<p>Hey guys. I live in an area where some people from my school have already had their interviews. I was just wondering how long it would take for me to get an interview or if I would get one offered at all? I assume Stanford interviews are not based on the strength of the applicant according to the website.</p>
<p>Nah man, it’s strictly random. I got contacted a few days after I sent in my app, interviewing on Sunday. If they haven’t already contacted you I wouldn’t get my hopes up, but I promise you that it has nothing to do with your strength as an applicant. You won’t be hurt if you don’t get one; it only serves to screen out the no-personality geniuses and validate what’s already on your app. Most people who get it don’t have interviews anyway</p>
