When will Stanford interview invites stop being offered?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Hey SDNers,

So, I know Stanford's been rejecting left and right and trickling out interview invites...but does anyone have any idea how much longer Stanford will be sending out invites? Does Stanford do everything later? Like interview until April instead of March (like most top 10 schools)?

Just wondering...haven't been able to find much using the search feature. Thanks much! Happy MLK day!

I feel your frustration! I have been complete for months and I have not heard anything! :(

lis79, I see that you posted a rejection from U Mich. How did they let you know? I have been waiting to hear back from them since July post-secondary. I know it's a rejection, but I really want to see it in writing or on the status page.

On the Stanford issue, I have been complete since late September. No word whatsoever.

I found out from their status page and received their official rejection in the mail. I submitted my application in November and found out the first week of January, so maybe you still have a shot for an interview. Good Luck! :thumbup:

I doubt that. It's more likely that they don't want to waste a stamp on me. ;) Thanks though. Hope we all get Stanford interviews. :D

Apparently they'll be sending out interview invites for another 5 weeks or so...at least that's what someone in the admissions office told me.

I called this morning to find out if my application is still active, and boy were they friendly! (haha, j/k)

They are sending out a "pile" of rejection letters today, and they will be interviewing until the end of March, so invites will be sent until the end of February or so.

:)Treg

(waiting for the rejection letter...)

Shoot. I have successfully evaded two rounds of rejections. I don't know if my stats are good enough to survive a third! :scared:

That's how I'm starting to feel. But you know what? I'd rather know! And it seems like, one way or another, the overwhelming majority of us should hear from Stanford within the month. That makes me scared and happy. Happily scared, I guess. *sigh*

I want to know, too. But I only want to hear IF I get good news from UCLA or UCSF to offset the bad news. ;)

Does anyone know of any minority students getting interviews? I know that Stanford has a separate committee for that, which might be where my application is sitting...

Cheers, Treg

(no flames please!)

Hey Treg,

One of my really good friends is a minority, ridiculously cool and ridiculously qualified - and she's gotten interviews practically EVERYWHERE. But, she's still waiting to hear from Stanford. If she hears something, I'll be certain to let you know. You're obviously a stellar applicant though, Stanford would be nutso to let you go!

I have a quick question for those lucky few who have received Stanford invites: At what time did you get your e-mail invitation? Morning? Afternoon?

Just curious :rolleyes:
