Penguin123 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I heard nothing so far. Just wondering if anyone has any communication with them. Thanks!
LittFox Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I applied for their MS program and haven't heard anything yet. Super worried!!!
Penguin123 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 bamacarolina - thanks for sharing! LittFox - I'm with ya. I'm sitting on other offers, but really want to know Stanford decision as soon as possible, so I know whether to factor it into my decisioning or not. =/ It's a bit strange to me that other schools have been very active on this forum, but not Stanford.
monkey_business Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 For the MS applicants, I called the department a couple days ago and was told that decisions will be sent out this coming week. Hope that helps.
Penguin123 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 monkey_business - yes thank you that helps a ton! that means I will be refreshing my email every 10 seconds , but at least your warned me to bring a phone charger monkey_business 1
Justmyself Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I'm on the same boat too. Has anybody received any admission notification? I'll post as soon as I get one.
biostat_prof Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 For what it's worth a student that I know was wait listed to their PhD program about two months ago and received an offer off the wait list in the past week or two. I think it's safe to assume that if you haven't heard anything, the best-case scenario is that you are on a "backup wait list" (which is probably not a good place to be, given that Stanford's yield is high). So don't get your hopes up. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
LittFox Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 thanks monkey_business. I think we are about to hear news, just today (not very likely), tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Penguin123--just curious, what are your options up to now?
Shostakovich Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I got two emails from them awhile back telling applicants not to email them about the MS decisions as they are very busy, and if I recall correctly they said the decisions should be up around late March.

I have only seen decision results for their PhDs posting on this site so far, nothing for masters, could it be that they are still making decisions?
Penguin123 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 thanks monkey_business. I think we are about to hear news, just today (not very likely), tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Penguin123--just curious, what are your options up to now? LittFox - I am sitting on masters from Berkeley, Columbia, and Cornell Operations Research. What about you? Any opinion on which I should go with?
LittFox Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 LittFox - I am sitting on masters from Berkeley, Columbia, and Cornell Operations Research. What about you? Any opinion on which I should go with? Penguin123--I am sitting on masters from Yale, Chicago, and Columbia. I don't really know about Cornell Operations Research but I guess it is a good program. I know Berkeley's stats program is pretty good and Columbia's program is kinda ill-reputed. I would say go for Stanford if it admits you, otherwise you might want to decide between Cornell and Berkeley.
Justmyself Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 No emails so far, so I guess they are gone for the week.
Penguin123 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 No emails so far, so I guess they are gone for the week. Hey just curious do you have other options to consider? Me too, I will post my results as soon as I get any notification.
econ_to_stats Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Still no word. I guess when they said "by late March" they really meant it.
Justmyself Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks for posting LittFox! I'm checking my email every minute but nothing has come in yet.
Justmyself Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 econ_to_stats: Thanks for posting. I haven't gotten anything yet, but at this point I'm preparing myself for a rejection too.
econ_to_stats Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 The email said "The screening of applications for admission to the Master’s program is now complete." so I expect you should hear back very soon.
Justmyself Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Got nothing today. Guess I'll email them on Monday. Thanks!
LittFox Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Justmyself--you might want to check your junk folder.
Justmyself Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Nope. I applied through HCP (part-time) so don't know if that makes any difference.
