Link to portal, generic rejection, 'record-breaking number of excellent applications'

Zoom interview with prospective field faculty

Well, they kept me waiting this long. At least I have my answer now.

Sad.

Bummer, but not unexpected. Kinda didn't want to live in such an expensive area anyway!

"Thank you for submitting your graduate school application to Stanford Biosciences. This admissions season we have received a record-breaking number of excellent applications. The faculty admissions committees have had to make many difficult decisions. We regret that Stanford Biosciences is not able to offer you acceptance to our programs." Oh well...luckily I already accepted an offer elsewhere. :-) Congrats to all those who were accepted!

I should have never applied

Penn and Stanford in one day. Can we just get emails instead of portal messages? Seems inconsiderate but oh well.

Minimal effort rejection letter lol. Told to check portal.
