Hadn't heard anything, so knew I was at best on the waitlist. Wanted to head back to my home state ( :*( ), but after the visit I knew the fit was less than ideal with the POI. Will be attending another top school with the NSF GRF! Congrats to the Stanford Bio admits!

Did anyone hear from the department yet? Are they planning to give out the results or have they forgotten? This is what they had mailed some days back: "Our MS applications for Materials Science Engineering are still under review. We had several faculty traveling and this pushed our process back. I hope to have emails out later next week. Thank you for your patience." It is almost 2 weeks since I received this mail!!

European from good (but not super-top) University, with no research experience, very good (but not stellar) GPA. Exchange year in China, internship and a many extracurriculars. Applying for MSc in CS. Absolutely expected, but still, not regretting about having applied. Congrats and best of luck for those selected for the Immersion Weekend!

Stanford was not necessarily my top choice because there are other programs and faculty more closely aligned with my research interests. But I was still very much intrigued by all the resources and options available there. GPA is grad school. 0a/1r/7p
