weiz Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Hi, all Since beginning of he Feb., I keep checking my email every hour. I applied to the master in Aerospace at Stanford. I have a 3.89 GPA and double major in EE and Math. 1 year research, no paper. Two strong recommendation letters. Yesterday I saw 4 people applied to the same program got admitted. I searched through the results from previous years, it seems that each year the program takes about 4 or 5 students. I was so stressed that I won't get an admission. Is there anyone can tell me that how many people the aero program at stanford usually take each year? Thanks!

Pretty sure they take more than 4 or 5 students each year...perhaps there are only 4 or 5 students that post their admission result on this site each year. I don't mean to hi-jack the thread but if anyone reading this got admission to the program, what (if anything) was said about funding in your admission email/letter?

Hi http://profiles.asee.org/profiles/4796/screen/27?school_name=Stanford+University this link might be helpful for you, you can find the enrollments by class each year
weiz Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for your rely, rieuk. so are you in already?
weiz Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 Hi Colin12345, Thanks so much. Your rely really makes me released. Anyway, it is good to know that kind of infor. Thanks again! Good luck for both of you. Hi http://profiles.asee...ford+University this link might be helpful for you, you can find the enrollments by class each year
Thorondor Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I certainly hope they take more than 4 or 5 students. Last year, they took 3 students from my current university. This year we're at least 2. what (if anything) was said about funding in your admission email/letter? Not much of anything in the email - it was essentially an invitation to the Visit Day. The only other useful information (well, apart from being admitted ) was that we'd get a more detailed letter by March 20. So excited!

Yeah same here....I am just wondering if they've completed their funding decisions process or not
Thorondor Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Hi Thorondor, Congratulations on your admission. Would you like to share your profiles here? Thanks! Not sure it'll help a lot since I applied as an international student, but here goes: Undergrad Institution: Supaero (top aerospace engineering school in France) Major(s): Aerospace Engineering Overall GPA: Around 15/20 last year, which I believe is somewhere between 3.5 and 4.0 GPA Length of Degree: Well, it's an odd system. Grad degrees take 5 years to obtain. Anyone want more information? Position in Class: 12 out of 124 last year Type of Student: I GRE Scores: Q: 800 V: 610 W: 4.0 Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Private pilot Applying for [ MS ] at: Stanford Aero & Astro - Admitted UMich Aero - Pending
weiz Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks for sharing. Congratulations again! I guess that your pilot experience probably stands out. I am just a little anxious now.

rieuk Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Got an email about Graduate Diversity Day with an invitation letter attached. The email is addressed to me but the letter is addressed to some other dude by the initials of EL - don't know what's up with that. The airfare is $1600+ from where I am anyway so I would be hard-pressed to go. What I really want to know about is what's happening with funding! Edited February 19, 2011 by rieuk

I heard that some people might get some kind of funding after the first quarter, probably a GA or TA, it depends. Anyway you gotten in. Maybe sending them an email to make sure everything right is a good idea. Another request, would u like to share your infor here? Thanks!

Sure I'll post my info, bear in mind I'm an international applicant, too. Where did you hear about getting GA or TA after first quarter? I've heard similar things but only after one year.

weiz Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 Thanks for sharing. Congra again! You guys rock! My friend who attended CMU last year gotten a GA position with tuition wavier after first quarter. His adviser is the grad chair in ME, which probably weights a lot. I haven't heard from any school. Fingers crossing! Thanks Weiz. Sure I'll post my info, bear in mind I'm an international applicant, too. Where did you hear about getting GA or TA after first quarter?

odelpino Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Hey guys, I applied to MS for Aeronautical too. I got the email about the Visit Day a week ago, and I got my official letter with funding decision today. I didn't get any funding from the department. I wish there was some other way to get funding, i really wanted to go to that school!

Hey odelpino, that's interesting, I haven't got my letter yet but did you also get your funding decision in the email? If not, what did the email say?
Thorondor Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I didn't get any funding from the department. I wish there was some other way to get funding, i really wanted to go to that school! I got the letter today - and I'm not getting any funding either...
nexwf Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 What about for those who applied for PhD program? Did anyone receive the decision? What is my chance as I didn't receive anything from them till now?
