  1. May I ask how would everyone compare Berkeley and Stanford in terms of their programs in computational geomechanics? I have been admitted to both MS programs but applied to both for a PhD program at first. Since I am working towards a PhD degree, which one will offer more research opportunities and be more suitable to acquire such trainings? Also, what will the chances of getting into a PhD program after graduating from these two programs (either stay at the same uni or apply to another one)?

    Many thanks in advance!

    I am an international student awaiting a result from Stanford. I have noticed people getting their decisions since the start of last  week (21st Feb). There seems to be a virtual visit on March 5th for Stanford. Is it true that all decisions are made before that?

    I suppose different tracks have different decision time. But I really don't know whether all results will be sent out in one batch and before the virtual visit day. There is a discord I found on grad cafe results page https://discord.gg/es9bU5ES where you may find people applied to the same track as you.

    Already received Berkeley GeoSystems offer! Gd luck

    I also applied to the GeoSystems but haven't heard from them yet. My degree goal in the application is PhD and I am wondering if they will offer me a MS instead. Which degree program did you apply for?

    Normally they have sent out MS offer by now but this year is very different... I can't say for sure when but I don't think it will be too long before they sent out. Regarding the second question, it really depends on your research interest and the corresponding funding opportunity. From what I know of, most of the master student (if not all) who really wish to transfer to a PhD program managed to do that, some take only a quarter, some takes more.

    Thank you so much for replying!

    Hi there, master student @ Stanford CEE, currently applying to PhD at Princeton, PennState, WUSTL, Yale and CMU. Got interviewed from Princeton last week, from PennState this week. Also got a phd invitation from my advisor at Stanford. Happy to answer any MS application questions or questions about transferring to PhD track from MS track at Stanford CEE.

    Sorry for digging out a reply a year ago... I am applying to Stanford CEE with final degree goal of a PhD as an undergraduate. I got an interview on 15th from one professor and was told to expect an MS offer (probably without funding). Do you know when will they send out official offer? How difficult would you say for a MS student to join a research group and transfer to a PhD program during the terms of study?

    Many thanks!

  6. I have seen most admissions coming in Feb. in past years and rejections on March. I suppose it's because those in the waiting list has lower chances in getting a place. I hope there is an overall delay due to the pandemic. The wait is indeed exhausting with 2 rejections in hand =(
