I've waited for this a lot. This is really great. It takes more than 8 weeks to be announced. If there is somebody who is waiting for the result over 8 weeks, I can tell you will get the result soon.

I'm sorry to inform you that you will not be offered admission to the Cornell University's Ph.D. program for Fall 2017. With a combined total of nearly 500 applications to the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, we were able to admit less than 15% of the applicant pool. While recognizing that we must deny many qualified applicants, the faculty endeavors to choose applicants they feel are the most appropriate match for our program. We wish you the best with whatever next year brings.

Had an interview and got a positive response in just 2 days. Decent UG scores, excellent Masters scores, 1 paper and several research internships.

1 year TAship

Good luck to those who didn't get in (we will get in somewhere) and congrats to those who got in. I'm sad and I will go cry tonight. I'll model the fluid motion of my tears flowing down my cheeks which will never kiss the Ithaca sunlight.

To the poster below: NEVER give up! New opportunities will come your way, as you keep FIGHTING!

Third rejection. I don't think I will get admission offer from any of the schools. Although I am sad, I know it's time to think about other options. Good luck to everyone.
