I haven’t gotten one… Did you?

[JPace24]

did anyone get a background check email

Just received the background check email - I think it can be for any school that is actively considering us

 

[IDK3912]

Do you mind sharing what the email said?

Yes! Best of luck! Though getting the video assessment doesn't mean we def have an A, it just means we are not rejected but could be on the WL

for what the MD program? are you saying if we move onto next stage we are guaranteed not Rejected from Stanford MD?

Good luck to you too!

I have received one too. It's pretty straightforward to do.

For MD. Yea just not rejection but could be WL. Best of luck to you. KH+Stanford Med is way too lit

That's amazing if true, praying we hear back starting tmmrw or day after!

Yoo I just got my KHS invite for the video! Hope this means good things for next week XD. You said either a WL or A right.

 

[anonuser1]

+1 KHS video invite, MSTP applicant!

never got a certiphi email i might be cooked chat

 

[BlueBirdPinkMint]

never got a certiphi email i might be cooked chat

I thought we got certiphi email because I was offered acceptance by another school. Don't read too much into it my friend 🙂

apparently people got the email and stanford was their only interview that uses it…i still might just be too neurotic lol

how do we know which school uses it if we already have a few acceptances?

 

[samplam]

i don’t think you get to know, the email and website have no indication on which school requested it

same for me :|

 

[BlueBirdPinkMint]

Certifi website listed schools that use it, and it includes a school that I was accepted to, so I don’t think Stanford was behind that email🫢

 

[vex10]

sounds good, I'm hoping for good news for us all in 7 days haha 😀

 

[APathologicalLymphocyte]

Has anyone MSTP gotten it? They said it wouldn't be til at least mid-february we heard back unless MD rejected us.

 

[anonymooseee]

with all this detective work we’re doing perhaps the fbi is where we should be applying

one week left….

 

[blonolo]

I did, but it could also have been from another school I was accepted to. My update tab in the Stanford portal is gone though, so I’m guessing the MD side has made a decision.

 

[morak]

I just got jump scared by a spam caller from Sonoma, CA lmao

Does the update tab disappearing mean they've made a decision?

Doesn't the update tab always disappear after 10 days of your interview?

 

[morak]

this is what I thought too

 

[blonolo]

Does the update tab disappearing mean they've made a decision?

That’s what I assumed from previous years’ threads. My update tab was there until mid-December (interviewed mid-Nov).

 

[samplam]

My update tab disappeared at least ten days after

 

[redrevenant4]

I’m MSTP and I did as well. I’m assuming it’s from another acceptance of mine though, so I’m not going to read anything into it.

 

[vex10]

Does the update tab disappearing mean they've made a decision?

Yes, most likely, mine disappeared 2 weeks after my sept. interview LOL.

I concur

I thought the same thing too as I got the email like a week after I got an A at another school that also uses Certiphi.

If one still has the update button is that bad or neutral? Do R's update button disappear too?

When did you interview?

 

[APathologicalLymphocyte]

When did you interview?

December but I was a very late cycle secondary applicant

 

[samplam]

Early December but I was a very late cycle secondary applicant (October)

Tbh I have no idea 🤷‍♂️ But I don’t think you’ll get your decision during the first wave anyway based on previous cycles. Good luck!

I also still have it, just checked.

It should disappear after your 10 day post-interview window has closed.

Oops it had not disappeared for me😨 it’s been about a month

 

[Central6245]

It could have been that your timeline overlapped with winter break, and so no one updated the portals. Should probably change in the next couple days.

 

[healthcarebosse]

i also have my tab but interviewed in december

 

[vex10]

Oops it had not disappeared for me😨 it’s been about a month

they went on break till Jan 4th so it probably will in next 2 weeks.

 

[JPace24]
