pvfm Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Yep ! And so is pvfm apparently... Yeah, still waiting. We're all in the same boat... btw, what research area are you interested in?
zz19910801 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Hey guys, I am just wondering, MIT AA and Stanford AA, which is stronger in fluids especially CFD? Anyone knows?
aeroaero Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 From what I know and heard, I would say Stanford over MIT for fluids in general, not sure about CFD in particular though (congrats if you were admitted to both those programs).
sillykim Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Here is some updates that I would like to share with you. I have been admitted from the department of Aerospace at University of Arizona. The department mentioned that financial aids will be decided and notified to me no later than March 15. Hope to get the chance of RA or TA. Meanwhile, I am still waiting for the decision from GaTech, Texas A&M, UT austin, and Iowa State Univ. Does anyone admit from the universities that I mentioned above? Good luck

Good luck Hey sillykim, I'm Korean also and currently live in Tucson where the University of Arizona is located. Let me know if you have any questions regarding quality of life in Tucson and the Korean community here if you're interested. I haven't applied to any of the other schools you mentioned, but good luck !
Texan_Air Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 sillykim, I haven't heard anything from the Texas schools eithier, but I did get accepted to Iowa State in December before the deadline. Hopefully it will be a good March for hearing back from every school. I have only heard from 3 out of my 11 applications so far....

born2cessna Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Eventually I'm going to have to make a final decision. I don't have 100% all of the info I need to make a decision, but I have enough to really consider my options. For those who are lucky enough to have options, how are you basing your decisions? What is important to you? Research, faculty, funding, rankings...? I'm personally having a hard time choosing a "Choice A."
AltArcIs Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I would say faculty and funding are the main two. I received an acceptance from a top 10 that told me who my advisor is, whose background was completely opposite my interests and past work, so I rejected the offer before getting information of funding. Another awarded a scholarship the first year allowing me to explore options/advisors during my first year, which is a major benefit. I have talked to students entering with external funding (e.g., NSF) and their freedom to try out different advisors for a few months made them much happier over time. You can only so much you can learn from a professors (typically out-of-date) website. Also, I personally would advise not to choose a University simply on its ranking.
aero-guy Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I got an admit from Caltech in Aeronautics-PhD and have accepted the offer. Would love to talk to any forum-member who is also going to Caltech in the same program. If so, send me a message.
metalgirl22 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I was accepted into Ohio State for Aero Eng PhD last week. British International Student, GRE V157 Q157 AW4.0, lots of extracurriculars. Will not be attending.
syc Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 To the Caltech post. I also got an admit from Caltech in Aeronautics PhD, but I have not decided yet.
sillykim Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Hi guys, congratulation to all admitted from universities for which apply. I have actually received an e-mail that I have been accepted to the School of Aerospace Engineering of Georgia Tech. It is pleasure to know; however, there is no information of financial aids. So, let me ask your opinions if you do not mind. Georgia Tech with no funding vs. the University of Arizona with full funding. Please consider one thing that I have sponsored by government $62,000 per two years. Thank you for your advise
yildizkaa Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Hi, I got accepted to Virginia Tech (PhD) and have been rejected by Caltech (after an interview), MIT, Stanford and Purdue. Still waiting for Georgia Tech, UT Austin, PennState and Michigan. Anyone heard from those? Good luck to all of you.
g_c Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Still waiting for UT Austin as well. Has anyone heard from them? And there were a few other people who got into UW - Seattle as well - have any of you heard about funding yet?
crontab Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Still waiting for UT Austin as well. Has anyone heard from them? And there were a few other people who got into UW - Seattle as well - have any of you heard about funding yet? At UW's visit day (last Friday) they said they are planning to have funding decisions out by the end of this week.
aeroaero Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Is anyone still waiting on Purdue decision?
icy1 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Hi, I got accepted to Virginia Tech (PhD) and have been rejected by Caltech (after an interview), MIT, Stanford and Purdue. Still waiting for Georgia Tech, UT Austin, PennState and Michigan. Anyone heard from those? Good luck to all of you. I got admitted to Michigan like 5 days ago. No words on scholarship or assistanship tho.
g_c Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Was admitted to UT-Austin today for PhD, but no information on funding.
Kalman Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Haven't heard from Georgia Tech yet. Should I send an email to the department asking about my application status?
yildizkaa Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Please also let us know about Georgia Tech. April 15th is coming and we have decisions to make.
