Civil&Environmental Engineering Fall 2019 Applicants
ibtes replied to EricWang98's topic in Engineering
It depends... I'm currently at Berkeley as a master in transportation. Last year my offer + funding letter was received on March 9. It's still early so probably funding is on its way. -
Master's Decisions Impacting Doctoral Prospects
ibtes replied to neo12's topic in Decisions, Decisions
Probably not. I declined a master's offer last year and was accepted to their PhD this year. -

Interesting that you got an interview from MIT. I think historically they don't interview. You probably have a good shot! -

Civil & Environmental Engineering - Fall 2018 Applicants
ibtes replied to strawberrykat's topic in Engineering
I saw a lot of structural engineering rejections today. I applied for MST (Transportation). I don't see any MST posts in the results page. A friend who also applied for that program told me that he received a waitlist email at noon, but I still got nothing... I don't even know what to expect now. I just want this to be over.- 209 replies

MST applicant here. I think MS and PhD are in the same situation now. Emailed them and they said that decision should be sent this or next week. Edit: i think it’s more likely to be the next week since we are almost done with this week...- 209 replies

I think you said that MIT admitted you for MEng. If you want to pursue PhD in the future, wouldn't you need an MS?- 209 replies

@strawberrykat I will probably attend Berkeley. Final decision will be after the visit day. If MIT finally worked out and offered funding then I would probably go there.- 209 replies

No... this clause is generic. It just means that they could rescind the offer if you somehow decided to drop out of school this semester and not finishing your bachelor's degree. So, no worries!- 209 replies

Quick Question: Is the MEng Degree a Master Degree (US)
ibtes replied to poboy's topic in Engineering
It is a master's degree. It's not an "academic" degree but instead a professional one (like MBA)... They are all master's degrees. In terms of immigration category, MEng is treated the same as MS. -
Civil & Environmental Engineering - Fall 2018 Applicants
ibtes replied to strawberrykat's topic in Engineering
I saw a post on the results page regarding MIT CEE. Apparently someone called them and got this information: "Our admissions committee is making their final decisions within the next 1-2 weeks. We have been notifying applicants of their decisions as soon as a decision has been reached on their application." Well, it seems that this year they are very procrastinating and we may not get any decision soon...- 209 replies

I agree, but I just can’t stop myself from refreshing the portal. And it always says “Congratulations your application is complete!” When I first saw this message in January I actually got excited, but then realized that it was not a congratulation for admission.- 209 replies
