Has anyone heard back from Stanford at all in the past week?

Yeah, I've also heard back from everywhere except Stanford/MIT. Here's hoping we hear back in the next couple days.

Their profile says materials.

Congrats! I hope to see you here during visit weekends!

According to the first-years in my lab, most (though AFAIK not all) of the incoming students who had interviews were accepted. Some students also got in without an interview...though I don't exactly consider the fact that I haven't had one yet to be promising. Did you interview with Mircea and Yogi?

I'm actually an inorganic chemist, so I didn't apply to Scripps, but that's great to hear! Good luck!

It does make me feel a bit better knowing I'm not alone. Cheers!

I certainly hope so. I still haven't heard back from MIT or Stanford, and I'm starting to get nervous. From what I can tell from past years, Harvard tends to respond pretty late in the cycle, so I'm less worried about that.

I got an email from Columbia two weeks ago, on Jan 11th. No idea if they're still reviewing applications. No idea, but if last year is any clue, there's still another week or so of review before they reject all the remainder.

I'm inorganic, and the POI who gave me the call was one of the PIs I mentioned in my SOP. My roommate was watching a movie on full blast at the time, and I was too busy fist-pumping into my bedroom mirror to catch exactly what my POI was trying to say, but I'm pretty sure he mentioned that I should get the official notification next week. Unfortunately, I was too nervous to ask him to repeat himself.

I just got a call today from my POI at Caltech confirming my acceptance, though I haven't received any email or a formal offer of admission yet.
