waitwhat? Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Anyone interested in talking about Mechanical Engineering interviews/visits, acceptances, and funding offers?
TransferFunction Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 still waiting on USC. anyone else in this boat?
ShadowFairy Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) ^ With you right there! I emailed a POI from Princeton about when we'll hear back, hopefully he has some answers. Although from last year's trends, most decisions come out around mid-Feb. Been in touch with a prof. from Yale as well. Submitted a recommendation on my behalf to his department, which he claimed was a 'necessary but not sufficient requirement.' Really scares me to think if I hadn't reached out to him. Got an invite to visit Columbia today! Also planning to visit UCSB by invitation on the 20th. Anyone heard back from similar schools? Edited February 10, 2015 by RideTheLightning469
journosci Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 hey! I'm waiting on MIT at this point.. Anyone heard anything? I'm visiting Minnesota, Northwestern and Cornell in the next month.. Anyone else?
waitwhat? Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Visiting GeorgiaTech, Illinois, Michigan and Cornell. Waiting on MIT, Berkeley and Stanford. Obviously missed first rounds, because I know of others who are going. I don’t think any rejects have gone out yet, so that’s good.
g_c Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I'm visiting USC in early March, waiting to hear back for MAE programs at UCONN, UWashington, and UT-Austin.
Thiggles Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Did Cornell send out acceptances last week?
waitwhat? Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Did Cornell send out acceptances last week? I got an email from Cornell on Friday 2/6/15 and I am visiting March 6 and 7. They gave me a deadline of today (2/11/15) to reply yes or no to the visit. So maybe more invites will go out tomorrow... Edited February 12, 2015 by waitwhat?
TransferFunction Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Did they give you a deadline to respond to your visit request too? I'm visiting USC in early March, waiting to hear back for MAE programs at UCONN, UWashington, and UT-Austin.
Dawnbreaker Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Has anyone here heard from UCSB (ME) or UCSD (MAE)? Also, are any of you guys applying for the CDO program at MIT?
ShadowFairy Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Just heard back from a POI at Princeton! Says I have been admitted by the department, official information to come on Feb. 16th!!! To the post above me, I heard back from UCSB at the beginning of this month, interviewed by someone in the PhD department and invited to visit this 20th.

Dawnbreaker Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 To the post above me, I heard back from UCSB at the beginning of this month, interviewed by someone in the PhD department and invited to visit this 20th. By invited to visit, do you mean you have been admitted? If so, do you have an idea about how many have been admitted? I didn't see any posts on UCSB (ME) in the results survey.
ShadowFairy Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 By invited to visit, do you mean you have been admitted? If so, do you have an idea about how many have been admitted? I didn't see any posts on UCSB (ME) in the results survey. I was interviewed by someone in the department via video call, then immediately after that I was invited to visit campus. There wasn't any mention of admission, just the fact that they were really impressed with my application. I applied for a Master's at UCSB, but was invited to the PhD department. A friend told me that UCSB takes in very few Master's students and usually try to recruit more PhD students. So that explains the above. I have no idea how many have been admitted though. I would wait and hope for the best since they are still recruiting and there are two separate visitation days. Princeton people, prepare your asses for Feb. 16th. I expect that's when we'll hear back regarding some admissions, including my (official) one. Lol I hope there wasn't any mistake with mine. XD
ShadowFairy Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Update: I also received official admission to Yale. I was kind of expecting it though after such a good conversation with a POI. Good luck to everyone with admissions! I can say that what I believe got me in to both Princeton and Yale are my research fits. No 4.00 GPA, perfect GRE scores, first-author publications, Master's degrees (lol cause I have none of that). Make your intent clear in your statement of purpose about why you're such a good fit for the school and contact professors about it.
g_c Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Also got notice of admission for University of Washington (Aero) and University of Connecticut (MechE) So relieved... Did they give you a deadline to respond to your visit request too? Yes, by the 13th of this month.
cssimps Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Anyone know what's going on with MIT and Stanford admissions?
AltArcIs Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Anyone know what's going on with MIT and Stanford admissions? I am still waiting on MIT (and Berkeley). I see there are a lot of decisions made last week, so im curious on the delayed response as you are.
ShadowFairy Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Anyone know what's going on with MIT and Stanford admissions? Stanford's should be out by now, they sent out a horde of decisions last week. Didn't apply for MIT, so no clue there.
syc Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I saw several admits of Caltech ME last month. Apply: Berkeley, Cornell, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech(aero), Princeton, MIT Admission: Berkeley, Cornell, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech(aero) Rejects: MIT, Princeton
crossing Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Also those who have got admits from Berkeley but don't want to join, could you please reject the offer early? We know (from last year) that Berkeley is waiting to send the remaining decisions only because of you. Last year, it was sending decisions as late as 14-15 April. Thanks a lot in advance.
