I'm also wondering about this. I visited for recruitment weekend, but haven't heard anything from them since (They invited ~22 of us up there, but said only 10-15 are admitted each year.)
Maybe I'm on some sort of unofficial waiting list? All the other schools notified me over a month ago about admission and funding, so UM is frustrating me. I'm getting close to rejecting them even before they let me know.
Thought I'd join. PhD applications sent to:
Northwestern
Michigan
MIT
Berkeley
Texas A&M
Texas at Austin
Penn State
My profile:
GRE: 590V, 800Q, 4.5AW
GPA: 3.96 BSIE, decent IE program but by no means top 10.
1 REU, no papers, no presentations, applied for NSF GRFP
Anyone going to the PSU open house?
