Thebrat Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Will they all go out today? Any idea how many applied/are accepted? They told me 15% of the applicant pool was accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesmoke Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Masters or PhD? Also, I think its funny that that was the exact same number as last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesmoke Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Oh... I was happier before, but now I think the number is inflated by Master's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesmoke Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 I see several decisions posted... are acceptances still rolling out? Are the rest hopeless? Do we have to wait till Monday? So much for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmogator Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thebrat (and anyone else who was accepted): Did the email assign you an advisor with you're RA appointment? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrat Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thebrat (and anyone else who was accepted): Did the email assign you an advisor with you're RA appointment? Thanks That was quite weird. They assigned me an advisor and said(he would be guiding me in my research) but said I had to wait 1-2 weeks for my funding package. Huh? Am I an RA? I don't know. I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesmoke Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Is the lack of news bad? I'm getting a bit worried, it being the last day of February and all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0_o Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 ^ +1, getting worried too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaltso Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 ^ +1, getting worried too. Fellas, there's no use worrying. Just from searching the database, it seems that people have been made offers on or after March 1. Yes the likelihood of being admitted is diminishing in a strictly probabilistic sense, but it's entirely possible that decisions for specific research areas are made in a particular progression. So who knows what's going on except the committee itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabramovich Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I just got waitlisted (with 35 others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaltso Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 We have a decision: THE DREADED WAIT LIST, ACK! I think I'd rather have been rejected flat-out. 35 students were placed on the wait list. For posterity's sake: UGPA: 3.8 GGPA: 3.9 GRE: 800/550/5.0 Research: lots, including a couple conference papers and a Best Paper award Awards: several from my undergrad institution Pedigree: B.S. and M.S. from a state school. We're ranked pretty low and I think this hurt me. Good luck to everyone else still waiting on a decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabramovich Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Were you told via e-mail, online, or mail? and what school did you go to? I know you asked him, but I was waitlisted by email. I assume it was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaltso Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Were you told via e-mail, online, or mail? and what school did you go to? Yep, mabramovich and I got the same email. I'd rather not say which school, but we're consistently near the bottom of the rankings of Aerospace Engineering departments in the United States. Pedigree matters!

Sure no problem, I was just curious. I didn't hear anything today, so hopefully they'll make it quick and painless tomorrow, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesmoke Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Anyone hear anything else? I see the few acceptances/waitlists on the results page so I'm starting to get worried... last I called they said decisions would be sent out by today, but I don't want to be the annoying girl who keeps on calling back.
