Oh GOD! They are rejecting everyone!
No news here anyway -
Hey all,
I am heading for the Mech. Eng. at UCSB for Fall 2008. Can any1 help me with some info regarding Santa Barba and UCSB itself ? Thanks

Hi all,
Jus one question. Some schools give out MS/PHD programs. Does this mean that if you are accepted to it you should continue till the end of PHD ? Or you are allowed to wihdraw from school simply after receiving MS degree ? I have such an offer and want to make sure before I accept or deny the offer. Thanks to all who collaborate!

Hey all,
I am also still waiting for my UCB results to be out. The only reason makes me hope still is the fact that they may be waiting for some of applicants to deny acceptance after which they can offer to some few remaining in their waitlist. I dont really know if they have such a "waitlist" or so, but lets hope this is the case since its our last chance to get into it. By the way my research interest is in the field of CFD and Hydrodynamic Stability.

Hey all! It seems like I am also heading for UCSB in Mech. Eng. for Fall 2008! any recommendation ? where to live at the dorms or ...? I have heard that they are just making a totally Graduate dorm for 2008 entrance named San Clemente. How how does it fell to live on or off campus ?

Looking for advice, also. Illinois or Stanford for PhD in Civil ? Much better funding at IL. Finances would be very tight at Stanford given high COL. Illinois is one of the top programs just like Stanford. Is there any reason to pick Stanford other than name and location ? Thanks for this consideration.
I dont really know about the Civil Eng. But if the same had happend to me I would definately choose Stanford. The important point is to look at the universities and see which one is stronger in your major in Civil. For example in my major in Mech. Eng., which is Fluid Dynamics, Stanford is definately # 1 in the world so I would choose that. Besides another important point, to me at least, is the endowment each university has. Regarding Stanford it is about 17-18 Billions, while UIUC has about 2-3 Billions. So you see it seems that Stanford has the potential to support its students. Finally note that the university name is just like a Brand, accompaying you till the end of your academic life. So I suppose Stanford would be the better choice.
PS: However you should make sure that its fund is just enough for a good living since CA is an expensive place to live you know

Nope .... at the gradcafe we have only heard of few acceptances yesterday - MS/Phd and Phd.
Seems like they will first get the acceptances out by the end of the day today . I was told by the dept secretary that they usually get the rejects out later, once all the acceptances have been informed. They will be sending out 700 rejects and 80 acceptances. :!:
OMG!!!! 700 VS. 80 !!!!!!!!! I applied for the PhD. is it more or less probable to get acceptance compared to MS ?!?!?
-
I have been in touch with them on a regular basis and also being following the gradcafe results page. The dept says that they have been sending out decisions and hope to get everything out by Friday ....... I am wondering that if they have been sending out decisions, how come now even one person from gradcafe got it.
Personally I am pretty convinced that they accept their own Ms students into the PhD program and hence almost everyone applying from outside gets rejected. Any suggestions or if anyone has something new to add, please feel free.
Well Mariner I guess Berkeley will finish their final round of acceptances this week and send out the rejections next week. I was rejected by Cornell today, although they did slap me in the face with an unfunded M.Eng offer. Perhaps I will decline a national federal phd scholarship and fellowship offers from other schools to take them up on it........Hey all. As Mariner told, they are going to send out results by this friday! I also called the dept. and they told me the same. Well I dont really think they are going to accept their own students and reject others!!! The only point, which has made the situation very hard, is that no word is heard from the applicants, even rejection. So you can not say " Hey I have not been rejected yet so I have chance!". I really hope that this one is not gonna disappoint me since I already got rejected from 2 of my best choices, i.e Brown and Cornell. If Berkeley is also gonna reject me I gonna die! So lets hope we meet eachother at Berkeley soon!

Hey all,
I plan to study Applied Math with a major in Computational Science (Computational Fluid Dynamics is my current major as Mechanical Eng. Student). I have applied to Brown University but no more school this year and I am waiting for the results. I don't actually know if get admitted but these are my records:
GPA (Mech. Eng.): 3.83
GRE V: 470
GRE Q: 800
GRE AW: 3.5
TOEFL iBT: 113 (647 PBT)
So should I have any hope at all ? By the way. Anyone here studying or applied to Brown ? Any news ?

Hey guys.
Does any1 know about the expenses and living situation, safety or any other important thing, about Vancouver ?

Actually I am sure I want to get a PhD. However my point is to get from UCSB or try again after getting a Masters from UBC so I might go to a better school
