Can't believe Michigan Tech rejected me!!!

I received a rejection letter from Indiana U- Bloomington. The reason: Limited Funding!

Has anyone heard back from Yale? Either interview or admission?

Hello, Thanks so much for your response. Yes. In fact, my programs are in public health schools at these universities and I have used SOPHAS system for application. My major concern is about my B.Sc GPA. It is considered relatively good in Mechanical Engineering, but I am not sure whether it could compete with GPAs in the field of biomechanics. Also I couldn't find information regarding university rankings in biomechanics. Hence, I am not sure whether my CV is good enough for my chosen universities. Bests, Arash
