HOLY MOLY!! IS II!! Complete 9/2!!!

edit: 3 dates were available spanning late Jan to mid-Feb!

CONGRATSSS!!! Sending you good vibes!

Would you or someone who has the interview tab mind checking how many slots are open for those 3 dates? I know sometimes the portal will show a number of available spots beneath each day! Would help me see if there’s a chance or not 🥺🙏

I appreciate the support!!

Also, the dates on the calendar did not list the # of spots available. Maybe someone who has interviewed already can comment on how many applicants showed up to their interview day so we can try and approximate this info?? Would you happen to remember how many ppl were at your interview day @pablo213??

Ugh I have heard radio silence for both my MD and MD/PhD app 😭 fingers crossed for one more wave in January for the folk like me

I want to say there were around 40-50 people at mine in late September but it's been a while tbh. There was definitely a decent number though. I remember it took a long time to get through the introductions lol.

Has anyone sent a pre-II letter of interest or update? Do they accept these?

They don’t accept those

I just got a new manuscript publication and an accepted poster presentation at an international conference. Since I interviewed late October there's nothing I can do right? It's a significant update but it's way past the two-week mark and I don't want to annoy them :/

That is unfortunate timing 🙁 I'd probably play it safe and hold onto those updates for now. They were pretty clear about deadlines and it may look like you're trying to gain an advantage over other applicants who followed the guidelines. Maybe you could mention it for a future Letter of Intent if anything (I don't know if they accept these -- maybe someone can chime in). But hopefully you won't need to resort to that if you get accepted immediately!

Y'all think they'll start sending KH video prompts this week?

[omskie]

II this morning, complete 8/2. They only had three days available (all Fridays in Feb, the 9th, 16th, and 23rd) when I just went into the portal. Very surprised by this one!

 

[unreallllll]

II about an hour ago, complete 8/11!!!!!

 

[deleted1175672]

II today, complete 9/2!

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

What times did y’all receive the interviews? 🥺

 

[bunnyrabbit2022]

congrats to everyone receiving IIs today! does anyone know if getting an II now (scheduled for feb) means we have very slim chances since its pretty late in the cycle? or do we still have an okay shot if it goes well?

I was wondering the same!

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

I think they have a lot of qualified applicants that they’d be happy to fill their class with and it becomes a matter of building a well rounded class. So I think your unique contributions to that well rounded class cohort will prevail over timing of interview!

 

[fredagain]

do we think november interviewees could hear back in the first wave

 

[luckycharms!]

Was wondering the same thing! Any November/October interviewees not have an update button anymore?

i interviewed early oct and still have itt which is weird 😅 but in previous threads it seemed that oct and nov interviews hear in Jan

 

[Aberjo]

IS ii today! Insane never expected this! This is my first MMI of the cycle and I was wondering the details for stanford's. Any advice?

 

[hollands01]

II yesterday!! Complete 9/3

 

[pablo213]

II yesterday!! Complete 9/3

grats! u in any way related to @Holland ?

 

[hollands01]

grats! u in any way related to @Holland ?

Nope haha

 

[Dragonite7]

do we think november interviewees could hear back in the first wave

A few will, but the majority will be Sept/Oct I think.

 

[additional_classic]

I noticed last year that PSTP heard back a little later. Does everyone here who applied PSTP also still have the button

 

[dj_spore]

Late oct pstp here. Button remains!

 

[jellybean121]

have any KH applicants gotten interviews (especially in yesterday's wave)?

 

[Holland]

I thought PSTP election doesn't really impact outcome?

I saw that some people earlier in the thread were unsure if PSTP was a separate interview process or not. I also applied PSTP and saw no mention of it one way or another in my II email. So I just checked online and found this:

"[Applicants that indicated PSTP] who are accepted into the MD program through the AMCAS portal are automatically accepted into the PSTP. . . Applicants who apply through the traditional MD portal (e.g., who do not select the PSTP option in the application) and who are accepted for MD admission are also eligible to apply for the PSTP after matriculation. PSTP application following matriculation is not competitive, and we strongly encourage students to participate. Stanford PSTP’s guiding philosophy is simple – matriculate to Stanford and know that once you arrive, we will help you determine which of the many paths available will allow you to best reach your full potential as a physician-scientist."

So it looks like there's no separate process/rigorous eval for PSTP, if you're in you're in!

 

[cold_friesMD]

Also curious about this. I have not!

have any KH applicants gotten interviews (especially in yesterday's wave)?

 

[Opuntia]

have any KH applicants gotten interviews (especially in yesterday's wave)?

not me either...anxiously waiting to hear anything!

Edit: looks like based on their email, the video invitations start tomorrow (Jan 5)

 

[omskie]

do we also found out about rejections next week or is that at the end?

 

[additional_classic]

I believe they WL everyone who is not accepted. Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s what I understood from past years discussions!

 

[pablo213]

Anyone get a KHS video invite?

 

[jellybean121]

Anyone get a KHS video invite?

I don't think they start till Jan 5th!! They said they will start Jan 5th in the email we got when we submitted the KH app

 

[pablo213]

I don't think they start till Jan 5th!! They said they will start Jan 5th in the email we got when we submitted the KH app

Ah ok thank you. Been neurotically checking past year threads.

 

[pablo213]

just got invite, anyone know if this is a good indication for decisions?

congrats! I was wondering the same thing. I can only imagine it would be a positive sign, especially since you interviewed back in September. If you don't mind sharing, when did you submit the KHS application? Would be interesting to see if the invites are chronologically based.

 

[poinsettiacoherent]

My interview update disappeared finally. Early Dec interview.

Mine remains. Late October interview… what does it mean!!? 😱😲🤔

 

[additional_classic]

Mine remains. Late October interview… what does it mean!!?

+1 mid Nov interview. Anyone else?

 

[poinsettiacoherent]

+1 mid Nov interview. Anyone else?

May I ask if you applied MD only or PSTP? Just curious!

MD only! Whatever they felt about me, they chose quick lol

 

[additional_classic]

MD only! Whatever they felt about me, they chose quick lol

Best of luck to you!!

 

[additional_classic]

How about you, MD only or PSTP?

PSTP! And you?

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Is the next R wave likely coming next week? I checked cycle track and looks like there was one around January 16th, 2023.

 

[rubybarnard]

Interesting! I don’t think any PSTP on sdn has reported their button being gone yet🫣

mine is gone? interviewed mid nov

 

[fredagain]

Any other mid nov interviewees without an update button?

 

[Glucose9]

Is there any way to demonstrate interest pre-interview invitation? They do not hold office hours or accept a letter of interest do they?

I didn’t get an II from Stanford but I feel for you. 1 hour after I ordered today, DoorDash canceled my order because it “got lost in the system” when I was at work… :/
