StructuralEngr88 Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 We all know how stressful and tough it is for applying to grad school. So let's support each other throughout the applying process!! Any structural applicant out there?? Where you planning to apply/have applied? What are your stats in terms of GPA, GRE scores, research experience, papers, contacts with professors?
Cdcousin12345 Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I wish I could add to this but I am applying for M.S. in structural engineering a year from now so I will be checking it out. What have you got so far, and where will you be applying? I'm assuming since you made this thread you've probably already have your list of schools, GRE and whatnot's.
waniahmed Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 HEY. hi.. even i m a structural engineering applicant.. i posted my profile evaluation request just recently. could v share info on univs plz..
StructuralEngr88 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 I guess I will start: I am planning to apply to M.I.T,UIUC, Stanford, UCBerkeley,Cornell, U.Michigan, Penn. St., Northwestern, Lehigh, and Columbia for M.S & M.Eng Overall GPA: 3.67/4.0 GRE SCORES: will take on 11/20 Experiences: 3 years in research 2.5 years as a TA mainly grading and office hours 2 summer internships + 1 year full time 1 honors thesis TSeng3 1
evolution786 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Let's liven up this thread again! I've only applied to 3 schools for a masters program: UW-Madison, UIUC, and UC-San Diego. Overall GPA: 3.76/4.00 GRE: 160(V), 160(Q), 4.50 Experiences: 2 full time summer internships, one of which lead into the school year part time for the past 2 years 1 semester as a TA in structural analysis 1 semester of research I haven't heard back from any of my schools yet...I'm getting pretty nervous since UIUC has already started accepting masters students, and I didn't get invited to visit the campus :/ TSeng3 1
TSeng3 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Thread has a few views but no one is posting. Hopefully gains some traction this month. CGPA: 3.77/4.00 GRE: 154 V, 160 Q, 4.00 AW Experience: 1 year of industry experience 2 summer internships 2 years of undergraduate research Schools: UIUC, Stanford, Berkeley, MIT and Cornell Applied for MS/Meng programs. Haven't heard back from any of the schools yet but I'll try to update the thread if I hear back from anyone. Best of luck to everyone!
windsvon Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I am an international student. I applied to 10 schools.... Overall GPA: 3.6/4.0 GRE: 155V, 166Q, 3.0AW TOEFL: 103 I have been admitted to the MS/PHD program of cornell, but decisions on funding will be made in mid-march. I heard that only a few( about 5%) applicants could get funding... Does anyone know any details about the program? If I failed to get funding, is it OK for me to terminate my study after MS?
TSeng3 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Congratulations on the admission. I'm sure you can clarify the details with the department. Just send them an email and let them know of your funding situation.
StructuralEngr88 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 I have not heard back from any of my schools yet. I have a feeling i am going to get rejected from UIUC. Couple people already posted their acceptance and UIUC's graduate recruiting weekend is in March. Windsvon congrats on Cornell, great school but not so great location
TSeng3 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I hope that's not the case, that was one of my top choices. Based on last year's results it looks like they send out responses in early march and onward. So it seems like the structural responses are a bit later in the process. If anyone has heard back from UIUC, your input would be greatly appreciated.

TSeng3 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Meng for MIT and Cornell, MS for the others. Looks like we have similar goals, good luck in the upcoming months!
Sunmaster14 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I suppose I'll contribute too. GPA: 3.97/4.00 GRE: 164 V, 166 Q, 4.5 AW Experiences: 1.5 years of research Leadership role in engineering project team No internship experience Applying to the following programs (All Structural Engineering): M.Eng: MIT, Cornell, Michigan MS: Stanford, UC Berkeley, UT, UIUC So far I've heard good news from Cornell and UT. Hoping to hear more of the same from the remaining schools. Edited February 16, 2013 by Sunmaster14
sudirising Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 is the structural engg. program good at MIT. coz i couldn't see much new research in structural engg at MIT. How is UCSD structural program? sudirising 1
StructuralEngr88 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Tseng best of luck to you too!! Sunmaster14 are you an international student? When did you heard back from Cornell?
evolution786 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 is the structural engg. program good at MIT. coz i couldn't see much new research in structural engg at MIT. How is UCSD structural program? UCSD has a pretty good program (I'm not sure what their rank is) though they focus on different things than most schools. Since they're so close to Boeing's facility, they do a lot of structural research of composites for aviation. UCSD also has a heavy amount of research in structural design though, with a focus in earthquake engineering. sudirising 1

Windsvon congrats on Cornell, great school but not so great location UIUC graduate weekend for Civil and Environmental is actually this weekend, Feb 22-24
Sunmaster14 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Tseng best of luck to you too!! Sunmaster14 are you an international student? When did you heard back from Cornell? I heard back from Cornell exactly a week ago, but it was an informal acceptance. I actually received the official acceptance today. I am a domestic undergraduate student. Also, in addition to UIUC, I know that UC Berkeley has sent out acceptances to M.S. as well, so I'm beginning to get a little worried about those two programs.
StructuralEngr88 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Hopefully I will hear a positive response from Cornell this week. As long as we have not receive any rejection email from those two programs, there is still hope......at least that's what I want myself to think
evolution786 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 If anyone has applied to UCSD, their grad admissions office said they'll send out PhD decisions within the week and master's within 2 weeks. UIUC said most of their decisions are made in March and some in early April.
FelipeChilean Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Hello!, Does anyone heard about SUNY Buffalo admission results? PS: If anyone has applied to the University of Washington, they said that they'll send out the Master's decisions in the next few weeks.
Lebiatan Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Hello everyone. Has someone heard about Berkeley admissions? I know that student selecion is happening this week yet I have not received anything yet. UIUC is another option and as the same as Berkeley, I know the commite has been selecting student from one week ago.
StructuralEngr88 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 How did you guys found out which week schools do selection or sending out acceptance/rejection? I know most schools' admission website say between which month but not certain week
FelipeChilean Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 How did you guys found out which week schools do selection or sending out acceptance/rejection? I know most schools' admission website say between which month but not certain week I sent an email to the Departments.
StructuralEngr88 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 ok thanks. Where else did you applied FelipeChilean
