Didn't see this thread yet so figured I'd start it. Anyone hear anything from Stanford yet?

Some of us were discussing under the "Discussion" tab of the program page on this site. So far, only one person I know of had an interview. I haven't heard anything from them.

Nice! Congrats on moving to the next step! I'm thinking I must be out of the running now if I didn't have an interview, but who knows!

Probably the interview invitations are still on the way! I saw in 2022 they still sent out invitation in mid-February.

when did you hear back from them last time?

 

[shyaboutmyart]

some time in march to let me know i was denied. but i know someone who went to the same film-school as me , who was admitted and she said they send interview request early February and they fly out everyone who they want no matter if they're international or in America, because they cohorts are so small.

Just received a rejection email! Best of luck to everyone else.

That's a bummer. Don't forget to log your application though when you can with all the important dates to help others.
