Graduate School Admission Results

I spent 15 minutes of our 30-minute Zoom interview talking about Garfield, particularly my extensive knowledge of Garfield lore spanning 10 years of consuming Garfield media, including comics, video games, and films. The professor seemed really confused and tried to redirect the conversation, but I told him he was talking over me and mansplaining, which shut him up for a while. At the end of the interview he said there might have been a misunderstanding and that these topics "weren't appropriate" for a PhD interview. I started screeching into my headset mic and punching my webcam. He hung up and I received a rejection email a few hours later.

Nothing received, rejection assumed

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone else has received communication from Stanford Chemistry. Someone here already got an interview request from them; congratulations to you. Does anyone know if they're still in the process of reaching out to other prospective candidates? (Please ignore the acceptance notification). Thank you!
