Summary
The Stanford University Graduate School Admission results for the past five years reflect a highly competitive environment with diverse outcomes across several programs. Computer Science saw both waitlisting and acceptance for PhD candidates, indicating a selective but attainable program. Mechanical Engineering experienced multiple rejections, pointing to stringent criteria. Electrical Engineering welcomed numerous master's candidates, suggesting a strong acceptance rate for these applicants. Economics showed successful waitlist acceptances, reflecting a hopeful trend for late-stage applicants. Civil and Environmental Engineering had several interview opportunities, highlighting its competitive nature. Bioengineering and Translational Research programs predominantly reported rejections, emphasizing their competitive entry barriers. Physics saw both waitlisting and acceptance, indicating a selective but attainable program. Chemistry had multiple interview opportunities, underlining its competitive environment. Management Science and Engineering experienced numerous rejections despite strong applications, underscoring the program's high standards. Statistics saw both waitlisting and acceptance, suggesting a balanced yet competitive program. Overall, these results suggest that while some programs like Electrical Engineering and Economics offer hope through waitlist acceptances, others like Bioengineering remain exceptionally competitive.

Computer Science, Stanford University International student, four internships at Big Techs, one year of work experience, two weak publications, 2 of those Big Tech internships were on research teams, a recommendation letter from Stanford Ph.D. (previous manager), a strong recommendation from a professor at Uni and a previous manager at Big tech. Idk, I am kind of disappointed I didn't get in. I know it is highly competitive and stuff, but I prepared so hard for this. I have a great resume, but I come from a very bad university in Latin America if you compare to any other of those US universities. Not sure if this may have had anything to do with it (maybe I had a bad application and just did not realize hahaha), but I wish I could know what they took into account in their decision. Well, congrats to those who were accepted; you should be really proud of yourself. I hope you guys enjoy your time at Stanford!

Computer Science, Stanford University First off, I want to formally thank my close freinds, advisors, and mentors for believing. I want to especially thank my mom. She worked double shifts just to keep a roof over my sisters and I ever the past few years. Second, I'd like to say FUCK YOU to all the people who said I wasn't “smart enough†or said my goals were too high for my expectations. Your skepticism and negative treatment only fueled my determination. Third, I'd like to say a special huge GO FUCK YOURSELF to one of my high school teachers and to one of my EECS Professors at Berkeley. Both of you doubted my abilities and underestimated my abilities as a student, particularly highlighting both of my physical and health challenges as a barrier to my success in the engineering field. You thought that being in a wheelchair would prevent me from achieving milestones in my life. You would have never thought a guy in a wheelchair could BOTH get a job at Google w/ a 6-fig salary AND get into Stanford Graduate Engineering school in the same month. WELL GUESS WHAT BITCHES. I DID IT. LOOK WHOSE WINNING NOW. 🖕😤🖕 (mic drop)

Computer Science, Stanford University To future applicants, here is my timeline so that you don't have to check your email every 20 minutes. Checklist disappearing Thursday night (if it disappears later than that it likely means rejection). Portal change at 5pm PST. No email.

Computer Science, Stanford University 3.4 Undergrad GPA | 2 YOE TECH (SWE @ FAANG) | Got an email saying that my status has changed in my Stanford Portal (This was probably the dead giveaway that I was rejected). I checked the update and they gave their generic rejection letter statement. Gratz to all who were accepted!
