Saw someone posted they got into Duke on the results page. Does anyone know if they are still admitting students or when is their visit day? That’s one of my top schools and still waiting, probably for rejection
Hey. I am waiting for Duke too. Till now haven't heard back from them. Whom did you choose as POI?

Wtf? Is that common--pre-app screening--in chemistry?
The more time I spend on this site, seeing people get rejected after having promising interactions with faculty, makes me think that there's a culture around not pre-rejecting applicants in order to make a few bucks on app fees. Even if people are obviously not a fit. This is different from your case, which seems more objective and just generally shady. I mean those of us who had actual conversations with people who empowered us to apply.
Maybe everyone else will see this comment and think "uh, duh, pyramidstuds, how naive are you?!" but I'm reflecting back on my pre-application exchanges, and also the fact that it just makes sense. At least with this Cornell experience, my POI did tell me ahead of time they were accepting a tiny cohort, and also, she nudged me towards others who may be a better fit than she.
Being rejected after promising interactions with faculty pretty common. I had a very positive interaction with one of the Profs at TAMU. He was very positive although he was doubtful about the funding. But he did assure that he would come up with something by Jan.
End result: Rejected. Apparently, the admission committee found me not 'competitive' enough compared to other candidates.

Anybody have updates??? I'm still waiting to hear from the University of Wisconsin Madison...
Recently got more acceptances and some mention funding which makes me realize I really don't understand much about funding packages lol.
Nothing from Wisconsin Madison. They have been always notoriously late in their decisions as I gather from the results section here

had a skype interview with a Prof. in UIUC (Environmental Engineering). The results (PhD) may come out by the first week of March.

Are you a domestic applicant? Were you notified about the visit through Email?

Hi. I am an Environmental Engineer from India with a Masters degree in Env. SCI & Engg. from IIT Bombay and with an undergraduate degree in Civil Engg. I am applying for PhD in Atmospheric sciences to various universities in the US. These include University of Washington, Texas A&M, UIUC, UCLA. I want to work exclusively on aerosols and cloud physics. Can somebody suggest if I am being too ambitious by applying to these universities given my profile. I am giving a brief overview of my profile here:
gre : quant 161 verbal 162 awa 3
Masters gpa 9.05/10
Research experience: *summer research fellowship by indian academy of sciences at Indian institue of sciences on aerosols
