Just got accepted to UCSD's structural program for master's and PhD! Though I didn't apply for a PhD. Pretty excited but worried about funding. FelipeChilean, where did you see the PhD result from UCSD? I don't see it in the results.

I called. Wanted to remain a little more anonymous than sending an email in case they get irritated

No I just asked when decisions will be released. I definitely considered asking about my status but I was scared too haha. Couple weeks ago the ad office said PhD decisions would be released last week but I didn't see anything on the results search, so I just hope they actually send out master's decisions this week like she said. I'm also nervous about funding since it's apparently pretty rare for master's at UCSD

FelipeChilean, no I haven't yet. Just spoke to the admissions office and they said master's acceptances will be out this week. Good luck! Have you been in contact with any faculty there?

If anyone has applied to UCSD, their grad admissions office said they'll send out PhD decisions within the week and master's within 2 weeks. UIUC said most of their decisions are made in March and some in early April.

UCSD has a pretty good program (I'm not sure what their rank is) though they focus on different things than most schools. Since they're so close to Boeing's facility, they do a lot of structural research of composites for aviation. UCSD also has a heavy amount of research in structural design though, with a focus in earthquake engineering.

Hate to ask...but can someone post rankings for Structural (or Civil) Engineering if possible? Thanks!

Let's liven up this thread again! I've only applied to 3 schools for a masters program: UW-Madison, UIUC, and UC-San Diego. Overall GPA: 3.76/4.00 GRE: 160(V), 160(Q), 4.50 Experiences: 2 full time summer internships, one of which lead into the school year part time for the past 2 years 1 semester as a TA in structural analysis 1 semester of research I haven't heard back from any of my schools yet...I'm getting pretty nervous since UIUC has already started accepting masters students, and I didn't get invited to visit the campus :/
