Emailed MIE graduate office, got replied:" admission results will be sent out in the next 4 weeks".....so, let's hope for the best:)

TTPB Did u have an interview? And with whom in the department?

My first. With GRA funding for an year.

Received admission decision yesterday from graduate office. Received Funding for the 1st year (TA) from the department. Also invited for a paid visit in Mid March.

Did anybody hear any news about funding from the Mechanical Engineering Department? Got the acceptance letter only. No news of funding.

TTPB: I am international. The offer letter from the department did indicate my sub-field (area of research). The letter is from grad coordinator (the ME grad office). I had no interview before so I believe everything was determined by the committee. Probably there are different committee for different areas in ME and each one has its timeline for releasing department offer. Don't worry to much cuz I believe a Ph.D. admit will get TA at least.

TTPB: The Mechanical Engineering department is hoping to send out all the decision around March 1.

TTPB: thanks for your answer. Do you mind sharing if you are international/domestic, when you heard back, and what your area is? Did you receive the funding letter from the graduate advisor or from a professor?

To the poster below. I believe the admission letter on myStatus is from the UT Grad School. The ME department should send you a department admission letter containing the financial packages (RA/TA offer, possible scholarship/fellowship). I received the department letter one day after the myStatus letter. You can contact the ME grad coordinator to ask for your status.

Hey, did anyone heard back from UIUC???

Has anyone else been accepted but not heard anything about funding from the department?

TPPB: That's not true. Hang in there. It's not true until you get a result.

Funding TBD with potential PI. Was at preview days. Best of luck to all waiting!

Funding is awaiting decision by the UT.
