Hey applicants,
I got some questions for you! Can you help me?
1) How can I know if a school has a rolling admission policy or not?
2) Do you know schools having it?
3) I submitted everything, but deadlines are all after January 1st.. Do I need to wait until they are passed or can I hope to receive an answer soon?
BTW, I'm applying for a master's degree in Engineering.
I'm waiting some of my transcripts to be delivered.. Every application finished. Do you know how much I need to wait for a MS in Engineering since I completed quite early apps (deadlines are Jan-Feb)?
According to USNEWS:
University Cost (Ranking in Engineering) (Ranking in Electrical Eng)
CMU 61k $ (6) (7)
Wisconsin 41k $ (15) (14)
Duke 56k $ (33) (31)
My opinion?
WISCONSIN-MADISON.
I submitted 5 apps and I'm going to submit 2 more.
I'm missing LORs from one professor and transcripts (need to send 'em).
I think I'll know something not before the end of February!
I think you should definitely try for PhD if your ultimate goal is to obtain it, even because MS are not usually funded. Your GRE and TOEFL are very good.
It depends if you are an international applicant or not. What was your undergrad institution?
That GPA doesn't seem that high for Berkeley.. But anyway a reach in the pot is welcome!
Hi unsure grad,
I think that Purdue has very good connections in aerospace industry: it has one of the biggest department in the nation and it's also better ranked than UCLA (according to USNews).
I think that if the tuition and expenses difference is really high go for UCLA with no esitation. Otherwise I'd consider moving to Indiana.
I have a question:
how about UC Davis? How's there Aerospace MS?

Hey guys I need a help:
I need to decide where to apply.. Here some info:
Program: MS Aerospace
Nationality: Italian
GPA: 3.2
TOEFL: 91
GRE:450+750+4.0
1 Paper Submitted, 4 months research thesis
Where to apply?
I thought:
Purdue
Texas A&M
Penn State
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UFL
Missouri
Alabama
What do you think?!
Obviously funds are largely welcome.. Other realistic possibilities?
Thank you so much!
Seems really strange.. Especially on te Quantitative: 640 verbal must be around 6-7 mistakes on 30; 680 quantitative around 4-5 of mistakes on 28.. This is according to my Barrons GRE book.
Are you sure about both stats?
If so I really don't know!
If you are not looking for a PhD research doesn't matter at all.
I will accept the funded offer since it's highly ranked. Top 10 or Top 20 don't change a lot, we're there the same.
Cracking the GRE seems quite good. Personally I'm studying on the Barron's.
Do lots of those math exercises available on almost every book. That 370 even if you're applying to Anthropology could hurt your app.
Doing all the ex on a good book will lift you at least at 500 quantitative.
My experience:
At the beginning I was at 380v+710q. Now after few weeks of studying and after having memorized some words I scored 430+740.
Practice, practice, practice!
I also found something about the financial aid of departments:
Georgia Tech: 202 students (both MS and PhD), 185 students supported with Fellow, TA and RA.
WVU: 35 students, 24 supported.
UC-Davis: 137 students, 98 supported.
UH: 74 students, 55 supported.
UIUC: 88, 83 supported!!!!
Is that possible? Realistic?
I hope so!
Hi there,
I was looking on the Peterson's website http://www.petersons.com and I focused on the admission percentage statistics in Aerospace Engineering.
They seem quite really strange so I will post them:
Stanford 75% admitted!!!
UIUC 49%!!
Ann Arbor MI 62%!!!!!
UMinn 52%!
USC 77%!!!!!
Purdue 75%!!!!!
Am I dreaming?!
