niven2 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Hi, when did you hear about your admit from JHU, I have applied in CMRL under Prof. Ghosh but didn't hear anything. I was informed on late February. I wish you to hear good news soon.
evolution786 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Does anyone have access to the full US News rankings?
pradeepgd05 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I saw few purdue admits in result database.anyone here with purdue admit ?
civil Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Did any international student got acceptance from UCSD, Structural Eng masters.
JPeterman Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I see at least one in the results database. Given how many americans posted acceptances and how many international students posted rejections, I'd tend to agree that it seems like a trend, but with one acceptance that doesn't seem so clear. I'd assume there are more? The nerd in me is now trying to decide if the sample size gives us enough to go off of, but the lazy person in me isn't going to figure out the statistical significance of this.
wabisabi Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Does anyone have access to the full US News rankings? And if so, would anyone mind helping with my burning curiosity to know where the UC Davis Civil program is in the 2013-14 rankings?

JPeterman Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like today was the big day for UT Austin. I got a rejection from them. Anyone get in?
niven2 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) UCB: I called Shelley Okimoto today who told me that they were mostly done with the admission of domestic students while still working on the case of international candidates. I have asked only for SEMM. Edited March 20, 2013 by niven2
evolution786 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Any news on UIUC? They're taking forever and it seems like very few people have been accepted so far.
Jon Vaage Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Hey everyone! Congratulations to all those admitted! I'm Still waiting on a few replies but I don't imagine I'll turn down the opportunity I have at UT Austin. Undergrad Degree: Bachelors of Architecture at Iowa State University (1st ranked in class; emphasis in structural engineering; minor in philosophy) Overall GPA: 3.87 / 4.00 Eng. GPA: 3.80 / 4.00 2.5 years of work experience in structural engineering consultancy No research experience Applied: UCB, UIUC, UMich, UMinn, MIT, Cornell, & UTAustin Accepted: MIT, Cornell, UTAustin ( with 20 hr Teaching Assistantship! ) Rejected: None so far....
JPeterman Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Congrats on getting into UT Austin! I went their for my undergrad, and the program is truly stellar. Their on-campus facilities are a bit old, but when you get to the off-campus labs and see what the faculty is doing, you realize why they're ranked as high as they are. Since I'm a huge nerd, I pulled some results from the Results page into excel (for Civil generally, not specifically structural) and got some averages and standard deviations. They are: NCSU: Average Response: March 14th; Std. Dev.: 16 Days UT Austin: March 2nd; 25 Days Georgia Tech: April 2nd; 20 Days (Small sample size though) Columbia: March 17th; 25 Days UC San Diego: March 7th; 25 Days I'm not sure if the dates are that significant, but the standard deviations seemed fairly consistent, which surprised me. Apparently we should always expect to hear back from a program "give or take a month." Food for thought. (Those are the programs I applied to except for CU-Boulder, which I had already heard back from by the time I went crazy enough to do this.) I hope this is slightly helpful to some people...

Ireney Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Did any international student got acceptance from UCSD, Structural Eng masters. Im intl. student studying in the U.S. now...just got my rej. on Monday night...

niven2 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 UCB: Well, if I compare with the posted results of last year, I presume all what we wait for is a massive rejection day by next week. Let's see what happens...

clavodeolor Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Anyone get any response from UIUC yet? Or UCB?
civil Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 any news from UCB, UIUC, Purdue, Georgia or TAMU. for MS international students
lpgcn17 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I'm still waiting to hear from UIUC, UCB, and Stanford. I don't have much hope left at this point.
ctv511 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 For PhD Applicants: I called Purdue, TAMU, UMich to ask about the admission status. They said they sent out some offer 2 weeks ago... Which means for those of you (and me) who haven't gotten any results yet will have low chance... So please update your status whenever you get admission results (even reject or accept). Thank you so much!
