    For those who have not received any decisions from Umich, this is the response I received from the admission committee regarding the status of my application: 

    "Thank you for your email.  The admissions committee has reviewed your application and no decision has been made.  However, it is not likely that you will be admitted since we received a high number of outstanding applications and have limited openings. Final decisions will be made in late March.  Let me know if you have any questions."

    Did you get info or heard anything on funding decision time-frame for Stevens or have any prior contact with any faculty? Admission letter and E-mail from Department Chair both seemed generic.  And I believe you're talking about CS (POI) at Iowa. I'm interested in Energy & Nanomaterials.

    I was told the fellowship decision is made in March. I guess we're interested in the same area, but I was talking about SM (POI at Iowa).

    I received admission on the the same day at Stevens (Last LOR submitted in 22 Jan) and no word on funding. Who is  your 'faculty advisor' mentioned in the admission letter on application status page? I'm not sure what they mean by 'faculty advisor'. And no news from Iowa as well. I probably wasted $$ by applying there as I don't have computational experience which I'm hearing is their primary area of focus.  

    Prof Kovenkliogu is the faculty advisor. He just advises you on courses you take till you get an actual advisor. He doesn't supervise graduate research.

    I probably wasted $$$ too since the majority of their research is focused on computations. They do have some Profs doing experimental stuff. I'm not confident at all about Iowa since I'm only interested in the one professor that does experimental work in the energy and climate research group. What research are you interested in?

    I mailed the graduate coordinator at UMich. She informed me they have sent the first round of admits. However, the committee will send a very small round of admits again. I guess this is for the waitlisted students, which is sent during April.

    Wow, that's super early for them to have sent all(?)their first round already. I guess they must have sent them in December since that was when I saw some posts on the results page.

    Curious as well. My uni's department (R1) has a fairly even mix of cancer biology, biofuels, catalysis, computational and modeling, materials, polymers, and even process optimization. The one thing my department does not have is electrochemistry (afaik this field is becoming more and more uncommon amongst ChemE departments).

    Amongst applicants, I'd wager the most popular research field would be some form of bio-engineering, whether it be in biomaterials, biocatalysis, protein engineering/therapeutics, and synthetic biology. 

    I tend to feel like Energy research (including PV cells and electrochemistry) is less sought after by applicants. That's the impression I get from being on various forums. I wonder if being interested in a field with less applicants (assuming there are faculty in that area) boost chances in any way.
