Stanford Interviewees: January Notification?

Med School Insiders
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I vote for the person who called last time. He/she obviously has the courage and fortitude that we lack.
 
its gonna be great when someone finally posts that "GARCIA IS CALLING NOW" and i don't get a call and i climb into my bed and watch cops for 6 hours straight thinking about how much i must suck
 
not it-- too scared to do it too!

maybe someone with a blocked number could do it! ha
 
someone said that the admissions committee meets on thursday night... does anyone know if this is true? ... tryin to figure out if i should stop worrying everytime i get a phone call... haha

I know that they meet on Thursdays. In fact, I know that they meet today.

I do not know what time of day they meet.
 
how do you know that they meet thursday? did they tell you at your interview?

sorry for the many questions

At our interview, they said that the adcoms were on Thursday. They told us that we should hear on the 4th (the first adcom), or at the latest on the 11th (the date of the second adcom). I was at one of the first interview dates.
 
sweet! did they also mention the phone call too?

once again, sorry for the questions 🙂

They said there would be a phone call for acceptances. However, this information may turn out to be inaccurate, given that nobody got a call last week.

I'll still be very anxious tonight and tomorrow.

i wonder if they take time zones into account if/when they call
 
I just wish they hadn't told us anything at the interview. That way I wouldn't have been on the edge of my seat for a call every day. Sad Towelie.... 🙁
 
does anyone know if last week (jan 4th) was the first adcom meeting of the year? also, when did you guys interview? i interviewed in mid-dec, so i think there's no chance of finding out tonight...
 
do you guys think they will call tonight or tomorrow morning? They make evening calls?

They told us at the interview that they would call in the evening. However, much of what they told us seems to have been inaccurate. So who knows...

we also thought that they would call a week ago, but that turned out to be wrong!! so right now i dont know what to expect...
 
I would not expect a call tonight. We have no clue for sure if they have even had an adcom meeting or not, and whether or not they will call if they did. They said at the interview that we would hear on the 4th, and that didn't happen. I wouldn't get my hopes up about hearing tonight... it's already almost 9:30 on the east coast.🙁
 
See, as I remember it, they told us we would find out "mid-January"... and obviously the 4th isn't the middle of Jan. I interviewed early Nov. Maybe they are letting us know after the 15th like a lot of other schools.

They told us, specifically, "if you get in you will hear Jan 4th, or at the very latest Jan. 11th." Yet nobody has heard...

i faintly remember the same thing. if someone on SDN doesnt hear tonight, which i doubt, i think its probably safe to assume that the adcom has not met yet/ or has not decided. maybe if i have some free time i will give the office a call tomorrow.

as towelie said earlier, i wish that they had never told us anything in the first place...

Jan. 11th is almost done and we haven't heard... 🙁
 
Does anyone know when people heard last year?
 
Maybe next week then 😀

I just wish they hadn't told us it would be earlier. 🙄
 
shhh, don't say that. It'll be this week.

Shun the nonbeliever. shuuuuunnnn!!
 
Hi all,

From what I know, today was the first day the AdCom met (not on the 4th), and phone calls have been going out tonight. Good luck to all!

i am ready to call bs on this.
 
Hi guys,

I don't want to mislead you in any way, but I do know someone who got a call a couple hours ago. I don't know how many calls they're making this time, or how the entire process works at Stanford. But I can't imagine that they have gone through ALL the applications yet, so have hope! :luck:

Good luck all! 🙂

Can anyone else verify this? I find it strange that not one person on SDN or mdapps was contacted, nor were the 2 people I know who interviewed there early (3 including yours truly). Maybe they are waiting until today to call the east coasters 😀

I really wish admissions would just send us an email and let us know what's going on.

are you all east coasters? chimoso, where was the friend who got the call located?

I figure west coast, given how late the last post would be on the east.

Last year, east coasters often heard on Fridays, not Thursdays.

Although I'm absolutely dying to hear from them, I don't have the guts to call and ask what's up. For now, I'll just pray to hear from them sometime soon...
 
Hello everyone,
I spoke with the admissions office and this is what they informed me:

-The admissions commitee met for the first time last night. They meet on a weekly basis and only get through about 20-30 applications at a time.

-Dr. Garcia's phone calls are made in addition to the written acceptance as a courtesy, but not everybody gets one (or so it seems).

-The earlier you interviewed-the earlier you may be notified (might be somewhat common sense, but it's nice to hear from the office).

Well, I hope this helps!

🙂
 
Ok so I got the guts to call... reached some lady, asked when the first batch of acceptances will be released... and she goes "it takes a couple of weeks". What does that even mean?!?! So I clarified my question, she asked what my last name starts with, then redirected me to a voicemail box.

So... ya, I guess I'm never ever calling again lol.
 
Yay, at least one of us got some answers!!!!
