North Carolina State University Mechanical Engineering Graduate School Admission Results

UNC that can not manage its application process, wants to forcefully position itself among top 30 schools. It is a joke! I have not heard about my application yet! I have emailed and called them thousands of times and no answer! Butttttt finally someone answered my phone this week! A rude and impolite woman that explained that if there was any information, she would have known! She added that she could not do anything more. She didn't know with whom I may contact. She didn't know how long I should wait. She didn't know .... Indeed she did know all of them but she loved being rude and unhelpful! However this is just fun for me! I have already accepted an offer from a top 10 school and continue calling UNC just to have an estimation of how much unprofessional a program may be. They can not manage themselves, how they want to teach management to their students?

Anyone heard anything from the department?

rejected off waitlist

I gained useful information from this site. I am returning favor.

Phew! I will almost certainly accept the offer, freeing up a space for South Carolina (where I LOVED doing my master's work). To those of you who had issues w SC -- I was absolutely shocked. I've had nothing but exceptionally positive experiences with administrators and profs. I do hope other readers will give SC the fair chance it deserves.

To the poster below, maybe they didn't accept you because you can't even write the word "nonsense" correctly. I'm just saying. :)

Just received RAship from a professor's email notification, but the official letter is still on the way.

To the poster below: UNC Chapel Hill is one of the top 25 universities in the United States (either public or private). This year, so far, they have 36,000 applications for 4000 places, in both graduate and undergrad. Soooooo?

I'm from Italy, and I was wondering whether this is considered to be a prestigious university overall in the US? I want to teach in American academia afterwards, so that's why I ask.

First choice--Yay, Chapel Hill!!!!! GPA-all honors non cum undergrad with thesis and bac. V-710, Quant 690, AW-5.5

Accepted off the waitlist. Full funding ($15k/academic year, $3k/summer).

Unfortunately, we will not be admitting new students this fall, due to capacity, and financial issues. --It is funny

Was my top choice. Received the acceptance via email just as I began realizing that my research interests might not really be represented in the department. Still super happy and plan on visiting next week to meet faculty.

I'm on the waitlist at UNC. To those accepted-- anyone going somewhere else?

I wonder if they are more strict about their GRE scores than other programs?

Was on the waitlist.

Called after never receiving a letter. Wish this was an April Fools joke... End of the line for me this year :(
