Hey, 

 

I'm one of the admitted Columbia EES students. A PI I didn't list on my application contacted me via email in late January and we had a Skype interview. 

It sounds like they might admit by discipline, since my prospective PI said she was hoping to get many admitted SGT (seismo geophysics tectonics) people to come on the same day, and had already had contact with a few. Don't know why notification time matters, but I received an "unofficial" admit w/funding details at 11:30ish AM and then an "official" admit the next day around 1pm. My early notification might also have to do with funding, though (Dean's Fellowship), so who knows. 

Congratulations! I become nervous after I noticed two acceptances in the last week. Looking forward to hearing from the Atmospheric Science field.

Hey! Congrats! 

I applied under a climate scientist as well. May I know the initials of your POI? 

thank you! 

Thank you! 

Sorry I did not make myself clear. I apply for a new POI studying the hydroclimatology, climate dynamics, etc. I believe he is not the POI you contacted :).

We had a short meeting at the January AMS annual meeting. I guess that's why I got an offer in the early February.

Hey, 

I saw a post on the results page about someone getting accepted to GaTech's Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. 

May I know if anyone has heard anything yet? 

Also, I'm guessing that some decisions are going to be delayed due to the upcoming Ocean Sciences Conference in Portland this week? 

I obtained the offer from GaTech. But I focus on the climate science.

The campus visiting is in early March.

I've now gotten either interviews or acceptances at 5 out of the 7 programs I applied to, and will be visiting some of them in the next few weeks. As to the other two - Washington Atmospheric Sciences and Columbia EES - I was getting impatient so I contacted the departments. Both of them said that while they have issued some acceptances already, they are not done making their admissions decisions.

I am waiting for the Columbia EES too. I saw two acceptances this week. Have you interviewed with the PI? And do you know the time of the last acceptances? Thanks
