Stanford Class of 2027 Official Thread

Same no interview here from Pakistan.

Tbh interview has nothing to do with getting an acceptance. Last year, I knew 4 from Pakistan who were accepted to Stanford all without an interview.

How many people from India get in every year? Official data says about 17 to 18 but that seems really high. Anyone knows? Also is it a good sign if I got an interview (from an indian metrocity)?

they have 60 indians. So 15 each year. But account for yield, that should be 18. So yes.

But Indians with financial aid? Only 3-4 a year

do you know how many italians get in, in one class?

This link from Stanford says 5 Italians. So about 2 admits per year: Stats 2018.pdf - Google Drive

15 a year seems really high. Iā€™m full pay so that shouldnā€™t be a barrier. Is the mid-year report showing in the portal an indicator? Because mine doesnā€™t show it. Also is it a good sign if I got an interview (from an indian metrocity)?

Is getting an interview a good sign this year? Lots of people arenā€™t getting interviews it seems

What makes u think itā€™s really high? 15 out of some 2000 applicants isnā€™t high at all.
Interviews donā€™t mean anything. Mid year report wonā€™t show for anyone

fair enough, its not that high. are you sure mid year reports arenā€™t showing for anyone? Someone on here was saying midyear reports showing is an indicator for acceptance. Also if my interview was average, not that great or not that good, will it hinder my chances? Is an interview often what gets someone in?

From what I know, no one can see a mid-year report. So itā€™s nothing
An interview rarely affects a decision

Yes, mid year report will not show up in the portal I had checked with Stanford

How many students does Stanford take from Canada every year?

Hey all, I have some pretty significant updates to make. I am on a Gap Year. I know itā€™s already 25th Marchā€¦ but I think we still have a week before Stanford releases RD decisionsā€¦ do you think I should update them or will it be a waste of timeā€¦
Also, I checked Stanford doesnā€™t have any ā€œuploadā€ button on their portalsā€¦ so,should I send an email including my Common App ID, DOB and mentioning that this is an update letter from this student???

Does that include indian origin from US?

No. Those are Americans, not internationals.

Iā€™m curious, then, why they do the interviews if they have little to no bearing on admission?

To
a) catch any red flags that may not be apparent from the rest of the application
b) keep alumni engaged by making them feel part of the process

My interviewer seemed not that enthusiastic when interviewing me. It only lasted 30 minutes, but i feel we connected a little on some bits. He said, ā€œIā€™m sure youā€™ve applied to many schools, surely one of you will get into.ā€ It sounded kinda negative. Does this mean he is going to write me a bad report? Will this impact my chances of admission?

Are you sure you donā€™t have the update button? Pretty sure thereā€™s a ā€œUpdate Applicationā€ button.
