To the poster below, I expect Stanford will announce admission result quite soon, however, even after that, they will compensate grad students additionally among the interviewees who haven't been selected for the first time.

Super excited. For future appliers- I feel that you should not (!) treat KH as a regular application, rather as a place to be a bit more creative in your method of presentation. They are looking for unique people, show them your uniqueness!

General rejection letter. Lived on campus for 2 years while spouse studied at Stanford. Was involved in volunteer research on campus. Great community, however definitely met with students that are not 'Stanford Material' but knew professors there - the grad admissions board most definitely make mistakes so don't take it badly all my fellow rejects!

To the people who got accepted (particularly in AI/ML) can you please share what you think got you in? There are people with 5+ first author top conference papers and 100s of citations who didn't get in, so I am just curious as to what it takes?
