Stanford CS PhD admissions

[schummelpilz]

Hey everybody,

 

I am impatiently waiting for the Stanford CS PhD decisions. Has anyone heard back, yet? Or heard a specific date when they plan to get back to us? Last year, they sent out the e-mails "last Friday".

 

Good luck to everyone!

I'm curious as well. Their FAQ says that decisions will be emailed "starting Feb 10" - last year they did indeed keep to their posted date I think. Also I've noticed that last year a handful of acceptances were posted here even a few days earlier, but this year nothing so far.

Finally someone asks! I thought they were supposed to be out on Feb. 10, but still no news yet 

 

I'm waiting to hear back as well. Do Stanford do interviews before admits like Berkeley?

 

Good luck everyone!

I don't think they do, at least not in most cases. If they did interviews regularly I'd expect to see a few entries in the survey.

not a peep. So frustrating.

not a peep. So frustrating.

I'm checking e-mail, spam, and the results page waaay too often... 

[souffle]

got informal email of acceptance today

[abc78]

congratz just out of my curiosity wanted to know ,have you been interviewed for admission purposes or just got the acceptance without any interview? I am a MSc applicant to Management Science at Stanford and no words is heard yet so that's the reason I was wondering. 

[souffle]

no interview at all.

[soshy]

Congratz souffle! You seem to have gotten into so many top schools!

 

Now I'm sad... Stanford was my top choice

So maybe that means the decisions are done and we might hear soon? Tomorrow?!

 

Or they could wait until march...

[schummelpilz]

Admissions decision for the PhD program will be sent out mid-Feb. Admit weekend is scheduled for March 15-16, 2013. 

Sincerely,

Computer Science Graduate Admissions 

Stanford University

 

That's an older e-mail I found. I don't think they will wait until March. I'm crossing my fingers for the next few days! 

 

Congrats souffle! Which professor contacted you if may ask? And did he/she tell you that you we're officially admitted? In that case they should be (more or less) done with the decisions...

I heard that they plan to send out all decision letters/e-mails by the end of this week. Personally, I am very excited about the e-mail I received this morning.
