I see we are not numerous who are going to UCSB

What's up guys?! So where's everyone headed this fall? I'm still trying to decide between two schools.

 

What schools are you thinking about, if not a secret?

Most likely UCSB too

To those of you who were admitted to Berkeley, did they say anything that would indicate all of their offers have been sent out?

 

I was not admitted into Berkeley, and even I didn't apply for ME in Berkeley, but I had a short email correspondence a few days ago with two faculty members of another department and they said me that usually all decisions are made in January and February

Hi,

 

I have almost the same offer, or maybe exactly the same offer, - something about $2k/month. Since I am literally from the opposite side of the Earth, I don't know how much it is for the life in SB (and in other parts of America as well), but as far as I know it is a typical funding package for American graduate students.

There is another thing I am wondering about - I am confused a bit about university rankings: while Times (20 in Eng&Tech worldwide) and phds.org (5-16 in ME) rank UCSB pretty high and USN places it on 26 in ME and on 19 in Eng (which also seems not bad) - QS ranks it only as 151-200 in mechanical engineering.

MIT sent another bunch of mails - got rejection. Dreams about top school are gradually breaking

[PhD in Mechanical Engineering Fall 2014]

Nope.. heard nothing yet from Princeton.. I kept waiting the whole day.

Check your mail now. I've just got a letter - expected rejection

[PhD in Mechanical Engineering Fall 2014]

Hi all

 

So... waiting for the letter... 

 

 

Me too........ so I can know about funding...................

 

So, have you received anything?
