TTPB: Thanks for the information. I wonder how will they select 'k' candidates? If they had already ranked candidates then why bothering taking interviews for candidates, not in top 'k'? I checked gradcafe for the rejection after the interview post from 2017-2020, seems like only a couple of people get rejected after the interview. I am just speculating, we have to wait for one more week. My interview was taken by POI mentioned in SoP, but he hasn't read my SoP for sure. Maybe the committee screened the candidates and forwarded them to POI for their further comments.

TTPB: have contacted some people who either worked at Stanford as an intern or are doing a PhD there. Basically, they send out twice the amount of interview invites as those they can admit. The interviewers are on the behalf of the committee, but judging from the posts here it seems that most candidates are interviewed by their POI for some reason. My guess is that getting an interview only means a profile is in the top 2k (k = admits), so interview results are only supplementary.

3 interviews from Feb 1 to Feb 8. Decisions to be released early March.

Does getting an interview implies that we are close to being accepted? I heard most of the interviews were informal, was it just a sanity check?

Health economics tract

RT: "decision letters will be sent out next week", tbh I'm assuming the invites have been sent and the rejection letters are being sent this week

Has anyone heard from this program (decision science track specifically)? TY!

Anyone hear anything from this program yet? Do they typically interview short-listed candidates prior to admission?

Emailed them and got an email back that said my app was still under review so I'm assuming decisions will come out this week

The recent computer science masters admit, can you please post your profile?

TTPB: I haven't heard anything either :( I think realistically they probably already sent out invites right? They said we would have a decision before the end of January... another person emailed them and they said that if you don't hear back by late Jan early feb then it is most likely a rejection. I'm still slightly hopeful but also trying to be realistic. Good luck I hope we get in :)

Not surprised, was a big reach. Very generic rejection letter

An informal interview with PI

Has anyone heard yet? Have all the interview invites been already sent out on 14th Jan? I am still waiting anxiously!

Anyone heard from BMI at all?

Casual chat where we discussed my research. Went well and was actually a good time.
