This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Stanford had an acceptance rate of 1.1%. Of the 8409 applicants, 499 received interviews, and 90 received an acceptance. Of the 8409 applicants, 499 received interviews, and 90 received an acceptance.
Their class size is 90. Last year they received 8998 applications and sent out 156 acceptances. 1.73% isn't much better but ya😀

Welp --- I am glad I donated money to Stanford. 😉
 
super interesting that Stanford doesn't have a gap year prompt... are y'all dropping that info somewhere into another prompt?
 
I submitted my amcas to them today. i haven't received my secondary, do they screen?
They do not pre-screen! Once your app is verified, you will receive one (or they may send it while it is processing).

Okay thank you! Idk I was a bit worried since I added them to AMCAS around noon today, and its now 5 pm...
 
omg Congratulations!! did you expect to get it? Do you think your application was a good mission fit with Stanford?
 
for the "Do you have peer-reviewed publications resulting from scholarly endeavors?" question, does being 3rd author count? like i definitely was a part of it but it isn't really "my" publication lol
 
My assigned interview date from Stanford conflicts with an interview date I had already scheduled for another school. I emailed admissions asking to reschedule, and they refused. Like bruh, cmon.

Do I email the other school and try to get that interview rescheduled?

When did you hear back from them? I have a travel conflict but haven't heard back yet...Did you email or message through the applicant portal?

Bro is suffering from success🤫
 
Adding onto this, how flexible is moving between MD and dual degrees? (e.g., MD/MBA, MD/JD, MD/etc.)
Current Stanford MD student here. This is pretty flexible, have plenty of classmates that have added on an MD/MBA or MD/PhD after matriculating (though I haven't yet heard of an MD/JD.) Basically, you'd apply to the second degree program during either MS1 or MS2 year and typically take time off between MS2 and MS3 years to complete the second degree.
 
Literally the lowest acceptance rate for t10. Am I just doing them charity giving them my app?
just submitted my secondary here, and I already regret it
Super late to this convo but Stanford also likely has a high % of primary applicants who do not finish the secondary — same with Duke, so once you submit the secondary your odds are likely boosted a bit
