Hello, fellow applicants! I was wondering what the chances are of being offered an interview at Stanford. Does anyone know the percentage of applicants who get invited for one? Thanks a lot!
Hi there! Stanford interviews are offered to as many applicants as possible, depending on the availability of alumni interviewers in your area. While I don't have the exact percentage of applicants who get invited for an interview, I can tell you that receiving an interview invitation is not a direct reflection of the strength of your application. Instead, it's primarily based on the number of alumni volunteers available. Keep in mind that interviews are optional and not being offered one won't negatively impact your chances.
If you do get an interview invitation, it's a fantastic opportunity to showcase your personality and demonstrate your interest in the university. Remember, though, that interviews are just one, relatively small part of the holistic admissions process, so try not to stress out to much if you are offered an interview. Good luck with your Stanford application!
