Also of note is that the yield rate jumped significantly last year (roughly from 50% in years prior to 70%). Stanford will probably admit slightly fewer students this year..

To the poster below asking about POI interviews for GSE, I have not received an invitation yet either.

To the posters who got into the Stanford Earth System Science and shared the stat, Thank you very much for sharing the stats! Did you talk to the professors before you submitted your application or did you just send the application right through the admission? Thanks again!

Got a call from a faculty member giving congrats (faculty I was interested in). The official letter will come out soon. Chem Background with heavy Math. 3 years of research in academia and industry (all roughly related to my choice of field). Tons of community service and outreach. Good luck to everyone out there! :)

Official letter to come after the break

Email from PI wanting to discuss the possibility of joining their lab for PhD

Has anyone heard anything from POI for any of the GSE PhD programs?
