nixipixi Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 An email about interview slots was sent a few weeks ago claiming applicants would be notified untill January 15th. I am wondering if the actual interviews have not been scheduled yet or whether I just didn't make the short list...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techzilla Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 On the same boat, but had a friend who got in last year without interviewing. So just because you do not get selected for one does not mean you will not get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techzilla Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Along these lines, anyone hear anything from Berkeley? Pretty sure they interview everyone starting around mid January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHopeWoke Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 One guy reports an interview in the results section, but that's all I've heard. A lot of Berkeley CS people seem to have heard back though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcde12345 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Unfortunately did not hear back from Stanford. I had a general interview (more of a chat) with a professor from Berkeley not mentioned in SOP. He said that the purpose of the chat was to clarify parts of the application (role in research, favorite classes, etc.) so that he could pass on that information to the review committee.

abcde12345 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I just received a general interview email from Stanford (from the university, not POI). They gave a username and password to log into their interview site. It looks like they assigned me to interview with three professors (including one POI).

Auriolus Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 How have the interviews been so far? Were they stressful or more like a chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope2000 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Depends on which professor you're interviewing with. Be prepared to explain details on your past research. Make your speech succinct as all interviews are limited to 25-30 minutes, especially when your scheduled window is in between two of the others. abcde12345 and Auriolus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All interviewers so far asked to summarize research/latest research project. Auriolus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auriolus Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) By the way, does the section "Official Documents Requests" from the Stanford Applyweb form appear on your accounts, as the posts on the results webpage say? What can it mean? And has any of your interviewers mentioned when they will probably send back any replies? Thanks!!

This seems to be some sort of paid service by applyweb. The only clue I got is from here: https://gradadmissions.stanford.edu/ For accepted students only: Stanford requires academic credentials directly from the issuing institution. If you attended one of the few institutions that issues only one official document and only to the student, then please submit a HelpSU ticket to request an appointment with Graduate Admissions upon arrival at Stanford for verification of the credential Edited January 27, 2017 by jungjalapeno notify me of replies abcde12345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am baffled though as the email I originally received from them to acknowledge my application stated: 2.   Applications submitted with unofficial, uploaded transcripts will be considered as complete.  Only admitted applicants will be contacted with instructions for sending official transcripts. abcde12345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually for my program, we were required to send in the official transcripts by post. But this seems to be extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixipixi Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 I am applying for the EE PhD program and I had to send originals as part of my application as well. This is an additional request I think...but I am not sure it correlates to being admitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I agree it should not be correlated to being admitted at all because it appeared during interview week; I believe no decisions should have been made before a committee meeting at least, not sure though) Edited January 30, 2017 by Auriolus abcde12345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
