Any Stanford Updates?

[Jacobim]

Was anyone been accepted the last few weeks? When did you interview?

I know several people that interviewed mid-January and have not heard anything. Thanks.

i interviewed late january and just got a letter from them ... waitlisted. oh well.

go figure. i got into ucsf out of state, but was waitlisted by stanford. alas. this process is hard to predict!

good luck!

So I am on the "hold - waitlist" for Stanford......

Does anyone remember the admissions people talking about two different wait lists when they interviewed? One was a normal waitlist (I think its the 'hold' one) and then there was a more selective waitlist and if you weren't offered a spot in this year's class, they guaranteed you a spot in the next years class.....ring a bell? what was the list called?

Interviewed 1/22, accepted 2/6, but I think I have made a final decision to attend UCSF and am going to withdraw.

indiemd - You are correct there are two lists. The waitlist and the alternate list. The alternates are accepted first and are guaranteed a spot next year if they don't get in this year.

Trix, How were you notified? By phone? If so, who did you speak with and around what time?

They called me at home at 11:15pm (no that is not a typo), and to be honest with you I don't remember the guys name because I was in shock...I think it was Alex, the Assoc. Dean of Admissions. He was super nice, spoke to me for a while, asked me if I had any questions, told me what to expect, about 2nd look weekend etc.

Stanfurd gave me yet another reason to hate them...rejected post-interview (interviewed early jan.)

Go Bears! Go Bruins!
