ttpb: Not the person you are referring to, but sorry for confusing you with the interview tag. I was accepted without interview. I don't think they do interviews.

To the UW rejected below, how would you know that you are rejected? Did you have an interview before?

ttpb: disregard the interview tag. the open houses are Feb 26th and March 5th. You had to already RSVP though

TTPB: Congratulations! Which track did you apply for?

Very sad. This is my top choice. I was waitlisted three years ago, and I got a even worse result this time.

No official notice (waiting for funding to be settled) but POI let me know.

Email from the admission committee chair

Would someone comment about when the open house for atmospheric science at UW will be?

Yes, funding is included but details will be provided later. I got an email from the chair of admissions......Excited!

I see some accepted posts. Did it include any funding decision?

Email from Graduate Admissions Director saying "It is possible, and I hope likely, that we will be able to offer you admission to the PhD program with five years of financial support." Offer should come "between now and April 15." Was also asked if I was still interested and invited to a "Meet and Greet Information Session."

Email for informal interview

Yes yes yes

Please reject/withdraw the offer, if you're not interested anymore...

Honored even to be considered. Please, universe!
