I'm in the same boat, guys. Chose yesterday school A over school B. Feeling so bad =( At some point I happy that all this torture finally ended, but I had to tell a nice professor from school B who tells me "I'm lucky to get your application, you are so interesting candidate!" that I chose different school...OMG that's the hardest experience ever! =*( When I wrote him email (I couldn't call...I'd be cried I guess...) explaining situation, he emailed me back " School A is lucky to get you!" I just cried...it's too emotional for me!
I'm still doubtful that I made a right choice, and I won't regret. But thinking again about the whole reasons I had to choose school A, I think it seems a right decision...I guess I need a couple weeks for recovery now... -
Any news? =)
I emailed to WSU, but they told me that they are still considering...It's almost 15th of April!!! -
Try to email professors if they still have positions in their labs, they can give you funding.
-
I'm in similar situation. I got a lot of accepts but only one with funding for a year in OSU. Also, I'm in ECE! UW looks that not giving me funding, I even retook English test for them...nothing works for them. Right now, I have a choice - OSU fully funded or UW not funded. =( Don't know what to do...really...
What's the purpose to give acceptance without funding for phd program in engineering? -
I submitted CV as well, but they didn't ask.
-
At last, I heard from the graduate school. It still technically wasn't an acceptance, but I had applied to 2 programs (one of which I haven't heard from), and the graduate school needed to know if I wanted to withdraw my application from the second department, because they couldn't go forward with official admission until I selected one program to be admitted to.
Hmm.. interesting... I applied in two departments as well here. I got acceptance from EE, but didn't hear a word from ME. I think that's why I didn't get official acceptance letter as well.

Thanks for the info! Everything I've read about Corvallis has been really good, and the Pacific Northwest in general is really appealing to me as someone who loves the outdoors. I'm glad that OSU impressed you... I graduated from a tiny school for undergrad (about 2000 students) and I'm getting my masters from an only slightly larger school (10,000 students). The only large school I've seen was Penn State, and I only got to drive by it on the way to a conference haha.
I still haven't heard from the graduate school yet. I'm getting so impatient! I want to start telling people outside of my immediate family that I was accepted, but I don't want to jinx it.
Did you contact with POI or POI contacted with you? Or just got email from Director of the program?
I know that on OSU website, the status is still like Submitted, and nothing else. I got email from the Graduate Program Coordinator from EE department with financial aid offer. That's what I got. POI told me that it's only what you need, just need to sign up and that's it, and you will get an official acceptance letter after that.
Probably you need to contact them regarding of acceptance letter? I'm still confused how it works in OSU. I would advice to contact with the Graduate Coordinator (Adviser) from your Department.
I like know your pain! I'm still waiting for funding decision in UW! =( It's still going and going...
Sorry for English, it's sometimes awful =)
-
@ Robo_Lizard: Congrats on your Oregon admit.
Has anyone heard back from UW ? It seems they will declare their decisions in the next couple of weeks. Any chances that some of these can be admits ?
thanks =)
I'm still fighting for funding at UW. Somehow I passed this awful speaking test with machine. =) haha POI told me that he's working on it...I'm still hoping!!!
Got acceptance from Tufts, with tuition scholarship. I'm gonna decline this one soon, might be somebody else will get it and would be happy. =)
-
I was visiting OSU yesterday! Corvallis is awesome place to live! =)) I knew that it's your top choice, and it seems pretty good in ecology, I decided to write you that I'm impressed of the town and OSU as well! =)) Hopefully, it helps!
-
I got accepted in OSU as well, but didn't get also official acceptance email/letter. However, POI told me that the Graduate School is slowly, it takes for them 1-2 week to send it. I got only financial aid offer for the first year via email.
-
just checked website, still nothing.
-
didn't hear from WSU at all!
But got acceptance to Oregon State. -
Robo_lizard, just curious but who is your POI at UW?
Sam Burden - he is a new professor at UW.
if you were on Visit Days at UW, we might met =))
I got acceptance from NEU but still no funding. Very weird accept from University of Nevada.
Basically, I got some acceptances, but all of them without funding options. I think it's because they want to give me TA, and can't due to low TOEFL speaking subscore.
-
Any news so far?
-
Thanks guys for sharing this information.
-
I applied in Mech Eng (robotics as well) in CMU, but didn't hear anything from them.
-
Well, at some point it's hard to consider PhD acceptance without funding. But I believe that you can get funding after first year. I'm considering this option as well - to get a loan for first year. Specially, if it's a good school and a good program. It's better to have loan for first year than studying in bad school who just gave money.
-
I got acceptance from NEU, just randomly checked websites, didn't get any email.
-
What about Mechanical Engineering in CMU? Anybody got already accept/reject/interview?
-
@ eragon: I am in the same boat as u for UMN. My POI replied saying first round of offers is already given out
@ Robo_Lizard & @ shinyhare: I am still waiting for UW as well. Indeed I have seen quite some admits from UW ECE.
But good to keep in touch with you guys
. So far, I have an admit from ASU. No funding though.I think UW ECE can still accept people and some accepted people could decline their offers. I was invited on Visit Days in UW, on 5-6th of March.
POI from UW contacted with me, told me that because I'm considered as international student (even though I have been living in US for 3 years already) because of my background, I need to pass Versant Speaking Test to get TA, it's the only option to get funding for me. =( It's kind of sad for me, I'm afraid that I'm not gonna pass this test. =((( Basically, I believe without funding it's not an option for me to come to UW. =( But I will try to pass it in any case.
-
Thanks =)) Congrats you too! =)
I guess it's still snow in Boston. I decided to come to UW visit days, kind of nervous too. Do u like to study at UW?
-
I got accepted at UW in PhD in EE, but no funds info. =( POI doesn't have money for me. =(((
I applied as well in Washington State and didn't heard a word from them. I'm waiting mostly for UC Davis, UC Irvine, Oregon State and Washington State decisions. -
It's almost March already!!!

I'm 29. =)
