I applied for the EnvEng PhD program and got into the MS program. No mention about funding, but they offered to reimburse some expenses for the visit day. edit: left out some info Edited March 7, 2018 by 1PhDplz strawberrykat and ibtes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin472003 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Has anybody applied for a PhD in Structural engineering in MIT? I did not get any emails or changes in the application portal. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them to check in last week. The Visit Day coordinator told me that they were entering in the results as they received the applications. I applied 6 days after the priority deadline, and still no word. I emailed them again to see if they had an idea of when results would be released (though I'm assuming at this point I've been rejected), since flights to SF/SJ are super expensive from where I'm at.

ibtes Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Berkeley's offer just arrived... MS guaranteed funding for the first 5 months. This is totally unexpected, and greatly offsets my anxiety of waiting for MIT... strawberrykat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibtes Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I saw a post on the results page regarding MIT CEE. Apparently someone called them and got this information: "Our admissions committee is making their final decisions within the next 1-2 weeks. We have been notifying applicants of their decisions as soon as a decision has been reached on their application." Well, it seems that this year they are very procrastinating and we may not get any decision soon... strawberrykat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to the Sustainable Design and Construction concentration. So it might be different for your application? Whatever the case, I'm not sure what their process is like, because it doesn't seem likely that they'll have decisions out prior to their Visit Day. The SDC program admin emailed me that "As of today, your application is still with the SDC admissions committee." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanford's CEE Visit Day is in exactly ONE WEEK. I'm assuming at this point I didn't get accepted in to the Structural M.S. program (oh well, I'm already committed to Berkeley anyways!). I'm guessing I didn't make some sort of cut during the process as my GRE Verbal score was pretty low, and I had no prior faculty contact. Other than that, I fekt though my application was a shoe-in after being accepted to every other school. STILL - it would be nice to know if I got in or not... On a side note....who else is an incoming M.S./Ph.D. in the Berkeley CEE Department? ANY SEMM people in the house?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanasist Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Hello, I have applied to the following PhD programs : UC Berkeley, MIT, Caltech ( No decision yet ) U Michigan ( No decision, although I had a quite positive interview with a professor in January ) UT Austin ( Admitted, but not a word about funding although I applied to the MS/PhD track ) Anyone who has more news on the decisions for these schools ??

strawberrykat Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 @thanasist hi! Congrats on being admitted to UT! I believe most people are still waiting to hear back from the first three schools you mentioned, although I have seen some Berkeley posts. As far as UMich, I do know they had their open house this past weekend but if you haven't heard back yet, that's still better than a no! Did you follow up with your interviewer? ibtes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to visit UT, they implied they were trying to get funding settled this week, so that students would have a full month to consider. But, I'm not in the structural program. I got into Berkeley 2 weeks ago, but again, it seems like there are a lot of people in structural waiting for decisions. With structural being (I assume) the most common masters program in civil, decisions seem to take place over a longer time? thanasist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
