Is there anyone who applied to UCI ESS? I went to their visit day early this month. But twenty days passed, I heard nothing from the program.

Yeah, some information would be good, especially for us international students who have restricted mobility when going to other countries (read: visas) and need more resources to move.
I'm expecting to wait until the end of April to hear officially from UC Davis, based on the "space available" application deadline on May 1st. I already emailed my POI asking for any update, hoping that I can get some idea long before then on how I should move forward.
It's a hard decision if you chose to wait. I sent emails to the programs I applied and only UCLA and UCI gave a reply, saying 'within the next two weeks'.

I applied to five, 4 in Cali. Haven't heard any from any of them. The only one was financial aid info for one of the schools, but it had a disclaimer saying that it did not indicate you were accepted or rejected yet. So still waiting but get more and more nervous :/
It seems that someone even got the admission in mid-May. I am confused why these programs are later than others. Nervous, too.

@Tidus Thank you~ I am interested in ENSO and PDO. Polar climate seems like a very hot topic in the next few years. Professors doing this research have a lot of funding. There are great chances in polar climate, I should notice that and try to know more about it before my application. However, it's too late now.

Are you applying to atmospheric sciences at UW? I'm visiting now so might have some insight. The bad news is that I get the impression they sent out all their offers a while ago. A tiny possible bit of good news is that from personal experience it's possible to not be in that batch and get still an offer if something new develops with funding (I was accepted only around a week ago). Good luck
Wow, first of all, congratulations! It's one of the top programs in our domain. In the application system, it says: The program to which you applied expects to make their admissions decisions by early April. And they haven't replied my email that ask for the application status.
May I know your research interest? I wish to start my future research on Mesoscale Meteorology or Physical Climate. Would you like to share some information about these as part of the UW program? Thank you.

@geophys Rice accepts people as they cycle through visits and as offers get turned down, probably why they're still going through a list and not sending final words yet. Hope survives until a letter is received!
@sjoh197 lol don't worry, I was accepted to Wisconsin, and it still says "pending" there...not like I didn't hear back on Jan 24th
@Eita1989 UCSB had a visit weekend last weekend for short listed people I think... :/
@zerozircon one thing I've really been glad I'm asking is how advisors can help me get out quickly (I already have a MS and don't want to wallow too much since I have a decent sense of what I want to do). Also does the POI plan on publishing often, or waiting for fewer but world-class papers? How much structure is there in defining projects? You want freedom but also not to be 3 years in still without ideas, for example. Etc. Not having been as proactive previously is honestly why I feel so lucky that I ended up with a good masters advisor who's got a good balance of advising and being hands off, and who's helping me get my stuff out there (published) and quickly so I can be out the door on to better things. Also the lab vibe and current grad students are key: you'll work most with them really, and they're you're future collaborators. Speaking of, make sure the advisor has a plan for you to define a new direction: you don't want to come out and fight them for money for identical problems solved by additional methods! (Yay marketability lol). Anyway, my $0.02!
Thank you for the information. I sent two emails to the department admission officer and they haven't replied. It hurts.

I haven't received anything from anywhere I applied either and it's starting to stress me out
I applied for 10 programs, most in California. Until now, 1 offer, 1 interview, 1 campus visit invitation (I think it's another interview).
But I haven't received anything from the other 7 programs. I wrote emails to UW and UCSB since I saw someone has already been admitted on this website. No reply…… I feel anxious now

There is so little information on the web about those atmospheric science programs.

Today a professor at Arizona State emailed me to set up a phone interview to talk about my interests and experience. I didn't mention this professor in my SOP, but he's involved in some projects that look interesting, though not exactly what I've envisioned myself doing. Regardless, I'm pretty excited.

I am also curious about this. I had an interview last week and my interest is urban environment and atmospheric research.

I don't know much about the program. But Irvine is a perfect city for me. Most importantly, the city is very safe, unlike the surrounding of USC.
