hey guys,

wondering how long it took for people who interviewed at stanford in the last month or so to hear back.....and did they call you like they said they would? Do they call you even if you don't get in or get on the waitlist?

I know they said 2-5 weeks, but i'm wondering when i should start counting the days because i have nothing better to do haha.

thanks.
 
Bump please. 🙂

I would count on the five weeks, not the two. It took them about a month to call me. I interviewed in December and heard back mid-January. Good luck!!
 
thanks that's very reassuring !

I interviwed in the middle of Feb and heard back yesterday
 
thanks tifa, hopefully it was good news. I think I interviewed a tad earlier than you, but no news yet. I guess that's bad news 🙁

Any more interview invites or rejections recently? I've been complete since 9/1 and still no word 😕 Does anyone know when they stop sending out invites?
 
Same here. I wish I could just withdraw! Actually, if this were any other school, I would've withdrawn by now. I just want to see if I actually get invited 😳

That's because they didn't start giving out acceptances until Jan 15.
I heard back 2 weeks after my interview, even though they said 3-5. Two of my friends also found out 2 weeks post-interview.
 
I just got an invite to interview at Stanford today. Anyone know whether it'd be ok to go ahead and schedule the interview on the website before getting the letter in the mail? I'm a bit hesitant to call the office as the email specifically says not to call to make arrangements...Thanks! 🙂
 
I don't remember anyone at the interview saying that they would call us to let us know if we are accepted. For those who have heard back positive, did they call you first, before you received their letter of acceptance? I am three painful weeks post interview and can barely stand the wait...help a brotha out Stanford!!

You should definitely try because, as I found out last week, there aren't any left until april, and it's first come first serve

Hey! It's almost the whole 2/13 gang! Nothing here either...hopefully there's no curse on our interview day 😳
 
Does anyone know the ratio of # they interview to # accepted roughly?

I scheduled it on the status page even before I got the e-mail (yes, I was obsessively checking the status page). I don't think there was any problem with this, and I never even got the snail mail invite.

Yes, you will get a call and I heard 4 weeks post-interview, so don't start worrying until after the 5 week mark.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting.
 
Hey 2/13 Gang....all back together again...haha

Hope you are all well. Are we expecting an email, phone call or letter? Waiting sucks... Let me know when you hear something, and I'll do the same.... boooooo!!!! for waiting
 
rgarrig said:
Yeah - where's Tracy?


I JUST registered on this site after I saw these posts. Didn't want to be the only one missing from the 2/13 group! 🙂 And no, I haven't heard anything from Stanford since the interview either...

Hi!! You complete us 😉 Well I feel somewhat better that none of us have heard...(that was until I read HebrewHammer's profile and began to feel completely inferior - wow!) Good Luck to us all! :luck:

what is the URL for that status page?
 
How many interviewees are typically present on any given interview day?? anyone know?.

Three to six.

Three is probably rare--I interviewed before classes had resumed, and that was likely why our group was so small. If you interview on a Wednesday, when no classes are scheduled, you will probably have a tiny interview group as well.
 
I think they accept more like 25% of those interviewed...somebody posted last years numbers for me and of ~5000 apps, they interviewed 485 and accepted about 120 for a class of approx 85. at least we can tell our grandkids we were competitive enough to get invited. gl all.
 
so the invite for an interview is on the status page?

It says:
This site only indicates whether your application is complete and ready for review. No other final decisions are made available online. Please be patient throughout this process.

I wonder when they will stop inviting people
 
Any other 2/14 interviewees checking this thread anxiously (and peeing down their leg in light of rgarrig's post)?

Ernest🙂

BTW, congratulations Bob!
 
Congrats Bob! Is Stanford your top choice?

Heck, I'm a 2/17 interviewee and I just peed down my leg. 😀
 
I thought Stanford reliably accepted people two weeks post interview. Are they behind?

Congrats Bob!!!

I'm so thrilled for you! 🙂 No call for me so I guess i'm out but it's not at all surprising and someone has to keep their eye on Illinois, right? 😉

Good Luck to everyone else!
:luck:
 
Interview: 2/17
Rejection letter: received 3/10

Woot! 😛

Maybe they're making the calls over several nights?

I felt like an ASS talking to the Dean last night - I was so shocked I didn't act very thrilled. I started rambling about how I might not be able to make it to the 2nd Look Weekend. Oh well 🙂

Anyway, I hope you get in, too.

Nope unfortunately no calls for me 🙁 I'll be waiting for my rejection/waitlist letter. But congrats Bob!! I'm glad somebody in our interview group got a call 🙂
 
Do they make acceptances until the very end of the interview season (end of April)? Or do interview for a waitlist spot? Any info would be great.
