人多坑少哦 UCLA receives many more applications than there are student places available. Each of these applications is carefully reviewed by a departmental faculty committee. In this extremely competitive environment, many talented and promising students are not recommended for admission by these committees.

E-mail to check my appstatus, general reject decision.

Got the acceptance email at 10 am IST and asked to contact professors for RA/TA

They sent an email asking me to check the website. The professor mentioned via mail 1 week earlier

Invited to Graduate Recruitment and Open House for "upper echelon of applicants"

Invited to a recruitment event and open house. Unfortunately, they will not cover travel expenses and say it has no impact on admission decision.

Coming in with MS in Biomedical from Big 10 school (3.8 GPA). Skyped with PI twice and received unofficial decision in email

They just emailed me (since it was around 4 am PST I knew it should be rejection and they probably have not read my SOP, resume and LOR) to check appstatus website . I was surprised how they made decision without having my POI checked my application. It was funny that in their email they said "A faculty committee at UCLA has made a decision on your application". Anyways, congrats to those who were accepted.

To the MAE accepted low gpa poster, What are the initials of your advisor?

To the students who are interviewed: Have you heard any decision yet from the department?

Received a mail stating profile not competitive enough. Apparently, the above credentials and an international journal publication don't suffice.

I am so excited! 😆

Low GPA, relevant research to PI of choice, good letters, national lab

No words of funding.

I received this, "I am writing to let you know that you have been selected for an admissions interview for UC Berkeley's Master of Engineering program."

With RAship.
