Today I received that " Thank you for your email. We regret to inform that your application is currently not shortlisted by any professor. Meanwhile, your application will be kept in our common pool for faculty review. If the faculty is interested in your application, they will contact you.Regards,MAE Graduate Studies Unit". Does it means I am rejected ? or waitlisted? I think you are on the waitlist. I guess. Just wait for the faculty level to email back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi , Today I received a reply from a professor after I expressed my wish to pursue PhD under him. He called me up for a skype discussion with him tomorrow. I'm actually nervous and not sure what to expect. Could you please tell how the usual skype discussion would be and how should I prepare for it? Should I consider it as official interview from NTU?

Ardent_PhD Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Congratulations that you found your proposed supervisor. I think that it can be called a shortlisted interview. Don't need to be worry. They will ask you about your academic interest or maybe the topic of your research proposal. Good luck and finger crossed !

I am not sure if I could call it as an Interview.. It went more like an Informal chat. The professor asked just generic questions like What are my previous research experiences, skillsets etc. Today he mailed me with a Journal Article and stated that I should give him a write-up of what that paper was about in 3 days. I am not sure what that means and clearly not optimistic about NTU at this timeframe ... Anyways I am hoping to get into NUS as I'd applied based on a Professor suggestion that he is very much willing to take me provided I clear the 'pre-screening' of the department in his own words. I am really hopeful for it as the research fit is great between us. How about you? Did you hear back from the department? Hopefully we both get admitted according to our wishes!

Hi bro, Today I received this mail from my PI but I am not so sure that I received an admit from NTU. "I'm happy to let you know that you have been selected for the PhD position in my group. The School will now review your application and communicate with you directly regarding the administrative procedures." Does it means that there is also a possibility that my application will get turned down at this stage by the School despite the offer from the professor? Could you please give any information on this? Edited May 5, 2016 by roboticx Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this stage the school will send your application to the main graduate studies office (ntu itself not the division or school) , so you have to wait for the official confirmation and the scholarship info from the main office. Which scholarship do you apply to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhD_R Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 @roboticx Have you heard back? I applied to IGS and haven't heard anything from them till now. Should I assume it is a reject since its mid-May already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I assume it is a reject since its mid-May already? Not from MAE but I'd received rejection letter from IGS - NITHM PhD program in March. I had applied based on the encouragement from Mr.Liedberg and I was selected by a professor for funding,after an Interview, but it didn't turn out well. I heard IGS is really selective among all departments in NTU and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis till June. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether the award covers the tuition fee though as the language in Scholarship offer is ambiguous. Could you tell me whether it includes tuition fee ?
