Throwitaway Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 For those that may or may not be as neurotic as I - I think this is how they are doing their admissions (I'm sure some other programs may be following a similar paradigm): Overarching theory: Stanford puts everyone on a spectrum, from the most likely they would send an invite to the least likely they would send an invite. In the beginning, everyone that was furthest on the least likely portion of the spectrum received rejection notices (these occurred between late June and August). Everyone that was furthest on the most likely side started getting invites in late August. Starting in August, for every few interview invites they send out and get accepted, they reject a few on the other side of the spectrum. They do this because in case anything catastrophic occurred - such as all of their "top" applicants rejecting the invite - Stanford would then have more to pull from. This is the case as opposed to rejecting all people at once, or sending out all invites at once. I am almost certain they use a spectrum-based system like above but the method to which they use it may be off. A couple of postulations though: 1. They could have most interview candidates just clustered on one end, in no order of who they like best, but rather something like alphabetical order by last name or order of proximity (i.e. those furthest away from Stanford are sent out invites to approximate for flight booking, etc. 2. There is absolutely no order to it other than they put people in a bowl of who they want to give invites and a few per day are chosen at random. Long story short, this is all just systematic and in accordance to what STANFORD is looking for. Please don't get too discouraged with a rejection. Plenty of other programs prioritize other qualities over research experience and academic scores. Those that have not heard anything yet - if you find that time is running thin for flight booking, etc or conflicts with other interviews - maybe try to get a better idea of if there is a system to when they send out invites by asking questions to those that got invites (i.e. Any one with last names R-Z? Or based far away from Stanford / California). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCM5326 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I also received one for October 19th - 20th on Thursday (September 6th). I would be interested in meeting up with people beforehand if anyone else is. I plan on getting in Thursday afternoon, as I am coming from out of town.

KatherineLee Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Congrats to everyone who received an interview! I will be applying next year and was wondering if those that received an interview can comment on if they took organic with or without a lab and if they took biochem? Also, wondering when everyone submitted their app that has received an interview so far? THANKS GUYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
