(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) Yes, I am an international student. It appeared on my applyweb status (I only checked after seeing posts here). It appeared after 2 interviews with POIs that went well and before an additional skype interview with a non-POI. Who knows what it all means at this point... Auriolus and abcde12345 2
tagomago Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 To all the interview applicants in this thread, any Masters applicants here?
benj Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I also saw the Official Documents Request thing pop up for Stanford. I'm not sure when since I hadn't checked for a while. Did anyone see this who did send their official transcripts by mail-- or only people who suspect they may have messed up that part of the process?
RobGood Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Are you all applying PhD? I am applying for master, and does anyone know whether Stanford will interview a master or not usually? thanks

I know someone last year accepted without interviews.

I have seen a PhD Linguistics order the documents and get confirmation for open house in March.
Auriolus Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 If your department did not specify this requirement (PAY and ORDER) before it was suddenly added to the website (ApplyWeb), then you really should not care about it. If any of the requirements change, at least IMO, the department will email all its applicants clearly about what to do. If your department has not done that, then admission and paying/ordering are NOT correlated. Best of luck!!

Definitely, this Document Request pop up has something to do with the fact that your application attracted someone's attention even if it's NOT correlated to being admitted.

Who knows what it all means at this point... First, congratulations on your offers. I'm just checking my inbox and spam +60 times a day. Just wanted to know if Receiving an email stating that your "APPLICATION IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW ... we expect to have decisions sent out by ..." just one week after the department deadline is a Good sign or not. I received that email and the "Document Request" pop-up showed up the next day. If my application was heading to the recycling bin, they wouldn't bother telling me to "ORDER OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS". PS: I already sent all OFFICIAL transcripts by Postal Mail and my file shows COMPLETE with all Transcripts showing OFFICIAL. Just worried and trying get some hints from already Interviewed or admitted applicants.
nixipixi Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 In the same boat...not sure what is going on.
Edotdl Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Not sure what's going on with this document request stuff - it did not happen to me last year. However, we did receive an email on 2/8 telling us to check ApplyWeb for our decision letter. No official news, but I feel like decisions should be released soon - CS is already done.

An international applicant got an admission offer to the Stanford ECE PhD program yesterday. He did mention that he did have the Document request pop up showing on his Applyweb page for these last weeks. Anyway, he got in even if the Adcom told him it was irrelevant a few weeks ago. Keep the faith. PS: someone didn't like the post and had it deleted yesterday morning.

Not officially, but I'm pretty sure most (if not all) the acceptances are sent out together. Also, last year I believe 200 students were interviewed and 120 were ultimately accepted.
