Can't say it was unexpected, but no harm in taking a shot. My first reject - and really hoping I get something! Fingers crossed. Profile: Decent GPAs, 8 International journal papers, 7 conference papers, currently doing my Master's with thesis at UT Austin. Worked after my Bachelor's for a year. Decent internships and LoRs. Good luck to all who are anticipating their results!

GPA is from graduate school. Four years of research and ethnographic field school experience. Multiple publications. Didn't feel like Stanford was quite the right fit for me so all good on the rejection. Good luck to everyone else and try to remember that P.h.D. program rejections can still lead to great opportunities in life if you follow whatever you're passionate about.

Was just checking the portal and it didn't show my application checklist. I knew the rejection is coming. After one refresh, the decision letter came. I get to know the result even before my email does, lol.
