Stanford ECE interview?

[nixipixi]

An email about interview slots was sent a few weeks ago claiming applicants would be notified untill January 15th. I am wondering if the actual interviews have not been scheduled yet or whether I just didn't make the short list...?

[Techzilla]

On the same boat, but had a friend who got in last year without interviewing. So just because you do not get selected for one does not mean you will not get in.

Along these lines, anyone hear anything from Berkeley? Pretty sure they interview everyone starting around mid January

[NoHopeWoke]

One guy reports an interview in the results section, but that's all I've heard.

A lot of Berkeley CS people seem to have heard back though

Unfortunately did not hear back from Stanford. I had a general interview (more of a chat) with a professor from Berkeley not mentioned in SOP. He said that the purpose of the chat was to clarify parts of the application (role in research, favorite classes, etc.) so that he could pass on that information to the review committee.

I just received a general interview email from Stanford (from the university, not POI). They gave a username and password to log into their interview site. It looks like they assigned me to interview with three professors (including one POI).

Yep. Got a similar mail.

Good luck everyone!!

Congrats! Good luck. Got the same email here. What areas are yall? (I'm InfoTheory/Comms/Controls)

Does anyone know how many kids get interviews relative to how many Stanford finally accepts?

Same email here! When are your interviews scheduled? Mine are both on the 25th. I'm in Information Systems and Science (mainly biomedical imaging and signal processing).

Good luck all!

[abcde12345]

Nice! Got two this week and one the following week.

Best of luck then! Tell us how your interviews go; I hope you do ace them.

[abcde12345]

Best of luck to you too!

How have the interviews been so far? Were they stressful or more like a chat?

Depends on which professor you're interviewing with. Be prepared to explain details on your past research. Make your speech succinct as all interviews are limited to 25-30 minutes, especially when your scheduled window is in between two of the others.

Agreed. All interviewers so far asked to summarize research/latest research project.

By the way, does the section "Official Documents Requests" from the Stanford Applyweb form appear on your accounts, as the posts on the results webpage say? What can it mean?

And has any of your interviewers mentioned when they will probably send back any replies?

Thanks!!

Have the same question. My application shows "Submitted" and had submitted all the required documents. Any clue regarding this new requirement?

I did not receive an "Official Documents Request" section.. Also do not know when we will get results.

I got this for my MS&E Ph.D application (Sorry to hijack this thread, I was searching for this phrase).

This seems to be some sort of paid service by applyweb. The only clue I got is from here: https://gradadmissions.stanford.edu/

For accepted students only: Stanford requires academic credentials directly from the issuing institution. If you attended one of the few institutions that issues only one official document and only to the student, then please submit a HelpSU ticket to request an appointment with Graduate Admissions upon arrival at Stanford for verification of the credential

I was likewise searching for the same phrase and have this on my application for a PhD in education. I am baffled though as the email I originally received from them to acknowledge my application stated:

2.    Applications submitted with unofficial, uploaded transcripts will be considered as complete.  Only admitted applicants will be contacted with instructions for sending official transcripts.

Actually for my program, we were required to send in the official transcripts by post. But this seems to be extra.

I am applying for the EE PhD program and I had to send originals as part of my application as well.

This is an additional request I think...but I am not sure it correlates to being admitted.

nixipixi, are you an international student? And has this request appeared on your applyweb status page too? (I agree it should not be correlated to being admitted at all because it appeared during interview week; I believe no decisions should have been made before a committee meeting at least, not sure though)
