JetPlane_the Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 @meghan_paleoclimate I've been accepted to OSU about a week ago. Seems like the process is going on. By the way, is there a reorganization of policy going on in the States? I hear a lot of POIs saying "I'm sorry, we're still waiting on the fund" or would it just be a polite way of rejecting me

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. Thank you for your reply! (:
wandering95 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 March is coming around real soon and I haven’t heard from a bunch. It’s really nerve wrecking and exhausting. But all the best to everyone! I hope replies come out these 2 weeks! Ronnygeologist 1
surface4 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Received rejection from U Washington Atmospheric Sci as well as post-interview acceptance to Stanford ESS this week. Also, informal rejection from Columbia EES/LDEO after reaching out to POI. He said he will not be taking new students this year because the department can only accept a limited total number of students each year and they decided to let younger faculty who are growing their labs have priority in recruiting students. I'm happy to have 5 programs to choose from! Edited February 28, 2018 by surface4 Victor Awosiji 1
yves23 Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited March 1, 2018 by alabama23

Joey Kang Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Hi Everyone! Has anyone heard from MIT, CU Boulder, VT and UC Riverside?

They are having major funding problems this year but it would be a great program join! I definitely can't swing it without funding though If you hear anything can you let me know? I’m also waiting on UW Madison. At this point I just want to hear something.
wandering95 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Hi guys, some updates here! I just got rejected from mit-whoi (expected but still hurts lol) and a MSc of Geography from LSU. 1.5a/1r/4w. If anyone has updates from Columbia, Brown for paleoclimate/ oceanography, I’ll be grateful. Thanks and all the best to all! Ronnygeologist 1

Also looking for further life signals from Columbia/MIT/Brown/Purdue/Penn State/Georgia Tech.... XD

wandering95 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Hi! Has anyone heard back from GaTech/Brown? I'm thinking if I should email them this coming week to ask about the progress of my application as I have one school that requires me to give a reply ASAP as I'm currently given funding that would go to someone else if I choose to reject the school. However, I told myself that I would only decide once either school gets back to me due to some personal reasons. But I am afraid that if I push, they may very well reject me instead? Anyway, it's this late into the game. Should I expect total rejections from my last 3 schools? Thanks for any advice!
dataseis Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Has anyone heard back from University of Oklahoma?
geoundergrad Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 is it a bad thing I haven't heard anything from any of the schools I applied to yet? feel like it's getting really late in the process to hear nothing

It will mostly depend on the types of schools you applied to. In general, R1 schools have mostly sent out offers, they aim to get their first picks and are in competition with other R1 schools. R2 and below are still pretty much game. There are other factors that contribute to the decision making process, including school size, funding, etc.. Of course, this is pretty broad. If you are in contact with your POI you may want to contact them for a brief check-in by the end of the week. Any others in the forum got any thoughts on this? Ronnygeologist 1

In general, it means you are on at least an unofficial waitlist, they don't want to drop you just yet but they don't have the slots for you. I know of some universities waiting until April 15th to send rejections while others are a little less insidious and are honestly trying to see if someone is rejecting their offer. One case I know is a guy who was accepted in early on but wasn't told until April because they forgot to tell him! Email professors and see where you are at, better to know now and at least show some interest in their program, that's how I just learned I am waitlisted at Baylor. TheClasyWaggon 1

cavalior7005 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 @meghan_paleoclimate Me too! No worries though, I'm sure it's for the best

student_s Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 UT and Colorado mines said that they will continue to review applications until the end of March. I am getting nervous about not hearing til now. Does anyone have additional information?
