TTB (Stanford) P: Congrats on the PhD acceptances! Did any of you get an interview? Trying to figure out if no interview at this point can be interpreted as a rejection :(

Anyone knows what's the acceptance rate after interviews in aeroastro?

Wondering the same here, I can't help but think that most of these notifications are fake given that (1) it's too early in the cycle (they usually release results mid-Feb looking at last year's results) and (2) there's not enough info on these submissions. Moving onto r/gradadmissionresults and leaving gradcafe for good for this reason. Good luck everyone!

TTPB: Could you guys tell which area you are in, and were these email informal notifications from your POI? did you do any interview? At least give a little bit of info or else these post just looks like a scam. Cause it is way too early for Stanford to release official mails (comparing to previous years) and if it is, for a school of Stanford's magnitude, there should be at least 10 accept posts right now.
