2016-2017 Stanford University Application Thread

[gunsandroes]

Congrats to all those who were accepted and I'm sorry about those who were waitlisted, but like chemj said, since you interviewed at Stanford, I'm sure you'll have great choices this cycle.

For those who were accepted, we don't have to do anything until April 30, right? We can technically hold our acceptance without paying the $100 deposit until then? This is the first school for me that doesn't require a response of some sort within a few weeks, so a bit confused..

hi everyone! for those that were accepted, did you send a letter of update or letter of intent? just curious to see if it made a difference, thank you!

Howdy! No decision for me yet, but the admissions officers were pretty clear on my interview day that LOIs (intent or interest) have no impact on the admissions outcome.

Can u still send one if you have updates?

If I interviewed in mid-January when should I hear back?

 

[calimed2017]

Waitlisted Interviewed 12/10. Anyone know what percent typically get off the waitlist?

we were told typically there isn't much movement in the waitlist for the past few years

 

[tenerifesea]

Does anyone know if Stanford is still interviewing more applicants? I'm just trying to see if their interview season has ended and when decisions might be rolling out... thanks!

 

[OlemaOwl]

If I interviewed in mid-January when should I hear back?

I interviewed early Jan. and they said we would hear back around the end of Feb., so I wouldn't expect to hear back before then. I bet the January interviewees will most likely hear in early March given the trend that decisions come out a little later than we were told. Just a guess.

Got a phone call last night I'm absolutely over the moon. Interviewed mid/late December. Best of luck, everyone!!

Had they sent you an email a few weeks ago telling you that you may not hear back until March?

Also interviewed the same time and didn't get a call. Awkward.
Fearful actually

Hope to be over the moon with you too. I hear it's nice up there. ☺️

Does anyone know the # of people waitlisted at Stanford/ the amount of potential movement off the waitlist?

Was told very little -- they over-admitted last year

 

[calimed2017]

Was told very little -- they over-admitted last year

same here. they said they haven't used the waitlisted for a couple of years now

 

[calimed2017]

Are all admissions now on a rolling basis? like when they review your app they will notify you? Is there an incoming class profile available online?

 

[OlemaOwl]

Has anyone who interviewed in January heard back yet? Sigh... I should be patient.... just thought I'd ask

Have you heard anything since? I also interviewed mid/late December and still haven't heard anything either...

 

[sxullf]

Accepted! Really happy!!

 

[milkyway92]

Accepted! Really happy!!

Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, when did you interview/how did you hear?

 

[sxullf]

Thanks! Early Jan. Got phone call this morning.

Nope,
Haven't heard and I emailed. Response was that I will hear back by march 15th. Since people in Jan are getting accepted and wait listed, I'm guessing they're just undecided with us hence no response. Though I would so much rather know now. as there are fewer seats at the end, an acceptance is less likely.

Well, it's better than nothing...good luck to you!

Did you happen to interview on or before the 5th?

 

[sxullf]

No. I recall it was after.

 

[MCATbudd]

Waitlisted this morning.

 

[When the Moon Forgot]

Waitlisted this morning. Interviewed in the latter half of December. A bit relieved actually, as I completely bombed the MMI and was expecting an outright rejection.

 

[OlemaOwl]

oof. Sorry to hear about the waitlists! I'm scared it's over for me because I interviewed in early Jan. and looks like they already made the calls. I don't have any acceptances yet... eep!

 

[RIPHarambe]

Same boat here

Hopefully some of these WL turn into offers

 

[sxullf]

Got the call last Friday and received the admission letter via email today. It is happening! Sooo happy!

 

[OlemaOwl]

[calimed2017]

I feel the same way. An acceptance here would be a dream come true!

 

[calimed2017]

[OlemaOwl]

Anyone know if there's a fb group for the potential class?

Nope, no schedule. Yeah, they're pretty bad about answering calls haha
