SDC. Came out at the end of February / beginning of March. On visit day, they said they only admit about 40 students and there were about 20 admits there. Then on graduate engineering diversity day there were about 20 different admits than the ones I saw on visit day. If you haven't gotten an update, they may be waiting for the original admits to reject admittance in order to offer you their original spot (waitlisted).

Applied for PhD program and interviewed, didn't get in but was offered a (funded!) masters position by my potential advisor because of my lack of super substantial research experience. Will be able to apply to transfer for PhD after 1 year. And yes, that is my gpa! I went to a school with grade deflation and have a pretty stellar CV. Any chats for future Stanford Earth students? Would love to meet y'all!

Hi, ignore the waitlist. Has anyone here heard any updates from Stanford? Mine was submitted in Nov 2021, and my portal is still showing "Complete." I even do not know if I am put on the waitlist or not. or does it mean an informal rejection? is there anyone facing the same situation as mine? It would be highly appreciated if you have any information from this institution! THANK YOU!
