shiraziaseel Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hello guys, Has anybody received any email from northwestern saying that they cannot make decisions about them?? They told me that the decisions were exceptionally hard to make this year, so they sent out some mass rejections and gave a few admissions but left the tough decisions to be made later (by the end of March).

annaa Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I received the same email, but they said they make decisions in first part of March and after that remaining applicants will be on a waitlist! I hope we both get accepted in the first part of March shiraziaseel! Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpeppersauce Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Still waiting on anything official from Virginia Tech. Accepted to Northeastern, but no word on funding yet. I'm leaving this afternoon for a visit, and I'll talk to professors and beg for money while I'm there. No word on the fellowship I applied for at Rutgers, either. So, no news, really.  I'm getting very tired of waiting on funding decisions. behnam1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiraziaseel Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I haven't received any first year funding offer from Berkeley yet. There's a high chance that I'll attend USC, but it's just too hard to choose between the Information and Operations Management program of the business school and the ISE program of the engineering school. Please give me your thoughts, right now I can really use every idea of every person that I can get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know much about the quality of OM program at USC, but ISE at USC is a descent IE program. I would say the main difference would be working on more classic IE/OR projects in ISE rather than working on more theoretical/business analytic motivated projects in business school. You may also consider that you will have much easier work down the road if you want to end up as a faculty member by going to a business school.  Good luck!

fooBarBaz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Has anybody heard of Cornell recently? rejections? waitlisted?!! Nope, not a single word from them. Somebody just posted a rejection from Cornell today, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpeppersauce Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I spoke to the office at Virginia Tech, who said that they should be finalizing everything and posting them on the status website this week. It looks like a couple people have already heard, too. behnam1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

industrial man Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Finally heard back from PSU today. Still waitlisted at 6 other schools... Is anyone else waiting to hear back from a lot of programs? Â How did you get the decision from PSU. My profile has been updated and says I should contact the program that I have applied to get my application status. I sent an email to the department but I did not get any responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpeppersauce Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'm still waiting on Virginia Tech and funding from Northeastern. I called the graduate program director at Virginia Tech and was told that they're aiming to have everything out by April 1st. I've emailed the POI at Northeastern, but so far no response.  I really hate all this waiting. Does it seem to you guys that we're hearing later than most programs?

My application at Northeastern still says "Under Committee Review" for what that's worth. I think everyone is at the "wait and see" point right now. Those who are certain of where they'll be heading should contact their other acceptances so the situation can become more clear for others.

Bhrigu Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hi guys! Â My UC Berkeley M.Eng (IEOR) application was "recommended" by faculty 3 weeks ago but I haven't received formal admission packet yet. Got invited for "admitted student's visit day" as well. Anyone sailing in the same boat? Â The email also said that I need to fill a form by Apr 15th. Admissions office is not responding to emails and phone call goes to voice-mail. This is freaking me out a bit. Please share your UCB experiences. Â P.S. Good luck to everyone waiting for their admits and congrats to those who already made it to their respective dream schools!
