phunky Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I just received a call from the grad director at Lehigh and I got the fellowship I was nominated for! Anyone hear from Boulder yet? I'm ready to e-mail the grad coordinator and ask when decisions will be out b/c I need to book a flight for visitation day that's 2 weeks away!

Skyflash Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hey, is this visitation day is only meant for US students or International students also get invites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikaerorasitus Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hey everyone, I figured I would stop in and say hi. Senior applying to grad programs in structural engineering here. I applied to masters programs (about 50-50 split between M.Eng and M.S.) because I'm undecided about whether I'd like to pursue research or head into industry. All I know right now is that I'd like to at least obtain a masters degree. As of now only heard back from Lehigh and Illinois and so far it's a 1-1 split. Getting pretty anxious/impatient.

Best of luck on your other apps... would you mind sharing your profile? I have applied to Columbia as well.... so far I haven't heard a thing...

BTW, can anyone tell me how to add the program information under each posts ? i mean the grey part. You mean the signature? As far as I know you just have to do it manually (that's what I did). If you click your name in the upper right corner and then on "My Profile" you'll see the options for editing your signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3amon Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I just wrote to UMN to inquire about the status of my application, and I got a reply that I will hear about it around mid April?!!!! They must be joking with me... They mailed out some decisions already, so it doesn't make any sense... Edited February 24, 2011 by d3amon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3amon Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I guess so.. When I asked "why so late", I got this reply: "This is the date that most students will get a reply about their application. This is the typical time frame for decisions."

pacobox Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I guess so.. When I asked "why so late", I got this reply: "This is the date that most students will get a reply about their application. This is the typical time frame for decisions." was that from dr. le at UMN?? i got this from him: "Thank you for your enquiry. We received a large number of applications this year. With limited funding opportunities, the admission is very competitive. I am not in the position to disclose the decision here. The decision letter will reach you soon. " sounds like a letter of doom is coming, but who knows. could mean they are waiting to see which "top tier" recruits are going to accept and which ones are going somewhere else. kinda really annoying. i know we're not at the top of the list though, because a few people have been invited to the visitation weekend on march 3. FUCK. i haven't heard shit from any of the 4 schools i applied to. im OLD (30) and will need to start working on selling my house if i'm gonna go to school. these departments need to get on top of things.

d3amon Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) No, I contacted Graduate secretary. They are probably waiting for professors to receive funding so they can offer assistantship to the certain number of admitted students. I guess they sent out admission offers only to domestic PhD candidates they wanted the most (and who were granted a fellowship). That is my reasoning... Btw, does anyone know which professor is in charge for admission at Berkeley? Dr Stojadinovic maybe? Edited February 25, 2011 by d3amon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyflash Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Same here! Got rejection from Princeton and Cornell I got a rejection from Cornell yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3amon Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Well, it might be that Cornell desires students in Applied Sciences because their Structural program is focused mainly on Computational Mechanics, etc. When I informed my US adviser (who graduated at Cornell) about this rejection, he wasn't surprised at all. His comment was smth like "Yeah, I am concerned about Cornell. They had a major faculty turnover recently.." Even though I would prefer an acceptance from Cornell, I can't say I'm stressed about getting a rejection.

omega Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 hope UCB offers will come to you guys later !! i called UCB yesterday and they told me that at least some offers for every sub branch have sent out. and they told me the process is rolling till mid Apr. From what i've seen, a few offers from civil systems have been posted here, has anyone heard from structural engineering ? does one person handle all branches or one professor from one branch handle it independently ? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3amon Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 I didn't hear about any admits in Structures.. I think every branch handles their own admission process, so I guess there must be someone in charge. I know that Dr Stojadinovic had something to do with it last year or a couple of years ago... Btw, I was told that Structures group usually receives about 350 applications, and they admit only around 50 students each year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 that was tough. I looked over the record of last year. The first ad was given about Feb 23rd, which has passed. I was thinking the next two weeks will be stressful. Btw, I also applied MIT and stanford; do you know some of their situations ? it seems stanford is always late for ads.

d3amon Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) I really have no idea what are their ad stats. I applied to the MIT too. As far as Stanford concerns - $125 app fee?!!! They should be first to announce decisions! Edited February 26, 2011 by d3amon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) ya. so expensive. I saw their first ad in the result section ! dude, thats so wired, they still use postal service in 21 century. i guess they wanna show 125$ mean something. lol I really have no idea what are their ad stats. I applied to the MIT too. As far as Stanford concerns - $125 app fee?!!! They should be first to announce decisions!
