crocophil Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Does anyone else has its "application status" still marked as "incomplete" on the ApplyWeb page? Just trying to see if I am an exception or not... ? Toyo and Jeanne A. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RILE Hopeful Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) How many of y'all are re-reading your statement of purpose, writing sample, whole application, reviewing the GSE website multiple times and endlessly looking for trends on admission processes since you submitted your app? I have ? time is going so slow!! And my app has been "complete" since December, which I think the GSE said it would do for the PhD applicants.

coonie99 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Can someone please please chance me? I’m so anxiously waiting for the results from POLS GPA: 3.80/4.00 from top 25 American uni Major: double major in PR and History, minor in Music Extracurricular: -I have my own startup for a little more than half a year. It focuses on providing university consulting and tutoring for international applicants. -I do English education content creation on Chinese social media and have a following of 250k+. -Brief research experience related to children’s education -I am a licensed piano teacher and have been teaching music to 7 children -4 internships related to PR/advertising, since it’s what I primarily studied in college -Have my own band that does fundraising for children’s education in impoverished areas, fundraiser over $6000 Recs: three from professors, one from a student I teach English to PS: primarily talks about startup and social media blogging I’m mainly concerned that my academics and internships have nothing to do with Education. I’d appreciate it so much if someone can gimme your insights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the GSE website, it states that they don’t have a formal interview process or requirement, and that faculty can choose to do so on a case-by-case basis. Stanford has always been timely with their responses (right around Valentine’s Day), so I’m sure we’ll hear back around that time this year, too, even if our application status isn’t updated.

Toyo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I read a reply on the results page that too many applications have been received for the same position (under CTE) and that they are slowly checking those and scheduling interviews. Since I have also applied for CTE and have not even got my application status updated to complete, I am quaking in my boots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think changed statuses in our application checklists really mean anything? I thought it is kind of technical thing which is not related to the selection process itself ????? and that it simply means that all docs are received or something like that..?????? jk25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and it also says that many factors impact the decision on admission of each and separate applicant (sorry its not the direct quote but the meaning is like this)...so, it means we all can still hope...

I got your point, you mean that if the status is complete and they do not invite for interview it means that they are not interested in that candidate. Well, mine is complete and I did not receive any feedback...?? that's actually a bad sign then????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have mentioned that an interview is not a part of the normal admissions process and faculty takes that call. So, there is enough reason for you to not worry.

ngdt Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Thank goodness for this thread. Knowing that there are others who are also incessantly checking email/website/application/sanity actually does make me feel better. I have a specific question: on my application checklist, under GRE score status, it says "received (official)." But I didn't take the GRE this year. I did take it a little more than 5 years ago (when I applied and got rejected, wah wah). The strange thing is that those scores from 5 years ago should no longer be valid, so not sure how they were able to pull them. I was wondering whether that was a technical fix on their part to get the application into completed status since the GRE was required in previous years. Anyone else not take the GRE but seeing "received (official)" on their application checklist? I emailed the admissions office to ask, but no response. Thanks!

I never paid attention to this?? I will get back in a few minutes, after checking... By the way, which program are you applying? Me - PhD, SHIPS.
