another question... considering that Stanford is the most competitive school and besides the ultra-performant applicants who are sure to get in, how important you think is the recommendation or indication from an alumni, student or connexion from Stanford?

i just heard from my recommender (harvard alumni) that this can hugely play a difference in admission. what do u people think? honestly, if i were the adcom reading the thousand applications, i would give an extra point to those who received an recommendation from someone of my community...

Guys, just got an invite. :) Less than 6 hours to my inquiry mail........Ironical.......
In fact this is an inquiry asking me how much I am willing to travel because there are no alumni in my area. :(
Alternately, they can take a phone interview........ Which one should I opt for?

Also, what do we wear to these interviews ? (I am a college senior......so no idea)
Me back to mugging....... end sems start tomorrow :|

Wow! Congrats Nobel - one of the rare few college seniors to get the invite.

In any case, you're keeping the hope (or perhaps misery) alive for the rest of us. Best of luck.

Congrats Guys and all the best for the interview :)

@Lostphoton was right on target, phodu man :) .And I agree with Sikandar, feel that they sent out the Reliance Fellowship invites yesterday, so I am moving on from this point onwards. No doubt I am disappointed but then this is not the end of life. Stanford or no Stanford we all will make it big in life and maybe one day make them regret their decision :)

Cheers!

@nobel @northernstar @tempoguy @sikander

Thanks! :-)

@northernstar

I am based out of Delhi

@tempoguy

I think the invites for reliance fellows are not over. In my opinion (which is again speculation) there would be two more batches of invites next week and that's when most of the invites would be over and not before that. Also I think it has got a lot to do with location. Where are you based out of? nobel got it right now coz he is asked whether he would like to do an interview on telephone or to a nearby location while I got it coz there were alums in delhi willing to do it. Maybe they are waiting for alums in other cities to reply before they can send invites.. so guys don't think otherwise.. we will get lots of invites next week....

Cheers! and All the Very Best!! to everyone for interview invites
