Stanford GSE 2021

[Jeanne A.]

Well, I just went to see to the portal to check my status for any updates. I thought may be i can know even before they send me an email, and may be the decision already there....

But..it's not. No updates in the form.

21.18 evening here and I guess that tomorrow morning will be THE morning.......

A few years back, I got the decision on Feb 10th at 9:04am PT. 

Last year for the masters it was 7am PT. I assume if we do not hear by 3pm PT it will be next week and I will stop checking the email

I'm surprised you guys are so excited about the results. For my part, now that it's the supposed D-DAY, I'm very scared and I would rather continue not knowing about the decision and just hoping haha ?

Yes, I am also planning to concentrate on other things starting tomorrow morning because this past week ALL my energy was wasted (?) for waiting

..since my further direction in life depends on Stanford decision, I was interested to be clear about it, to digest it, and to move on. Now i am kind of stuck..any way, I have to focus on other things which were left unfinished for the past weeks..

haha no the not knowing is torture, once you know you can move onto other things (or other applications like I will)

Another reason why I quit waiting is that earlier this week I purchased some chocolate ?and a fresh bottle of milk? for that special "tea ceremony" devoted to opening the decision mail (I described the ceremony earlier)..But over these days I have eaten all that chocolate ? and milk is also over, so...?‍♀️

I just got an email from my POI asking for a phone call this morning. I am assuming this is a good sign? Why would they call me if I am getting rejected? Idk what to make of it tho

Seems cruel if they call for a rejection? So prepare the general 'why do you want to do this' questions etc incase it is an interview

Wow.

Did you contact your POI before applying? And did you have an interview? 

Thanks for the answers?

Do you think they are still interviewing? Wow that would be great!

[iamsoscared96]

Thank you so much for the tip about the impromptu interview! No, I did not contact my POI before applying. 

I agree about it being weird to call for a rejection, but I guess I am just surprised!! Good luck to you all!!! ❤️
