Well, I guess it is quite over now, these are my outcomes. Hope it is helpful for people in the coming years.

I was curious when you were going to visit. If you have already visited, has prof. Andrade indicated when the decisions go out? and did he give you an offer?

That's the life man, choosing between these three! I sure hope and am quite sure you will achieve that dream... seriously if they're not gonna take you, who will they take! I sure could use some contact at Harvard.

Results for Caltech have not gone out yet... I think we will here something after March.

Congrats! Although it is quite obvious you will be admitted to all of them. So which one will you choose? Caltech, MIT or Harvard?

I called the MSE student service dept. The UCSD program was Mechanical engineering.

Yes! I called them and they said they have already sent out the admission and the rest are rejected... if anything changes they will inform you.

I don't think so.... but I would check the results section of gradcafe to see the results of the universities you have applied to.

I am a Mech. student, however I applied to the MSE program at Gtech and Stanford. If you haven't heard from Stanford, you are rejected by now, since they have given their admissions out already. Although if someone changes his mind you might be considered (this cannot be counted on!!) Anyone heard back from Georgia? I got an email from the program 2 weeks ago asking if I was still interested.

Congrats on the Caltech man! You have great stas. I hope you get a good offer! You are going for Prof. Andrade's group right? Haha... and I thought I had a chance at it!! I guess I should assume Caltech as a reject.

2 Rejects up to now I really don't know... I think I aimed to high!

Guys, if we haven't heard from Caltech does it mean it's a reject?

Nature!! Science!! Just a journal paper Well you have some good guarantees in your application list, like Notre Dame and Case West! How is your Resume, maybe you can put it in the application list, so other can also compare:

Good luck to you too man! I am dying of anticipation as of now! Hopefully it is going to be Stanford or Caltech!

I have applied to several universities and I can't concentrate on my current work My mind keeps wandering off to what the results will be?! I had some correspondence with the faculty members of the Universities and I only got encouragements that my research background is suitable for their program and ... Based on your experience, what chances will I have guys?
