She was like "you seem like a fit at Michigan but the admissions department has the final say for the overwhelming number of applications. I wish you the best with your academic endeavors." That's basically a rejection, right??? Sorry I'm freaking out haha Be thankful she was nice enough to respond to emails post interview! She set you down easy, but anything along the lines of "best of luck" is a kiss of death. On the bright side, if you made it to the interview stage at UM, you have a good shot at other programs depending on where you applied. Edited January 25, 2017 by koab79

Thanks though; that makes me feel a little better :)))

I thought I had a decent shot at this one since PI (who wrote a rec letter) discussed funding details (he said he can have me on his own lab funding). It shoud carry some weight but the committee decides. Oh well.. meggied 1
avin1103 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Hi, sorry for jumping in from nowhere. Anyone here who has applied to Stanford for MS/PhD program been requested to submit official documents on their ApplyWeb accounts? I had already sent seal transcripts and now they want me to send it again for Credential Evaluation with an additional fee of $150. Does anyone have any idea about this? Thanks Avinash

Thanks Avinash No, I don't think you need to send your official documents unless a professor e-mail-ed you specifically requesting you to do so. The 'Official Documents Requests' appeared on my ApplyWeb account AFTER I was rejected by Stanford. If you already sent in your official transcripts, I highly doubt you would need to do so again.

Thanks But will they consider me for the MS program without it? I have written them an email about it though.

Keep us updated about the Stanford MS program! Also, does anyone know if Duke and Columbia are still sending out interview invites, or if I haven't received anything from them it means I am rejected at this point? dwm 1

Duke has admits directly to the lab so I think interview invites will vary?

I think they may have another bulk round of invites going out. There were 30 or so at the first interview session and I was told typically they have about 30 more come to the second interview day in late February.

Really wasn't expecting to get in. Are you currently a graduate student or undergraduate researcher?

Pittsburgh emailed me about 1-2 weeks ago about their interview weekend. I told them I couldn't go. I hope they contact you soon! Good luck!
rubiacaefan Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 For those of you with Columbia invites, did they email you that they were reviewing your application before they sent you anything? I got a random email the other day from them saying mine is currently marked for review. Is that just to let me know they haven't forgotten me? Lol

A friend of mine was "forgotten" by them until well after she got all her other acceptances back. Good thing they noticed much earlier on this time around.
Raulucollege Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I'm kind of sad no one posts on this as much anymore. Has everyone basically gotten all of their decisions back or is there another forum people are on?
