Anyone applied to Cornell's Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

anyone applied to this program? Does anyone know their timeline? Thanks!!

I applied to Cornell for Mechanical Engineering, and heard back earlier this week. I know TAM was recently subsumed by the MAE department... but I'm not sure if TAM does its admissions separately from MAE still? When you filled out the application, did you apply for TAM specifically, or Mechanical Engineering with a focus in TAM?

Anyway, I know that's not super helpful, but it's at least one data point for ya.

thanks! I think they have a separate admission system. Have u got accepted to MAE?

Yep! Open house is 3/12-3/13... let me know if TAM's is the same weekend when you're admitted. =)

Cong!!!I don't know. I know TAM admits very little people and I know someone admitted very late two years before. So may not hear from them before the open house

Yeah, TAM's a really interesting department - I was torn between TAM and MAE but chose MAE since their research is a bit broader. What are your interests, research-wise? Did you apply to any other TAM-like departments?

My undergrad was control (a subfield both in EE and MAE). My grad was in dynamical system. TAM has a great program in nonlinear dynamical system. Anyone depart I applied is Northwestern's ESAM. Actually, there are very few TAM-like departments now.
