Anyone knows when this program will finally release all the decisions? Congrats to those who got in!

To the poster below, first of all, congratulations! second, how much funding did they offer you? I'm curious.

Received email from faculty. Offer with funding. He said the official letters will be received "soon" although I don't know how "soon" this could be. Anyone on the same boat? (Apparently this program is extremely competitive, as I was told by people who went to open house and faculty...). Good luck all!

Totally agree with posts below. I mean I am really disappointed with Stanford CEE. It has been four months and not even a single piece of explanation was provided by the admission office. They just do not care about the time and efforts of applicants at all. Going to Columbia instead.

Unofficial email from faculty. Don't worry and be patient. Admission letters will be sent out soon.

I applied to six schools and Stanford SDC accepted me back in february, they didnt tell me how much aid I was getting till two days ago. I heard back from berkeley a week ago and I still havent heard back from UCLA. This is not a Stanford SDC thing, typically if they haventent responded its cause theyre not interested, I agree it pisses me off too, I cant believe UCLA hasnt responded to me either. rnrnI wouldnt ask for my money back because it is nonrefundable when you apply, youre just gonna look like a fool and burn some bridges. I would suggest just move on if you got into another school like berkeley. I will similarly be ignoring how much UCLA disrespected me and pissed me off

To the poster below, we are on the same boat. Applied before the second deadline and still didn't hear back from them.

Literarily today is the last day for me to wait for their decision letter: I have to respond to Berkeley by this Sunday. I am kind of disappointed by this SDC program now. I submitted my application by Dec 4th and heard nothing from SDC, while another guy I know applied for the structural program by Dec 15th got even financial aid decision in March: The deadlines they posted online are just jokes. I am not anticipating an offer now, but I just want a decision letter to let me move on accepting other promising programs. I am going to request a refund of my application fee next week since I did not get the "service" this money is paid for: to give me a decision letter so I can choose a graduate program by April 15th. I really wonder what kind of force majeure the admission office is experiencing that hinders them to make a decision in 4 months. For the applicants in the future, if you are reading this post, you might want to think twice before applying to SDC program at Stanford CEE.

To the poster below, you received the offer on wednesday or were you admitted earlier?

Declined a half-tuition fellowship.

To the poster below, how much financial aid are they providing?

I was admitted to SDC in February and I just heard about my financial aid package today. The email said that a faculty member had an emergency family situation that has made them late. Be patient and I’m sure everyone will hear very soon about admission and aid. Good luck to everybody!

Has any one received any updates for the date of announcement of results?

Has anyone heard of the next set of admissions in this program? Don't know what is with them, they are not even responding the emails.

No funding yet. I was told by a lecturer that assistantship positions are limited. Hopefully, I'll get an assistantship.

I'm guessing that by industrial experience you mean work experience/ industry experience rather than experience in industrial jobs. I think they definitely seem to focus on the whole package, so having good grades is important but they take other factors into account. I met a guy there who had a philosophy undergrad degree but a ton of experience in construction and he got into the SDC-M program. I personally had a decent gpa, although no where near a 4, but I had a lot of good work experience and LOR's and I managed to get in. Best of luck!

Thank you for applying for graduate studies at Virginia Tech. We very much appreciate your interest in our advanced degree programs. Faculty members responsible for graduate education have carefully reviewed all applications for admission for the upcoming academic year and have thoroughly discussed each one. We have now reached a decision about your application. We are sorry to inform you that we cannot offer you admission to Virginia Tech at this time. The main reason for this decision is that the faculty in the Civil Engineering program found your credentials to be less competitive than those of other applicants. We receive many applications for graduate study at Virginia Tech each year and unfortunately are not able to admit all potential students. We understand you might be disappointed by this decision, and wish you every success in your future pursuits.

To the posters below who were admitted to SDC: how is your working experience? I heard that this program is more focused on industrial experience so I'm afraid I'm not competitive at all.
