clandry Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Anyone here apply for Fall 2014 Aerospace Engineering? If so, has anyone heard of acceptance/rejections yet? If so, at which school? It seems, at least from the gradcafe results, that the decisions are made a bit later for us aero majors. Edited January 14, 2014 by Blue4123
grad_aero Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Got acceptance from Stanford(MS) on Jan 20 and Univ of Mich(PhD) on Jan 28.
clandry Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Got acceptance from Stanford(MS) on Jan 20 and Univ of Mich(PhD) on Jan 28. Did you go to UMich for undergrad or something? My friend applied to UMich's aero program. His uncle's a prof there and told him that admission decisions will not be sent out for a couple more weeks (early-mid feb).
shanks.k Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I'm applying for Fall 2014 Aero/Astro at a number of schools. The only word from any school has been GWU with a phone call this morning asking if I had any 'application' questions. I asked the caller about when the decisions will be released and she mentioned that GW will be sending out decisions today and next week as well.
MechE2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Applied to UMich for PhD and heard back last week that they lost my transcripts. At least they're reviewing my app.

MechE2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 yep, one official "unofficial" one that has to be scanned in and a sealed official one to be sent in. Luckily my school doesn't charge for transcripts.
NuclearFlea Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I applied to Umich and UWashington and have heard nilch from either of them :/.
shanks.k Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Very little word for me. it seems like most Astro departments take a lot longer.
pyroknife Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Univ of Mich(PhD) on Jan 28. Gonna have to call you out on this. I know aero hasn't sent out any decisions.

His uncle's a prof there and told him that admission decisions will not be sent out for a couple more weeks (early-mid feb). Hi clandry: I am an international applicant. I received a skype call froma prof there on Jan 20 and he said he ll forward my name to the graduate committee and I will hear back from them in a week. I received the official offer letter on 28 Jan
grad_aero Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Gonna have to call you out on this. I know aero hasn't sent out any decisions. Hello pyroknife. I hope you understand that I really have no reason to bluff on this thread, which is so dormant in any case about a U Mich admit. I think I will leave it to you better judgement to decide on the veracity of my statement. But, FYI, I had a skype interview with my POI on 20 Jan who said that the Profs can individually forward their recommendations to the admissions committee which will then process it further. And I am sure you are entitled to your views on calling it a bluff. I respect that.
tuschu Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I applied to MIT, Michigan, Penn State and UT Austin (and also MAE departments at Princeton, UCSD and GWU) for PhD. I only did an interview with UT Austin. No news from anywhere else.
Frank_Hengjie Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Got admittance form U Minnesota twin city on 7 Feb. I hear nothing from A&M, UMich, Maryland Park by now.
NuclearFlea Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Umich is required to offer funding to all PhD students. I applied to the nuclear dept. there and they said that is why they are so slow. They do not do rolling admissions, they wait until all are submitted and evaluate each of them.
airl Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 On A&M admission website they're saying the final admission decision will be out by Feb 28th. E-mailed POI asking about news but he haven't heard anything yet from admissions office. No news on UIUC. Heard from Penn State this week. Was accepted and POI is nominating me for a new "graduate fellowship of excellence" offered by the university. POI appears to be more excited than I am.
risheek Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I got rejections from UIUC and Purdue, got UIUC rejection almost 10 days ago. I have appllied to Georgia tech,austin,texas A &m,maryland and minnesota. i Have gre314 and cgpa:8/10 from Manipal university India.(B.E.-Instrumentation and Control) i have worked under a professor in aerospace dept in Indian institute of science(iisc) the one of best institutes in india and he has given me his recommendation,I am presently working on my UG thesis in IISc on Hardaware implementation of a complex neuro adaptive algorithm quadrotor.And i was part of colleges nano satellite team for one and half year but did not work on controls. I have applied for controls in all the schools, do you think i stand a chance in any of the universities. Edited February 15, 2014 by risheek
pablofc Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Hey guys! Did anyone attend the Visit Day at Stanford? Any feedback about it?
astrosnail Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Stanford Visit Day was pretty awesome. Professors all have a sense of humor and they have well-established labs for pretty much everything. Campus is probably one of the most beautiful in the world, and the grad students say they are super happy there. Many of the grad students said they chose Stanford over some of the other top schools in Aero because the other schools have a more "strict" and "competitive" environment. I got the sense that Stanford was pretty chill and collaborative which was nice. Only problem with Stanford is the funding issue for the 1st year.
pablofc Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks astrosnail! I'm most likely taking MIT's offer, and this (along with other great feedback I've received in the previous days) makes me doubt. Did you happen to talk to Prof. Farhat, Prof. Alonso or Prof. Lele? If so, what impression did they (or their students) give to you? Stanford Visit Day was pretty awesome.

astrosnail Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I talked to Prof. Farhat and his grad students but none of the other CFD guys. Farhat as a person is very friendly and enjoys conversation. His lab is considered the "most professional" out of the Aero labs when compared to the experimental labs since they're all CFD and they just work on computers. Everyone seemed quite happy in Farhat's lab though; they have 7 grad students and 8 post-docs (i think) who all seemed willing to help each other out Thanks astrosnail!

clandry Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Interesting. Didn't know there were that many profs in the aero-dpt at Stanford doing computations. Most of the ones at the turbulence center are associated with the MECH-dpt.
pablofc Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Prof. Farhat's group looks like a pretty awesome place to do a PhD on Computational Engineering and CFD: Over 20 publications/year, h-index=42, and Prof. Farhat's record of accomplishments is really impressive. If I went to Stanford, he would be the professor in the AeroAstro Department I would like to work with the most.

I typically use google scholar and the results are a bit different. http://scholar.google.com/citations?sortby=pubdate&hl=en&user=FVtXBlwAAAAJ&view_op=list_works
pablofc Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I used Scopus, which doesn't collect all the publications and citations. Google Scholar should actually be more accurate
