Did you apply for MS or MS/PhD?

Congrats omega!!! Do you mind sharing your profile?

Congrats!!! How did your recruiting weekends go?

Finally some good news. I got accepted with a full scholarship in Fire Safety Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

lol. Don't believe everything you see on the Results tab...

I really have no idea what are their ad stats. I applied to the MIT too. As far as Stanford concerns - $125 app fee?!!! They should be first to announce decisions!

I didn't hear about any admits in Structures.. I think every branch handles their own admission process, so I guess there must be someone in charge. I know that Dr Stojadinovic had something to do with it last year or a couple of years ago... Btw, I was told that Structures group usually receives about 350 applications, and they admit only around 50 students each year...

Well, it might be that Cornell desires students in Applied Sciences because their Structural program is focused mainly on Computational Mechanics, etc. When I informed my US adviser (who graduated at Cornell) about this rejection, he wasn't surprised at all. His comment was smth like "Yeah, I am concerned about Cornell. They had a major faculty turnover recently.." Even though I would prefer an acceptance from Cornell, I can't say I'm stressed about getting a rejection.

I got a rejection from Cornell yesterday.

No, I contacted Graduate secretary. They are probably waiting for professors to receive funding so they can offer assistantship to the certain number of admitted students. I guess they sent out admission offers only to domestic PhD candidates they wanted the most (and who were granted a fellowship). That is my reasoning... Btw, does anyone know which professor is in charge for admission at Berkeley? Dr Stojadinovic maybe?

I guess so.. When I asked "why so late", I got this reply: "This is the date that most students will get a reply about their application. This is the typical time frame for decisions."

I just wrote to UMN to inquire about the status of my application, and I got a reply that I will hear about it around mid April?!!!! They must be joking with me... They mailed out some decisions already, so it doesn't make any sense...

Anyone applied to Erasmus Mundus IMFSE (International Master of Science in Fire Safety Engineering)? I got an interview invite yesterday, so I'm super nervours...

hey, let's try to keep this thread Structures-related. There is another topic devoted to Transportation Engineering...

Congratulations phunky! Things are looking good for you! I really do hope to hear something in the next couple of weeks. Waiting is killing me...
