Typical rejection!

Email to check the portal.

Worst admissions cycle. Will have to figure out if I need to apply again. Covid has ruined the big plans.

Created an ID and tracked for 3 days only to be told they sent a physical letter to my house for rejection. Just done with the whole application process

Email (spam) to check portal.

TTPB: I still have not heard anything from UT. I scrolled back to see the admissions for ME applicants last Fall and it seems like a lot of people got their decision on the 15th of April which is pretty bad. Not sure whether or not I should email admissions regarding status.

Is there anyone who got admission from Udel, ME dept? It's been too long.

TTPB: UT Austin has already sent out admissions for Mechanical Engineering MS and PhD students. The virtual open house was a month ago. You might want to contact them regarding the status of your application.

Has anyone heard anything from UTA? First they said they'll be releasing results by Feb end and then by march end but it's been pretty silent all around.

[Ignor Waitlist] TTPB: Congratulations to the ME acceptance, did you apply for non-thesis or thesis?

As I quote "Selection is based on many factors including grades, reference letters, publications (if any), work experience, available space in area of research interest, and acceptance by potential supervisors. The number of applicants and the number of available spaces vary from year to year. The admission process is timely and varies for each student and program. Faculty members evaluate applications on an ongoing basis; as such, we cannot provide a specific date for a decision. Please note that a supervisor is required for entry into our graduate research programs; if you are not selected by a faculty member, you will not receive an offer letter. We understand securing a potential supervisor is the most challenging section of the application process. We encourage applicants to continue reaching out to potential supervisors via e-mail You can review your application status online anytime through the application portal using your CWL. Please be patient while our office considers your application. After submission of your application, your application status will remain the same until we finalize our decision. We understand and sympathize with your concerns about your application; however, we would appreciate if you refrain from calling or e-mailing to check your application status. "

MEng acceptance. McGill Mech Eng Undergrad, 3.7+ gpa, two internship experience. Will decline the offer.

"You have been placed on a Wait List for possible admission to the Ph.D. program at Cornell University. Because of the very unusual circumstances under which we are living at the moment, we are, for the first time, maintaining a Waitlist for admission into the Ph.D. program so that we can better control the size of our incoming class. We would like to invite you to our virtual visit day which is being held on Monday, March 8. I will send additional information once it has been finalized. If you decide to accept an offer from another school, please let me know so that I can remove you from the Wait List. " Anyone hear from them since being waitlisted?

It was a long wait, finally recommended for admission!

TTPD who haven't received any funding letter. when did you submit your application? can you share your profile?

*no wait listed* Has anyone heard back from the uni ? Only PhD admits/rejects are out I suppose !

I did not get a funding letter yet from the mechanical department

TTPB: hey that means you're accepted. Congrats! envy you

Finally, the generic rejection letter is here. I thought I did a good job on writing my SOP, but it obviously didn't matter. I probably shouldn't have chosen the most popular Prof. as my interested faculty - maybe that added to the difficulty of getting in. Congratulations to who got in!
