I had interview with a prof in structure. He asked me tell if I would join his group, if so he will send me an offer letter. Before making a decision I wanted to know about PhD stipend. Anybody got any idea about it?

will work with prof. haim waisman

No interviews, no replies when contacting faculties. So the rej is expected...

Has anyone heard back from Columbia MS? I know that there are construction management offers sent out last Friday. Wonder about other tracks...

Notified of acceptance without funding

Applied at 27/Dec, Digital interviewed at 16/Feb, Waitlisted at 6/Mar

From the university with civil subject ranked top 10. Still unbelievable!! Received the email to check the decision letter in the apply web. Financial decision hasn't been made yet. Good luck to everyone!

Has anyone made a facebook page for people who are starting SDC in the Fall?

Got this reply to my email today - Thank you for your email -- we are pleased that you are applying to Stanford University for your graduate studies! The SDC admissions committee is still releasing decisions. The original aim to notify all applicants by mid March has been pushed back more than once. We are unable to speculate when they might issue a decision on any single application, however, we are expecting a new batch of decisions by the end of next week. Once a decision has been made, the decision letter will be posted to your applyweb account and you will be notified by email at that time. Thank you for your patience.

I also called few times, recently. Not even being waitlisted! She said no decisions yet on my case... this really sucks ... :-(

So anyone hear any updates recently? Maybe we should start a support thread in the forum.

vvv guys, first of all, the enrollment stats is on Stanford’s website - check it out. CEE is one of their two larges graduate departments. Second, don’t get me wrong here. My comment was not bitter but a suggestion for those who haven’t got a decision as of now like me (I think it was more like a compliment to Stanford). Not trying to turn this result report page into a discussion forum, but: 1. Obviously if we are not considered as strong as the ones who have got in earlier, I see no reason clinging to this school instead of moving on at this point. 2. A friend of mine went to Stanford said there is always a long line in front of professors office not asking about class but waiting to ask them for research positions since everyone there want one, but these positions are limited so they often get ignored - pretty much the same thing happened to the ones trying to email and call during admission process. So in short, the competition is for sure tougher at Stanford because of its being prestigious. Cheers and good luck to all who got in!

I think 500 is actually quite a normal grad student population in any engineering department in a big research U.S university. Many other selective CEE programs have even more than 500 and they're all proactive and competitive. Stanford has a very BIG engineering school so 500 is actually not considered too many.

To the poster below: I’m not sure what to think of your comments about Stanford’s CEE students’ credentials.... should I interpret it as your bitterness for not getting in (yet)? Or just your self consolation by reading one of the million posts on quora? Everyone should have a good future ala he/she works hard for it, no matter you’re a Stanford grad or not. After all, my friend (who is proactive and competitive and good as a human being) got into this program, but I didn’t, but that doesn’t mean that I should start thinking he is gonna have a harder time getting a job than me. Be a bit mature please. Good luck and be kind.

Also, consider this guys - Stanford has about 500 civil engr grad students, and getting a master there is far from a ticket to their PhD program. Go where is best for your future (financially and opportunities wise) - Stanford grad students are all proactive and competitive, making it harder to secure a good opportunity. Read Quora if you want to know more :-)

This is dumb. I got into another top 3 school with full funding and three other top 10 Civ Engr schools. I bet if we are in the waitlist now, we are all good candidates and certainly got admitted somewhere else already. Now even if they admit us, the chance that they get turned down is higher and only bring in people who has nowhere else to go. I'm still waiting for an admission though, just to brag around that I turned down Stanford :P

Yes, I think so. The chances are really slight. I am going to Berkeley!
