To the Stanford posters below: I know some strong applicants (e.g., have several first-authored top tier conference/journal publications) were accepted without any interviews in the past years. I personally had a phone interview with a faculty, who is not poi but in admission community, and it was pretty general admission interview like the posters in the past week. I think except for some exceptional cases, Stanford faculties like Prof. Li do not have interviews by themselves to admit their students.

5 years semiconductor industry experience, 5 top conference papers, presented my work in 4 countries, taped out 10 chips, chip lead, great SOP, great LORs, great fit with top Stanford Professor. But "Low International GPA" did me in. Didn't memorize stuff during undergrad, never could!

Standard mail. I read that each dept has a capacity of 70 students and was hoping to get in. Congratulations to all those who got in! Good luck to those still waiting.
