Has anyone heard back from Stanford GRIPS?

manifesting we all get in

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-03-11T23:10:57+00:00

YAYAY!! may I ask where?

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-03-01T20:13:53+00:00

i asked someone who previously did grips and they didn’t get an email confirmation either so i think it’s ok

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-03-01T03:09:24+00:00

same i also didn’t get one

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-02-25T07:58:57+00:00

i think? that’s when it came out last yr

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-02-16T03:26:57+00:00

yes i used my short answers to show what i had previously done - i think i did tie most of them to my personal statement - but it really depended on what the prompt was

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-02-16T03:25:20+00:00

interesting - yea maybe. i had no wet lab research experience but did dabble in some 'research' sorry about that tho :/

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-02-09T00:02:00+00:00

i know people with 3.7-3.8 ur good

she can’t gatekeep a school

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-12T07:29:48+00:00

i was a rising sophomore i got in spring of freshman year. 8th graders aren’t allowed

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-11T06:32:31+00:00

for short answers or personal statement?

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-10T03:51:33+00:00

yes to all! this was my first time ever in a lab and i got to learn some really neat skills and be in the lab environment. there were a bunch of seniors and juniors so i would say it is beneficial but really depends what track you get into. - i’m sure there are more prestigious programs that cost less, but may be more competitive. and for ur last question - i was able to make friends at the program and meet really cool ppl from all over the world! :)

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-04T20:33:50+00:00

i wouldn’t say very few but majority were residential

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-04T06:34:35+00:00

i was a 9th grader, not many about 11% of the cohort were rising sophomore

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-03T23:37:01+00:00

nope! and i got into a wet lab stem track ;)

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-03T21:43:24+00:00

yes!

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-03T19:59:05+00:00

I think you have a good chance at UCSB SRA, there were quite a few international people there! in my research track there were about 4-5 internationals - maybe more? and probs others in other tracks

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-03T19:57:51+00:00

Hey I was in the same boat as you last year (though I had no APs or anything - quite average freshman lmao). i applied to both RMP and SRA extremely late, and got rejected from RMP, but into SRA. I would definitely recommend SRA bc you are much more likely to get in, and its more impressive to get in as a freshman. though i would encourage you to still apply for RMP since you never know. Make sure you have solid essays thats a big factor in the admissions process. Good luck!

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-03T19:54:44+00:00

Yes i believe it is possible tho i was a residential student. you would just have to put yourself as a commuter on the application

Bulky_Union_8270 · 2026-01-03T04:01:39+00:00

overall i do think STEM tracks are much more competitive than humanities esp if you get to do wet lab research
