omega Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 wow! the first structural admission came out from UCB. It was on postal services. :blink::blink:
d3amon Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 lol. Don't believe everything you see on the Results tab...
d3amon Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Finally some good news. I got accepted with a full scholarship in Fire Safety Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.
Yuri_Gagarin Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 FIRST ACCEPTANCE: ADMITTED TO STANFORD !!! Structural Engineering, Master of Science. Admitted by mail (postal service). Letter sent on February 24 and received today (Europe). I am international so I was not applying for funding I do not know what to say... I'm so fucking happy. ¡¡¡ Best luck for all !!!
whit Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Two Columbia PhD admits today! If you're reading this thread, please post your profiles!!
honeybear Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Did anybody here apply to Virginia Tech and heard back yet? I'm applying for an MS. I'm starting to get a little nervous... But I got accepted to Penn State so at least I'm going somewhere so that's a relief! Edited March 3, 2011 by honeybear

Joesh Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Just got accepted to U. Pittsburgh, offered a $6,800/semester + tuition + health TAship for first 2 semesters, and intended funding beyond that
d3amon Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Congrats!!! How did your recruiting weekends go?
Joesh Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Congrats!!! How did your recruiting weekends go? Really well, thanks! I'm going to be freaking out here soon, UIUC told us that about 15 of us would get funding of the 25 that were at the weekend.
omega Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 The past weekend or the next coming weekend ? Really well, thanks! I'm going to be freaking out here soon, UIUC told us that about 15 of us would get funding of the 25 that were at the weekend.
omega Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 And by the way, UIUC gave me the last data as July 1st to give them reply about if i will go there or not. Should I follow the 4/15 deadline or their deadline ???

Should I follow the 4/15 deadline or their deadline ??? At the recruiting weekend they said that funding information will go out by the end of this month. They said if you are offered funding that they would appreciate it if you accept or decline the funding offer by April 15th, other than that if you aren't offered funding I don't think it matters.
omega Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I was not invited there. Guess the chance is small .. COME ON ,! Stanford UBC and MIT!!!!! At the recruiting weekend they said that funding information will go out by the end of this month. They said if you are offered funding that they would appreciate it if you accept or decline the funding offer by April 15th, other than that if you aren't offered funding I don't think it matters.
phunky Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I went to CU Boulder's and Lehigh's visitation days the last two weekends and loved both of them. This Friday is GA Tech. I'm definitely tired of traveling. I've heard back from all my schools except Rutgers. 4/5 so far with acceptances:). I have an awesome Fellowship at Lehigh ($25k stipend) and great funding at Vandy ($25k TA +$5k Fellowship). No word on $$$ anywhere else. CU Boulder said I'll know in the next few weeks and I'm hoping GA Tech says something this weekend.
Yuri_Gagarin Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Does anyone have heard something about UC Berkeley or UC San Diego? There are too few people on the results page being admitted to those institutions.
aikaerorasitus Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Does anyone have heard something about UC Berkeley or UC San Diego? There are too few people on the results page being admitted to those institutions. I applied for Masters at Berkeley and haven't heard anything yet, but I haven't heard from anywhere except for Lehigh and UIUC, so I think most schools are just being really slow for people who didn't apply to a PhD program. Hopefully they realize that the deadline is almost a month away!
pacobox Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 alot of schools seem to be really slow period. I applied phd to Minnesota, Texas, Wisconsin, and Washington, and not a peep yet. other than a few people hearing from UMN for visitation [not me ], no one on here has posted any news for structures...driving me bananas.

phunky Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) GA Tech was so awesome this weekend! No mention of $$--I'm assuming that they wanted to meet us in person before deciding on the funding situation. I hope I made a good impression!!! Edited March 13, 2011 by phunky
Yuri_Gagarin Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) One M.S. acceptance on friday and one Ph.D. rejection today from Berkeley. This goes very slooooooowwwwwwly... What percentage of people applying do you think visit thegradcafe.com and post their results, maybe about 20%? Edited March 14, 2011 by Yuri_Gagarin

I hope I made a good impression!!! Hey! So I had the same deal at GATech too. I talked to the person who was the head of my program (Meyer) and he told me what was going on in regards to funding and gave me my letter on Friday. Were you the only one there this weekend who hadn't heard about funding? I don't think its unreasonable to ask about it because professors know that funding can (and mostly likely will) influence your decision.

Everyone I talked to in structures had not heard anything about funding. Congrats on getting an official letter!!
spade20k Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Everyone I talked to in structures had not heard anything about funding. Congrats on getting an official letter!! Thanks!! So yeah... I don't know if I would hesitate to ask about funding or when you expect to hear back about funding, because that is a huge part of the choosing a school for a lot of people.

Yup, if I'm not fully supported, I can't go. All my profs know this.
omega Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I just got the recommendation to admission to UCB,. did not mention funding, but i am So excited. :lol:
