I received an official letter from Princeton and unofficial ones from Columbia and UW.

Congratulations on those acceptances, I'm sure you'll find one you're happy with!

Recieved contact from University of Washington Oceanography and Columbia that I am currently on the waitlist for both programs. Currently 3 waitlists for 3 schools! Hopefully something works out!

Hey surface4! It will be sometime in February. Unfortunately I do not have more specifics than that as well (sadly). I wish you best of luck in the process!

Just got waitlisted at Princeton Geosciences! Email said Adcom thought my app was competitive but unable to offer admissions currently. Does anyone know the likely hood of getting of these waitlists?? Good luck to everyone else!

Undergrad Institution: Columbia UniversityMajor(s): ChemistryMinor(s): Environmental SciencesGPA in Major: 3.66Overall GPA: 3.66Position in Class: Not sure, Dean's list all semester so far?Type of Student: DomesticGRE Scores (revised/old version):Q: 162V: 160W: 4.5Research Experience: 1 year at environmental engineering lab with 2 papers co authored, 1 summer at L'Oreal Cosmetics R&D labs, senior thesis at Columbia in earth science department on paleoceanography researchAwards/Honors/Recognitions: Dean's list every semester, Named Scholar's awardPertinent Activities or Jobs: Volunteered on a farm in Panama one summer through environmental brigades (vice president) sophomore yearAny Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help:Special Bonus Points: Bob Anderson, founder of GEOTRACES is my thesis advisor and is writing my rec letter. I'm a chemistry major so I've taken a lot of chemistry/math courses (gen chem, orgo, pchem, quantum, inorg, calc III, linear, stats), is that a plus? idkAny Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter:Applying to Where:Columbia (Obviously)- Chemical Oceanography Stanford- Earth System's Science UWashington- Chemical Oceanography Princeton- Biogeochemistry Scripps- Marine Chemistry MIT/WHOI- Chemical Oceanography UC Berkeley- Earth Systems Science
