Hello, I have applied to the Mechanical Engineering Masters program for Fall 16 at University of Wisconsin Madison. After applying I noticed that I had to secure an advisor, So I emailed 3 POIs (whom I've named in my SOP) that I am interested in their work, neither of them replied but my advisor requirement got checked off (though I don't know who my advisor is). Is that a good thing? does it mean a good chance of getting admitted? Also I did not see an option in the application form to upload my CV or resume, so naturally I did not submit it but my status shows that they have all the materials they need to make a decision. How can they judge a profile without a resume? How am I supposed to let them know about my projects, papers or work experience (kinda the backbone of my application)? Wisconsin Application process for Mechanical Engineering is pretty WEIRDDD!! -
Does anybody have any insight into what the culture of the program at Wisconsin is like now that they have switched to smaller cohorts/guaranteed funding? I realize that in the past Wisconsin has been characterized as overly competitive since funding was not guaranteed. If they had not made the change, I would be wary of attending their program. However, since the change was recently instituted in the Fall of 2011, I'm not sure what to expect if I did enroll. Anybody have any insight or ideas about what to expect?
