I was told by someone with connections to the program that it was due to lack of research experience - if you have publications, post-bac research, and/or 3+ years old research experience, you should be in better shape.

Though I applied for the PhD program, I received an automated letter of rejection for the MA program (as did many others). Stanford really doesn't seem to have their shit together this year.

Yay! Didn't expected but has a strong letter of recommendation and a good GPA. No publication. Really low GRE(haven't seen the one who accepted with such low GRE scores). No interview.

Hey I’m really sorry to have caused anyone to feel upset and to have not been considerate. After a recent death in my family, I’ve been experiencing homelessness as I’ve tried to finish school. I just felt so relieved to be accepted that I got too excited and wasn’t being considerate of others. Thank you for letting me know how my comments impact people.
