I reached out to and met with my prospective advisor in September, and applied in November.

Thank you for applying to the Civil and Environmental Engineering program in the College of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. We regret to inform you that we were unable to admit you to our graduate program. We sincerely hope that you will continue to pursue your educational goals.

IELTS 7. After all this time, I am too disappointed :((

Too bad. 3 admissions so far. I'm grateful

Canadian applicant, notified via email that I had a message in my portal. I applied back in late February. I completed my undergrad in environmental science at UofT and was honestly expecting a rejection due to a lack of fundamental engineering courses. I likely won't be accepting this, though, as there is no guaranteed internship/co-op like there are at Calgary and UBC which I have also applied to. Furthermore, I wasn't using my brain at the time of application but the petroleum industry is on its way out, so it probably isn't a great prospect for the future. Cool that I got accepted though.

INGNORE STATUS. Has anyone heard of the waitlist for PhD results or when the results will come out?

Reason for Rejection: non engineering background. I was told I met other requirements.
