MechE2014

I come from a small private school not necessarily highest ranked. I believe research is probably the best way to go in order to reach these PhD programs. I did two REUs which I believe helped me out significantly.

Not sure that they interview for Aero, but I have heard they do so for Mechanical. I saw an aero acceptance in the results page and there was no mention of an interview.

It's for the mech department. I just heard from aero saying that they didn't have my official transcript (after I sent it 2 months ago :/ ) I'm debating taking the march interview for Michigan rather than the Feb interview because I have Stanford the week before and Florida the week after and I'd be missing a once a week class for three weeks in a row.

Hey all. So mine was matched for awhile then went to released then held for a while then back to released so not sure what that whole process was about. Best of luck to you all!

None of the above for me :/ For curiosity's sake: what do your employer's status say?
