aeroaero Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Hello everyone, anyone applying for aero M.S. Ph.D for next fall? Let's meet!!!
g_c Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I am. Applying for a few Aero and MechE PhD programs now. I'm intending to study high speed combustion and combustion control.
aeroaero Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 I'm in the field of propulsion/combustion too. Where are you applying? I applied to Purdue, PennState and UCI.
g_c Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I applied to USC, U Washington, and UT Austin so far. I have one more application that I'm working on though... UCONN. Each one seems to have a different flavor of the same topics, so hopefully if I get in to more than one I will have the opportunity to match my interests as closely as possible. I grew up in the Midwest and have been able to visit Purdue and Penn State's campuses and facilities - they're awesome! Love the towns and areas too.
sillykim Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Here I am. I finished to apply 11 universities so far. Hope to see you at the universities to which we applied.
aeroaero Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Hi sillykim!!! What research area are you interested in? Have you heard back from any university you applied yet?
EngineerGrad314 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I am applying in mech/aero. I want to study aeroelastics. I only applied to 7 University of Michigan Ann Arbor, University of Illnois UC (Masters), Duke, Virgina Tech, Georgia Tech, MIT (Masters), and Purdue
aeroaero Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Has anyone started to hear back from some university? I know it's pretty early in the process but I am already starting to be nervous!!!
g_c Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Nope, nothing here. The universities to which I applied have all stated decisions will come by mid-March, so I'm trying to be patient and wait. That being said, I've still been checking my status online every day...
hungryfarmer Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I'm applying to two Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering PhD programs: UCLA and Minnesota. Although my field is computational materials science, those programs' researchers fit my interests better then others from Materials Engineering ones. I'm expecting to have some news from Minnesota by end January or beginning February, but UCLA may take a while. Best luck to all! Edited January 10, 2015 by hungryfarmer
Texan_Air Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I just wanted to say goodluck to everyone in here. I've applied for a masters at 11 schools. Got an early acceptance to only one so far.
pvfm Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I applied only to Georgia Tech. Waiting for the decision. Checking my email ten times a day for a decision that propably won't come before March/April... Well, anxiety is killing me =/
Aethersprite Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Hey all, I'm applying from New Zealand - submitted applications for Caltech, MIT, Stanford and Georgia Tech. Wasn't expecting to hear back until mid/late-February, but I got accepted by Stanford a few days back, much to my surprise! Now wondering how long I'll have to wait for the other three hooope 1
kuleke Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 From all these posts, it seems like people apply to loads of different schools. I could barely stand one application process! I applied for an aero PhD at UoT. I did some research at Manchester University before, looking at biofuel combustion. Anyone in a similar field?
subbu10123 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Hey guys!! I had applied to MIT, University of Michigan, Georgia Tech, Purdue and Tu delft... A couple of days back I got an admit from Purdue no word on Scholarship tho.... Anyone in the same situation as me??
aeroaero Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Hello subbu, can you give more information about your admission from Purdue? Who notified you? Do you already know who your POI would be?
Texan_Air Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Anyone hearing anything? This is my first application process and I keep seeing that the Chemical Engineers and Biomedical Engineers are hearing back interviews and acceptances. I haven't heard a peep from any of the Texas Universities. Also I turned down a chance to interview with UTC Aerospace Systems- Space division this week.....so hopefully I made the right decision to go to gradschool this fall.....
g_c Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Texan, I'm in the same boat. Haven't heard a thing and am becoming increasingly nervous... like should I be applying for jobs right now?
Texan_Air Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Texan, I'm in the same boat. Haven't heard a thing and am becoming increasingly nervous... like should I be applying for jobs right now? I was only job hunting to do something between now and when school starts in August since I am not in school right now. I got a job as a Mechanical Design Engineer close to where my family is (have family health issues), and I didn't want to leave this current city.....no matter how awesome UTC aerospace systems would be. Currently I am seeing a couple of internships positions for the summer opening up if you are looking for those. And I also see a lot of Mechanical Engineering jobs out there, which is surprising to see oil and gas open positions since they are laying off people in Eagle Ford Shale area (in Texas). I use in order of favorite LinkedIn, CareerBuilder, Rigzone(Oil and Gas), Monster, and Indeed for my job searching. I see few aerospace positions but they are out there, but aerospace engineers can always apply for mechanical engineering positions. Generally if you want to start working in the spring to summer I would say between Feb-March is when a lot of engineering positions open up, but that is just my opinion (only second time looking for a job).
bislip Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Subbu.... Applied to Tu Delft for MSc & GAtech for PhD. Got a positive response from Delft on Jan 22. Waiting on GAtech.
yghs345 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 i head back from UCLA's MAE dept for masters program
g_c Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Positively, I assume? I got into USC for MechE PhD, but still no funding info.
TransferFunction Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Congrats G_C! Were you contacted by them before? I'm still waiting to hear back from them for mechE PhD :/ Positively, I assume? I got into USC for MechE PhD, but still no funding info.
g_c Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I didn't contact any professors and they did not contact me (other than the email saying to check my status online). What's your intended area of study? But I understand how you feel... Some people got into UT-Austin for Aero a few days ago and I'm still waiting for a response...
TransferFunction Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) I'm hoping to study in fluid mechanics. What about you? Oh and good luck with your apps for UTAustin! I didn't contact any professors and they did not contact me (other than the email saying to check my status online). What's your intended area of study? But I understand how you feel... Some people got into UT-Austin for Aero a few days ago and I'm still waiting for a response... Edited February 6, 2015 by TransferFunction
