centerline Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Has anyone applying to Civil/Environmental MS/MEng/PhD programs for Fall 2009 received an admission decision already? Civil seem to take longer to announce their decisions than any other field for some reason.
sheaisawesome Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Hey I have applied to CEE programs for a PhD and havent heard anything back ugh! Where did you apply? Have you gotten any news yet?
canty2 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I registered just to post. I applied to and was accepted to U Illinois UC, Virginia Tech, and UT Austin for an MS in Environmental Engineering. I currently attend Virginia Tech and know that the CEE Department has already had an open house for structures and the Environmental and Water Resources open house for admits is 2 weeks from now. Good luck. I am still waiting on MIT.
future_eng_grad Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 I was admitted to Environmental Engineering graduate programs at UT Austin, Virginia Tech, Clarkson, and Missouri S&T. Still waiting to hear back from UC Berkeley.
ankitgupta.iitg Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Hi. I got admitted to the MS program in Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech & Penn State University but no news about funding as of now. Has anybody received funding for Masters at Virginia Tech?
ankitgupta.iitg Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Is it a MS application or a PhD application? I was admitted to Environmental Engineering graduate programs at UT Austin, Virginia Tech, Clarkson, and Missouri S&T. Still waiting to hear back from UC Berkeley.
sheaisawesome Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Hey I applied to FSU, Brown, Yale, CMU, UVa, JHU and Tufts for CEE (Phd Env Eng). Ive heard unoff word from brown and fsu but thats it. Has anyone heard from any of these programs?!?! Thanks!!!
aijoayo Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I applied to Cornell, MIT, STANFORD, UCB, UCD, UIUC and got admitted to Cornell for the Phd program (hydrology and hydraulics). I will have an interview at UIUC on March.
canty2 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 It's my understanding as a Virginia Tech undergrad that Tech tries to fund every masters student. This is certianly the case in Environmental and Water Resources. Not to sure about structures, transportation, construction etc.
ericthou Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I applied to Cornell, MIT, STANFORD, UCB, UCD, UIUC and got admitted to Cornell for the Phd program (hydrology and hydraulics). I will have an interview at UIUC on March. Hi, for Cornell, did they mention anything on funding? I also get admitted to structural PhD.
noojens Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 It would be really helpful if you folks who've gotten admissions decisions could post your stats (GPA, GRE, research, etc) on the stickied thread at the top of the forum. Judging from all the "rate my chances" threads, I think a lot of people would like to know what it takes to get into the schools discussed in this thread.
future_eng_grad Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I was also admitted to the Env. Eng. program at UC Berkeley (MS/PhD).
sheaisawesome Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Well I heard from Yale today. Obvi didnt get in. anywayz Futreeng grad can u plz post ur stats!! Thanks
tazarv Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Hi It would be a great help, if admitted students put their GPA, GRE scores and number of publications here. Thanks in Advance
lfaltez Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I am an internacional applicant (from Peru), and at this time I've been admitted to UT Austin (no single word for financial aid yet) and Carnegie Mellon (12.5k tuition aid). I am pursuing a MS in Construction Engineering and Project Management. Still waiting for UC Berkeley and U Illinois at UC. In addition to the grad schools mentioned, I've applied to: Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Purdue, Michigan, Northwestern, Northeastern and University of Southern California. No word from them yet. My profile: GRE: 770Q, 430V, 3.5 AWA TOEFL: 91 iBT GPA: 14.8 (0-20), 8th out of 45 students. 1.5 years of work experience in the field. 1 Thesis research about Risk Management of Contruction Projects Strong recommendations (1 from academic provost and 1 from university president, both were my teachers at undergraduate and are civil engineers) My undergrad university is the best in the country. I want to know more people applying to this program and their admission results!
lightyears Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I applied to the Stanford Civil Engineering department and was accepted. It's the perfect program for me, but unfortunately I received no funding. At $37k/yr, I don't know if it would be worth it to go there, especially since I recieved a very nice funding package from UT-Austin.
moommoombaba Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Lightyears which civil program did you apply to? and I am assuming you applied with aid correct? My housemate who applied without aid got her acceptance last week but I am still waiting for mine which was applied with aid. We both applied to the structural program. I got accepted to UC Berkeley and UC San Diego for civil eng (structural)

I got accepted to UC Berkeley and UC San Diego for civil eng (structural) I applied to the Atmosphere/Energy program with aid. I sort of wish I would have applied to the PhD program since I'd likely stay for a PhD anyway... but I might not have been accepted then. If you get in, maybe I'll see you March 20th. Good luck!

Open house is on the 20th and still no words from stanford... I am doubting my chances now :/ according to their admission website, Stanford's phd program is for candidates who already have a master degree, so if you don't then they will just admit you to the master program even if you applied for phd. well i am assuming that you don't have a master degree. are you going to pay out of pocket? stanford's cost of living is almost 60k/yr.. That could seriously put me in debt...

That could seriously put me in debt... I'm sure the decisions will be going out soon. There are barely any entries in the results search... There would have to be more if they started giving acceptances. I was under the impression that if you applied for a phd and you're admitted to the masters program, you still get funded. If I decide to go there, I'll have to pay out of pocket. I've been working for a couple years, so I have some money saved up though.
jlelah2 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I have applied to the following for an MS in Environmental Eng: UIUC, Cornell, UT-Austin, Berkeley, Northwestern, MIT Only MIT has yet to respond as of this post (March 10) UIUC, UT, and Northwestern have all had visit weekends and Berkeley has invited me out on March 19th. Has anyone heard of weekend visits for Cornell? So far only Northwestern has contacted me about financial aid for attending their school. Has anyone else heard back about aid for masters at any of these universities? Thanks
the_einherjer Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I applied for a PhD position in UC Berkeley- the SEMM program. Not heard from them yet.. argh! Any international students here who've been contacted by them?!? (applied for funding?)
moommoombaba Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Finally... after all these waiting, I finally got accepted into stanford cee program! Now gotta decide which school i want to go to and start to worry about fundings... grad school is not cheap!!! :evil:
lightyears Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Congrats! I'm hoping the visit will maybe help me get some funding..
