Was originally waitlisted. Got the official offer today via email. Beyond excited. Best of luck for anyone still on the waitlist.

Has anyone else heard back from UT Austin for the MechE Masters program?

Received an email saying I was recommended for admissions to Berkeley's MEng class of 2022. Applied for mechanical engineering with a concentration in product design. Tuition is crazy high tho.

funding for masters seems scarce... mostly will join UIUC

Never had a chance to be honest, but POI said ...

I had three "interviews" to find a fit for me. Three different labs, one technical internship(related to current research), and e-board of SWE, Engineering Education, and other engineering societies/clubs. Received 2021 NSF GRFP. No papers/abstracts. Did not submit GRE scores, but scored around the 65th percentile. A BS in ME from a state/public school. Reasons why I may have been accepted: Super solid recommendation letters(current PI, internship Supervisor, my PI/prof from my first lab in freshman year), talked about trying different research fields/labs which may have demonstrated serious interest in current research, and very involved with my department I turned down the offer because it didn't fit my research/career goals.

Sub plan Automotive, generic rejection letter. No publication, 1 year of teaching experience, and work experience in automotive. 1 course-based Master's ongoing, wanted to do a thesis-based master's.

Pretty much expected it :(

Emailed to check update, finally rejected

If you have an offer from Vanderbilt and have decided not to go, could you please decline the offer as soon as possible?

TTPB: Hi, I'm another admit. When you receive the admission email from the department (MechSE), you are basically admitted. The MechSE department recommends you for admission to the UIUC Graduate College, and the Graduate College formally admits you into graduate study at the university. This is just a formality. Unless something is seriously wrong, you are admitted. Soon the portal will update and you will receive notification from the UIUC Graduate College, but first, the recommendation for admission has to be processed. Then I assume we will get our NetID, UIN, i-Card, etc.

TTPB: I am one of the recently accepted candidates. The status 'awaiting decision' is still the same on my page. I think they won't update it any longer. I only received the email of acceptance but the status remained unchanged. Check your inbox, no need of logging into your account. Fingers crossed.

Have any of the recent accepted candidates had their decision awaiting for a long time before receiving the acceptance later?

Any update on funding decisions by the department?
