richinsane Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I'm about to have an anxiety explosion from playing UCB and Stanford's waiting game. Me too... I don't know if I would receive the answer from Stanford trough email or snail mail...... so I keep checking both...................... Unfortunately I received a rejection of UCB... so Stanford is the only hope....

Yeah, last week I email a professor from UCB to find out if anydecision has been made and it turn out to be a rejection... so in order to not disturb the decision I shall wait... I need towait... but I don't want to...I need to know the decisions now! Nevertheless, been in Chile does not help to have a chance toattend to visitation day... I did have tons of work before the earthquake andnow it just crazy and the fact that I work in a seismic reviewing company doesnot help either.

I'm going to try my luck if it's a rejection so be it
richinsane Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Which professor did you email? I'm going to try my luck if it's a rejection so be it I sent an email first to Professor Stojadinovic he told me he was not in charge of admissions this year, that now was Professor Armero and I sent him the last "deadly" email with the rejection answer...
comp_math Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I sent an email first to Professor Stojadinovic he told me he was not in charge of admissions this year, that now was Professor Armero and I sent him the last "deadly" email with the rejection answer... Where are you rejected and accepted?
richinsane Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Where are you rejected and accepted? Rejected : UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech Accepted: UC San Diego
s1u8n Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Rejected : UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech Accepted: UC San Diego I took the leap of faith and emailed Prof Armero and a Stanford professor, and got no replies......
richinsane Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I took the leap of faith and emailed Prof Armero and a Stanford professor, and got no replies...... Good luck!
shone Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 is there anyone who applied the geo-technical engineering? I have not got any news from school. Worried.
comp_math Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Rejected : UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech Accepted: UC San Diego UCSD is a good school. What do you want to work in?
richinsane Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 UCSD is a good school. What do you want to work in? I know that is a good school... I currently work in a structural engineering company dedicated to analyze complicated structures and earthquake engineering consulting (reviewing is mandatory in Chile) so I applied to the Structural Engineer MS. The thing is that my wife was accepted in Berkeley for her PhD... so thing are getting complicated. But I do like San Diego and I will wait the Stanford decision in order to make a decision.

How come you didn't apply to the PhD program?
s1u8n Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Stanford Prof emailed me saying he doesn't remember seeing my application. Looks like they lost my app, lol?????
richinsane Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 How come you didn't apply to the PhD program? mmm... did not have the funding... and... some programs do not allow international applicants to apply to PhD without a MS degree... but some professors told me that my experience could speed up the process of the MS...
richinsane Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Stanford Prof emailed me saying he doesn't remember seeing my application. Looks like they lost my app, lol????? damn... who did you email in stanford?
s1u8n Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 damn... who did you email in stanford? Prof. Law, he was very nice about it, and forwarded my email to the admin people. But still, the fact he hasn't read my application yet spells trouble lol, maybe my GRE score didn't make the cut, and my app got tossed into the reject pile automatically - -; tragedy!

Well you have to wait until all gets official...that the tricky part... I will wait for the Stanford answer, is the last one that I carefor...and I will stick to my rule of not sending emails to professors... atleast for this week...
jeeves Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Anyone hear from MIT Civil yet for masters (not transportation)?
richinsane Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Anyone hear from MIT Civil yet for masters (not transportation)? Nope... just silence... but I applied to the Master in High Performance Structures
msincivil Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Anyone hear from MIT Civil yet for masters (not transportation)? I wrote to MIT got a acceptance via email... MEng in High Performance structures
jeeves Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I wrote to MIT got a acceptance via email... MEng in High Performance structures Did you get funding? Who did you email?
comp_math Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Did you get funding? Who did you email? Is there even funding for MEng program?
richinsane Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Is there even funding for MEng program? I think that there is no funding for the MEng... that's what I remember from the time that I was looking for information about the different programs...
richinsane Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I wrote to MIT got a acceptance via email... MEng in High Performance structures Did you write to a Professor or to the Graduate Admissions Administration?? (I received once an email from Patricia Glidden from the Graduate Admissions Administration)
