autobots Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The waiting game is hard. I see a few people have asked questions on the results page about if anyone has heard back from the Stanford Ed PhD programs yet. While we wait for any news, I figured I would make a post to see what programs people applied to/what contact they've had with the program so far. I applied to the CTE Math program.

Yumiko Ann Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I applied Learning Science and Technology Design Ph.d. Heard nothing from the program yet. I know a person who applied for the same program also haven't got any notifications... I'm wondering whether I was rejected if I don't get an interview?

naoone Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 From the results page, it seems like decisions came out around next week for the previous years. Their admissions page confirms this. Without any contact from professors, I wonder if I should just assume I wasn't accepted ??♀️. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfss Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Amen to waiting being the worst. CTE history applicant, here; also haven’t heard anything from professors so feels a bit like I’m just biding my time until the inevitable rejection...

JWalters Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) I've been in pretty consistent contact with a few professors who reached out to me about two weeks ago and can shed a little light on what's happening right now. One of them told me that the process is: from the initial hundreds of applications, about 30-45 (I can't remember the number precisely) get a full faculty review. In that full faculty review, each application gets read by a minimum of two faculty members. If they are interested in a person, they'll set up a phone call. If an applicant specifically mentioned a faculty member, that's brought to the faculty member's attention. One professor who called me was one of the two that I mentioned in my application. In other cases, faculty members call whoever's research interests they are drawn to. This was the case with the other professor who called me. One of the professors emailed me for a conversation the next day and told me that she was in a bit of a rush because she wanted to talk before some kind of... faculty meeting about candidates that week. We talked Monday the 28th, so I'm assuming whatever event she was talking about was Friday the 1st. The other professor reached out the next day, so I had two phone interviews that week. They've put me in contact with a few current students over the past week and have been quite thorough in answering my questions. That all feels positive, but one of them was very careful not to give me the impression that I was in, and made clear they were talking to a number of candidates. Any questions you have, let me know. Best of luck to all. * I should note that all my information is only relevant to CTE Edited February 8, 2019 by JWalters iheartscience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophieee Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Does Stanford interview phd candidates? If the admission decision is coming out this week as indicated on the website, for those of us who haven't received any words from the committee or professors, does it mean pretty much no?

Your chances are diminished if no professor has interviewed you up to this point, in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose_lr Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Is anyone applying for the Educational Policy (SHIPS) program? Has anyone been interviewd or reached out by professors?

Yep, that makes sense to me. I'm alright with that as I knew that the fit wasn't as great as with my other applications-- I'll take the no response as a 'no'.

nm16 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Some context for previous/future SHIPS applicants: Admissions this past year was more challenging than the usual, most likely due to several faculty going on sabbatical this year (2019-2020). Pro tip: Try to find out whether your POI will be on campus before naming them in your application. source: am a Stanford student Grmg2020 and Stanley 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
