No idea what these guys want. Literally had all boxes checked, regardless, all the best to others who got in.

No scholarship

Very surprised! I was waitlisted last year for the same program. So this year I converted 2 of my projects into IEEE publications, added one more year of research experience at India's top research institute and my projects had very high funding too, strong LoR from my dean and my guide at the lab. Got into umich and Cornell. Disappointed that got a straight reject this year even with a better profile, also can't see any other rejects here so maybe I'm the first reject lol

MEng, Mechanical Engineering specializing in Modeling and Simulation of Advanced Manufacturing Process. I'm an international student.

Interview invitation on 2/8, interviewed on 2/11, and admitted on 2/15.

MEng in Robotics and Control, blank profile with zero research + intern, let alone research in robotics. Undergrad thesis in CFD, minor is business finance. But the admission says they are "incredibly impressed", I myself am not impressed.

Attended the visit day a week ago and received the offer today.

No assistantships granted as none is available this time.

Didn't use my GRE score as it wasn't required. General Acceptance Letter. No information about funding which might be the case for Master's offer but not sure.
