Graduate School Admission Results

Did anyone get any interview invite or acceptance? Do they interview in stanford for PhD program?

Anyone got accepted into Systems/Architecture? No interviews, no emails and basically self rejecting every moment.

I was interviewed on 1/29. Does anyone know when are we expected to hear the outcome?

TTPB w.r.t Robotics: I applied but got neither interview nor acceptance. Self-rejecting at this point to maintain my sanity.

Any interviews in Robotics domain?

Interview held on 01/29

Dear XXXXX, Thank you for applying to the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that we have not selected you for the 2021 cohort of Knight-Hennessy Scholars. This does not affect the status of your Stanford graduate degree program application. Our decision does not mean that we doubt your ability to make a positive impact in the world. It merely reflects the fact that there are fewer spaces available in the Knight-Hennessy Scholars cohort than there are qualified candidates. Our commitment to a cohort of no more than 100 scholars requires us to make difficult decisions from a pool of highly qualified applicants. Our selection efforts are the result of human effort, and we evaluate every application seeking to learn about the applicant who authored it. With this in mind, we are genuinely sorry we cannot bring you better news. We thank you for the privilege of reviewing your candidacy, and we wish you success as you seek to make a positive difference in our world. Sincerely, Luke Anthony Peña Director of Global Admission and Financial Aid Knight-Hennessy Scholars Stanford University

TTPB: Congratulations! How did you find the research projects?

I was rejected from every program last cycle. Took the free year to do various personal/academic/industrial research projects. Never give up.

sad...

A bit disappointed but expected, since it's such a prestigious and competitive program. Congrats to all the finalists, hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

Email from POI. I'm in shock.

TTPB: Admitted student here... I don't know for sure, but I imagine all admitted students (in the first round at least?) were interviewed. They described the interviews as the final step in admissions, and the interview requests went out in a mass email.
