<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>The thought that I wasn't offered an interview suddenly came to my mind today (yes... one day before the admission decisions are released), and it has been bothering me.
Does Stanford offer interviews to every applicant?
If not, does that mean those who didn't receive a request for interview are automatically out of the game? </p>
<p>Thanks guys,</p>

<li>Does Stanford offer interviews?
For the 2012–13 admission cycle the Office of Undergraduate Admission will offer an optional alumni interview to applicants in Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham, Washington, D.C.; the states of Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, Virginia; as well as Ireland and much of the UK including London. New interview areas will be added gradually over the next several years.</li>
</ol>
<p>Interviews will be offered only to applicants who attend high school in selected zip codes within these areas. You may not travel to an interview area to have an interview.</p>
<p>If you are eligible to be a part of the alumni interview program, an alumnus or alumna will contact you after you have submitted your application. You do not need to do anything—if an interview is available to you, you will hear from us. Please do not call or email the Office of Undergraduate Admission to request an interview and/or to find out if you are eligible for an interview.</p>
<p>Although we will make every effort to offer an interview to all eligible applicants in the interview areas, please understand that due to limited resources in some areas, interviews may not be available to every candidate. Your application to Stanford will be considered complete with or without an interview.</p>
<p>you scared me for a moment.
yea one day before the admission decisions are released. -_____- lol at this point, you shouldn’t be scrutinizing and finding mistakes in your app. It’s done.</p>
<p>@Justiniee: You’re right…lol I was freaking out all of a sudden seeing that so many of my classmates got into their dream schools!!!</p>
<p>D: it sucks to dream big.
so nervous now lol. I might even faint tomorrow when the decision comes >,<~</p>
<p>btw where are you from? :)</p>
<p>So it seems two ranges of time is fairly possible.
Either today 1:00 - 5:00 PM PST,
or Friday’s.
Right?</p>
<p>@Justiniee: Im actually from Taiwan, and from a pretty competitive private American school in Taipei (Capital of Taiwan)</p>
<p>oh niceee :)) I really hope to visit taiwan in the future, especially after learning so many thing about taiwan in my chinese class. 夜市~ you know, all the foods and cute things I can buy hee hee hee :’'3</p>
<p>Oh thats really cool!
Yea. 夜市 here is pretty damn awesome. You should get a cup of Pearl milk tea too! That’s something we’re really proud of!</p>
<p>ha ha !! I did my project/ research on 珍珠奶茶 for chinese class too! xD
the city that I live in is highly populated with chinese so technically I drink boba tea every week. in fact I just had one for the night :’'3 an undeniable thing is that taiwan has so many good 小吃</p>
<p>Whoa absolutely did NOT expect to see Chinese on CC…it’s a pleasant surprise though. I was under the impression that international interviews are only conducted in UK and Ireland.
btw @littlebirdpoo do you go to TAS? ha I’m from Taiwan too.</p>
<p>@timothyhses: TES? and yes.</p>
<p>@littlebirdpoo oh so you go to Taipei European School? I was referring to Taipei American School. Anyway, both awesome schools.</p>
<p>Oh lol. I meant yes I’m from TAS, and I was asking if you’re from TES</p>
<p>@littlebirdpoo HA no, why’d you think that? I go to a public school. I live near TAS though.</p>
<p>@timothyhses: haha I don’t know. Best of luck! Go Taiwan!</p>
