MMM21 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 So I applied for a PhD in mechanical engineering but I didn't hear anything yet and I am starting to get worried. Is it too late for me now or is the admissions that late in returning to their applicants? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProbeIke Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Yeah I haven't heard anything back I'd say it's safe to assume that it will not be an option for either of us.

Charlie Moon Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Have you checked the admimssion portal ? I am in a different field but this University never bothered to send an email to us and we found out by looking at the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaudreau Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I think the visitor's weekend was just two weeks ago. My son was up there for aerospace engineering and they met in a big auditorium on Saturday with candidates from other engineering colleges.

Statsfan15 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I can't speak for ME but for stats it seems that they keep an "unofficial" waiting list. Several rounds of acceptances and rejections have already gone out and yet several people still haven't heard anything. It seems like that could be what is what is going on in your department too... So not hearing anything probably means you still have a chance! MMM21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaudreau Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) There were four visitors with offers from the AE Professor that my son will study under. When he was in Ann Arbor, my son and one other were sure that Michigan was for them. Two were not certain. If they don't go to Michigan, that could free up an offer for another applicant on a waiting list. Or maybe not; my son's PI usually takes about two students a year, so he may figure on offering four to get two. Just speculating.
