Hi everyone! I applied to several jobs through Stanford Careers in early October and was wondering if anyone could share their experience with hiring timelines.

I understand timelines vary by position, but I've already received a rejection email for one of my October applications, while the others still show “Under Consideration.”

For context, I also applied for a position in late May and was invited to interview. The PI later emailed me directly to let me know I wasn't selected, but that application still shows “Under Consideration” in the portal. In fact, the status never changed, even when I was invited to interview.

I completely understand that keeping application statuses updated can be challenging, but I'm curious about how reliable they are and what other statuses might appear throughout the hiring process.

For those who have applied for jobs through Stanford Careers, whether you were invited to interview, received an offer, or were rejected, how long did it take to hear back? Did your application status ever change, and if so, what statuses did you see?

I'd really appreciate anyone willing to share their experience. Thank you!

can i get in during daylight hours on saturday or do i need to scan for access?

Hey guys I will be visiting friends who go to stanford for some time and I need to use a Bloomberg for an internship during my stay, I was wondering if guests are allowed inside Green Library? Not sure if this is "authorized" but if I got into Green as a visitor with my friends would I be able to go to the bloomberg and get set up?

so i guess for research jobs they make you do a drug test. are they testing for marijuana cuz isnt it legal??

Hey guys. I just filled out the first advantage forms. Do they really call and reach out to my previous employers for 7 years? Or just the most recent employer?

How many days did you guys get the result after the initial application?

Thanks!

I'm curious about Greek Life at Stanford. How does rush work? How bad is hazing and pledging? What reputation do all the frats have?

hey! does anyone know what the general etiquette is around using re-useable coffee cup/mugs when buying coffee on campus? i.e. are there any cafes that DO accept them? (from what i see it seems like they don't usually!)

trying to avoid microplastics/throw less trash

also wondering about what cafes are like in downtown palo alto and across cal ave (i.e. zombierunner) thanks!

Hello everybody,

Is there any free parking near the hospital for night shift employees? My shift starts at 7 pm and lasts until 7 am. Or any recommendations on where to park during those hours?

Can incoming Civil and Environmental Engineering master's students get teaching or research assistant positions?

Or, are those strictly reserved for PhD students?

I just noticed today that I can no longer see grade distributions on OnCourse. Has anyone else noticed this? Or does anyone know why? It was very helpful. Thanks!

As a freshman this will be my first college test and i really wanna do good!! So far, the class has been really challenging for me and i can only do the homework with help from TA’s. How would you guys recommend i study for the midterm coming up in a week?

Thanks so much for any and all advice!

hi - I need some advice on this

I have some friends but still struggling on finding my "people"

people I'll feel happy and do interesting stuff with

I keep seeing people go to sf, la, half moon bay etc, and I want a circle that will do the same with me, be spontaneous and fun

I'm sick of being in my dorm waiting

any advice?

Does anyone know if there are any DDR pads on/close to campus?

Coming back for reunion and wanted to try eating on campus. Do the dining halls still have different cuisine “focuses” and which are good nowadays? Any viable competition to Treehouse or TAP? Is Lag late nite still OG?

Wondering how big the curve is for the final grade if anyone has taken it in the past.

How’s it going for everyone? I’m shocked by how many people I don’t know or have never seen in my life. I feel like it would be fun to meet new people in addition to catching up with old friends.

Hello! I am in a weird situation and we (our friend group) have reason to believe that one of our friends is lying about their alumni status from the Stanford graduate school of business. Would any recent alums could do a quick search on the alumni directory to verify?

Many thanks in advance!
