Hey, I have done my BTech in Mech and my GPA is 3.3. I also have authored 4 publications ( Journal of Aircraft, Aeronautical Journal, Energy Elsevier and ASME, IMECE) dealing with work on Blended wing body aircraft design, synthetic jet actuators. What abt your test scores, mine are (GRE 317/340 : 148 V/ 169 Q TOEFL: 109/120) What was your interview with Dr. Mavris about? Any idea how many people they are admitting this year at ASDL? Whay is it taking so long in my case for the department to respond (almost 5 weeks over). Any advise as to how I can proceed or what can I do ? Thanks

Hi arkansawesome Thank you so much for your reply. Congrats for the admit and your Profile must be really good for you to get a direct call from Dr. Mavris. The lab mentioned that currently they do not have funding and so they have currently accepted the application without funding . When did you get admit to ASDL and how were you informed (I was informed my Ms. Allison Hill). Have you received the official Admit from the University and when did you get that (before or after the lab confirmed and how many days later) . Were you offered RA or TA. I also tried contacting Dr. Mavris via Mail (a few days back) but am still waiting to hear back from him.It would be difficult for me to attend it without funding but Let's hope for the best. Also could you ket me know more about your profile so that I can compare it and Thanks

HI, I have applied to the MS program in Aerospace Engineering at GeorgiaTech and I was informed by ASDL lab (when I asked them about it) that "ASDL has already reviewed and accepted your application without funding. The School of AE is currently looking at your transcript, GRE, TOEFL, letters of recommendation and other supporting documents you submitted. As soon as they okay Dr. Mavris' decision to accept you into ASDL, they will send you a formal offer via email and then regular mail. I would say you should expect to hear from them within the next couple weeks. I will send a follow up email to them asking about the status and let you know as soon as I can. " I got this mail on Feb 18th, 2013 but I still haven't heard back from School of AE. I request all those who hae received admits or are still waiting to hear back from Gatech....what are my chances of getting in? Can we still get rejected after getting recommendation by the departments or Labs. The wait is really killing me? Thanks

Hi Short Long...It was confirmed by ASDL lab at Gatech that I have been accepted to their lab (20th Feb, 2013)....but the decision from School of AE is still pending. I wanted to ask you if this is just a formality after acceptance in the lab for the grad school to approve ? Did something similar happen to you also and have you received the final confirmation from Grad school at Gatech.

Have the results from GeorgiaTech started coming...I have received admits from UIUC and Purdue...still waiting to hear frm GT. Shortlong ...has ur status been updated online at buzzport.

@spacecase618 Congratulations on getting a Funding offer at UMD ....I am also in contact with a Professor X who is interested in my work and has a research proposal under review (in collaboration with another Professor Y). Really hope it pans out. Is it the case that you get admitted in UMD only if you are recommended for admission by the Professor ??

@spacecase618 Any word on funding from Gatech or UMD..... You got admission result Pretty quick, I applied in Mid December but haven't heard back from them yet

I am also waiting for the decision on my ENAE (MS appplication). I was in contact with Mr. Thomas Hurst....who also mentioned that since the Professors review the applications at their own discretion, their is no uniformity in the decision dates. @spacecase618 When did u receive your decision for UMD.

I have a Skype interview scheduled at UIUC Access and Achievement Program . I wanted to find out more about the kind of questions expected for this position if someone has previously applied for a similar interview. The position is basically an GA and the person will have to deal with the student community at UIUC. Any current students in UIUC who can help me figure out more about what is expected from me. My interviewers will be the dean and Assoiciate Dean of LAS UIUC and so I am kind of nervous as being an Mech Engg graduate I have never appeared in such an interview. Any Engg graduates out there who have appeared for interviews related to graduate Employment, graduate assistantships ( non-technical.............basically for funding your technical studies) do share your experiences. Any suggestions, related questions .....please share

@spacecase618......when did u receive admit decisions from UMD and Gatech......(when did u complete the application form)
