[West Lafayette, IN]

Can I consider living as far as wabash shores? See the following link to Google Maps:

Can I get decent transport to the university from here? Whats the student population in this area like? Would you recommend looking for apartments in this area (some of them look pretty nice to me compared to the ones nearest to the campus like Chauncey Hill), considering proximity to say grocery shops, restaurants etc?

Where would you suggest start looking? My current source is only Boilerapartments... any other good source where I can possibly find roommates as well?

Thanks,

[Am I being officially waitlisted?]

New member here.. Got the same mail about a month ago.. on Jan 11th . Contacted a few profs but guess they were already full, so got a negative reply from them.. Mailed a few other profs, but no reply from them at all.. So stopped worrying for now :| . Have to wait till my other schools reply and wait for their decisions..

Anyway got into 3 schools already so im not too tensed right now...

Did you get the same mail about a month ago from ME dept of GaTech itself? And you haven't heard back from any faculty yet? Wow thats not very exciting news for me is it? I guess since its a rolling admission and since I submitted my application just before the Feb 1 deadline, I am hearing about it only now. Dammit one of them's got to mail back with a yes!

What other 3 schools you heard from btw?

At this point I would be hopeful if I were you. Have you contacted any faculty members?

I hadn't been in contact with any of the faculty before I got this mail... but I contacted a potential adviser immediately after the mail

Hi all,

I got the following letter from admissions co-ordinator of Georgia Tech for MS in ME:

We are in receipt of your application to the Woodruff School of Mechanical

Engineering at Georgia Tech. You have a very strong file and great

credentials. Thank you for your interest in Georgia Tech!

You have not been offered admission, but at the present time your file has

been made available for viewing by the faculty of the Woodruff School via an

internal web page. If a faculty member views your file and expresses an

interest in working with you, we will notify you and continue to process

your application. This evaluation will continue until July 1, 2008 and we

will advise you of our decision at the latest by that date.

In the meanwhile, if you receive another admission and financial aid offer

and need to make an earlier decision, please inform us and we will try to

expedite the consideration of your application.

Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

Sincerely, Dr. Wayne Whiteman

Does this mean that a first list of admits has already been made and I am not a part of it.. or does this look like a default procedure for all likely candidates? Do they use any different language when conveying that you have been waitlisted, not admitted?

Its not that this has got me sweating or anything... just wanted to know what others think
