2018年1月22日 · Stanford is relatively young, compared to the Ivies. Its alums are also relatively more concentrated in certain geographical areas. Stanford needs to conserve its resources when it comes to interviews. Of course, getting an interview is only the first step. Your odds are probably slightly better as a result, but still very very long.

I got my Stanford interview request today and at the bottom of the email they state that the interview is entirely optional and there is no penalty for declining. Is this true?

2022年2月7日 · Hey all, I had my Stanford interview a few days ago and it was the best one I had so far. My interviewer was very casual and welcoming and provided so many anecdotes that got me excited for the school (although, of course, my chances are close to 0 haha).

2017年1月30日 · I recently found a post on Quora in which a Stanford interviewer states that getting an interview means that an applicant is under “serious consideration.” I am from a small town in the northeast and was recently contacted for a Stanford interview. Is this a good sign, or am I simply grasping at straws?

2024年12月15日 · Honestly it doesn’t mean anything as my daughter for Fall 23 also had an interview with Stanford and she said so did everyone else at her high school who applied.

2022年11月7日 · i had an interview with harvard today and i was initially super stressed about it but honestly when you start talking to your interviewer it’ll become more like a regular conversation and maybe you’ll even connect with them (i found that i had a lot of the same interests as my interviewer even tho she’s 30 years older than me which was really cool). …
