Graduate School Admission Results

Ignore waitlist. Has anyone heard back from Stanford ICME?

I received this, perhaps a generic rejection- Regretfully we must inform you that we are not able to grant you admission to the PhD program in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University. Although your academic credentials are certainly outstanding, the large size and excellent quality of this year's applicant pool for our graduate program required us to deny admission to many qualified students such as yourself. We are a relatively small department in terms of faculty size, and we take great measures to ensure that we can adequately supervise all of our admitted graduate students, which can only be accomplished by limiting admissions to the program.

Interviewed with POI I listed in my SoP.

Who else has a virtual interview in March? If anyone wants to prep together, here's an invite code for Disc.: pE5rWmWjDF.

Virtual interview in February

My PI is friends with two professors on adcom. Best gift for Christmas!

Can not believe it, I am beyond excited. Interview will be in person.

Emailed the CEE dept for the SDC admission result. Seems that they have not had the final decision, and it might spread until May. FIY, hope that we got it soon ?Thank you for your email. Please be assured that your application was received, and we do still have decisions pending. However, we are unable to speculate when the admissions committees might issue a decision on any single application. SDC in particular has an evaluation process than can run later than others, even into May. Once a decision has been made, the decision letter will be posted to your applyweb account, and you will be notified by email.""

ignore wl? no interview/rejection...

(Ignore WL). Does anyone know when Stanford will notify students that are still on its waitlist?

Accepted to top 5 PhD program

Omg I got off the waitlist!!!

Any idea on the likelihood of getting off the Stanford waitlist? :)

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).

Finally got the dreaded status update! Heartbreaking to get rejected :(. 6a/5r/1p (which also is most likely a reject)

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!
