasn't the only one that thought that. Got an A but also felt that the elitism was off-putting, especially from a school that was trying so hard to stress "compassion" and "advocacy" throughout their app/interview. I'm probably considering going elsewhere just for that
But then the actual MMI was completely different. Like why? Why tell people to prepare in a way that's not useful? Baffles the mind.The MMI video was definitely stress inducing.
Their interview-prep videos made me lose my mind! I legit bought a bunch of random decorative stuff and created a little interview corner to look super professional and put together (with money I *did not have to spare*), and then got to my interview day to see 80% of people with bare white walls. 😅 And yeahhhh.... hearing them say to research so many current topics in medicine freaked me out so badly. Especially when everyone always says you're not expected to be an expert in your interviews -- they just want to see *how* you think.The MMI video was definitely stress inducing.
There's very little hope, but I'm still hoping lol. I think they take like max 5 and even 0 sometimes.for those on the WL, is anyone holding out hope/what are the actual odds of getting off haha
My understanding is that generally they do not accept any letters or updates, unless it is a major publication or achievement.Does anyone know if Stanford is still accepting Letters of Intent/Update Letters (or if they even do in the first place)?
^^ I sent them a first-author pub and conference presentations, and they made me resend it with only the pub.My understanding is that generally they do not accept any letters or updates, unless it is a major publication or achievement.
omg congrats!! when were you waitlisted?Got a call today about getting off the WL?!?!?! But no email yet so I'm freaking out!!!! this was my dream school going into the cycle so im screaming, crying, throwing up rn waiting for this email to make it feel real LOL
Honestly no idea. FB is difficult to be precise bc people aren’t necessarily leaving the groups once they decide against. But it did say 15 new people joined the group this week (though that wouldn’t make sense given Stanford’s historical waitlist movement). I guess we’ll see.Is it possible to tell from Facebook group how many students have committed to go to Stanford? Are you saying you think 15 people got off waitlist this week at Stanford? When is the Stanford date for accepted students to commit? I am assuming I am not getting off waitlist but it would be good to know when a decision is coming either way.
Me tooI withdrew my acceptance and I believe I was then removed from the FB group (did this happen to anyone else?) so FB, while definitely not 100% accurate, may be at least a little indicative of something
Very true. Either way though, the class size is ~90 and currently there are 181 admits in the group… so let’s see.I think it is possible that some people did not join the FB group until after accepting their offer though. Because last week was when people committed, some of the 15 people could just be those who joined FB group late as opposed to all being students pulled from the WL.
Could it also be some current students who joined to answer questions, mentorship, etc?Very true. Either way though, the class size is ~90 and currently there are 181 admits in the group… so let’s see.
Potentially? But I deducted the 6 people in the group that are “admins” and those are usually the current students.Could it also be some current students who joined to answer questions, mentorship, etc?
And that very little hope worked haha! Just got off WL today
Any indication, or are we just spitballing? Heard from a few Stanford students that there's a healthy chunk of admits dropping their offers this yearThoughts on this essentially being the last wave of As through the waitlist?
Definitely spitballing (maybe spiraling with worst case scenario in mind) but generally going off of past years’ trends - doesn’t look like there’s been movement past mid May. Definitely none in June. But I agree! Have heard that there’s a decent number of admits giving up their seats.Any indication, or are we just spitballing?

One thing to keep in mind about SDN threads and waitlists is that the actual number of spots given is likely greater for a number of reasonsDefinitely spitballing (maybe spiraling with worst case scenario in mind) but generally going off of past years’ trends - doesn’t look like there’s been movement past mid May.

1.Can I ask what the 2 additional questions were on the secondaries for the Stanford PSTP program please?
Wait what did this button previously do? I was waitlisted via email and never bothered checking the portal after the fact.is anyone else's "waitlist offer" logging you out of your account when you click on it?
This was where you clicked accept or decline for the waitlist offerWait what did this button previously do? I was waitlisted via email and never bothered checking the portal after the fact.
Yes, just tried it and it's the same for me toois anyone else's "waitlist offer" logging you out of your account when you click on it?
