NO love from california schools at all.

I don't understand what they are looking for, but apparently I'm not qualified enough even for an interview 😡

(exit self-pity mode)

all the more excuses to party hard during the holidays.

Do you have good looks?

lol :laugh:
 
Stanford discriminates by age.
 
"Stanford University admits students of either sex and any race, color, religion, sexual orientation, or national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the university. It does not discriminate against students on the basis of sex, race, color, handicap, religion, sexual orientation or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other University-administered programs."

I don't see age, boo on them elitists.

I'm sorry about the bad news...but it seems that Stanford will be losing a really good candidate.

Their loss.

We should start a soon-to-be-rejected from Stanford thread, which I will be first on the list of.


I'll be second.
 
Dodged the Stanford bullet for today.

Phew. Me too. Only thing in the mail is the water bill.

Me 3.

I think that the letter maybe got lost coming to my house :scared:
 
there was mail delivery today (Dec. 24)? I thought the 24th was the work holiday (considering Christmas falls on a Saturday)...

That means it's time to check the mail I guess

when was everyone complete? i haven't gotten anything yet but that's b/c i finished the secondary on 11/28 which is very late. i am wondering anyone was complete around the same time.

Sweatybrain, I've gotten my rejection yesterday and I was p-o-ed. But there are a lot of people who are going to make great doctors, and because of my rejection- another person will have an opportunity to become a great doctor at Stanford.
Good luck to everyone who applied to Stanford🙂 It is a great school.
 
ok, so my mail comes to my adress at school, and im not there. im worried im going to come back to multiple rejections in my mail box (probly stanfords). on the UPitt website it says correspondence sent out 12/17, but it wont let me schedual my interview on tehre, so i think that means they rejected me too 🙁.

For upitt, where exactly does it say that?
 
got my stanford rejection yesterday... great xmas present! 🙄

on the website where you filled out the secondary, there is a status page, it says it there. but then there is also a tab to schedual interviews, where it tells me i havent been invited to schedual one.
 
Ignorance is bliss for the time being. I am away from my address where everything is being sent, so no rejection yet... ha ha............. however I sense a rather thin envelope awaits me upon my return.
 
Got my rejection 12/23. To be expected.
 
Just got back to my apartment at school after being at home for a week and yay for me...a stanford rejection. At least I got the bad news the day after Christmas.

Sorry skiracer, you're definitely on your way to acceptance though. I'm in a similar boat, not having heard from the vast majority of the schools I applied to. It's killer! 😎
 
PhotoMD said:
Sorry Khenon 🙁 You'll get in somewhere, and that's all that matters, isn't that so?
Thanks PhotoMD. Yeah, I wasn't the least bit surprised by the Stanford rejection. I'm still in the running with 6 schools, and I just applied to 12 DO schools, so it's not over yet. 🙂 Take care.
 
Nothing in the mail from Stanford today. I'm praying that it's not just because mail takes forever to get to my house.

Me too UCLA. Well... we're practically ready-to-be-rejected brothers. Unless of course you're a girl. Then we're siblings.

Siblings it is. 😉
 
yep, just checked my mailbox after vacation and there is no rejection letter from stanford. Then again, I sent the secondary at the end of November. Wondering if I were to send secondary earlier, would I get reject it earlier also 😕

hey, don't be so pessimistic! every day that you DON'T get a thin envelope from stanford should be giving you more hope!! maybe you and uclagirl will be cardinal classmates for all you know!

then again... who wants to be a tree... :laugh:

If me and UCLA both end up at Stanford, I will buy both of you lunch. You heard it here first.
 
just curious... does NOT getting a rejection right now mean that you WILL get an interview? or does stanfurd play the holding game?

I am inclined to believe that it means you just didn't get an early rejection. No guarantees, I think. If we were guaranteed interviews, we'd have 'em. 😛

I'll hold you to that! I'd love to go to Stanford. 😍

I heard that Stanford does NOT play the holding game. They either reject or interview. I don't know if this is correct, but if it is, it gives me hope because I know that Stanford hasn't really invited many people to interview for this application cycle, so far.
 
Hah, ive been complete at stanford since sept. I think they do play the holding game. im not by my mailbox, im hoping i have no rejection to come home to
 
i live 20 minutes (by car) from stanford and I have not received my rejection letter yet. So i guess the school rejects in batches and my application is in the "jan. rejection" batch.
 
I believe this is the 'rejected from Stanford' thread, not the 'I'll keep posting everyday that I'm not rejected from Stanford' thread. Quit playing the 'I'm so humble' game... Leave us rejects alone to mourn in peace.
(Sorry for the bitterness. That thin envelope just broke my heart...)
 
sorry boardchic........but girl, you got into WashU!!! thats pretty good right? 😍

Thanks for keeping me in check, wends. It's so much better to keep in mind the things to be thankful for, rather than fuming on the things that go wrong. This New England weather just makes me crave a trip out to the west coast... (and I was hoping I would have an excuse to go visit my brother in Berkeley... :laugh: ) Come on, UCSF.... :luck:

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend! 🙁 I'm just trying to hold out hope for staying in CA. I'm sorry if I came across as someone who lacks humility. Trust me, this application process keeps me humble everyday. Good luck to you.

As I go back and read that post... it sounds a little harsher than I meant it to. Sorry for that. I hope that no rejection from Stanford means that an interview invite is on your way! I wish you the best of luck, you've gotten in to some great schools already, right?
I'm also wishing and praying to go to school in CA, but now it's down to just UCSF and UCSD, neither of which are looking too promising... Here's to us both being California sunshine med students next year! 😀

I've gotten into Ohio State and MCW (both of which I loved), but nothing in CA. My CA options are kind of dwindling, too, with a rejection from Davis, holds at UCSD and UCI, and less-than-ideal interviews at UCSF and UCLA (but I refuse to give up hope!). Anyway, good luck with UCSF and UCSD, I hope you get into one of them! 😀

:luck: :luck: :luck: for UCSF and Stanford!
 
I received my Stanford rejection (my very first rejection) on the 24th. Since I wasn't really expecting to get in, I'm not sure why it affected me so much, emotionally.

I really wish Stanford would have considered sending out this first batch of rejections AFTER christmas... they could have spared some of us some pain during the holiday weekend. It was rough trying to be happy and social while feeling disappointed. Oh well. That which doesn't kill you just makes you stronger, they say.

I agree -- Someone should have thought that one through. While they were not my first I rec'd my Stanford rejection on 12/23 and my Case rejection 12/24. Pretty cold.
 
I just got home from vacation, and I am surprised that no Stanford rejection was waiting for me...perhaps it is just slow to cross the border. 😎 Treg
