I had previously met the professor at an event while I was in undergrad, and she remembered me. I got an acceptance email a couple of days ago. She didn't mention if they were interviewing everybody and when decisions would be made. I think she was calling students who had an interest in her lab in particular. I would hold out hope because I'm pretty sure they are still making decisions! Thank you! Also just got into USC, so a little bit more relieved.
smalltownwater Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Anybody have updates??? I'm still waiting to hear from the University of Wisconsin Madison... Recently got more acceptances and some mention funding which makes me realize I really don't understand much about funding packages lol.
sodalite Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 I applied to Civil Engineering (Phd) with a geotechnical focus. Was accepted to Stanford, UT-Austin and Purdue in the last 3 days. Still waiting to hear from Caltech, Berkeley and UW-Madison.

Do you know if they hold interviews for MS (with a goal of PhD) applicants?

The interview was mostly about getting to know me and my long-term goals. Was accepted to do a direct PhD in the admission letter. Good luck for your applications! Edited February 9, 2019 by sodalite

I would like to ask a couple of questions, if you don't mind. First of all, when did you receive your admission letter from Stanford? Is it mentioning anything about the funding? And which school are you applying from? Thanks a lot for your answers in advance.

I received it on 8 Feb with CEE-PhD Fellowship for 2 years. I'm applying for NTU, Singapore.

smalltownwater Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Question: I've been accepted by Berkeley, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and North Carolina State (Environmental Eng PhD), but none of them mentioned funding. Anybody know if these schools have sent out information about funding packages yet?

Last year my offer + funding letter was received on March 9. It's still early so probably funding is on its way.

I (international Student) have applied to Penn State, U of Minnesota, NC state, U of Notre Dame for PhD (Environmental Engineering) . When did you applied for NC state. I applied late i.e. around 31 Jan 2019 so wondering about the time frame of decision. Edited February 11, 2019 by Fun-Grad
smalltownwater Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 @Fun-Grad I submitted my application January 4th. (All my recommendations were submitted closer to January 15th.) I had an admission decision around January 24th, so the turn around wasn't too long for me.
Impastpatientlywaiting Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Applied for Environmental Engineering (PhD) in UW, UCLA, Columbia...haven't heard anything from them yet. Anybody has updates from these universities?

dkt123 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Has anyone who is an international student heard from Northwestern Structures PhD program?
jimbobcooter Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Northwestern's Visit Day for Civil was on Feb 8th. ibtes 1
CivilGuy Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Hi all, has anyone heard anything from UCLA regarding admission results?

PartyEngineer Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 I applied to environmental engineering, got in USC, rejected from Yale, waiting on UCLA, Rice, Duke, UT Austin and Colorado Boulder. I am also international so will see. But not much hope left cause people already heard from almost all the schools that I applied to! What is your specialization and where are you applying?
