Will try again next year for sure. 

I just got back from the visit day where they revealed some stats about this year's admissions. The following include both MS and MS/PhD applications.
~950 applications 224 were sorted into the Admit/Possible Admit pile 181 were admitted (19% acceptance rate) 57 were invited to interview for 5 quarter and 3 year fellowships (6%) The vast majority of people invited will receive the 5 quarter fellowship for the MS before moving into a funded PhD. The MechE department has 5 Stanford Graduate Fellowships to hand out which provide funding and an increased stipend for 3 years. Stanford is only interested in funding students whose eventual goal is a PhD.
All letters will be sent out sometime in mid-March. The takeaway from this is that there are still 124 MS students who have no idea they've been admitted yet. Just wait if you're in this boat.

Not sure about quantitative requirements, but I did ask the person who invited me to interview why I was selected.
According to the person, the main thing that got me in was my balanced SOP. It wasn't just ungrounded passion, and neither was it just extreme technical detail. I wrote about my research and work experiences, focusing on how they made me ready for grad school and the qualities I have now. The second to last paragraph was a more detailed research direction I wanted to pursue as a result of my growth. The last paragraph was about how Stanford's connection to industry would help me reach my realistic humanitarian goals.
However, all of my quantitative stats were also solid. Great LORs, good GPA, stellar GRE, pending second author publications, 3 years research and internship experience. Stanford looks highly on balanced students.

I emailed the ME office today and their reply is "The committee has started to make decisions but very few so far.   We will be sending out more emails over the next few weeks." So keep your hopes up everyone and just wait it out.....
 

Nope. Just going to have to wait. 
And by wait I mean compulsively refresh the results page. 

Based on previous years' results, first wave should come out end of this week.

ME at Gatech and Purdue.  Chemistry at UPenn of coz as mentioned by cybergla. It seems that not only interviews, some of these schools have already given out a few admissions, too. The general decisions like who will be offered admission, waiting-listed and rejected will be made in late January. 

Also, just as an FYI, I got accepted into Harvard SEAS last year without any Skype interviews because the PI I got accepted with just didn't do them. So don't panic and assume you were rejected just because you don't have any Skype interviews lined up - there still could be good news coming!

I got an interview email yesterday from a robotics professor in SEAS.
