<p>Has anyone applying regular gotten an interview/interview request? If not, when do you think they'll be rolling out? I live in Colorado (one of the stated interview states).</p>
<p>Since the pilot “interview program” started a few years ago in certain states, cities, and countries…it remains a work in progress…so it would not surprise me that you won’t get an interview in Colorado…it is all dependent on how many Stanford alumni are within your area and how many actually signed up to volunteer their time to interview you…</p>
<p>…regardless…whether you get one or not…your chances at Stanford remain basically the same.</p>
<p>…you have to understand…California (I know so many students who desperately want the opportunity to show their passion/earnestness to attend) and much of the Pacific coast applicants are not even given the opportunity for interviews…so count your lucky stars…you are at least in the pilot program list of states…</p>
<p>…best wishes.</p>
<p>I just got my interview request today. I live on the east coast if that info is helpful at all.</p>
<p>I’m in Oregon, and I haven’t heard anything about the interviews yet.</p>
<p>My son just got an invitation to interview. Question: will the alum who interviews him have seen his application materials?</p>
<p>Got an interview request today. Same here, would like to know if the alumni will see the applicant whole application materials.</p>
<p>Probably not. When I had mine, the interview said he only knew my “name, number, and email address.”</p>
<p>I second the above. My interviewer just asked me what I wanted to talk about.</p>
<p>Is getting an interview a good or bad sign? Does it mean that Stanford is interested in me or am I putting to much into it? Will doing an interview help my chances? Would appreciate feedback for those who have any info. Thanks</p>
<p>I also got an interview invite today in Minneaota. From what I’ve researched so far being asked to interview means nothing about where you fall admissions wise. If you’re asked to interview it just means you’re lucky enough to live near an available alumni in one of the designated areas. I’d like to think accepting the interview will help me if I do well, but it seems they don’t carry much weight since so many people don’t even have the chance do have one.</p>
<p>I am from Denver, Colorado. An alumni contacted me to arrange for an interview yesterday!!!</p>
<p>Grrrrrr I’m around Denver :(</p>
<p>Any international applicants here? I’m from India and I haven’t been contacted regarding the interview? Does Stanford offer Skype interviews? At least to international applicants. Or does the interview solely depend on the availability of Alumni in the applicant’s city?</p>
<p>^^Stanford does NOT offer interviews to MOST international applicants (including India) since the interview pilot program is relatively new…</p>

<p>oh ohk! Thanks for the info gravitas2 :)</p>

<p>It’s new. Even the other colleges that have used this for many decades only put the slightest value in interview reports. It means nothing to be offered one or not offered one. Sorry.</p>
<p>Guys! I got my interview request today. For those of you who have been interviewed, what can I expect? Thanks</p>
<p>Late to answering this, but hope it will help. In areas where interviews are conducted, ALL applicants within certain zip codes are offered interviews. There is no greater meaning to getting an interview than the fact that you live in an area where interviews are offered. In the state of Colorado, all applicants are offered interviews (there are enough alumni to cover the applicants). The interview is one small piece of the information the admission committee gets about a student. Interviewers only get the applicant’s name, gender, high school, email address and phone number. That’s it. As for what to expect, there is no standard format. Just be yourself.</p>
<p>I haven’t and won’t. To me though it seems like Stanford, more so than other schools, created a really through supplement. So I’m really comfortable not having the interview. </p>
<p>My son just got an interview offer and was told the interview reports are due Feb 20.</p>
