ak547 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 @luisalasnjr That's nice to hear. Glad someone is in a similar situation! Well, I heard from Purdue today. Got accepted. However, they didn't give funding yet. They said I have to email profs for RAships. luisalasnjr 1

There I actually applied for aerospace systems as my first option and aerodynamics as the second one. In aerodynamics I am interested in the work by Dr. Blaisdell.

I'm not sure yet, but I know for a fact that I can't afford this school without an RA.

I just got official acceptance for a PhD by email today. The prof I wanted to work with told me early, so I was expecting it. @luisalasnjr I would have applied to some US schools, but honestly the political situation down there scares the heck out of me. pvfm 1

As an international student in Texas I can relate to your concerns. I'm hopeful it will get better soon. BTW, congratulations on your PhD admission, what's your area of interest?

BTW, congratulations on your PhD admission, what's your area of interest? Thanks! My Master's is in multiphase CFD, which obviously covers a lot. Turbulence modeling dominates a lot of that landscape, so naturally I became interested in pursuing it in my PhD. We have a few projects in mind.
luisalasnjr Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 @ak547 Got an admission to Illinois at Urbana-Champaign! Still waiting to hear from the other schools. pvfm 1
pvfm Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Congratulations @luisalasnjr! Ms or PhD? I'm still waiting to hear from UIUC and U of Michigan Edited March 6, 2017 by pvfm
luisalasnjr Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 @pvfm It's a MS program. I'm trying to arrange a visit to the department and meet with some professors. I also got a rejection from Washington-Seattle (PhD) last Friday. Have you heard anything about funding?

Congratulations! So did I, but no funding yet! However, I did get a fully funded PhD offer from Virginia Tech!
jljljljl Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Has anyone who got accepted to the MS program at UIUC heard about the funding situation yet? It seems a lot of people got accepted to the non-thesis option which has no funding, but I have no idea what the chances are for funding for the thesis option admits. They told us to contact profs in the mean-time which I have started doing. So far one has said he doesn't have any projects/funding at this time, and the other hasn't gotten back to me yet. Wonder what the chances are for getting funding from the department, doesn't sound good anyhow.
luisalasnjr Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 @jljljljl I was also offered an admission to the MS program at UIUC. I got the email on Monday and it said that funding options are still being reviewed. I have also contacted a professor (Dr. Selig) asking if he is accepting any new students. I'm planning to visit the department next week to get a better idea on this. Finally, what's your area of specialization?
luisalasnjr Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 @pvfm I see in your profile you were also accepted in UT Austin. Congratulations! That's amazing! Did you receive an email or you found out on the Open AM website? So far which one are you inclined to attend?
pvfm Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 @luisalasnjr It was actually an unofficial acceptance from PI after interview. I'll receive the official letter and possibly funding information till the end of March. If I get funding offers from both UT Austin and Georgia Tech, I'd choose Tech due to research fit.
Kev_182 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) @ak547 Hey man, congrats on your purdue admit. I got an admit from purdue too. Did you hear back from any professors for a RAship? Edited March 16, 2017 by Kev_182

luisalasnjr Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 @Kev_182 It seems like a lot of people got decisions today. I have not heard anything. I applied to a PhD program there but on my SOP I said that I would be ok if offered admission to the MS program.
Kev_182 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 @luisalasnjr Have you contacted UMich or just waiting it out?

I contacted professor Driscoll like a month ago but he did not provide much information, he just said they were still reviewing profiles and would get back to me once decisions were made. Looking at the results website, it seems like people are getting decisions right now, so I'm guessing we should hear back from them before the end of the week.
luisalasnjr Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Also, for those who applied to Texas A&M, one of the grad coordinators told me that they have a policy where they only accept people with a commitment of support from one of the faculty members (assistantships). I had emailed a couple of professors with no success and was honestly waiting to be admitted before reaching out to more people, but now I will start making some calls.
StarLord Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Um guys, I'm kind of late to the party here but, I finished my application process only in late Feb and Mid march. CSULB - Pending, UAlabama - Accepted, UTArlington - Pending, SUNY Buffalo - Pending, WVU - Pending, UAlabama Huntsville - Pending I know these aren't the top universities for aero. But I wanted to know how well known the aero program is at these universities.
