heyyyitsme123 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I applied to Stanford, MIT, UCSD, Univ of Washington, and UT Austin. I got invited (via phone) to a visit weekend to UT Austin, but haven't heard back from any of the others. Does anyone know about Stanford? I saw a few admits on the results board and since I heard the visit weekend is in February I figured if I haven't heard by now the results aren't good.

mechapplicant2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I am a Mech. student, however I applied to the MSE program at Gtech and Stanford. If you haven't heard from Stanford, you are rejected by now, since they have given their admissions out already. Although if someone changes his mind you might be considered (this cannot be counted on!!) Anyone heard back from Georgia? I got an email from the program 2 weeks ago asking if I was still interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidamisky Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I was admitted to UCSB, University of Florida, CMU, and UCSD. I haven't heard from Berkeley or Northwestern yet. I was also admitted to UT Austin for electrical engineering, but they haven't told me anything about financial aid / funding yet. Best of luck to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericrusso Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 This is an email that I have from MIT aero-astro administrator. She doesn't work for the MSE department, but you can use it as a guideline. I still haven't heard back from them. As the letter states, they boasted a decision by March 1st. That's 3 days away! I'm getting a bit nervous.... Dear Eric, I'm writing to inform you that your Fall 2012 MIT Aero Astro graduate application is complete and ready for review. We have received all required materials. Your application will now be reviewed by our admissions committee, and you will be notified of your decision no later than March 1, 2012. Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime. Best regards, Beth Marois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
