Its been a rough day...three straight rejections and only one offer with no funding. Thanks, Stanford for being the most expensive application process, but accepting students with 3.7 GPA and 150-something verbal Gre scores. makes sense to me.... Sorry if salty, rough day. Gpa is MA

My program is the Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology (EFMH), not the Environmental Engineering and Science (EES). By the way, I late received the admission due to incomplete transcripts and TOEFL score reports. As I know, the decision of my application was made in about mid-March.

To the posters below, I contacted them, and they told me that "order official ..." is a new platform, which will be used in future. So, we do not need to do anything else, and they will review our applications with the documents we have already sent. Also, due to some staff changes, they could not email everybody regarding those progress notifications.
